Consistency 10 a jewel more than usually rare IN
the comments on the recent action OF the Federal Re-
serve board in ordering the Chicago Reserve bank TO
reduce its rediscount rate.
The Chicago bankers who are reputed 10 be head
ing the revolt" against the Federal Reserve board
are. IL my memory serves me, the same bankers VIII
opposed the passage Of the Federal Reserve act and
even went so far as to threaten that they would no.
join the Federal Reserve system. but would change
over and operate under state banking laws because Of
the very fact that the Federal Reserve act did not pro-
vide . sufficiently centralized control.
A tempest in q teapot has been brewed over one
reduction Of L-2 Of l per cent in one rediscount rate,
whereas during its entire life the Federal Reserve
board has probably passed on several hundred appli-
thermore. the open market investment activity Of the
Federal Reserve banks has been totally ignored in the
general discussion. This is q much more potent in
count rate. yet the Federal Reserve board, through the
open market investment committee. exercises plenary
control over all Of these open market operations.
There is a new principle which Is asserting itself
in the realm Of monetary science-the principle that
money should have q staple purchasing power year in
and year out. decade in and decade out, Just as the
yard must have q stable length and the gallon q stable
volume. This can be done. The bill which / intro

Washington Letter
BY CHARLES r. STEWART

WASHINGTON, Oct. l1.-States'
Rights-Demoeratic doctrine-begin
% look like seating two republicans
William S. Ware of Pennsylvania and
frank L. Smith Of Illinois-in the
United States senate in December.
A few months ago the prospects
we're overwhelmingly the other way.
III Ware and Smith get in, they'll
stay in.
They can be excluded by q bare
majority vote, which appeared TO be
4 certainty until recently. They can
be expelled only by a two-thirds ma
yority vote, which nobody has con-
sidered a possibility any Of the time.
Wares and Smiths right to be
seated at all was questioned on the
ground that they spent too much
money, not to be elected, but on their
prediction, primary campaigns-to
be nominated, in the first place. This
will be recalled as the subject that
Senator Jim Reeds slush fund COM
mittee poked into so extensively.
The opposing argument was that
such preliminaries were nobodys
business but Wares and Smiths own
states'-that the senate was limited
10 making sure they were regularly
elected, on the face Of the returns,
about which there wasn't any doubt.
II was a good, sound States Rights
talk.
C~uriously enough-that is, IL would
have been curious il politicians cared
a boot for prineiples-the rival par
ties didn't line up on the proposition
according to Hoyle.
The republican senators, taking the
States Rights side, were for seating
Ware and Smith-because they need
ed thir votes.
Nearly all the democratic senator's,
chucking States Rights into the dis
card, were for excluding them-with
n view to cunning the republicans
cards.
The Progressive senators, being
ag'in' the guv'ment, were with the
democrats-on that issue. anyway.
There will be in the next senate:
Forty straight or nearly straight re-
p~ublicans. not counting Ware and
Smith, who can't vote on seating
themselves; forty-seven democrats;
six progressives and a farmer-la-
lorite. which means substantially the
same thing.
Forty to fifty-four!
Senator Blease, however, was an
exception among the democrats. He
stood pat for States Rights and said
he'd vote to seat Ware and Smith. II
was reckoned he might have two OF
II rec democratic followers. Still
with fourteen votes to jigger with
1t looked pretty bilious for Ware
and Smith.
Such was the landscape six or eight
months ago.

Better than Soda

Instead Of soda hereafter take a
little "Phillips Milk Of Magnesia"
in water any time for indigestion or
sour, acid, gassy stomach, and relief

For fifty years genuine ~Phillips

scribed by physicians because it
overcomes three times as much acid
in the stomach as a saturated solu-
ton Of b~icarbonate Of soda, leaving
the stomach sweet and free from al

Since then the scene has changed.
States Rights didn't look like
much of an issue when Gov. Richie
Of Maryland, campaigning for the
democratic presidential nomination,
took IL up awhile back. II looked too
academic-no popular appeal.
Most unexpectcd-to most demo-
cratic politicians-it's turned out to
be a cracking good issue. Other
democrats have jumped into the sit
uation and are struggling to take it
away from Richie. They're scrap
ping for it, each trying to out-yell
the other, about what q dandy States
RICHTER he is.
Well, a loyal Safes Rights demo-
cratic senator can't very well oppose
seating Ware and Smith.
Fourteen votes can melt like
spring snow in that kind Of a sun.

Sound Advice to Students

More than ever are the youth Of the present day
imbued with the idea that ~the world owes everyone q
living" was the comment of q noted educator in dis
GUESSING present educational methods and the almost un-
limited facilities offered the boys and girls Of the pres
ent generation to secure an education. He took the
view that students are not appreciative Of the efforts
made in their behalf; that these efforts are miscon-
strued and youth imbued with the idea that Il Is the
duty of society TO provide for him an easy path through
lif,.
Andrew T. Dice. president OF the Reading Rail-
road, speaking at the recent dedication OF Readings
new ~sl,50o,00O coeducational high school. declared that
the spirit Of service which guided the founders Of the
United States was needed by the youth Of this genera
tion.
at appears to me that the spirit Of our forefathers
Il needed today in renewed vigor," he said. "The
ever-prrsent thought Of this generation Is how much
can I get out Of life?' rather than how much can /
put into itT
II am not here TO speak against the very laudable
attempt TO make money. but l speak warning to those
who look at business alone rs the vehicle Of fortune.
] would that the youth Of today would cast aside the
temporary yearning for money for one Of service.
Business today Is not looking for young men and
women who want advancement; business today is look
ing for young men and women 10 whom advancement
must come, and shall come freely, because they labor
with intelligence and earnestness and are DESTROYS as
well as capable Of bearing the loads Of responsibility.
Show me the successful man today and I will show you
the man who has not hurried over his job, who has
had no time to look at the clock, who takes little
thought for advancement"
There is q wealth Of sound sense in the statement
of Mr.. Dice. When the youth Of this generation leaves
school and enters upon the real work Of life he must be
prepared 10 render service, intelligently, unselfishly.
Unless he is so prepared he cannot hope 70 succeed
notwithstanding the fact that he is far better equip
ped edueationally than those Of the older generation
who won their way to the top Of the ladder through
their energy perseverance, and determination to serve.
