BANKERS URGE
CHARTERBILL
By RICHARD HATTON


Emphasis on the desirability of
the indeterminate charter OF the
Federal Reserve Banks, to be put
in force by the most practicable
Congressional procedure, is ex-
pressed by oscar Wells, president
OF the American Bankers AsSocia-
ton, in a statement issued today.
He pointed out that the associa-
ton is on record through general
convention resolutions as believing
that the recharter matter could best
be handled distinct from all other
legislation, but added that bankers
would nevertheless be satisfied II
a practical way were found to COM
bine it with the more general Nc
Fadden banking bill, with the HUI
branch making amendments now
before Congress. without jeopardiz-
Ing either measure.
The American Bankers Associa-
ton has spoken in convention on
the two leading subjects under con-
sideration in the important bank
legislation now before Congress,
Wells said
''These subjects are the branch
bank provisions of the McF:adden
bill and the matter of recharterlng
the Federal Reserve banks. AT the
convention in Chicago in 1924 the
convention, without a dissenting
vote, went on record in favor of
the McFadden bill with the Hull
amendments, which is substantially
the bill as it passed the House
recently.
eat the Atlantic City conven-
ton in 1925 the association con-
sidered the renewing of charters

and adopted a strong resolution
favoring early consideration Of 1.-The
subject by Congress. The asso-
citation keenly approves Of both
the extension of the Federal Re
serve charters and the branch
bank legislation as embodied in the
McFadden bill with the Hull amend
ments. It has opposed coupling
the two measures together only for
fear that obstruction of one might
impede the progress OF the other.
The amount of ordinary life in
surance purchased in the United
States in March is well ahead Of
the corresponding month last year,
according to figures just issued by

PUBLIC SEEN AS GOAT"

That the public has been given the
role of the "goat' in rail Labor dis
putes, as result of the recent pas
sage by congress of the Watson
Parker bill, is alraedy evident, ac-
cording to the view of the Farm
Bureau. The Farm Bureau vigor-
ously opposed this bill which abol-
ished the Railroad Labor Board for
the settlement of disputes. It was
opposed because the public was given
no right nor means to intervene, but
all disputes are left to the roads and
their workers to settle between them
selves. A nationwide movement for
per cent increase in rail labor
wages has already begun with no
apparent reason why the demand will
not be won, since the railroads do not
care particularly what wages they pay
their men so long as they are per-
mitted to pass the burden on to the
farmers, and other shippers in the

Study Of all Road Rules by
Travellers Is Safety Plea
Obeying One Paragraph in State Law
Would Prevent Hundreds of
Accidents Each Year

With the usual summer increase in
Sunday and holiday auto accidents, a
plea for a study of the Minnesota
traffic laws is made in this week s
bulletin of the State Highway depart
ment. The department is co-operat-
ing in the safety campaign which is
being, conducted throughout the
United States.
One paragraph in the Minnesota
law covers the whole safety problem.
1t says:
"No person shall operate or hals
any vehicle upon any highway so as
to interfere with other traffic there
on, or so as to jeopardize or endang-
er life, limb, or property; and no
person shall drive motor vehicle up
on any highway at a greater speed
than is reasonable and proper, hav-
ing regard to the traffic and the use
of the highway"
Driving faster than fifteen miles an
hour in congested municipal districts,
20 in residence districts and 35 else
where, is declared prima facie evil
dence that the speed is unreasonable
and improper.
There are some specific rules which
it may be we'll to repeat. Under the
law motorists must:
Signal left turns.
Stop after all accidents.

Minnesota up to June 1, over the
number registered in the same per-
iod last year, brought an increase Of
only $27,485 in the revenues from
the trunk highway fund. This is due
to the reduction in the tax rate on
passenger cars and on some classes
of trucks. Had the old rate prevailed,
the increase in trunk highway funds
would have been about 100000.
The total receipts from Jan. / to
June 1 were $9,015,769 and the num-
Der of cars registered 565,719. The
receipts for the same months in 1925
We're $8,744,274 and the registrations
512,844.
The number Of cars registered in
five months almost equals the regis
trations for the whole year of 1925
The number then was 569,694. The
taxes collected in 1925 for the trunk
highway fund were $9,744,834.
