SEVERE STORMS
DUE IN SPRING
Violent Gales Practically
Certain, Is Word From
Weather Bureau.
BIZ Scicnce Scr1ice


WASHINGTON, March IT.
Severe cycloniC storms, amounting
at times to tornadoes like that of
last Tuesday in the middle south,
can be expected at this time Of
year, according to the United States
weather bureau here. They are the
result of spring atmospheric cOndi-
tons; a mass of warm, moist air
invading the land from the Gulf,
meeting a mass of cold air moving
from the west or northwest.
The funnel-shaped tornado cloud
forms in the upper air, and works
downward, its tip eventually reach
ing toward the ground and oc-
casionally touching it, with dis
astrous results to anything in it's
path.
While the weather bureau fire.
quently has advance knowledge Of
conditions that may cause a tor
nado, it pursues a policy of not CIV
ing out tornado warnings as it gives
out hurricane warnings. This is be-
cause hurricanes are highly depend
able disasters, whereas tornadOes are
not.
They frequently spend their force
in the upper air, and in any case
the path of a tornado if it does
touch ground is SO narrow and SO
unpredictable in location that tor
nado forecasts probably would do
more harm by alarming people than
they would do good by warning the
relatively few who may affected di-
rectlY.

WASHINGTON. March Ire
cent banking troubles have sent a
cry for reform echoing across the
country.
The judgment Of informed per-
sons here is that far-reaching
changes will be made to protect the
public
Preliminary discussion, in the
heat of the concern which recent
events has caused, ranges over the
following key points around which
the banking reform fight is expected
to center:
l. Bringing of all banks into a
federal system subject to uniform
regulation in place of the present
forty-eight state systems.
2. Limited guarantee or deposit
insurance
3. Broadening of the rediscount
base of the federal reserve system
so that long-term paper normally
may be used for obtaining cash at
federal reserve banks, which until
the present emergency were limited
to ninety-day paper.
Sharp Differences Exist
4. Provision to prevent any state
executive closing down banks as was
done in the recent holiday, trowing
a panic drain on adjacent states.
5. Closer coordination of the
twelve federal reserve banks into
something more closely resembling a
national bank.
6. Extension of branch banking.

Officially Opens Work on
Structure Being Built
at Playground.

Saving a city budget isn't new
wrinkle for Mayor Reginald H.
Sullivan, but board-well, that's
a carpenters horse of a couple of
different legs.
The mayor learned that Friday
afternoon when he was invited to
begin the official work on the 1888
model home which is being erected
in the Manufacturers building at
the Playground for the Indian
apoliS Home Show to be held April
% to %.
Mayor Works in Earnest
The mayor sawed boards through
several pictures and, at last, was
cajoled to go to work in earnest as
he did back in the WoodShed days.
He put his knee on the board ex-
tended over the saW-horse and
started a sweat.
The 1888 model home will be
modernistic in design.
Cooperate in Exhibition.
Organizations cooperating in the
yearly exhibition are the Indian
apolis Home Builders Association,
Indianapolis Real Estate Board, In
dianapolis Chamber of Commerce,
Electric League of Indianapolis ana
the Allied Florists Of Indianapolis,

cations who attended the official
ceremonies Friday, were: j. Harry

7. Stricter bank regulation to pre-
vent such operations as those re-
Gently disclosed on the part of the
former National City bank officials.
8. Thorough separation OF COM
mercial and investment banking
g. Forcing Of private banks. such
as j. P. Morgan & Co.. to submit to
the. same control as regular banks
or else forbid them accepting de-
posts.
Sharp differences exist between
big city bankers and country bank
ers and the banking reform fight is
expected to ring with their denunc-
iation and counter denunciation.
Big Banks Against Little Banks
The big city bankers says the little
banks have inadequate resources. are
RI under loose state laws which
permit any corner grocer to start a
bank, and that the largest percent
age Of failures have been among
small state banks.
To this the champion of the
country banker retorts that the big
city banker has made more mistakes
and coStlier mistakes than the little
banker, and that the country bank
erS' troubles are due partly to having
had stock and bond issues foisted
upon them by Wall Street bankers.
The coming battle is confused by
many technical banking questions,
but this historic emotional clash Of
the city and the small town, the
same cleavage that ragged around
Jackson's fight against the bank of
the United States, forms a basic
dividing line.

Government to Collect Tax

This might mean that the prices
of bread. other wheat products,
cotton goods, beef, pork, etc. would
be increased to the extent of the
fluctuating tax.
The government would collect this
tax, and from it pay TO farmers of
these basic commodities a reasonable
rental for land they take out Of pro-
duction
In some instances, the bounty
would be paid direct to producers on
some other fair basis, which would
result in the reduction Of production
Generally, the bill gives the Pres
ident and the secretary of agri-
culture authority to put the domestic
allotment plan of farm relief into
effect although in and out of the
administration efforts are being
made to avoid that name This was
the plan the house approved last
session, and that was reported by
the senate agriculture committee to
the senate, which did not pass it.
In the Roosevelt bill the plan is
called the agricultural adjustment.
Reduce Cotton Acreage
The proposal also includes the
cotton plan of Chairman Ellison D.
Smith Dem, S. c. Of the senate
agriculture committee. Under it
all government-owned cotton, about
100000 bales, is to be pooled.
Cotton farmers who agree to re-
duce their production by 30 per
cent or more are given an option
on an equal amount of the pool cot
ton. When selling time comes the
farmer can have the government
pool dispose of his cotton, taking
the profit, if any.
This has the double purpose of
getting rid of the government
owned cotton and reducing this
years cotton crop.
Like the house bill of last session,
the new Roosevelt plan also pro-
vides for processing taxes on COM
moditieS that compete with agri-
cultural products.

Cotton similarly jumped a dollar bale,
with prices at the highest for two years.
1t was the publicity given to the ad-

effect the provisions for the farm relief
