Three Banks in

 ing told the public of their clos ing. The notice at the West Side bank stated 1t was ordered to close by the bank examiners because Of the closing of two other banks in the city.
 The condition of the Commercial and the American banks made the closing necessary. Walter Perry, state bank commissioner, said in a
 prepared statement issued at Hart ford.
 Closing of the West Side bank, Perry said, was ordered after its
 board of directors had requested such an order, in view of the
 banks condition and the intended
 closing of the other two institu- tions.
 It was understood a considerable portion of the three banks notes, which total nearly $4,000,000, are owed to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
 Perry's statement follows: Condition In the American Bank & Trust Company and the Commercial Bank 6 Trust Com pany were such that the law re- ouired us to close them. The board of directors of the West Side Bank, in view of its condition and of the closing of the other two institu- tions, requested the bank commis- sioner to take possession. Accord ingly restraining orders were issued on these three banks prior to 9 o'clock this morning and examin- CTS from this department are in charge.
 "As of June 30 the American Bank reported deposits of slightly in excess of $2,000,000 and notes payable of $3,200.0Q0. The report of the Commercial Bank & Trust Company disclosed deposits of about $1, 1,45O,000 and notes payable of over $S75,000. The West Side Bank had deposits of little less than $2,000,00O and notes payable
 of nearly $1,000,000."
 No estimate of the loss to de- positors would be made by Perry.
 The Commercial Bank was or ganized in 1909 and capitalized for $300,000. Two years later the Am erican Bank was organized by Ire
 maine and started with the same capitalization. The West Side Bank was started in 1918, also with a $300,000 capitalization.

 Watch Gold Edict
(Continued rom Page l.)

(Continued rom Page 1.)
 As the president turned to tho task of appointing planning and co-ordinating committee for the oil industry, the White House ,in- terpreted the executive orders as revitalizing the gold mining indus try.
 The order, allowing export was given because the gold mining. tn- dustry was the only industry re- strained by government action from the opportunity of obtaining better prices.
 Another factor, the White House said, was that under the attorney generals ruling 1t would have been possible to put new or newly mined gold into concentrates and ship 1t out of the country for re- fining. The new rulings keep the refining process in the United States.
 The United Press requested Har- land H. Allen, well known econo- mist, who earily predicted the tn- fiationary program of the United States as the inevitable result of mounting governmental costs and taxation, to present his views on President Roosevelt's proclamation establishing free market for mined gold. His article follows.
 By KIRKLAND H. ALLEN
 Copyright, 1883, by United Press)
 Chicago, Aug 30-(UP)-The presidents latest gold proclama- ton has broader, favorable impor- tance than may be generally rec ognized. It not only provides the gold producing interests of this country an avenue for the legal marketing of their products, at prevailing world prices. but 1t also will furnish all business and invest ment interests with dependable quotation on the current gold value of the dollar.
 With the English pound drop- ping and the French franc waver- ing in terms of gold lately, it has been increasingly difficult to be sure just what the dollar was worth.
 Now that the value of the dollar will be more precisely known, it should fluctuate less violently, be- ing less subject to whim, rumor and speculative excesses. That should aid business and employ ment generally, while the market for gold itself will, of course. re- establish employment in smelters and increase the demand for miners.
 This is but one step in a series of moves by the government. Ii will be as impossible to stop here where Americans can sell but only foreigners (and industrial users) can buy the precious metal, as il was to insist two weeks ago that new gold in this country must be shipped abroad to be smelted.
 The greatest good from an open gold market will not arrive, how ever until the government decides to enter that market and buy and sell the money metal at declining but regularly declining, rates, which will ct the dollar down fast enough to prevent its collapse un- der our excessive load of debt, and slow enough to give the MIRA a chance to build up compensating gains in purchasing power.

THE SITUATION

While the measures adopted by Congress looking
to national rehabilitation, under the leadership of
President Roosevelt, have so far met with general
approval important legislation of far-reachng
Importance is still to be enacted and until the exact
nature of these is known there is bound to
he less uncertainty and hesitation in the
business world.
Some of the problems which causing this hes
taton enumerated by B. c. Forbes, noted writer
business matters, follows:
Uncertainty what will be done to regulate
security issues; what will be done in the way
of guaranteeing bank deposits notifications Of tar
ifs; limiting of hours of labor; government control
of railroads, paying of bountes to farmers; taking
farm mortgages; further regulation of utilities
these Mr.. Forbes says are some Of the momentous
matters which engaging not to say dstracting,
the minds of responsible of affairs, responsible
employers"
The truth seems to be that no forward move
ment of great consequence the part of private
business and industry can be expected until legisa-
ton along the lines mentioned is finally enacted. In
other words business and industry waiting to find
out the conditions under which they must operate
in future before they go ahead.
While all hoping that the and revolu
tionary legislation embraced in President Roosevelt's
program will prove beneficial to the country at
large, the effects of this legislation will not become
apparent until the special session of Congress ad
journs and the results of it's labors definitely
known.

GIVE THE HOME TOWN BUSINESS MEN
A BREAK

At recent meeting of the Luverne village coun-
Gil ordinance passed taxing solicitors for out
of town dry cleaning establishments.
That fine thing to do for the protection
of the home dry cleaners
But why stop with dry cleaners. How about the
outside bakeries travelling grocers, and who
hurry into city village and out again, grabbing
what business they at prices high or higher
home?
Sank Centre has long been afflicted with this
sort of competition. The merchandise service sold
is often-time inferior to the home product.
Home merchants and other business men help
pay the taxes to keep this town functioning?
Why not give home folks a break? Pass
dinance protecting them in the same manner other
wide-awake cities and villages are doing?

WASHINGTON, Mar. %. (UP)
Senate and house leaders pre-
pared last night to modify Presi-
dent Roosevelt's reforestation un-
ployment relief program after
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor
had denounced it as smacking Of
"fascism, Hitlerism and a form of
sovietism."
The notifications will be de-
signed to make the plan OF
more voluntary character, with
fewer of the military aspects
which Green found Objectionable.
They are not expected to include
an increase in the dollar a day
! wage which aroused the labor
leader to a high pitch of indigna-
ton when he appeared yesterday
before a joint session of house
and senate labor committees.
The alterations contemplated
will not affect vitality the broad
plan under which President Roose-
welt expects to enlist 100000 I'M
employed in the cities and put
them to work in the national for
ests.
Leaders hope for enactment by
the end of next week. though this
may be delayed. Public hearings
were concluded yesterday. The
senate labor committee will meet
today, and the house committee
