Il is supposed to represent wealth

times Of depression. The ex-

Ing representative Of Wall Street.
TEW people in the financial dis
Il trict expect Mr.. Gay to make
much Of a fight for the presidency
Of the big buying and selling place.
His public announcement indl-
Gated as much. He seemed TO
have been fattered that he was
being so seriously considered, but
he was not disposed TO say or DO
anything which might hurt the
chances for reelection OF the
present incumbent.
and his seeming attitude is not
At all surprising. Although Jo-
seph p. kennedy. chairman Of the
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion. may set the pace in the mat
ter Of rule making for the eX-
change. he is not the man who
wears the iron hat when cit comes
to dispensing Wall Street favOrS 20
white-haired boys or netting out
punishment to those who decline TO
play the game. That privilege still
rests with a famous banking house,
and Mr.. Whitney is very well re-
garded by that banking house.
The insurgent group on the ex-
change undoubtedly has made con-
siderable progress. but this program
has been made for the most part
by way Of Washington. The on
the-fencers. however. have been
rather reluctant 10 throw their
weight 10 the side Of this group for
fear Of reprisals later on, and it is
largely because of this that the
bows are laying such good odds on
Mr.. Whitney.
A GREAT many of the exchange
N member firms are indebted to
certain important banks for past
and current financial favOrs. And
they haven't a very definite idea OF
when the brokerage business will
improve sufficiently to make them
as independent as they might like
to be.
And then. again. Mr.. Whitney is
looked upon in most Wall Street
quarters as being a mighty fine and
capable fellow. Those who criti-
else are inclined. for the most part,
to blame the exchanges lawyers
and publicistS for its rough treat
ment in Washington. COnse-
quently. when it comes time TO

may not seem to have been so far
out OF line.

Bankers Are Opposed

These changesc are opposed by
the American Bankers Association,
as we'll as by the American Liberty
League. which contend they will
tend to create a political banking
system" subject to the whims of
the party in power.
Past experience of all nations"
says the Liberty League, proves
that a government should not be in
a position to dominate a central
banking system. Too close an al
lance encourages policies which
ray be helpful for immediate needs
Of a treasury. but give encourage
laent to initiation and in the long
run are injurious to industry and
agriculture"
This represents the viewpoint of
big bankers.
Likewise they oppose the power
granted the President TO end the
term Of the Federal Reserve Board
governor at his pleasure.
Big bankers severely criticise sew
eral other provisions OF the Dill.
Eccles Defends Provisions
One would repeal the requirement
for 100 per cent collateral in eligible
paper behind Federal Reserve note
issues, though retaining the 40 per
cent gold backing. To charges that
this proposal is infationary. Gov
ernor Eccles replies that it does
not mean that notes will be issued
without adequate backing. 1t is
merely doing away with an obso-
lete requirement. he says, since
Federal Reserve notes are an obliga-
ton Of the United States and have
a prior lien on all assets Of the Fed
eral Reserve banks.
Another criticised provision would

McAdoO Forced Control


temper the storm Of depression.
Champions of the Federal Re-
serve System contend that the rea-
son it did not operate in the public
interest was that it abdicated its
independent role and was subservi-
ent to an Administration whose pol
icies we're ll-advised. 1t has been
charged, and it has been true often,
that the Treasury dominated the
Federal Reserve Board.
Undeterred by this school of
thought. champions of a real CEN
trail banking system would give the
government complete control, and
trust to the people to elect a Presi-
dent who would manage it for the
common welfare.
Soon after its creation the Fed
eral Reserve System came entirely
under the thumb of the Treasury.
This was during the World War. At
one point, when the system sought
to display independence, Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo was report
ed to have threatened to take over
the gold reserve and all the funds
in the banks. Central control was
inevitable in the emergency of war.
Similarly, the Roosevelt Admins
tration gradually has moved toward
Capitalization in the present emer-
gency.
Mariner S. Eccles, governor of
the Federal Reserve Board, would
carry this gradually further in the
pending banking bill, while Father
Coughlin and his followers would
achieve it in one bold stroke by
creating supreme central bank
with absolute power over banking,
currency and credit.

CITY HELP TO

High Price of p & B is
Given as Need for

Flowing under every other row
of pigs is causing a squeal that can
be heard even in Kennewick, far
as it is from the nations capital.
The high price of pork, and beans,
and bread and this and that has

with their proposal to acquire the
city's domestic water system, items
for materials for the park as well
as the regular routine operating ex-
penses.

MAY GET RIVER
BANK PARKED
Clean Up and Parking on
Bank Figured for
Relief Work

Kennewick has one scenic advan-
tage that practically no other town
in the state has and yet no effort
has been made to take advantage
Of it. That is the Identification of
the river bank along the highway
through town.
As it is now the bank is overgrown
with willows and most of the scenic
value is hidden from the passerby
Practically no effort has been made
to take advantage Of the situation
Ex-councilman Geo. Hartje has put
in couple Of rows Of trees along
his property on the river bank and
the contrast between that portion
and the unimproved section is real
ly startling.
The first move to correct this ne
glect was taken last week when
Claude Moran, district director OF
WPA met here with the local plan
ming council to consider projects
under the winters relief program
MIR. Moran was greatly pleased with
the project and stated that his Of
fee would send an engineer here
in the near future to plan the i'm
provement, which, If approved, will
be submitted to the state depart
ment.
The project is practically unlim-
tied In scope. Even a little clearing
Of the obstructing growth would
make great improvement, but Mr..
Moran intimated that a niue h
greater project could be worked out
and really fine Improvement un-
dertaken. This work would be done
at no local cost, being handled en-
tirely through the Works Progress
Administration, through the Yal1i-
ma office.

MANY HEAR OF
DETAILS ABOUT.
NEW SCHOOL.
Election on Proposition to be
Held Wednesday of Next
Week at City Hall from one
till Eight o'clock

Details of the plans and method
of financing the proposed new
school building were discussed at a
meeting of representative citizens
at the high school Tuesday night
of this week: About fifty were pres
emit and listened to the questions
regarding the situation and the pro-
ponents of the plan feel that they
were able to convince nearly every
one present of the advantages of
the deal. b..
DR.. Spaulding acted as chairman
of the meeting and explained the
situation from the health angle
and pointed out the dangers of con-
tinuing to hold sessions in the
Washington building. He also call
ed attention to the overcrowded
condition of the high school rooms,
classes occupying rooms designed
for one-third the number now be-
ing handled.
Details of the need for the addi-
tional space were explained as well
as as well as the advantages to be
gained from providing adequate
facilities for the classes and for
further expansion.
Cost of caring for the overflow
classes in outside buildings, the
prospect for further expansion in
case the new building is not voted,
and the increased allowances from
the state providing the Junior high
school setup was adopted were also
gone into in detail ALI these angles
were given full explanation and
brought out many points which
most of those present had not been
aware of previously.
Most of the questions which are
ordinarily not understood were
brought out and satisfactory ans
wers were given.
The election will be held at the
City hall on Wednesday of next
week, where the polls will be open
from one o'clock until eight. All
qualified electors in the school dis
trict, regardless of the precinct in
which they live, will be permitted
TO vote.

Mrs. Days Query Is
Answered

The question raised last week
by Mrs. Ada Day regarding her
inability to register for the
school election was referred to
County Attorney G. L. Holcomb.
He pointed out the fact that the
city clerk is only on duty half
of each day and on that par
ticular day was i'll and unable
to come to the office. Being I'M
able to secure a competent per-
son to act as deputy for that
day, no provision was made for
registering. -
However, that fact would not
invalidate the election, Mr.. Hol-
comb stated, unless it sould be
shown that such vote would
change the result of the election.

New Game Birds are
Let Loose i'm County

Announcement was made today
by the Washington state department
OF game that 200 melanistic mutant
pheasants were liberated in Ben
ton county this week.
Reared to an age of nine weeks
at the South Tacoma game farm,
the mutant pheasants are in ex-
celent condition for their trip here
according to Harry Watson, local
game protector.
The mutant pheasant is of dark
er plumage and slightly larger in
size than the ringneck china pleas
ant. The mutant has one character
lstlc very much liked by hunters,
namely, that it will "hold' under
the dogs, not being as likely as the
rngneck china to scamper through
grass to brush cover. When flushed
the mutant gains height sooner
than the china.
Half OF the bunch was liberated
near Benton City, Mr.. Watson said
ana the rest on the Highlands near
Kennewick.

Vest and Stretch Necks at
High Buildings; Gea to Eat
with Spell Binders

The two Scouts, Wayne Smalley
and Lowell Higley, who returned last
week end from their trip east were
asked to give us a short account of
some feature of their trip. It fol-
lows, but there is a lot of exper-
fences which they have not set
down. They fell, as do others who
are familiar with the details of the
trip, that it furnished an educa-
tional value equal at least to year
in college. The broadening effect
of their visit will be felt in the flu
ture activitie sof each of these
youths, beyond doubt, and the coun-
try will benefit by their experiences.
The letter printed below, tells of
their visit to the nations capital
only. A review of their entire trip
would occupy too much space.
We arrived in Washington, DC,
a little before noon. Our party was
escorted by Jamboree guides through
the new Supreme court building.
We went up the famous Pennsyl-
vania Avenue to the capitol. In the
capitol we visited the senate and the
house of representatives. Our din
ner was eaten in the capitol Many
high government officials were
there.
After completing our tour thru
the capitol we went through the
federal bureau of Investigation. In
j. Edgar Hoover's office we saw
plaster of paris mask of John
Dillinger; also his straw hat, guns,
bullet-proof vest and other articles
that belonged to him. In the same
room were guns and other possess
sions of Clyde Barrow.
On another floor of this building
were fingerprint files of several
million people. They are not all
criminals. Many are loyal ana hon.

We were far behind our time

HELP ON
TONSIL CASES
Sixty-Eight Kids Go To
Hospital for Minor
Operations

The Benton county health de-
partment has been very active this
summer. In June the county adj
visory health council moved to
spend the summer concentrating
on tonsil clinics. Meetings were held
by the local committees in Prosser,
Benton City, Hanford, White Bluffs
Richland, Kennewick and Finley
Hover.
At these committee meetings the
various clubs were asked to assist
in transportation and in some cases
financially. In Richland, the newly
organized Legion Post contributed
$3.50 to the tonsil fund, while the
Kennewick Highland Grange gave
$3.50. The Legion Auxiliary in Ken
newick, $3.50. Transportation was
furnished for those needing it in
Richland, White Bluffs, Hanford
and Benton City.
Prosser clubs were closed for the
summer months so were unable to
assist financially; however, individ-
ual members gave their services.
The result was that total of IS
diseased tonsils and adenoids were
removed thruout the county.
During the month of August the
nurse reports the following new pa
tients cared for: medical, So; pre-
natal, q; postnatal q; child welfare

come of the threatened war between
Ethiopia and Italy will be just as

sell Tuesday noon in an address TO
mint meeting of the Kennewick
and Pasco Kiwanis clubs here.
Mrs. Russell is the wife OF mis-
sionary to Ethiopia, where her nus
hand has been stationed for fifteen
years. She is home on a visit to
her parents who live at Grandview,
Int she plans to return soon to join
her husband. ~
Mrs. Russell told of the country,
the people, languages, customs, re-
ligion and the probable reason for
italy wanting to conquer the dis
trict. She talked for half an hour
at the meeting which was excep-
tionally well attended, and then
was kept longer afterward answer
ing questions.
The first question was "Why does
Italy want to conquer Ethiopian"
The answer to that was that UNI
doubtedly she wanted the coun-
try for expanding colonization, al
tho there is great variety of min
erals undeveloped in that area.
Mrs. Russell explained that the
lowlands toward the sea were worth
less, but that the high plateau on
which most of the ten million peo-
pie lived, with a salubrious district,
