former metropolis and Frisco, now free
to member banks
Since the enactment of the Federal
Reserve law the reserves Of the re-
gional banks have never been danger
ously low. Many Of the larger banks
look upon rediscounting as If it were
borrowing and they have never made
use Of the facilities offered, while others
have occasionally gone the limit. Re-
serve banks are careful not to give too
much leeway to any member bank, in
siSting that there shall always be am
pie securities, bonds or commercial Pr
per to the credit OF the member bank
before being given consideration.
The law requires members to carry
10 per cent of their demand deposits
and per cent of their time deposits
with their regional bank and on this
large sum of money, assets Of the re-
gional, the actual owners receive nc
interest whatever. This has been an
other strong objection of bankers to
the system, but all in all 1t has worked
such wonders that 1t would be consid-
cred in the nature of downright foolish
ness to make radical amendments
These reserves to the credit OF the
member banks are constantly changing
with the increase or reduction In de-
posts OF the various banks.
Says Charges Are True.
George J. Seay, governor Of the Rich
mond Federal Reserve Bank, In a sign
ed statement, upheld the action Of
the Federal Reserve Board in its re.
cent PRONUNCIATION against the advance.
ment of money by the banks to Wal
Street. He stated that the movement
had greatly reduced available funds ir
the Federal Reserve Banks and there.
fore restricted loans IN the interest Of
legitimate business.
There are those who argue that tn:
Federal Reserve Board should not havt
taken the action 1t did. but whether o.
not, it is plain to be seen that TIT
threat was not without its effect.
Speculation does not thrive on thu
steady or even on a down-grade mar.
ket, but requires long-continued ad.
Spectators want action. Inactior
makes for nervousness and quite otter
liquidation of accounts.
Express Companies Losers.
Naturally the express companies ant
the insurance underwriters were. the
losers, the former very heavily by the
improved method of exchange, using
the revolving gold fund, but the latter
interests have not suffered as severely
as the former. Insurance companies
have such enormous sums of cash con-
stantiy accommodating that they are
positive competitors with banks fol
business.
Competition from this source Il
coupled with the large cash resources

that there will be no loss by hold-ups,
or loss of interest through the fact that
money In transit Is not available for

caps, more or less important.
Each enc Of the IL regional banks

metal changing many times during the
course of month, with each operation
a simple question Of ledger entries,
without the actual shipment of an
ounce Of the yellow mass.
The Methods Used.
II a local national bank wishes to
send 100000 to the Bank of Italy,
San Francisco, the first procedure
would be for the bank to increase its
reserves with the Richmond Federal
Reserve Bank so that it had surplus
credit of million with that insti-
tuition.
Then notice would be given through
the Federal Reserve Board of intent of
the local bank to transmit 81 100000 to
the credit of the Frisco institution.
The clerical work necessary would be
simply to transfer million of the re-
volving gold fund from the ownership
OF the Richmond bank to the owner
ship Of the San Francisco regional re-
serve bank, which simple operation,
wired by the Reserve Board over leased
wires free Of charge to the banks them
slves. would complete the debit and
credit operations necessary, with credit
to the Bank of Italy and a counter
charge to the reserve of the local in
stitution.
It is an instantaneous operation, 1t
obviates at once all the hazards Of the
old system and costs but few cents
where the old way cost many dollars.
Formerly it cost as high as $50 thou
sand dollars to ship cash between New
York and Chicago, showing what an
enormous expense would attend the
shipment of q million between the

In q general way the public under
stands that the Federal Reserve system
operates to control credit; at least that
its action In advancing rediscount
rates at time when hundreds of banks
were extended to the limit with what
developed as frozen" assets and again
quite recently when threats were suf-
ficiently important to start liquidation
on Wall Street, where everybody, near
ly everybody, had speculative accounts
on the long side of the market.
It is also a matter of common knowl-
edge that the system offers rediscount-
ing privileges to member banks, that
the latter are required to carry their
legal reserves with the regional Reserve
bank of which they are members and
that 1t Is a par check collection agency
for Its clientele. This latter function
cut deeply into the profits OF many
Southern banks who have counted on
their exchange returns.
It was never intended that the Re-
serve system should be a competitor OF
banks, but when there is little redis-
counting or borrowing by member
banks the Reserve system must have
income from some operation and the
regionals have gone into the open mar
ket and bought large amounts OF the
choicest paper.
There are numerous other functions
Of the system available to banks therein
and to non-member banks through
their correspondents that are members
and none more important than the re-
volving gold fund.
The system had been in operation
less than year when, in 1915, the Fed
eral Reserve Board put this fund into
operation.
The Revolving Gold Fund.
It has been a most successful prop
oSition and has removed from the oper-
alton of transferring large sums of cash

other every handicap, every delay, in

covery from the stroke which he suf-
fered year ago.
When Ware and Mackey fell out,
backing different states this Summer
for municipal Offices. 1t looked as though
the so-called reform groups might have
an opportunity to seize control. Possi-
bly,, however. the reform elements have
determined to await better day. It
will not advance their interests to rave
Mackey elevated to power as the new
boss Of the Republican machine Of
Philadelphia. They may argue that it
is wiser to have Ware hold on, and when
the Senate gives him the coup de
grace" as 1t has been expected to do,
then make a bid for control.
The recent decision of the Senate
not to consider the Ware case at this
time, but to give the tariff bill the
right of way and postpone Mr.. Wares
ousting from the Senate, II it is to
come, until December, has had its eff
feet on the local political situation In
Philadelphia. 1t has given the veteran
leader a breathing spell, an opportunity
to center his efforts on controlling the
Philadelphia situation. Indeed. In Phil
adelphia the vote in the Senate is
quoted as a Ware victory there, which
it is not, being merely postponement
of the day of final reckoning. Had Mr..
Ware been hailed before the Senate now
and the decision been adverse to him,
the effect doubtless would have been
unfavorable to his leadership in the
City Of Brotherly Love.

Where Were Theyf

Where were the friends of animals
when a cat was permitted to remain
for days meowing for help" from
lofty ledge on the new home Of the
British embassy on Massachusetts, ave-
nue.?
WHY was 1t that workmen who built
the ledge could not reach 1t to rescue
starving animal?
These are questions which those In
terested in humane education are asking
themselves.
The cat climbed to the ledge with
that inquisitiveness which is inherent
in 1t. Being unable to get back the
way 1t went up, it looked about for hui
man friends to help it.
Those friends failed.
The thought of that spectacle OF a
slowly starving creature in q civilized
community, and of its final collapse
through hunger, weakness and fright,
and death on the earth beneath, is not
pleasing to those who believe in better
world.
A cat, to many, is just cat; TO 9TH
ers it is something dignified with the
precious gift of life the same as any
living thing. The fire department has
been called in similar rescue work, and
well might have been called in. this
case.
The cat paid with her life for her cu-
riosity; it is to be hoped that other cats.
under similar circumstances, may be
saved, not only for their own sakes, but
for the sake Of the savers.

Philadelphia Leadership.

!, The jockeying for Republican leader
ship in Philadelphia goes merrily on.
1t has been evident ever since the at
tack on the nomination and election to
the Senate Of william s. ware, the city
boss, and more particularly since MIR.
Wares serious illness of last year. With
the municipal elections at hand, Harry
Mackey, the present mayor and the
manager of the Ware campaign for the
Senate in 1926, is backing one slate for
the Republican nominations and Mr..
Ware Is backing another. To make the
muddle still greater, former Mayor j.
Hampton Moore, who has been the
sworn foe of Ware In the past, is attack
ing the slate backed by Mayor Mackey.
Politics, indeed, makes strange bed
fellows.
No one shouts louder than the poll
ticians the old royalist tribute to new
leadership: 1.-THE King IS dead: long
live the KingI" The factions in Phila-
delphia and the lesser leaders have
been seeking the possible successor to
Ware ever since his discontinue in the
Senate and his illness. But the old boss
has held his grip. This is true largely
because none of the aspirants for lead
ership has been sufficiently strong to
wrest the prize from him. Some Of
them have bided their time. believing
that Mr.. Wares sun had set. But he
stili holds On. and. u reports are tue,
he has made "A almost zsiraeuieus 10
