agree with DR.. Taylor that the
most satisfactory viewpoint lies
between these two extremes.
1t was the belief of Henry C.
Wallace, late secretary of agricul-
ture, that the agricultural poll
cies of the nation were being
shaped too largely from the city
point of view, without a due re-
gard for the welfare of the far
mer, and that the farmers would
have to assert themselves before
this tendency were carried out too
far or they would be submerged
That the farmers are awakening
to this situation is shown by The

being made in the corn belt to-
day. Elsewhere in this issue Of
The Montana Farmer appears a
story of the memorable meeting
at Des Moines when the delegates
from a dozen states told congress
in no uncertain terms what the
tanners are after. Agriculture
asks simply a place of equality in
in the American protective sys-
tem-nothing more and nothing
less.

town crossed by the trail farther
west was incorrect.
Mr.. Cusker believes the boys
crossed by the. east trail on THEN
last trip to town, and that the
blowout did not happen until
after they had passed. He be-
lieves they had no intimation of
the danger until they saw it
yawning before them, and that
they then tried to turn aside. The
position of the car when located
indicated, MI. Cusker thinks, that
it skidded into the opening side
wise.

1t is argued that the laws are

Wants National and State Banks on Par

There has been pending in
Congress for nearly three years
banking legislation to clarity the
national bank act and reasonably
to increase the power of the
national banks believe that
within the limitation OF sound
banking principles Cong Eess
should now and for the future
place the national banks uDon
a fair equality with their com.
petitors. the State banks. and
trust that means may be found
so that the differences on branch
banking legislation between the
Senate and the House Of Repre-
sentatives may be settled along
sound lines and the legislation
promptly enacted.
1t would be difficult to overestt-
mate the service which the Fed
eral reserve system has already
rendered to the country. 1t is
necessary only to recall the cha
otto condition of our banking or
ganization at the time the Federal
reserve system was put into OPP
Grafton. The old system consisted
Of a vast number of independent
banking units. with scattered bank
reserves which never could be mo
bilized in times Of greatest need.
In spite OF vast banking resources,
there was no coordinat ion of re-
serves or any credit elasticity. AS
