does Mexico's population thus stag
nate at less than one half proportion?
The reason lies in the racial super
iority of the Anglo-Saxon. Because
of our better methods, the Mexican
yearns to live under the Stars and
Stripes. Here he is not recruited at
the bayonet's point, to fight in rev
olution" regarding which he knows
nothing. Here is enforced a SAM
tatiOn not to be found in his country.
Then, too, our wage standard is at
tractive. Our field workers in Mex
leo formerly found poems working for
II cents daily. Is there not a good
reason for the mass migration north
ward?
But our very peace, and our very
living standards that attract his COM
ing in one of the largest mass i'm
migrations in history seem to have
within them the spores of their own
decay. The Mexican poems differ
entail birthrate spells the same
rotting of the old stock that came
when Athens admitted the slavish
"barbarians" to her citizenship.
With nearly 100000 Americans
unemployed last spring, while about
100000 Mexican poems were with
us, we are speeding this deteriora-
ton of the old American stock. Mex
leo should go under the same quota
we maintain against Europe.

SETTLING ST. LAWRENCE POWER
(St. Paul DiSpatch)

After. years of controversy all in
terests i'm New York state, political,
financial and economic, have agreed
upon water power policy that is of
much interest to the people of Mimi
esota for two important reasons. First
it establishes the principle, set forth
in legislative draft, that natural
water power sites shall remain in
alienable to, and ownership and con-
troll shall remain always vested in the
people" Such an advanced position
regarding public ownership of natural
resources coming from the Empire
state charts a line for all other states
to follow
The second point of concern to
MinnesOtans relates to the st. Law
renee waterway. In the rapids of
this great river that for some distance
forms the northern boundary of New
York is potential water power of vast
undeveloped value to the East I'm the
same channel are the rocks and falls
that block the Northwest's route to
the sea. New York looks only toward
the power; Minnesota seeks a deep
water opening for the Great Lakes, so
that ships may go direct from Duluth
to the ocean. The channel first with
power as by-product is the wish of
the West.
Between private power interests

TURN THE ARGUMENT

The talk BIAS been right along to
make industry and the East prosper
Gus so that they can buy the products
of the farms from the Northwest. But
why not change it and make the
Northwest prosperous so that the
farmers can buy the manufactured
articles of the East? The East has
had the advantage of a good tariff
for industry-the Fordney- McCumber
act-since 1922 and yet there is little
prosperity among the workers, in fact
several million of them are idle and
begging for work. The whole thing in
a nut shell is that the benefits of the
favorable tariff bill for the indus
trial East has accrued largely to the
few, the milliOnaires-and we fail to
see the benefit for the farmers or the
workers in the building up of more
milliOnaires. In a land of plenty

TRAFFIC CHANGES

A light automobile carries more
than its weight in passengers and the
average Pullman car averages less
than five per cent of it's weight in
passengers, which explains why pas
senger traffic is diverted so much onto
pneumatic tires nowadays. But
railroad officials are not asleep, they
are abreast of the times and have
acquired many of the bus lines and
are now making connections with air
lines on coast to coast transportation.
You can glide along in the air during
the day time, making fast time, at
night alight and board a train, enjoy
good sleep in the Pullman, and next
morning get up and take to the air
again.

is anti-social Because it would serve
to retard business and hamper bust
ness initiative, it is uneconomic.
We have in America today an eff
cient banking system, a system struc-
turally adapted to encourage and fos-
ter the highest degree of initiative
and individual enterprises on the part
of business men, but it is a system
that, with independence and individu-
alism as desideratum, can be devel-
Oped and strengthened. 1t can be de-
veloped and strengthened by strength
ening the independent, Individual
banks.
Long ago banks throughout the
United States began establishing cor
respondent relationships with banks
in the principal cities-relationshi
by which the smaller banks deposited
portions of their funds in the larger
banks and looked upon the larger
banks as consultants in all manner of
banking problems and as co-partners
in solving those problems.
Correspondent banking involves no
concentration, no shifting of control.
The Independent bank remains indie
pendent, operated by it's own direc-
tors and officers, and owned by it's
own stockholders. The smaller banks
correspondent banks in the large cities
are correspondents of their own
choosing. Between the smaller bank
and it's larger correspondents there
has grown up, through the years, a
bond of confidence and cooperation.
Let the larger banks extend and
improve the service they render to
their smaller correspondents. Let the
larger banks unite in group consider
alton of the many ways in which
they can be helpful. l know that
they will find the smaller banks high
ly receptive. | know, for instance,
that they will find majority of them
in favor of correspondent-bank con-
ventions conventions in which each
of the larger banks can call its CORE
spOndents together for the study of
problems.

light from those who are voting with
the interests for what they can get
out of it and because they think that
is the easiest way to be returned to

up to speak out in public except for a
short interval before the next election
when they come out with a harrage
of stuff and try to befuddle the minds
of the public and often succeed They

ABOUT JURY DUTY

refer to schedule 81" and *" grand
jurors and petit jurors. I understand
that there is a law in Minnesota pro-
hibiting discrimination against women
jurors and in a number of counties
the proceedings of an entire term of
court have been declared illegal be-
cause of this discrimination. This
sort of thing would be a large and
expense to the county.
In the list in this statement We have
a total of seventy-six jurors, of whom
six are women. Out of total of So, 862.-
20 paid for jury service $147.20 was
paid to women. There are plenty of in
telligent women in Pine county who
would be benefited physically and
mentally by a two weeks vacation,
with pay, at the county seat. Last,
but not least. If the drawing is done
on the square, how does it happen that
three persons of the same family are
lucky or unlucky enough to be placed
on jury duty at the same term Of
court? How does it happen that so
many on the list have the same names
as our county officials?

CEMENT ON FREE LIST

Northwest progressive Senators have
scored again. The Senate Finance
committee had placed, tariff duty
of 81 cents per barrel on cement
Senator McMaster of South Dakota
led the fight against this high duty
and it was returned to the free list
by a vote of 40 to 35. Mr.. McMaster
argued that wearing apparel and ne
cessities of life which are upon a
dutiable list are quickly consumed,
and therefore are charged to- expense
Cement and steel to large extent
enter permanent construction, and
therefore must be charged to capital
account, on which there must be an
annual interest charge.
Going on the senator said: "Assum-
ing, for the sake of argument, that a
31-cent duty per barrel upon cement
would raise the price of all the ce-
ment used in the country by an equal
amount, this would be an additional
tax upon the consumers of the nation
of $53,000,000 annually, and as a large
part of this increased price must be
charged to capital account, it means
that before that amount is finally
liquidated through depreciation that

NEW YORK BANKER
OPPOSES THE CHAIN
Argues That Absentee Ownership and
Control Will Not be as Satisfac.
tory as Local Ownership.

The revolution" in American
banking is a trend the effect of
which is absentee control, and if
allowed to spread throughout the
nation can inflict serious harm on
business, according to George w.
Dawson, president of the Central
Hanover Bank of New York City,
in the Printers Ink Monthly. Mr..
Davison's article follows:
Banking is service, and since it is
"a service of credit, it is a service of a
kind highly unique. 1t would seem
that banks deal in money, but i'm his
heart every banker knows that banks
deal in character, and character is
not merely local. 1t is individual.
1t is the character, cOmpositely and
separately considered, of every bank
er's custOmers-custOm whom he
knows by sight and by name and by
reputation.
Our Place i'm Sun.
| believe that Americas banking
system, evolved through the years
since it began, has helped our nation
to its place in the economic sun. The
history of our banking is a story of
epic achievement in industrial coop
Grafton. But achievement by whom
and by what? By individual bankers
and by individual banks
What is the local bushes man to
do if, when he goes to the bank, he
must talk with a manager who re-
CARDS credit as commodity, who is
allowed to exercise no discretion of
his own, and whose decisions are for.
for him-and formulated in
advance-by management that, hun
dreds of miles away, must draw it's
guidance from the criterion of credit
ratings, or what is more likely. from
the criterion of collateral value?
American banking can continue to
serve the American business men just
as it has served his needs and helped
him in the past-but not by absentee
by piling power on power. Virtue in
is not matter of size.
Our national financial machine is a
that, thanks to the Federal
Reserve System, is as strong, paradox
ical as the statement may sound, as
its strongest link.
AS to the quality of the service, as
to its flexibility and it's possibilities
for adaptation to local and individual
needs and national needs, as we'll
there can be no question that the in
dependent local banks in the towns
and cities are i'm better position to
serve their communities and the coun-
try at large than would be any chain
or group whose control is centralized.
Concentration Dangerous.
The concentration of money power,
or credit power, in any center of our
land, or in any group Of centers, vio-
lates our American creed. Not only is
such a concentration un-American, it
