The proposal to divert the aa-
ministrative powers over 10 Al

is not new. but this year The

The guiding hand behind the
movement this year is Senator
John Sprunt Hill Of Durham, who
believes that the transferrenCe Of
research work and the test farms
to State college, and giving to
the board of agriculture complete
authority, would not ouly elimi-

advance the agricultural inter-

OVERSTUFFED CHAIR
PRESENTED SPEAKER

GaveI Through RuSe.

Speaker Earl Crawford of the
house of representatives is resting
today in an oVerstuffed chair pre-
scented to him Monday afternoon by
house members, following a ruse
which resulted in his relinquishing
the gaVel to Representative Martin
j. DoWney dem, Hammond.
The house was grinding away on
bill providing that state laws con-
corning narcotics be changed to
comply with federal laws and sus-
tanned a motion to postpone indefi-
nitely further consideration.
Immediately there was an appeal
from the chair. A motion on the
appeal was written in regular form,
and Crawford stepped from the ros-
trum and DoWney took charge.
The chair was carried in and
placed in front of the Speakers
stand, and it dawned on Crawford
that he had been made the victim
of a joke

Normal Business to Be
Aim at City StOckyGrds
Exchange Prepares Plan to
Continue Dealings
With Farmers.

Every effort will be made to con-
tinue normal operation of the Indi-
annapolis Livestock Exchange, R. w.
Luger, president said today.
Closing order of the Chicago ex-
change, issued Monday. later partly
was rescinded, according to local
officials, and will be ignored as far
Indianapolis is concerned.
Farmers and livestock raiSers are
urged to bring in their stocks as at
any other time and to co-oerate
with the exchange in handling
transactions.
AS outlined by j. D. Oldham, sec
rotary of the exchange, the pay
ment plan for stock sold is as fol-
lows: A bill of sale is sent to the
owner and with it a request for
agreement to deferred payment,
subject to the livestock owners APP
proval. If consent to the trans
action is given by the owner,
check is written in his favor by the
exchange and kept here, subject to
lifting of restrictions on the local
bank.
When these restrictions are lifted,
the check will be cleared in the
usual manner and the owner re-
ceive the money Cash transactions
are not affected by this proceed
ure.
According to the wording of Pres
ident Roosevelt's bank holiday proc
lamation, banks that have especially
liquid assets may be permitted to
open for limited amount of bust
ness.
The Livestock Echange bank, ow-
ing to the nature of its business, is
in an especially liquid condition,
and will be one of the first to benefit
by this measure.

Wall Street, little as it probably de-

The increase in currency will have a

The reports of the first quarter of

The poor showing of the first three

OUR FIRST SPEAKER

An article in the National Republic
gives some interesting information con-
corning the first speaker of the national
House of Representatives, an able man
whose name few of this generation ever
heard.
He was Frederick Augustus Conrad
Muhlenberg, born in Pennsylvania in
1850. the son of German pioneer a
Lutheran preacher. The son followed in
his fathers footsteps and also became n
Lutheran preacher at the early age of 20,
six years before the Declaration of In
dependence
Young Muhlenberg was staunch
supporter of the revolution, and because
Of his patriotic expressions was chased
from place to place by the British. Moth
ing dannted. he continued To preach liberty
as well as the gospel, and was elected to
the Continental Congress.
After liberty had been won and the
new constitution had been adopted.
Muhlenberg was sent to the First Congress
and was elected its first speaker. and was
subsequently speaker of the Third Con-
gress. Before going to the national Con-
gress he had served two terms as speaker
Of the Pennsylvania Legislature.
His brilliant career as preacher and
legislator came 10 an untimely end i'm
1901, when he died at the age Of 81.

SOME PAST HISTORY

Many readers of The Citizen will re-
call that back in 1907 the country ex-
perienced a financial panic due to the
same lack of sufficient currency for BUSH
ness needs.
Much has been said of this expe-
rience during the past few weeks
But little has been said of the expe-
rienee of the country during the trying
days of the beginning of the world war
in 1914.
At that time, when the storm broke,
there was disposition on the part of the
American people to rush to the banks for
cash.
But there was an anchor to win
ward.
The Federal Reserve Act was on the
statute books. 1t was only an infant, lit
tie more than year old. But it contained
a clause which saved the situation.
In the act there was provision which
permitted the Federal Reserve Bank to is
sue currency to the amount of $500, 000,-
600.
This provision was utilized and the
Federal Reserve Bank promptly issued
notes.
It was this issue of bank notes that
provided sufficient available money to
supply the first demand of the public and
when it was found that the demand was
promptly met the public was quieted.
The actual issue of the Federal Re-
serve money amounted to only $15O,0O0,-
900. A panic was averted.
Ask any banker familiar with the
facts.
