O'COnnell Working on
New Banking Law

WASHINGTON, d. Congressman
Jerry j. O'Connell of the First district
of Montana has announced that the
local bank must be protected, and CEN
tralization of money and credit pre-
vented, therefore, he is in favor of the
government owning the twelve federal
reserve banks, and that he is now a
member of the first congressional group
that has ever been organized for the
purpose of securing the passage of a
law at the earliest practicable date that
will take the money-issulng privilege
away from federal reserve banks and
place it in the government as the con
stitution of the United States requires;
that he is assisting in the preparation
of such a bill, and will be co-author.
Congressman O'Connell says that
private corporations {banks) should
not be permitted to own the central
bank of issue, which permits them to
use the Governments credit free Of
charge. that when the proposed law is
enacted it will be neither deflationary
nor inflationary. will prevent few
large banks from controlling our none
tary system to the extent of causing
booms and depressions when desired,
and will be a source Of considerable
revenue to the United States Govern
ment; that all of the $4,000 banks, mem
bers Of the Federal Deposit Insurance
corporation, will have the benefit of
the great services and facilities of
the IL federal reserve banks the same
as the 1000 member banks now enjoy
ing such service.
Our group is working night and day
preparing bill to carry out our pur-
pose,' says Congressman O'Connell
and when it is presented he said, i
feel sure that it will meet with the
approval of all the people who under
stand the monetary question as well as
the smaller banks of the country that
are in danger of being squeezed out and
branch banks established in their stead
if this law does not pass"
"Seventy-five large banks now owr
assets equal to the value of the assets
owned by the other 14,925 banks, and
these banks have interlocking arrange
ments with 594 corporations that owr
one-half the corporate wealth of the
entire nation" said the congressman.

New Bridge Would Be
Convenience, Save Money

Considerable interest has been
arounsed by the possibility that the
county might build bridge at War
land, in cooperation with the forest
service. Several have expressed them
selves as much in favor of the project.
A l. Thompson of Libby is one who
says ii would be good business for the
county 20 build the bridge. He cites
the great convenience it would be to
the public. Il we'll remember one
spring when I waited nearly three
hours before it was safe to cross the
river on the ferry because of the big
blocks of ice that were running in the
river. There is a time each spring
when high water also makes crossing
of the river dangerous. and OF course
every winter, when the river is frozen
over, the ferry is out of commission.
A bridge at that point would eliminate
both the danger and the inconvenience.
Inasmuch as the bridge can be built
without any increase in taxes, can
see no reason why anyone should OBJ
1Cdl VI 1t, Sdiu 1iitititctis
AS stated by this newspaper last
week, the forest service has agreed to
build bridge across the Kootenai at
Warland costing about $4,000 il the
county will furnish the steel, which
will cost about $4,000. The county
commissioners have done lot of figdr-
ing and have concluded the $4,000 can
be paid off by the county without any
increase in taxes. One mill taken from
the bridge fund will provide more than
enough to do that And after the fer
fies at Warland and Ural are discon-
tinued, there will be saving in that
respect of about $500 a year. A
bridge would also make NOR acces-
sible body of timber
If the commissioners decide to go
ahead with the project it will be neces-
sary to call bond election to authorize
the floating of the bonds. The COM
missioners wish an expression of opin-
ion by the taxpayers in regard to the
project That is why they are placing
the matter before the public at this
time.
