BANKING BILL
SEEN HELP TO
POLITICAL ENDS
Proposed Law Would Force
Banks to Take More u. S.
Bond Issues.
BY JULES BACHNIAN AND
A. L. JACKSON


BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, Feb. ga reader
asks: Isn't 1t a fact that there are
weak spots in our banking structure
which require strengthening and
that the proposed bill will perform
this task2" The question contains a
partial truth. in that there is no
doubt that certain reforms must be
made in our banking structure.
However. the proposed banking act
Of 1885 does not provide the neces-
sary corrections.
The introduction of this bill indi-
Gates that the Administration has
not abandoned its attempt to force
recovery by means of monetary
manipulation. The essence of the
new bill is to make possible further
imitation. which it is hoped will
bring recovery.
Seen as Protection
OF course, the control provided
for also would insure that, regard
less of what might happen, there
would be a market for new govern
ment securities. The Treasury has
had no difficulty in marketing its
issues to date and will probably
have none in the immediate future.
However, it is not unlikely that
the time will come when real diff
fculty might be faced in floating
new securities. This is especially
true if the present orgy of spending
Is continued. Against that distant
possibility of difficulty in raising
new funds this bill also will provide
protection.
A banking bill of this nature is
not needed. If any reforms are to
be maze in banking system would
it not be more avisable to try to
create a sound banking system and
not a political machine? Certain
reforms are needed in our banking
structure. but this bill does not pro-
vide for them.

Lightner "They bring to me the ghost
of man who was always fleeing from
the wind, man who one night, in the
middle of vaudeville skit, confessed
to me that he was murderer.
From the day this man, who was
called 'Sloe," joined our company,
gusts of wind seemed to sweep across
the theater whenever our company
played.

through the stage entrance because OF
the slamming of doors and rush OF
air which seemed to sweep across the
stage and to rush down the halls and
through the dressing rooms.
'He never left a door open behind
him. 1t seemed that almost without
his help, doors slammed behind him.
People in the company who crossed
his path declared that he seemed al
ways to walk in wind and that when
he would rush away from them, they
all agreed that the wind would seem
to die away as if it followed him, and
that, moreover, the sweet odor which
seemed to fill the wind which followed
him would die out, too.
Every one around him grew to
dread and fear his presence.

trifle and had buried her in the gar

to make things worse, it would be
wise to try this:

that you can measure and regulate
as to dose. AS necessary to repeat,
take smaller doses, less and less often,
until the bowels are moving without
any help at all.
Doctors use liquid laxatives, and
a properly prepared liquid laxative,
containing natural laxative agents
like SIENNA and cascara is Joy and
a comfort; a real help in establishing
regularity. Ask your doctor about
