LISTEN, WORLD
BY Elsie Robinson

) breathlessly, "and I just Let Go!
OF course, I was able to get hold
Of myself fairly soon. But here's
the funny part Of it. Since then
it has happened several times.
And each time it's easier. Isn't
that strange? For. over so years
lived without losing my temper.
Now, after I've done it once,
there's the constant temptation.
"It was just as if something
broke" she repeated.
And, of course, that was
exactly what did happen. Some
thing did break-something that
had taken millions of years in
the building.
Bad tempers aren't accidental.
They're fundamental. We're all
born with bad temperS. We're
all born selfish, cowardly, greedy,
with a strong desire to have our
own way, and if we can't have
our own way, we raise Cain.
And that is simply another
way of saying that we're all
born savages. And the history
of the human race has been one
long struggle to build controls
and barricades against that
savagery.
Nor are these controls and
barricadeS imaginary things.
They are an actual part of the
human spirit. We are still pro-
foundly ignorant about them.
We can't tell how they operate,
or catch them with an X-ray
photograph. But we know they're
'there-as real as our toe-nails
and tonsils.
You don't have to read books
to discover the fact. You need
only read yourself. You can feel
that Savagery within you. You
can also feel, though more
family, those barricades. And
when you "lose your temper" it
"feels aS if something breaks"
. because something actually does
break. That control, which civili-
Zation has so laboriously built
up, breaks. And in comes the
jungle!
Why can "bad temper" so cas-
lily became a habit? That's why.
If you break that barricade,
you've lost that protection, and
it will be just so much easier for
the jungle to come in again
and again. ONE NEEDLESS
LOSS OF TEMPER WILL UN-
DO THE RESULT OF A THOU.
SAND YEARS OF HUMAN
CONTROL.

start in the same way. With

permanent deposit insurance
plan goes into effect, the fol-
lowing classes of insurance will
apply to deposits in banks in
Sured under this plan:
One hundred per cent in
Surance on deposits not ex-
ceeding $4,000.
Seventy-five rer cent of the
amount, if any, which exceeds
$4,000 but does not exceed
$4,000; and
Fifty per cent of the amount.
If any, by g.. which such sum
exceeds $4,000.
Considerable criticism or the
permanent provisions or the
Glass-Steagall act has come from
bankers in various parts Of the
country. This criticism will not
deter the Roosevelt administra-
tion from carrying out the plain
intent of Congress to give the
full measure of protection to
bank deposits for which the
GlaSS-Steagall act provides.
Not New
Speaking for the Administra-
ton, Chairman Jones, of the Re-
construction Finance Corpora
ton, has repeatedly informed
bankers who have criticized the
new law that if they think they
are going to get rid of this law
at the next session of Congress
they simply do not know the
Congress"
Furthermore, Senator Fletcher,
chairman Of the Senate Commit
tee on Banking, has recently an
nounced that the deposit insur'
ance features of the Glass
Steagall act will be strengthened
at the coming session if further
examination shows any weak
spots in the existing law.
There is nothing particularly
new in the protection for bank
deposits written into the Glass
Steagall act at the last session.
Many bankers have forgotten
that when the Federal Reserve
act passed the Senate in 1918, it
included a provision inserted by
Senator John Sharpe Williams
of Mississippi. long a conserva-
tive leader of the Democratic
party, to guarantee bank de-
posits from the profits of the
Federal Reserve system. This
provision was stricken out in
conference upon the ground
that, as the Federal Reserve
system was in the nature Of an
experiment, its initial operations
might be embarrassed by includ-
ing at the outset the guarantee
provisions proposed by the late
Senator Williams.
For the last 10 years. Repre-
sentative Steagall of Alabama
has fought hard for Federal pro-
lection for bank deposits, and
the Roosevelt administration Is
firmly resolved to give the ex-
pertinent a fair trial

Bank Deposits Insurance
To Get Fair Trial
By James T. Williams, Jr.

With the New Year will be-
gin a nationwide experiment of
intense interest to many mil
lions of bank depositors Of
whom all too many have suf-
fered losses in bank failures
during the last decade.
This experiment is author
ized by Congress under the
terms of the Glass-Steagall act,
approved at the last session of
Congress. It provides for a Fed
eral Deposit Insurance Corpora
ton. The purpose of this
agency will be to safeguard
the assets of national banks
which have been closed and the
assets of State banks which are
members of the Federal Re
serve System. It will also insure
the deposits Of all banks en-
titled to the benefits of insur-
ance under the act.
Law Provides
The Temporary Federal De-
posit Insurance Fund will in
sure bank deposits up to $2,500
from the beginning of the new
year until the new fiscal year
begins on July l, 1884.
On the latter date, the perma-
nent provisions Of the Glass
Steagall act go into effect.
Under these provisions $780,
100000 will be appropriated
from the Treasury to pay for
the capital stock of the Fed
eral Deposit Insurance Corpora
ton.
Every bank which is or which
becomes a member of the Fed
eral Reserve System on or be-
fore July /, 1884, is required to
take all the steps necessary to
become a Class A, ,stockholder of
the Deposit Insurance Corpora
tion.
Member banks will hold Class
A stock that will be authorized
to pay dividends out of net
earnings.
Only Federal Reserve Banks
will hold Glass B stock, and
these will not be entitled to
any payment of dividend.
Banks which are members
of the Federal Reserve System
will be required to apply to
the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation for Class A stock
in an amount equal to one
half of / per cent of their total
deposit liabilities.
The new law requires that
the banks must be thoroughly
examined to determine the
adequacy Of the assets Of the
bank to meet all of its liabilities
to depositors and other creditors.
More than 1000 banks have
already been examined under
the Deposit Insurance pro-
visions of the new law, and the
examination will be completed
as rapidly as it can be con-
Quoted effectively.
After July /. 1884, when the
