Cheap money undoubtedly has been a factor in recent stock trends. In other words, it costs less to bor- TOW money with which to gamble.
 This view is not held by eco- nomists connected with the Federal Reserve Board, although it is agreed that much of the cheap money made available for business expan- sion-is going into the stock market.
 Details of the Congressional atti- tude, given by Washington ob- server, are as follows:
 The Senate Committee on Bank ing and Currency considered the King resolution at a meeting on January o2, 1880. It also considered a substitute resolution by Senator Glass which was for a somewhat broader inquiry. The Committee withheld action at that time but Senator Norbeck. the chairman. de- nied that 1t did so because of fear that the inquiry might tend to unsettle the process of rehabilita- ton now going on in the financial world"
 The first purpose of the investiga- ton. if decided upon. will be to de- termine whether the facilities of Federal Reserve banks have been utilized in loans for trading in and carrying securities" and in general to study the question of whether or not stock speculation would be ade- Quately controlled by the Federal Reserve system if given additional powers.

THE TOWN CLERK SITS PRETTY

Down as the nominee on both major tickets Town Clerk Thompson had nothing to worry over during the election. He didn't make a speech and didn't participate active ly in the elcctioneering Perhaps he shook hands with a few folks but that must have been because the folks came his way and not because he went out of his routine tracks to meet them.
 Riding to a return for another term as town clerk really was one of the striking things of the present campaign. Obviously, sentiment had much to do with it. This is not al- together an unsentimental age, de- spite the prevalence of machines and efficiency accounting.
 After the accountants got through with Mr. Thompson's office it look ed for about a, week as if MT. Thompson had little chance of be- ing again seriously considered as town clerk. But it also became known during that time that all the fuss was over methods that basically had nothing to do with honesty and integrity. Mr. Thompson never claimed he was fond of the fancy cash register nor did he claim lik- ing for some other modern frills wished upon him by the Common Council. He merely preferred to do business in the manner of ye olden time and let the rest go hang. Before going into the Republican primary MT. Thompson announced that the ensuing term was his last. The inference naturally was that ali he wanted was "vindication.' Rank and file of Republicans settled the issue in the primary. when Colonel Thompson rode so high in the re- turns that politicians held Up their hands in astonishment. The Dem O. crats. for a while harborine the mo- tion to contest his election, finally came 10 the conclusion that 10 do so might cause unnecessary splitting Democrats as well as Republicans who would insist on "Nindicatins" the colonel
 The victory of Colonel Thompson over all opposition, including the Hartford auditing firm, has been re- sounding. One naturally wonders what Mr. Paoncssa thinks about it. after having brought about the auditing of the books and paving the
 way for some slight political oppo-
 stion to the coloncls continuance in office. The opposition by tho way, seems 10 have been very sight. '' l Two years from now, when the | colonel retires, the office or town
 clerk will be subject to quite q @crambl9 ny the faithful and amoi-
 tious.
