to the many questions put to him.
 During his brief stay here Mir. Barndollar took up the matter of unpaid flu bills, and arranged with the flu committee for the settlement in full of all accounts outstanding. The matter has been hanging fire for many months. The money was obtained by the Commission some time ago, but no steps were taken to apply the money on the town bills until the matter was put up to the examiner upon his arrival here. No difficulty whatever was ex- perienced is arranging settlement

A special train arrived from Fair

Taylor is one of the old stand bys of the local team, having been prominent in Nenana baseball cir cles since the very early days of the town. He recently returned from the States to accept a position with the Alaska Road Commission.

CITIZENS ATTEND MEETING
 TO DISCUSS INCORPORATION

Examiner of Accounts R. H. Barndollar, who arrived from An chorage several days ago to take up the question of incorporation with the citizens of Nenana, ad- dressed a largely-attended meeting at the Coliseum theater last night. MT. Barndollar was introduced by Mayor Joe O'Connor, and explained that the contract between the Alas kan Engineering Commission and the purchasers of lots in Nenana would expire in August, at which time the Commission would cease to exercise authority over the town. And he suggested that the citizens take under consideration the question of incorporation as the only proper way to conduct negotiations with the Commission and the Government in such dealings as may be necessary after the termination of relations now existing.
 MT. Barndollar explained that the people of Anchorage had voted to incorporate and appeared to be ell satisfied with the way the city ad- ministration is working there.
 Tn answer to questions, MT. Barn. dollar said that he could not speak for the Commission relative to the continuance of services now provided the town, but he expressed the be- lief that a serious effort would be made to keep the power and water services in operation. He stated al- so that. in the event of incorpora- ton, the Commission would not at tenpt to hold the town liable for any of the expense incurred in con nection with the management and maintenance of the town up to the time of withdrawal from manage ment. Money advanced by the Com mission will be obtained through the disposal of unsold lots, if at all, so that the town, in case of incor- poration, can start off without Ob- legations of any sort, and with the benefit of such improvements as have already been made.
 Mir. Barndollar thought it might be possible to secure from the Gov ernment title to such property as might be desired by the town, but pointed out that an application coming from a regularly organized municipality would have more in- fiuence than a request from an un- organized community.
 It was suggested that the repre- sentative of the Commission en- deavor to secure a definite proposi- tion, in writing, setting forth what are the plans of the Commission in the event of incorporation or failure to incorporate, particularly with re- gard to the operation of public utili- ties, and it is hoped that some such action will be taken. MT. Barndollar gave the assurance that, in any event, ample notice would be gwen the town before any changes are made.
 MT. Barndollar was given a re- spectful and attentive hearing and, at the close of the meeting those present, at the suggestion of Com missioner R s. Mcdonald, gave the speaker a rising vote of thanks for very pleasing manner in which he had conducted the discussion, and for his patience in making answer

here and turn over the vital inter-
ests of the country to the men wao
seem not to understand that we en-.
acted the Federal Reserve law to
meet just such an emergency as the
present and that the Federal Re-
serve banks should meet it,"
Senator Tom Watson also assai;ed
the Federal Reserve system in a
speech before great gathering Of
Georgia farmers, on July 4th when
he quoted figures from John SHELTON
Williams. former comptroller of the
treasury, to prove that the Federal
Reserve system had for the past ten
months "waged war against Amer!-
can business as ruthless, frightful
and destructive as that the Germans
conducted on land and on sea- He
said the destruction of values caused
by the arbitrary contraction of cur
lirency by the orders of the Federal
Reserve board without notice and
without warning had amounted to
approximately 81 billion dollars.
Wants Farmers on Board
Senator Ladd of North Dakota,
for years president of its state agri-
cultural college, and considered one
of the worlds leading authorities on
agricultural problems, holds similar
views. Senator Ladd has made a
| thorough study of marketing and
says that inability of the farmer to
get credit is the greatest single fact
or in the existing depression. Sena-
tor Ladd also says that the Federal
Reserve system was manipulated SO
as to debate farm values and he, too.
favors amendments that will compe.
representatives Of the farming in
terests to be placed on the governing
board. He says that at present the
Federal Reserve "is system OF, by
and for the big bankers" and that
farmers, country bankers, and all de-
pendent upon agriculture can expect
no relief until other interests have
voice in its management.
The great financial interests of the
country which center in New York
and Chicago like the system. 1t
lends itself to manipulation. 1t gives
these financial interests almost ies-
potic power over the nations in
dustry. Naturally they do not want
their control weakened. This is why
the reactionaries in the Senate sought
recess. They knew that the "agTi-
cultural bloc" was determined to
amend to Federal Reserve system
and they feared they would be sup
ported by public sentiment. But tine
effort failed and, flushed by their
! first success, members of the farm
ers' group will push their attack and
endeavor to bring about far reaching
changes in the Federal reserve in

all dependent upon agriculture.

Senator Fletcher took similar
view' and read a letter from j. J..
Brown, commissioner of agriculture
of Florida, which stated that unless
something can be done to aid the
farmers in securing money with
which to liquidate his Indebtedness
and cover the tremendous losses sus-
tanned by deflation of his profits,
our agricultural interests are headed
toward bankruptcy and ruin" and
