OUR HIGHEST COURT

1t is interesting to note that while 81
citizens of the United States have been
elevated to the presidency, only IL have
been appointed chief justice since the
foundation of our government--Jay, Rut-
ledge, Ellsworth, Marshall, fancy, Chase,
Waite, Fuller. White, Taft and Hughes.
One of these, John Rutledge, was
never confirmed by the senate, as evil
dences of approaching insanity developed
about the time of his appointment by
President Washington in 1896, and Els
worth was named in his stead few
months later.
John Marshall served longer than
any other chief justice, 81 years, and died
in office at the age of 80. fancy served
% years until his death at the age of 81.
Jay, the first chief Justice, was the young
est at the time Of his appointment, being
only Al Marshall was appointed at the
age of 46.
Among former associate justices of
the supreme court, Joseph Story, appointed
at the age of 80, was the youngest, while
William Johnson was 33 at the time of his
appointment. Associate Justice Brandeis,
still in active service at the age of 76. is
the oldest member of the present court.
The high ability and undisputed in
tegrity of our highest court have always
been source of pride to every American
citizen. The court as at present con-
stituted firmly maintains the best tradi-
tions of the distinguished jurists who
served in the earlier days of the republic.

WHAT BANKS ARE FOR
kansas City Starr

At a time like this it is important to
consider just what banks are for. They
are not safe deposit boxes into which
money is packed away so that all deposi-
tors can get it out at the same time if the
mood seizes them. They are essential in
struments for carrying on the nations
business.
Experience has demonstrated that
ordinarily a bank needs to hold only a
small part of it's deposits in the shape of
currency. 1t tries to keep large share
of them out at work. A merchant makes
loan for sixty days to finance the pur-
chase of goods The goods come in, he
sells them and pays off the loan. In nor
nal times that sort of thing is constantly
going on There is plenty of money in the
bank to meet all the ordinary demands of
the depositors and at the same time. to
keep business going.
But. if suddenly many of the deposit
tors become panicky and rush to the bank
to take out their money, what happens?
The bank has to stop making new loans,
and to call in the old ones as rapidly as
possible It must become liquid that is
it must stop being bank and become a
safe deposit box.
Under such circumstances it is per-
fectly apparent what must happen to bust
ness 1t must contract its operations be-
cause its normal supply of credit is cut off.
That throws men out of work and hurts
the whole community.
The banking system of the country
generally is sound and is able to meet all
the legitimate demands of its depositors
and of business. But if depositors on a
large scale lose their heads and take their
money out of the banks, then business
must suffer correspondingly.
Our business and our standards of liv-
ing are organized on basis involving ex-
tellsive use of bank credit. If we want to
live on the barter system of our fore
fathers we can force ourselves to that level
by taking our money out of the bank.
But do we really want to do that?

THE BUSINESS HANDIcAPs

Merchants and business men are
adapting themselves to new conditions and
trying to reach common level of defla-
ton. Staples are close to that point now
and, rs they were the first to drop. should
be the first to rise.
But there has been no similar della
ton in debts, II this could be accom-
plished, recovery would be fastened
Political uncertainty also delays re-
eovery. Business men fear new forms Of
legislation and taxation that may be en-
acted
One Of this nations greatest handi-
caps is too many law-making machine
IS state legislatures and . federal con-
sress that are persistentiy piling up pub
