BRANCHES DENIED
NATIONAL BANKS
Dawes Explains Decision cf
Daugherty on Spread of
Establishments.

National banks are forbidden by law
from engaging in branch banking
business, even within the cities in
which they are located. Attorney
General Daugherty holds in an
opinion explained today to the joint
congressional banking commission by
Controller of the Currency Henry NJ
Dawes.
Such banks may, however, extend
facilities for receiving deposits and
cashing checks within the limits of
the city. Controller Dawes referred
to these facilities as "tellers' win
dows," and intimated rnat no other
functions would be allowed, such as
making loans or purchasing securities
at these windows. The controller told
the committee, however, that ma
tional banks could not properly be
permitted to establish these outside
facilities in any city or locality where
state laws or practices prohibit state
banks from rendering similar serv-
ices.
Mr.. Dawes declared that authorize
tion to national banks to establish
additional offices within the cities of
their location would be of great ad-
vantage In certain localities where
state banks already are extending
their services in this manner.
Given Fair Chance.
In such cities as New York, CIeye-
land and Detroit and in the state
of California" he said, "the national
banks will be able to reach their
customers in the matter of making
deposits and cashing checks in the
same way that their competito do
in this single important aspect of
the banking business. At the pres
ent time in Cleveland there are only
three national banks. and only a like
number in Detroit. This will enable
the national banking system to really
enter these two great cities from
which they previously had been ex-
cluded, perhaps not on equal terms,
but, at least, on a living basis"
Controller Dawes expressed the
system could not use the federal re-
serve system as an instrumentality
for it's extension it probably would
never become great menace In
that. with the national banks ex-
tending a reasonable measure of
facilities for self-protection within
the limits of the municipalities in
which they operate, the national bank
ing and the federal reserve systems
could be maintained in their present
status.
Mr.. Dawes told the commission
that he should like to have drawn
from his arguments three general
conclusions:
First, that the development of
branch banking, unless curbed, will
mean the destruction of the national
bank. and thereby the destruction of
the Federal Reserve System, and the
substitution of privately controlled
reserve system or government sss-
tenn of coordination.
Second, that il the Federal Re-
serve Board has not the power to re-
fuse the admission of institutions en-
gagged in general branch banking and
to curb the further extension of this
principle by member banks, they
should be given the power.
Third. that the abolition of the Of
fee of controller of the currency
would destroy the independent status
of the national banking system and
government finance"

The plan OF the administration
contemplates that upon organization
of these cooperative associations
funds which will enable them to
market the present wheat crop in
an orderly manner will be provided

Congress.
The itinerary of Mr.. Meyer and
his party had not been worked out

House that visits would be made TO
Minnesota, the Dakotas and the other

TROUBLE DUE TO MARKET.
Lack of Orderly Selling Blamed
in Wheat Belt.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Specifically, President Coolidge
hopes the wheat farmers of the west
will be encouraged to form Coop
erative corporations similar to those
which have been so successful in
the marketing of cotton, rice. tobacco
and other products in order to re-
lieye the present trying situation.
The greatest weakness in the sttu-
alton from the viewpoint of the fed
eral government is the lack of an
orderly marketing system in the
wheat belt Very few co-operatives
have been formed.
There is grave doubt among the
most competent authorities here that

"Senor Stewart, he keel my va

raignment of the cowboy. Him you
must arrest! Senior Stewart a bad
man! He keel my vaquerols'
DO you hear thet?" yelled Have
"The Don's got you figgered fer tibet

The clamor burst into roar. Have
began shaking his finger in Stewards
face and hoarsely shouting. Then
1.-THE young vaquero swift as an In
dian, glided under Hawe's uplifted
arm. Whatever the action he intended,
he was too late for it's execution.
Stewart lunged out, struck the va
Quero, and knocked him off the porch.
AS he fell dagger glittered In the
sunlight and relied climbing over the
stones. The man went down hard and
did not move. With the same abrupt
violence, and q manner of contempt,
Stewart threw Have off the porch,
then Don Carlos, who, being less sup
pie, fell heavily. Then the mob backed
before Stewards rush until all were
down In the courtyard.
The shutting of feet ceased, the
elanking of spurs, and the shouting.
Nels and Monty, now REINFORCED by
Nick Steele, were as shadows of Stew
art, so closely did they follow him.
Stewart waved them back and stepped
down into the yard. He was absolute
ly fearless; but what struck Madeline
so keenly was his magnificent disdain.
Manifestly, he knew the nature of the
men with whom he was dealing. From
the look of him it was natural for
Madeline to expect them to give way
before him, which they did, even Have
and his attendants sullenly retreating.
Don Carlos got up to confront Stew
art. The PROSTATE vaquero stirred
and moaned, but did not rise.
"You needn't jibber Spanish to me-"
said Stewart. "You can talk Ameri-
can, and you can understand Ameri-
