When the Federal Reserve system
was organized the idea Of regional
independence was urged very strongly
and the first thought was to make the
twelve banks absolutely Independent

posed, and some of the individuals
who opposed it have been since falsely

of consideration the change was made
giving the Federal Reserve Board au-
thority to require n reserve bank to

country. The state vas moderately
excited in the years when the Non
partisan League was forming and
lighting it's way to control of the state
government, but it's attacks were di-

JUSSERAND TOLD

Paris, April 27-(By The Associat-
ed Press)-The German counterpart
posals on PREPARATIONS as transmitted
to President Harding at Washington
are absolutely unacceptable, and the
French ambassador to the United
States, NJ. Jusserand has been noti-
fled to this effect.
The proposals are characterized by
government officials as "a step back
ward and are declared to give no
promise of a satisfactory settlement.
All eyes are now turned on Wash
ington, where the counter proposals
are under advisement, but no new
fact has developed here up to mid
night to change the situation as it
concerns the attitude of France.
The general feeling is that occu-
patton of the Ruhr is unavoidable but
it is believed in some circles barely
possible that in some way the Ber-
lin government may be made to I'M
derstand through Washington the
seriousness of the situation and the
essential fact that no proposal can
be considered by the French govern
ment unless based on the Paris con-
ditionS.

FURTHER CONCESSION
MADE BY GOVT. TO
ENG, COAL STRIKERS

London, April 27.--(By the Associat-
ed Press1-A settlement of the coal
strike tonight appeared more likely
than at any time since the men laid
down their tools. The government to-
day made another concession, further
narrowing the gulf between tho miners
and the mine owners by proposing a
state grant for a transitional period
of three or four weeks, under which
the miners would be insured against
their wages being reduced more than
three shillings per day.
The mine owners have not yet agreed
to this plan, but both they and the
government will consider the new sit
uation further tomorrow and the hope
was expressed tonight that an agree
able basis would be arranged between
them for presentation to the miners
conference Thursday evening.
AS the miners already have agreed
to a two shilling reduction, it is con-
sdered that there are good prospects
the coming week for a settlement of
the dispute.

u. S. MARKING TIME

Washington, April 27-(By the
Associated Press)-The American
government tonight still was with
out any official information as to the
attitude of the allied powers with
respect to Germany's counter propo-
sails on PREPARATIONS. Consequently a
reply to the communication received
from Berlin yesterday has not been
prepared.
The views of the allied govern
ments are expected to be transmit
ted through their ambassadors here
with whom Secretary Hughes con-
ferred yesterday. None of the en-
voys called at the state department
today, but an Associated Press dis
patch from Paris this evening an
nounced that instructions had gone
forward to Ambassador Jusserand
to inform, the United States that the
German proposals were unaccept-
able to France. 1t was assumed that
NJ. Jusserand would make this
known officially to Mr.. Hughes to-
morrow.
Dispatches from Brussels indi-
Gated that in Belgium the German
| offer also was regarded as unsatis-
| factory. There was no word as to
| the views of the other interested
| parties It was understood, however,
| that officials did not necessarily re-
-, gard as significant the action of
, Great Britain in requesting it's rep
resentatives in Berlin to inquire in
! formally regarding the new German
| offer with a view to making clear
| the term of years over which the
| payments would run.
Administration officers continued
today their policy of silence with re-
gard to the whole reparations ques-
ton 1t was understood, however,
! that an element of the situation
| which they have under consdera-
ton is an intimation from some Of
I the allied governments that the
!. mere transmission of the German
/, offer by the United States would in
f. volve the American government in
! some measure of responsibility.
1t is believed that the state de-
partment is not ready to accept this
view of responsibility on it's part,
provided it's efforts are confined to Il
mere transmission of the comm uni
cation without endorsement of any
kind
As only three days remain before
the date set by the French govern
ment for the beginning of its move
into additional German territory, II
is expected that reply to the Ger
man communication will not be long
delayed.

Paris Papers Analysis

This analysis is beyond comment.
Very much below the terms of the
Paris agreement, without precision as
to true values and maturities, and
bound up with reservations that
would upset the treaty and deprive
the allies of nearly all their guaran-

constitute a basis of discussion. They

Recent differences with his sweet

the highest mark in a competitive
civil service examination, except
where the veterans preference stat

Congressional leaders said their
understanding was that the nominees
had not only qualified under the civ
il service requirements, but were &C
ceptable to party leaders in their re-
spective districts, and that no delay
was anticipated in their confirmation.
Members of both the Senate and
the House said they expected within
few days definition of policy in
regard to postmasterships from
President Harding after consultation
with Postmaster General Hay. This
would probably be, they said, in the
form of an order continuing, perhaps,
with some notifications" the civil
service requirements now existing for
postmasters of all classes, and clari-
flying regulations, providing for the
retirement of postal employees.
What notifications will be under
considerations, was not indicated. al
