Portland, Or, June (Spe-
eAaI. D-UnIess the federal reserve
bank Is authorized BY Law TO
coerce a non-member bank to pay

par. then 1t is acting without au-
thOrity, United States District
Judge c. z. WolTerton declared
here wednesday afternoon.
The courts remarks were sd-
dressed to Frederick Greenwood.
manager Of the Portland branch
OF the federal reserve bank, while
on the stand as q witness for his
institution in the suit which the
Brookfngs lOr.l State bank has
brought against It requesting an
injunction to restrain the reserve
hank from protesting checks
which the Brookings bank refuses
To clear at par. The Brookings
bank also charges the reserve sys-
tenn With bad faith and with
committing acts aimed TO "em-
harass'' the small institution.
There is a well established
banking rule the Judge contin-
ued, that allows a paying bank
to pay by check or draft. and in
this case you are setting aside this
rule and are choosing an expen-
siye way to collect al par"
Hired Agent at $3542.
The court was referring to the
reserve bank keeping an agent at
Brookfngs to collect cash items
over the counter at par. The ex-
pense of the agent for one year
was s3542. whereas the expense
to the reserve bank would have
been but SI02 had the exchanges
been paid, according to the evil
denee. Similar arrangements were
made In other Oregon towns to
collect checks over the counter
where the bank refused to remit
at par.
The purpose of your bank in
sending an agent to these towns
was to coerce the small banks into
Temitting at par. was 1t not7'
asked the court.
mo, your honor" answered
Goodman. Our purpose was only
TO endeayor to collect by what we
deemed the best possible method. 4"

COAST RESERVE BANK
WOULD CUT DISCOUNTS

Washington, June 15-- The
federal reserve bank Of San Fran
cisco has asked the federal reserve
board for It's attitude upon a pos
sfbie reduction by the California
banks rediseount rate from Al
to per cent. 1t wss said today Al
the treasury.

I 70 collect checks from non-mem-
Der banks at par as well as from
member banksg" continued the
Judge
Yes" replied the witness
The fact is that the reserve
bank went on for g long time after
its Organization without attempt
fng TO force non-member banks TO
pay at par. Is It not7" the Judge
asked
Yes" Goodman answered
And then you began = propa-
xanda TO induce them by persua-
sion to pay at par. didn't your
asked the Judge ss he pointed his
finger at the witness The an
swer was in the affirmative.
Denies Annoyance Intent.
Then you proposed to annoy
the rural banks and to put them
10 considerable expense shipping
in money in an effort to force par
clearance, didn't your" questioned
the jurist.
mo, we were merely attempt
ing to collect in cash at par,
Goodman said
You therefore think you were
authorized By law to eoeFce these
bank to pay at par?" the judge
continued.
Il don't like the word coerce.
retorted Goodman. but ! think
we were authorized to collect at
par provided we didn't embarass
the bank"
Didn't you embarass the bank
in this casez" came back the
Judge.
well the result may have been
that, but the intention was not
that" affirmed the banker.
Authority Questioned.
The court then summed up his
opinion in the remark Unless the
reserve bank is authorized by law
10 coerce a non-member bank TO
pay at par. when it is not remit
ting at par. then it is acting with
out authority"
ITO my mind" he continued,
'.the crucial questions in this case
have resolved themselves to the
question as to whether the federal
reserve bank has the authority
under the law to coeree these
small banks to pay cash over the
counter for checks
When attorneys for the reserve
bank objected TO the use Of the
word "coerce," the court answer
ed: "Of course you understand
that there are omre ways Of coer-
cion than by force" and then ask
ed the question: DO you have in
mind the definition OF conspir-
aey?" Reserve bank attorneys
had little to say when the Judge
put that question.
Owing to other matters to
which the Judge must give atten-
tion, further hearings in this case
were postponed until Saturday.

The girls are given a course last.

Husband Should Help.
When a second incident of this
kind occurs. her first thought is
to say nothing to her husband. and
that is where so many mistakes are
made.
Where there are children and a
mistake such as mine has been
made by a woman. believe the
man and wife should stand by each

taught her lesson in most cases.
The man will perhaps then be able

mo woman should trust any other
man than her husband. For only in

unhappily.
Many marriages are mistakes
because either the man or the girl
mistakes sex attraction for real
love. Real love must be made UP Of
mental compatibility and sex at
traction.

theory Of affinities: I believe that
there are certain classes Of women
who are better suited to certain
