| the board
Has Wider Latitude
These rules may be the same as
IN the case of brokers. But the
board has a wider latitude in the
case of persons, corporations and
banks than in the case of brokers.
Inc Reserve Board has prescribed
margins which brokers may extend.
But these same limitations have not
been applied to the banks
In 1896, when Germany made it's
1lrSt move to regulate the stock and
commodity exchanges, the attempt
went on the rocks chiefly on this
very omission. All margins were
forbidden to brokers. But traders
mad only to buy their shares for
cash on the exchanges and borrow
the money directly from the banks,
instead of through brokers.
Banks Monopolize Business
In short time a large part of
the stock business of Berlin was
centered in the two big brokers
banks there. The banks. getting
such an enormous number of buv
and sell orders, were able to match
OIL their buy and sell commissions.
1t was then merely necessary to
clear through the stock exchange
the unmatched orders.
The exchanges business was
greatly reduced and the rules against
margins were rendered trifling.
How far this went may be seen from
the fact that in 1896 cash transac-
tons of the two brokers' banks
amounted to 6,950,00O marks, while
after the law was passed and in eff
feet few years, they rose to 1885,
585, 900 marks.
1t is said that the big banks are
not engaged in this business; but
that only few smaller banks have
entered the field here. But where
there is such an opportunity we
may be sure it will be used.

GLASS FACING
/ ODD FIGHT IN
VIRGINIA
international News Service

Political war is brewing within
The Democratic camps of Virginia,
and involves the congressional
career of the Old Dominion's vet
eran Senator, Carter Glass.
For the first time in years, when
Virginia goes to the polls in the
Democratic primary next August,
Senator Glass will have an oppo-
, nent. Randolph Leigh, a native
Tennesseean who now lives in Nc
Lean, Va, has launched a cam
paign seeking Senator Glass seat.
Mr.. Leigh has announced his
candidacy on a straight Roosevelt
ticket-and Senator Glass sur
prisingly countered with the an
nouncement that he, too, is sup,
porter of the President.
Mr.. Leigh apparently entered
the lists because Senator Glass
opposed the Administration on a
number of issues during the last
session of Congress, leading some
to believe that he did not whole
heartedly support the Roosevelt
regime. State leaders assert pri
vately that Mr.. Leigh felt that
Senator Glass was in no sense an
Administration candidate, and
planned to stump the State him
self on the Roosevelt record.
Then Senator Glass threw
something of a bombshell when
In Richmond recently, he advised
the Young Democrats that he an6
the President were fast friends
He frankly said he believed 8
man should vote his individual
convictions on specific issues, but
added that he had an affection
ate regard for the President, and
knew that this regard was mu
tual.
In this fashion, the veteran
Senator has apparently tunnellec
beneath Mr.. Leigh's platform
State leaders say there Is little
doubt Of the outcome, in favor
Of Senator Glass, but Mr.. Leigh
has no intention of giving w
the ship. He is not without
money, and intends to wage ar
intensive campaign.
The opposition of Mr.. Leigh
marks the first time Senator
Glass has faced a fight of any
proportions since he came tt
Congress in 1904. He has served
continuously since then in Con
greSs, with the exception Of the
period when he was Secretary oi
the Treasury during the admin

ernor Merriam to invite Huey Long TO
come and address a joint meeting of the

program.
IF Longs program is practicable"

legislature to bring it to the attention
of the people of this state, but if it is i'm
practicable, unsound and visionary.
genuine service would be performed if it
were exposed and discredited before it
makes formidable number of converts

Perhaps we should be charitable and
credit Mr. Donihue land eight others
with sincerity in wishing to have Longs
plan explained to them, but if so we must
consider them extremely dumb if they re-
quire closeup view to judge Longs
program.
No man knows better than Huey Long
that his plan is entirely impracticable,
for Long is a smart, clever man even if
he is also a clown and boor He is
smart enough to know that it is some
thing that will attract the attention Of
the ignorant and seekers-of-something
for-nothing, there being millions of both
classes in the nation. Their votes are as
good as those of college professors or
millionaires and there are more of them-
Votes and power are what Long is after
and it does not require a closeup view to
find that out.
Mr.. Donihue land eight others would
never think of inviting the dust storms of
the middle west here to find out wheth-
er or not they are desirable; they would
not wish to bring in the corn borer, the
Mediterranean fruit fly or the hoof and
mouth disease germ to learn by close ex-
animation if they are something we want
or something we want to avoid.
These afflictions of nature are not to
be considered nearly as dangerous to the
