PIPE LINES VITAL
HELP TO BUSINESS
Heavy Expenditures in Extending
Natural Gas Are Booked
for Present Year.
BY JOHN H. VAN DEvENTER.

For a long time. people living in
towns and cities close to oil fields have
enjoyed the advantages of natural
gas" AS a fuel for the kitchen stove
or other purposes. it has advantages
from the consumers standpoint, besides
costing him considerably less.
Developments in electric Welding have
made it possible, during the past few
wears, to make large diameter pipes
from sheet steel at low cost. One step
always leads to another in the matter of
industrial progress; and now we find
steel pipe lines from 20 to "a inches in
diameter, stretching across the country,
to carry natural gas to communities
many hundreds of niles from its source.
The longest gas line now building thus
far is one extending from the South
western oil fields to Pittsburgh, a dis
lance of approximately 300 miles. Last
year was our biggest year for new con-
struction OF pipe lines, half billion dol
lars being spent for that purpose IN
1880. Nearly every week some big new
pipe line project is announced. The
estimate for this year is double that of
last year, or one billion dollars
Getting into the billion-donar class
puts an industry well up in the ranks
of the big 10" of American industries.
For this is more than we spend in a
year for our boots and shoes, about as
much as we spend for tobacco, and
slightly under what we spend :or all of
our bread and bakery products.
OF course we cannot expect pipe line
construction TO keep on increasing in
definitely at this rate, for. like railroad
construction, there is some limit to the
number of mites that can prohtably be
utilized. But 1t Is a mighty handy thing
to have this boom in pipe lines come at
this time

STOCKS IRREGULAR
ON LIGHT TURNOVER
Bears Unable to Bring Out
Much Stock in Sell

BY CHARLES r. sPEARE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

0peCibl OlSphJcn 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, February 14-After re-
ceding at the opening and through
most of the first hour, today's stock
market showed signs of improvement
as 1t entered it's final stage.
Utilizing anything of an unfavorable
nature or that might be so construed,
the bears began their attack at the
opening on the specialties. This sell
ing, however, was not sufficient to bring
out any increase in offerings
Radio Corporation, General Electric
and Westinghouse stocks were sold as
a result of the decision against the
alleged patent pool. Some further shad-
ing in steel scrap prices caused offerings
of United States Steel, but this was
checked as various orders for steel and
iron were announced by railroads and
other important buyers.
Changes Are Small.
American Rolling Mills was marked
up more than point in early trading
following the announcement of develop
ment of new fabricating process for
the manufacture of pipe. International
Telephone ignored the winning of an
important patent suit by its British
affiliate against Siemens & Halsky.
American Telephone was dull and point
ed downward most of the time.
Consolidated Gas, one of the most
active utilities. eased slightly as a re-
suit of its indirect financing through
the purchase of rights offered by its
subsidiary, Brooklyn Edison. Southern
California Edison also was off a small
fraction because of the offering of rights
to common shareholders to buy l new
share for each 10 held at SIS share.
General Motors was compelled to
absorb considerable offerings, but the
selling subsidized when Olds Motor Works
announced that it was compelled to
step up production to care for i'm
mediate orders. General Motors will
announce its January sales on Monday
and in some quarters the report is ex-
pected to show a gain over that of
December.
The coppers displayed none of the
strength they exhibited Friday. This
was directly traceable to the slackened
demand for copper metal, which may
bring about a slight shading of quo
tations before another upward revision
takes place.

BLOW AT FEDERAL
RESERVE IS SEEN
Wisconsin Proposal for State
Central Bank Designed to
-
Curb Groups.
BY CYRIL b. UPHAM.

Serious interference with the opera
lions and effectiveness of the Federal
Reserve system would result from the
adoption by the States of plan pro-
posed in Wisconsin, where a bill has
just been introduced into the Legisla-
ture for the establishment of Central
State Reserve Bank
Enactment of the bill would interrupt
correspondent banking relationships of
many years standing under which
banks in New York, Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis and other cities have
served in that capacity for Wisconsin
banks. Bankers in those cities and
Federal Reserve officials are expressing
concern with respect to the proposal.
Aimed at Group Banking.
The measure is aimed at the group
bank development in Wisconsin and
neighboring States and is designed, ac-
cording to its statement of purpose, Ito
safeguard the State from domination
by great holding companies and combi-.
nations in the banking field" A Cen
trail State Reserve Bank at Milwaukee,
with branches throughout the State,
would be created.
All State banks in Wisconsin would
be required under the bill to subscribe
to the capital stock of the central bank.
National banks in the State, If free from
control by foreign corporations and if
not members of any banking chain or
group. might become members. Mem
bership once acquired would be for
feited by both State and national banks
coming under the ownership or control
OF foreign corporation or becoming
members of any chain or group
All funds of the State or of any of its
political subdivisions would be kept on
deposit with the central reserve bank
and its members. The central reserve
bank would act as reserve and CORE
spondent bank for its members. The
attempted self-sufficiency of the State
banking system is revealed by the pro-
vision that the central State reserve
bank would assist member banks in
finding profitable investment for their
funds, preferably within the State of
Wisconsin"
Might Quit Federal System.
Faced with the necessity of subscrib-
ing per cent of their capital stock
and surplus to the stock of the central
State reserve bank, State banks would
likely give up some, If not all, of their
correspondent relationships outside of
clined to leave the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn. Even national banks in Wisconsin
might find it advantageous to convert
to State charter. Certainly if other
States followed the lead of Wisconsin,
the operations of the Federal Reserve
system would be hampered, unless there
could be worked out some indignation,
with perhaps 48 reserve districts instead
of r.
There is strong feeling in Wisconsin
against the chain bank, the chain store
and every other form of chain organiza-
ton in business. 1t was an issue in the
last election. While there are group
bank organizations within the State,
and while one of the Minneapolis groups
has number of units in the State, in
dependent bankers are vigorous in their
opposition, and it is expected that the
present session of the Legislature will
see number of attempts to check the
movement.

the game is some sort of business

You are right as far as you've
