BANKERS DISCUSS
PROBLEMS OF DAY
Suggestions Made To Reach Solu-
tion-Meet at Pinehurst.


recommendations for the solution of
present pressing business problems
were made in reports submitted to-
day to the executive council of the
American Bankers association meet
ing here by the economic policy
commission and the commission on
commerce and marine.
The influence of European BUSH
ness and financial conditions on the
United States was discussed in a re-
port by John D, McHugh> of New
York, chairman of the commerce
and marine committee, and a warn
ing against 'hasty measures of legis-
lature designed to relieve the. abnor-
NAL conditions at present existing
in trade and industry was sounded
in a report of the economic policy
committee of which Paul N. War
burg is chairman. 81
: A report of the savings bank divi-
sion opposed development Of gov
eminent organizations to the extent
of creating competition with savings
institutions. The council also de-
cided to make a crusade against
bank robbers because Of the crime

Approval of the McFadden bill.
provides a new position to be known
as the under secretary Of the trea-
sury and a~bolishing the Office of the
comptroller of the currency was en-
braced in the reports of the econom-
ic policy committee.
"We believe" the report says,
chat the governor. of the federal
reserve board should be elected by
the board, instead of being named,
with the vice governor, by the pres
ident and that the governor, in
stead Of the secretary Of the treas
ury should be the presiding officer.
The latter, being rarely able to al
tend the meetings, can not be close
ly interested in touch with the bank
ing business. On account Of the I'M
perative demands which the regular
duties Of the secretary of the treas
ury make upon that official we view
with favor the suggestion that the
position Of under secretary of the
treasury corresponding to the posi-
ton Of under secretary in the de-
Of state be created and
that. this official represent the treas
ury on the board"
The report emphasized the neces-
sity for the strictest economy in all
branches Of the government.
. The repeal Of the present tax up
on excess profits was urged, while
the present levies upon transports
tion, especially upon freight, were
said to be harmful to business. In it's
consideration of. the problems con-
fronting the railroads Of the coun-
try the report said It was idle to seek
cure in government ownership and
operation.
The Esch-Cummins law, it con-
tinued, has not had a fair test and
there is good reason to believe that
in normal times and with some
notifications it will prove itself ca
pable Of effectively meeting our rail-
road problems. 81

Henry Segel.;en is - old time ball
player. and was years star hurl-
er with the Marydel and oxford mines.
j. c. Segelken, manager. has followed
in the footsteps of his father in the ma
tional game. being at present the star
all around player of the local team.
He was formerly a backstop. but has
lately been playing the infield and out
field and doing it in clever style.
The material for the nine looks far
better than for several years. The
only position at present which is in
doubt is that of pitcher. and ii is likely
that one will have to be imported.
Behind the bat will be Weber. who
has demonstrated repeatedly that he
has the goods.
At first either Ike Gibbs, or Segel
ken will officiate, and either man is
capable of handling tho post. Bennie
Gibbs will adorn the keystone sack.
unless displaced by some youngster,
while sid" Jones. an old time star. will
return TO the fold st shortstop. Jones
has not played for several years. but
his practice is up To the old time stand
ard
Third base is a problem and unless
some kid comes 10 the fore. Jacobs or
Segelken may take the position.
For the outfield there is a host of
candidates. Davis, Swain. Hotis, Poore.
Ninyard- Ellison and several others
viii all try out with the hope of land
ing berth. With this aggregation to
choose from Segelken should easily
weld together a winning team.

MERCER TO
HAVE CONTEST

Zap, N. D., April THE farm bu-
reau and the county commissioners
of Mercer county, recognizing the
value of good corn for the county,
have, planned corn contest with the
aim of increasing the corn acreage
and lettering the yields and variety,
according to County Agent Poe.
There are several ways this can
BE- done,' said Mr.. Poe, "but the most
feasible and successful way has been
found in other counties to the through
a corn contest.
1--WE believe it wise to ask the bus
inessmen for donations to give prizes
for the best 20 acres of corn, on the
following basis:
Cleanest field, 25 per cent.
Best 10 ears.
County fair, Is per cent.
Largest yield. rs per cent.
Best report, Is per cent.
Total 100 per cent.
"In some of the other county cob
tests, banks have, given $25 apiece as
cash prizes. Other businessmen have
given $40 in trade, which appeals to
most businessmen.
1--WE recommend that the prizes be
raised by bankers as follows:
First, $3.50; second, SIS; third, S25.
Prizes to be given in trade BY
merchants from surrounding towns SIS
to SIS.
