CHICAGO, September 5.-Five thou
sand bankers were told today by Francis
H. sisson, president of the American
Bankers Association, that the deposit
guaranty made by Congress this year
would be Of Questionable" value.
THE present law largely repeats the
old mistakes on q bigger SCALE" Sisson
said in speaking of the banking act Of
1888. Of which the deposit guaranty is
a part. The act guarantees deposits up
to $2,50o.
Guaranty Of deposits plans have
proved failures wherever tried in many
previous tests" Sisson said, invariably
causing weaker rather than stronger
banking, and have been abandoned in
every case by sadder and wiser States
Banks Made Scapegoat.
Sisson claimed that "the haste with
which the measure was drawn and the
controversial and high-strrng conditions
under which 1t was enacted resulted IN
many defects that hamper its practical
operation"
He also criticized the act for calling
upon the banks to give up investment
activities and for giving the Federal
Reserve Board at Washington, which he
termed politically appointed" the
power to control credit operations OF
member banks.
Sisson traced the banking legislation
to what he termed blaming of the
banker for all the Nations economic
ills
Society sought its scapegoat and
landed with remarkable unanimity upOn
the banker as the demon responsible
for all their troubles" Sisson said: THE
unfortunate part of this wave Of SIAN
der and attack is that it reacts upon
the bankers institution, upon the bust-
ness Of its community.

blame the bankers have been subjected
to, a food of uniformed attacks ha!

Beer Gardens

Three -point-two beer was thought of as stimulant to the brewing industry. if not to the people drinking the beverage. It also seems to be stimulating the garden business. To the vegetable garden. flour garden and rock garden. there is now added the beer garden. This kind of gardening. observes an expert requires chairs tables, stone. gravel. top soil, fertilizer. trees shrubs. flowers. awnings and various other equip ment. r4
 So much interest is being shown in many communities that the fitting out of old fashioned beer gardens seems about to be- come specialized profession. In one city. possessed pleasant memories of the festive l890's and l900s. an architect offers through newspaper to help work out the plan for anybody's beer garden. indoors or outdoors.

Too Available Alcohol

The talk of using alcohol with gasoline as motor fuel in this country is increasing It IS pointed out that number. of European countries already use from 2 to 20 per cent alcohol in mixture of the two. not partieu- larly to help agriculture. but to lower the amount of petroleum derivatives imported
 In the United States. where the public refuses to grow concerned about petroleum resources. the argument of helping agricul- ture might start something. It is estimated that if the 2 per 6nt mixture of alcohol with gasoline were effected it would re- quire l20, 100000 bushels of corn annually. If the percentage were higher, farm mort gages would become past history and the corn belt would look like the Promised Land.
 There is joker in the proposal which makes it likely that. in spite of the talk and enthusiasm, alcohol will not bring about the desired farm relief. The New York Times explains that "peroleum can be cracked to yield ethylene. from which the synthetic equivalent of ethyl or gain alcohol can bs obtained" Two years ago 8,000,000 gal Ions of this alcohol were so produced and sold in highly competitive market" There will have to be some other way out for the farmer.

A WeIl-Deserved Victory

Despite the fact that right triumphed over political intrigue at Hartford yesterday there is much work ahead for Governor Wilbur L. Cross and his supporters of the commission form of liquor control. As originally presented to the Legislature no doubt there is some room for improvement on the original liquor control report, but there certainly is no need of the Legislature deviating from it as far as was done by the legislative judiciary committee when it pro- posed local option and gave moral support to the county commissioner plan.
 Republican leadership in the House was overturned yesterday in convincing fashion. We think this may be laid directly at the door of Governor Cross. His plea to the voters of this state to demand of their rep resentatives and senators that they oppose return to the county commissioners the power to issue liquor licenses, etc. was heard and responded to with overwhelming strength. It is conclusive evidence of the fact that Governor Gross personally and by his principles appeals to the independent voters of Connecticut. May he always continue to do 50.
 In the Senate today we anticipate no difficulty for the governors liquor control plan. We even expect that republican members will align themselves there with the democrats to support the governor and to vote down the proposal of the judiciary committee. That is as 1t should be to our way of thinking. The people have sig njfied in diverse ways that they are dis satisfied with the methods that were in vogue prior to the arrival of prohibition. That we now want prohibition scrapped is no indication that we wish to return to the old system of liquor control. We want something new and we claim to have found if in a commission of three exercising full control in the state.
 Strictly speaking this subject is non- partisan one It remains one despite the fact that republican leaders in the House opposed the Cross commission finding. We don't even believe that the attacks made on Governor Cross by such g.o.p. leaders as Lieutenant Governor Wilcox. Senate Mi nority Leader Alcorn, and State Treasurer Hope. will cause many people in the state to do anything else but place considerable confidence in Governor Crosss ability to control the most difficult of legislative sit- nations. We now hope that every effort will be made to provide the state with as fine liquor control plan as can be evolved. keeping. of course. the one salient feature of state commission uppermost.

Fewer Public Bequssss

Institutions and agencies which have benefitied in the past from large bequssts have been hard hit by the depression. Ae- eordins to one estimate their reasonable expectancy of such help has been reduced by 75 per cent Many persons making wills who, might have been expected to incorporate public bequests have declined to to 90. In other cases bequests already writ ten into wills have been revoked.
 It is easy enough to see why this should be co. Many similar bequests made in good faith in the past have proved worthless since the depression because estates have shrunk % greatly. Will-makers feel that they can- not be sure how their own estates will come through, and furthermore, they decide to leave most of their already diminished resources to their families.
 Understanding the reasons does not make the situation happier for the institutions 50 handicapped Useful public services and research activities will have to be sharply eurtailed, if not discontinued, as result of this change. That is not all. It is felt that the work of twenty-five years in build ing up bequest-minded public has been undone. Education toward that end will have to begin all over again when the pres ent emergency is over. Perhaps. too. they will have to rely less on a few big bequests and more on large number of small ones.

MRS OWEN TO DENMARK
(springfeld Republican,

It IS no more than justice to Mrs Ruth Bryan owen to say that she Is better fitted to enter diplomatic service as minister to Denmark than her distinguished father was to enter it by becoming secretary of state. She has given the impress sion, as member of congress, of a person of tact, ability and discre. tion. The importance of the ap- pointment to Denmark is not to be measured merely in terms of Dan- ish trade or in terms of anything else that Is strictly and exclusively Danish. Denmark has long been considered good listening post.
 As ain observer of European trends. even outside of Denmark, Mrs owen may possibly perform her chief service. During the war president Wilson sent Norman Hap good to the same post largely for the purpose of observing develop ments in Russia. There is a good deal going on in Europe, in Ger many and elsewhere, that can be watched from Denmark right now. It is sometimes an advantage to be over the border where men and women dare to speak more freely.
 While Mrs owen is the first wom- an tc achieve ministerial rank in our American diplomatic service. 1t is moro than 10 years since that service was first opened to women.
