.rV,TOR CARTER GLASS charg-
- - the floor Of the Senate that
- amendments to the Branch
p.,tinq Bill. which Wheeler sup
- had back of them a 100000
80, lobby. The big independ-
bsal.s as well as the small cOm-
-. bankers. are opposed to branch
t.,tino because they know they
80 meet such competition. Any
-. corversant with the rise of
brg1cb banking in Australia. Cana
~ and England knows that 1t is as
fooIisb TO try to prevent branch
bsntino as il would be to keep back
,Lo waters Of the Atlantic with a
b,yfork. II IS a necessary step IN
orolution. The Branch banks, be-
.susa they will be more economical
n and scientifically run. will dis
nlace the half-trader. half pawn
broker in bankers clothes. who now
evneriments with the money of the
neople in country banks. The change
viii be better for everybody and
make if that much easier for the
nation to take over the money sys-
tenn when the great awakening
comes.
COOLIDGE has the McNary -Haug-
On bin on his desk after its passage
bv congress. He is doing a lot of
figuring-Or at least his political
advisors areas to what is the best
course for him to pursue. If ne
signs the bill he win weaken his
position with the great manufacture
inc interests Of the east who want
cheap food for their slaves. On the
other hand he would make himself
strong with the agTarian element OF
the south and west and would put
muffler on the political thunder of
his chief rival for the republican
nominatiOn-Frank LOwden. Some
body is doing some hard thinking
for Cal these days. The chances
are that he viii veto both the Nc
Nary-Haugen and the Banking bills
at the same time. In doing so he
thinks he viii make a hit with the
rich and poor. Politics is a great
game.
MCKEE, the well known local agita-
tor and loan shark. received notice
from the Commissioners, to leave
the rear room Of the library on
March lst. 1927. We have the words
Of Commissioner Kahle and French
that he will leave on that day. Com.
missioner IversOn. who bears the
same relationship to Frank French
that a Chinese poodle dog does to q
fat mandarin, will of course, follow
French's lead. But Mckee insists
I'd is his bird dog as we'll al
French's. For that reason some peO
pie seem to think that he will again
wag his tail and run to Mckee whel
the latter Whistles. Ed has the in
ienOrlty complex so well deVelOpet
that he is liable to follow the las
man who rubs him down the spin
with a patrOnizing hand. Franl
French may have to buy dog col
lar and chain yet if he hopes to kee
I'd in line and away from Othe
malnstreeters who may whistle fO
him to do their bidding. But tn
TACT IS that the majority of tn
Board of County Commissioner
have awakened to the fact that
public building should not be use
Tor private purposes; that there
no other instance in their expe
ence where a Library building wa
larmed out to private persons at
nominal rent. The people who Ow
the Library felt the disgrace. The
social pride was injured. They al
ne" Watchfully waiting to see Il
words of the County COMMISSIONS
put INTO action and the building r
stored to the use of the public.
The STATE SENATE showed
ialnt spark of independence la
week when it ordered the bank qua
ahtee bill printed and placed on ge
efal orders despite an adverse Ban
mg Committee report. The mon
0hangers got alarmed and tn
started out to whip the Senators
70 me SO that when the bill was
lot consideration again it was Z
leated. In the old days, MOnta
senator's frequently got together a
leated situations where the big
tefests had to cater to them a
WIN their good will by such extrel
measures as dropping $4,000 pa,
ages OF currency through the trs
sums Of their sleeping rooms. No
aua!s the Senators are lined uD w
