SENTIMENT GAINS
FOR BANK REFORMS
Growing Number of Experts
Urging Adjustment of
Dual System.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER.

The ranks of those banking authori-
ties who believe the present dual sys-
tenn in this county should be abolished
are gaining many recruits.
Criticism of the present system
reached degree of high importance
last year when Eugene Meyer, governor
of the Federal Reserve Board, told a
Senate Banking Committee that a uni
fed program, under Government con-
troll, should replace the policy now
pursued, which. on account of many
variations, is not applicable to sound
methods
Since that time many suggestions
have been advanced, the latest from
the Southeastern Economic Association
being revolutionary in character and
providing for a thorough reorganization
of the entire system, from its physical
set-up even to the accepted theories Of
financing.
The general theory, which seems to
form the background for all proposed
remedies. is that the day of the small
town bank has ended.
GIaring Defects Seen.
A study of the records of bank fail
ureS since 1920 indicates that there
are glaring fundamental and organic
defects in the banking structure of this
country. While the number of in
solvencies during the last few years
have been tremendous, the record for
the last II years. of which are asso-
ciated generally with prosperous
period, proves this point
For instance, from 1921 through the
year 1929 there was a total Of 5,624
banks which closed their doors, affect
ing many thousands of depoSitorS and
tying up credit in thousands Of COM
munitieS.
OF these closed institutions during the
nine-year period 4.648. or 80 per cent,
were non-member banks, mainly inde-
pendent in character and situated in
farm sections Of the country.
Students of banking declare that to
attribute bank failures during the last
three years solely to the depression is
to disregard all underlying economic
factors The truth of the matter, they
point out. is that the present era of
Improbable business has merely brought
to the surface, through bank failures.
the inherent weakness that has always
existed in the American banking system.
Recorded by Years.
In the table that follows the record
of failures is given since 1921, by
classes as reported in the latest issue
of the Federal Reserve Boards monthly

MONUMENT OR. OPERATIONS

A c Stewart, president and gen. eral manager of the Monument Creek Mining Co.,, operated suc- cessfully this season, though at times during the summer opera tons suffered somewhat from the dry spell.

The tailings were hauled toward a gin pole with an Ersted-Ford- son hoist at a cost of less than $15.O0 per day, this includes the wages of the hoist man. The eff forts of MT. Stewart in making his Monument Creek properties good paying proposition are to be commended. and it is only regret table that this section is lacking in men of his stamina and mining experience, to make many other mining properties now tagging, brought into the productive stage.

 Continuing, MT. Stewart furth CT says: "This brings to mind the fact that many deposits-not lar ge enough, or suitable for dred- ge-and as deep as 20 it.. can be mined at extremely low cost. The waters needed to keep going steadily next season, will be pump ed and continuous operations carried on in the Sunset area.

(By Special Correspondent Friends of Maurice Moreno, who for many years has run a road house and trading post at McKin- ley Park and who left for the Out side December last year seeking to benefit his health, will be glad to know he successfully passed thru two operations d is gaining strength.
 The first word from him since he left came in a letter addressed to MT. and Mrs. D. F. Stubbs, of Mckinley Park. Shortly before leaving for the Outside, Mr. Moreno went to Fairbanks, where he was X-rayed and pronounced sound, and it is not known just what his operations were for. His letter, in part says:
 T just same straight from home to here here is splendid clinic. I was feeling bad when the train arrived and had to be packed to the hospital I just came out of my second operation last February IT. It looks like I have a little spark of life yet, but I weigh just 116 pounds so weak they have to raise me in bed. Hope you and Mrs. Stubbs are both all right. If I get we'll will write more later, if don't, God bless you all.
