l turning to the belief that banking is really a public function rather than a private business. For instance, it is generally believed that the Federal Reserve Board clearly foresaw the wild imitation period of 1928-29. This was credit rather than a money imitation, and shows how the whole country can be turned up- side down these days without changing the amount or quality of actual money at all.
 But the Reserve Board either could not or would not Cat least 1t did not) stop the wild rush of cheap credit that helped bring oh the panic of 1929.
 If it had had more will and more power to raise interest rates, and thus curb speculative loans, it might have put brakes on the 1929 crash.
 BETTER CONTROL RESULTS
 When the banks folded up, new banking act was rushed through Congress. It gave the Federal Reserve System better control over it's member banks in any movement to issue bank credit for unsound or speculative purposes.
 It made mutual savings banks, Morris Plan banks, and industrial loan banks eligible to join the Federal Reserve. It made mem- Der banks get rid of securities and real estate business which they had been conducting in addi- tion to regular banking.
 National banks can start branches in states which permit it.. There are rules to prevent banks from helping to send money of corporations and individuals into stock market speculation. Loans to officers are prohibited. Most everybody agrees that these are Improvements; some doubt that they go far enough.
 What few people realize, how ever, is that the government is an actual stockholder in 1000 banks, more than half of them. Many see in this the first move in the governments actually talk ing over the whole banking sys- tenn.
 LOANS CAN BE INCREASED
 "It seems funny to think of the government being part owner of the new First-Fidelity bank" unused Pa Jones. ''I remember when old Colonel Smith owned the whole thing himself"
 "Of course that was done SC the banks could loan more money" John put in, land to bring some of them up to the standards required to belong to the deposit plan.

 "But one things sure," Pa Jones added. "The Senate bank investigation proved that banking is nothing for just any man who happens to have money to fool with. It's too important, not only to people who deposit their money, but to business in general because of the way it controls credit.
 'I expect there'll be plenty more reforms proposed this win- ter, including that idea of cen tral government bank like so many countries have.

REQUIESCAT
Good Evening.

REQUIESCAT '(In memory of James J. Scholar who died
 a year ago to-day.) Rest in peace, you souls who weep, He is not dead, nor yet asleep. Wheneer you see the flag raised high You see there, too his flashing eye. In etching of some friendly home You'll find his heart is catacombed. When sorrows darken lives like ours, We think of his-like April showers. Soft and gentle, soothing pain Refreshing hearts to live again. When martial music stirs the air, You'll know his feet are marching there. Natures beauty songs of birds, Re-echo to us lovely words. A friend of man, forever blest, Ben Adams name led all the rest. Rest in Peace For us it's said, For he lives on while we are dead.

The idea of downtown
