JERRY 0'(0NNELL
PROPOSES FEDERAL
BANK OWNERSHIP

Congressman Jerry j. O'Connell
of the First District of Montana has
announced that the local bank must
be protected, and Capitalization of
money and credit prevented, there
fore, he is in favor of the govern
ment owning the twelve Federal Re-
serve 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 prac-
ticable date that will take the
money-issuing privilege away from
Federal Reserve Banks and place it
in the government as the Constitu-
ton of the United States requires;
that he is assisting in the preparation
Of such a bill, and will be a 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 de-
f%lationary o inflationary; will pre-
vent a few large banks from con-
trolling our monetary system to the
extent of causing booms and depres-
sions when desired, and will be a
source of considerable revenue to the
United States government; that all
of the $4,000 banks, members of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora
ton, will have the benefit Of the
great services and facilities of the
II Federal Reserve Banks the same
as the 1000 member banks now en-
joying such service.
Our group is working night and
day preparing a bill to carry out u
purpose" says Congressman O'Con-
nell, 'and when it is presented" he
said, Il feel sure that it will meet
with the approval of all the people
who understand the monetary ques-
ton 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
own assets equal to the value of the
assets owned by the other 14,925
banks, and these banks have inter-
locking arrangements with 594 COR
porations that own one-half the
corporate wealth of the entire ma
ton" said the Congressman.

OFFICE EQUIPMENT co.
DESCRIBES MACHINES

The office of the Office Equip
ment Company at rs w. Granite St.,
Butte, is one of those small but com
pact marts of trade wherein are
shown business machines IMPLYING
the advanced trend of American
commercial activity. The firm spe-
cializes in monographs and dicta-
phones.
It must be stated that up-to-date
mimeographing machines are mar
vels of efficiency. Remarkable du-
plications can be made upon these
devices in a small amount of time.
sketches of persons and objects may
be made, letters run off in very
artistic style.
There is another device in this
office which is very interesting
namely the dictaphone. The en-
ployer in an office, if he chooses
may dictate into this instrument
levers are attached which permit
him to make corrections or to alter
the substance of the dictation and tc
do other innumerable things. The
stenographer may then, when she
comes to work, turn on the power
and the masters voice is returned to
her exactly as it was given. Both
the names Monograph and dicta-
phone are registered and cannot be
used on otter similar machines.
Harry G. Edsall. is manager of this
office and shows a complete famil-
iarity in demonstrating the equip
ment. He has been engaged Is years
in this type Of work, beginning with
the Calkins company when it was
on Main Street. The Office Equip
ment Company does not do mimeo-
graph work but merely is an office
for the sale of monographs, dicta-
phones and other office instruments

WHAT INDUSTRIAL
MOBILIZATION MEANS

The Sheppard Hill Bill would not
equalize the burdens of war. On
the n hand, it would allow indus
try 5 per cent of its war profits-in
addition to all its normal profits
and would provide certain penalties
-unenforceable, if we judge by the
last warm case big business re-
fused to cooperate. On the other
hand it would draft men, ~conscript
labor, fix wages, suspend collective
bargaining, and do away with all the
other safeguards which labor has
built up for itself.
