Branch Banks

Some OF the large national banks o
the United States have been adding
branch institutions at a rate OF speed
that indicates that they are alarmed
lest few stray dollars would escape
them According to an opinion rem
dered by Attorney General Daugherty
to Controller of the Currency Dawes
the National Bank act does not permit
national banks to establish branches
in which all forms OF banking may
be conducted. The fact that branch
banks of this kind have been establish
ed and have long been in operation in
many large cities does not seem to
enter into Attorney Generals opinion
that 1T can't be done" He may have
intended to match the case wherein
the lawyer told his imprisoned client
that they can't put you in JAIL and
the unfortunate mans response that
they've got me here already"
The National City Bank OF New
York, the largest institution of its kind
in the country, maintains three branch
banks outside of Wall Street, and its
president predicts that many national
banks will withdraw from the field and
become state banks if the opinion of
the Attorney General is upheld in the
courts. The Riggs National Bank of
Washington, ID. C., took the precau-
ton to consolidate several small banks
and then merge them into the parent
concern as branch institutions; and the
president of the Riggs says that
branch banks obtained and created in
this way are not affected by the de-
cision OF the Attorney General. Hav-
ing used such careful precautions the
Riggs officials are now we'll pleased
with themselves. and they feel that
their string OF financial temples are
immune from Federal interference.
The two illustrations are typical cases
that exist in great many large cities.
At the present time there are only
three national banks in Cleveland.
three in Detroit, and similar scarcity
in several other cities. In such cities
as these the banking interests have
conducted their business under the
state laws. In some states branch
banks are prohibited undeh the state
laws, and the legal authorities of the
Federal government admit that where
such a barrier is imposed under state
laws that it bars branch national banks
even though there were no provisions
covering the matter in the National
Banking act.
Teller's Windows
Under the Attorney Generals opir-
ion covering branch national banks it
is admitted that national banks may
maintain officer in separate parts of
the city in which they do business for
the purpose of receiving deposits and
cashing checks, but other functions
such as making loans or purchasing
securities are not permissible. This is

American Education Week

Four OF the seven days included in
American Education Week to be held
throughout the country. according to
a proclamation OF President Coolidge,
are to be devoted to a phase of our
national life that has been consider
ably neglected since the war. The big
idea is to impress upon old and new
American stock the importance of
understanding the basic principles OF
our Government as defined in the con-
stitution, and in rallying the Ameri
can spirit by an appeal to patriotism
as exemplified in the lives of the Ma
tons great men and women. Plans
for reducing illiteracy through practi-
cal, inoffensive methods of reaching
the foreign-born and bringing them
into closed relations TO their adopted
country have all been carefully work
ed out in the programs outlined by the
United States Bureau of Education.
The Community idea" is also given
a place in the program and physical
education" has day OF its own. 1t
is anticipated that the American peo-
pie will respond to this new method of
looking after the welfare of their in
situations and their customs.

The Controller of the Currency has
advised the joint congressional bank
ing committee that in his opinion the
development OF the branch banking
business is a menace to national banks.
and that if not curbed in its growth it
will destroy the Federal Reserve Sys-
TEN. He even goes so far as TO pro-
phesy the substitution of a privately
controlled reserve system or a govern
ment system of coordination. Con-
troller Dawes told the Senators and
Representatives that the Federal Re-
serve Board should be clother with
undisputed power TO refuse the ad-
mission of institutions engaged in
general branch banking and to stop
the extension of this principle in
every possible way, in order to uphold
aud preserve the existing national
banking system In his opinion every
thing should be done by the Govern
ment that will help to maintain the
independent status OF the national
banking system and government fin
ance. He made it plain that he was
pessimistic over the tenden-
cy to turn the banking business over
to organizations that are seeking to
and consolidate the banking

(ConcIuded from yesterdoys Avi8.)

(ConclNded from yesterdays Avi8.)
Wrapped up 10 this work Of relief is
something that may well prove to be Of
greater significance even than the saw
ing Of physical life. For the bows and
girls who are to.day our wards in those
Orphanages are a part the Near East
of the coming generation, perhaps the
decisive part so far AS the higher life
Of this chaotic area of the world is con
cerned.
TO train so, 200 children under the
influence of devoted Christian workers
and then to send these young people
back into the towns and cities with that
Spirit OF service to the Near East that
was responsible for their salvation, is to
do the greatest thing imaginable in the
building of a new Near East. The work
Sof the Near East Relief is, in the widest
sense OF the word, a great missionary
enterprise, a mighty re. enforcement of
the noble task begun decades ago by the
mission boards and by agencies like
Robert College, the University at Bel
rut and the C~onStantinopIe College for
Women.
LAS one who has been here in the
Near East clearly sees, the work begun
by the Near East Relief as an emergen-
cy measure must be carried on for sew
eral years. To drop it now would be to
knock the props from under the struc-
ture in the rearing. The work will. of
course, be gradually reduced. The feed
,ng of 25, 900 refugees, which has been
such a strain upon the organization
during the past year, is at last at the
point where it can be discontinued. AS

Reinu SeIf-Centered.

Nothing is more wearing or a more
fruitful source of unhappiness In the
long run than to be self-centered. If
our thoughts and plans, our hopes and
fears, our ideals and ambitions all
center in our own personal comfort
and happiness, there must come many
a day of infinite WEAKNESS and self
disgust when life does not seem worth
living. Poverty OIL riches have very
little to do with 1t. You will find just
as many well-to-do people as poor, for
whom life has lost its spice and en-
thusiasm. 1t is not a question Of capt.
tai, but of character.

Firpo Declares He Will
 Certainly Box Weinert

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 4.-Definite- an- nouncement was made here today from the training camp of Luis Angel Firpo, Argentine fighter, here for a 10-round decision bout tonight with Homer Smith of Kalamazoo, Mich, that he would meet Charlie Weinert in Philadelphia, Aug. IS. Firpo said he had posted 5000 in forfeit money to assure his appearance in Philadel- ,phia on that day in compliance with a contract. The statement was made, it was said, in view of reports circu- lated in New York, casting some doubt as to whether the bout would be held.
