) J N E hU M A N SAYS TOURISTS CROWD ENGLAND
William Wakeman Fin d S but Few Changes in
 Old Country

What most impressed William Wakeman, of the Alaska Meat Company. on his first visit to England since leaving 36 years ago were the unchanged physical as- poets of the country and the null titude Of tourists he saw there. He has just returned to Juneau from a visit to his native land, which lasted from early in June until late in August He spent virtually all the time at his boyhood home in Devonshire.
 "The cities, towns and country sides appeared to have undergone no alterations. Building improve ments were scarcely noticeable and populations seemed to be about the same. This condition surprised me, possibly because I have been accustomed to hearing about or witnessing the rapid growth of com munities in the States and in Canada. In England, the dwelling houses and business places fam- iliar to me in my youth have not changed in the least and all but a few of them are. occupied by the families and firms, that knew as a boy. Customs, too, for the most part, are the same now as form erly.
 MuItitudes of Tourists
 But there is one new and as founding phase of conditions-traf- fic. England looks like world on yheels-bicycles, automobiles and trains. There are multitudes of tourists, mostly from America, in every direction. Ships from for eign parts were continually pour ing visitors ashore. I was a pas senger one one Of nine London bound trains that left Southamp- ten hst after I had disembarked there.
 when I decided to return here, I tried without success to book massage on a steamship leaving Southampton August 25. l was lucky to get ticket on one de- narting August 3l. In coming home, my boat, the Scotland, called at Cherbourg and in the harbor at the time were the six largest pas senger steamships afloat, all filled to capacity. Except for the brief stop at Cherbourg, was not on the continent at all.

of the dominating forces in the up- building of the Episcopal Church in the Middle West. He consoli- dated and unified the efforts of the predecessors and welded his diocese into one of the strongholds of the American Church. Under his ad- ministration, the ranks of the cler- gy in his diocese were doubled and membership in it's churches quad rupled.
 Outstanding among the achieve ments of Bishop Leonard aside from his church work, were his success ful efforts to establish Kenyon College at Gambler, Ohio, as one of the leaders of secondary institutions of the country and his promotion of Bexley Hall the divinity school attached to Kenyon College. Trim ity Cathedral, Cleveland, likewise was a monument to Bishop Leon ards leadership. His services to the general church, in addition to his membership in the House of Bishops, included the administration for. several years of the American churches in Europe.
 Father Was Banker
 A native of Southport, Conn, where he was born July 5. 1848, Bishop Leonard was the son of William Boardman Leonard and Louisa Dimon (Bulkley) Leonard. His father was prominent banker at Brooklyn, N Y From early childhood it was the sons desire to follow church career Preparation for that was temporarily inter lupted at the outbreak of the Civil War. William, although under the enlistment age. joined the Union army, and it was with difficulty that his father obtained his dis charge.
 The future bishop attended Phil ips Academy at Andover, Mass, St. Stephens College at Annandale, New York, and the Berkley Divinity School at Middletown, Conn. Grad uated from the latter in 1871, he was ordained a deacon and the next year priest.
 After nearly two decades in church work in Brooklyn and Wash ington, he was elected assistant bishop of the Northern Ohio diocese and was consecrated at St. Thomas

BY JOHN F. SINCLAIR.


Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, January 23.-Joseph s.
Lawrence, author of wall Street and
Washington" has made some interest
ing comments regarding the Federal
Reserve system. He says the gross
earnings Of the IL banks, since the
formation of the Federal Reserve is
years ago, are slightly in excess of
5000, 100000.
Out Of every dollar Of gross earn
,ings 42.3 cents are used in the con-
duct of the bank, 31,6 cents pass into
surplus, 1871 cents are paid to the
United States Government and 10 cents
so to the sole owners, the member
banks.
"At the end of 1928" says Mr.. Law
renee, 1.-The surplus of the Federal Re-
serve banks amounted to 100 per cent
Of the paid-in capital. BY the end of
1929 this had been raised to 1872 per
cent. Net earnings for the past year
amounted to $50, 403, 900, or 22.9 per
cent on the average paid-in capital.
Again this sum was divided, as fol-
lows: $9,584 900 as dividends to men,
Der banks, $4,2S3, 230 as franchise tax
to the Treasury and $22,536,o00 to the
surplus account"
from the Reserve system continues,
causing much anxiety Only so per
cent of the total deposits of the coun-
try are part Of the Federal Reserve
system. Why?
/. Many banks oppose the Federal
Reserve policy Of paying no interest
on member bank balances, on paying
only per cent annually on stock owned
in Federal Reserve banks, and in wiping
out all collection charges on out-of-
town checks and drafts.
banking charters are more liberal
progressive and flexible than national
charters.
3. Many feel, too, that the growing
power Of the Federal Reserve system
Is not a healthy condition for either
banking or business.
These opinions, while not held by
q majority of bankers, have consid-
cradle national support.

Chambers Of Commerce in scores Of
cities are surveying private building re-
quirements to determine the extent OF
new building operations which may be
undertaken prudently."
That tells the story Of the national
committees work in an effective and
comprehensive way.
The acid test of prudence In public
expenditure in the field Of capital ex-
penditure falls under three heads:
lis a particular project necessary?
2-Is its probable cost reasonable and
within the capacity Of the taxpayer?
SIS the proposed plan Of financing
sound?
These are the ones laid down by the
finance department of the National
Chamber Of Commerce Of the United
States.
mo condition ever justifies useless,
wasteful or untimely public expendi-
ture,' says Secretary Of Commerce
Robert P. Lamont. Present economic
conditions justify an effort on the part
of every community to proceed prompt
ly with the construction of all desirable
and timely public improvements that
may be helpful in the absorption OF any
unemployment and assist in the stabilt-
zatton Of wages"
The wide publicity given to the plans
and construction programs Of the differ
ent Federal and State governments by
the Hoover inquiry Immediately after the
stock market crash would lead some to
feel that an orgy of extravagant spend
ing might result. Such Is not the case.
1t would be travesty on the prudence
and thrift of the Nation to use the
statements made in good faith at that
conference as a license for extravagant
and WaSfafiIl axnnn6itlIrag
Many construction improvements are
needed in many places today, and have
been needed for some time. Such CAPT.
| tai expenditures should therefore be
made, taking into consideration the
three conditions Of the acid test sug-
gested herewith.
1t will be difficult for the Nation To
go far wrong under such a program.
Another ruling Of the United States
Supreme Court has clipped the wings
of the Federal Trade Commission's
| jurisdiction under the Clayton anti
trust act. It was in finding that the
purchasing by one shoe company of the
stock of another, when less than pei
cent of the business Of both is obtained
in competition with each other, doe:
not substantially lessen competition.
This really is a reverse ruling of thu
| Federal Trade Commission, which di.
rected the International Shoe Co. to d.
vest itself of the stock of the w. H
McElwain company on the ground thai
it was a violation Of the Clayton anti.
| trust act.
1t developed at the hearing that the
International sells to a country trade
while the other company handles city
trade.
In this connection the court held thai
the purchase of the stock of q failing
| company, whether or not q competitor
Is not prejudicial to the public and doe
not substantially lessen competition
within the meaning and the terms o.
the Clayton act.

NEW YORK, January % (F).-Cotton

to points with active months selling
about 2 to Q points net higher during

and covering. The later may have been
promoted by the report of the Census
Buy ~ showing l4,1S7,77e bales ginned
prior TO January Is, compared with
l3,SSS,972 to the same date last year.
These figures were about In line with
expectations, however, and while they
attracted some hullish comment In con-
nection with recent unfavorable weather
for saving cotton left in the field, they
evidently failed to stimulate any general
buying.
Very little Southern selling was in
evidence but there was some selling
here against purchases In New Orleans
and Liverpool apparently, and after the
advance to 17.47 for March, prices re-
acted under liquidation. The market
was only moderately active with prices
showing net declines Of about 2 to 4
points at the end Of the first half hour.
