New York Banker Says Advan
tages Claimed for New System
Are Distinctly Negative.
CHICAGO. Aug 22 Criticism of
the Wilson Administration s currency
bill, ns expressed his afternoon by A
Barton Hepburn, chairman of the
board of the Chase National Hank of
New York, In an address as chairman
of the conference from the Currency
Committee of the American Bankers'
Association, In session here, may be
summarized as follows:
Bank Control—"The men whose
training and experience would seem
to qualify them for the administra
tion of respective boards of the Fed
eral reserve hanks are discriminated
against and kept in the minority.
Hanks are obliged to furnish the
capital; they are deprived of even
approximate control."
Credit Control—"Although under
the Federal control, banks c an loan
to none hut the member hanks, and
may not be In funds to loan to them,
yet they are required to fix and pub
lish the rale of discount."
Sees Ruinous Competition.
Savings Banks—"If compelled to
apportion capital and reserve to
their savings hank business, may it
not induce national banks to give up
that class of business? Is that the
purpose?”
eank Investments—"For the Gov
ernment to specifically direct banks
to make certain Investments Is an
invasion of the field of credit, and
something no other nation has ever
done "
Redemption of Note Issues—"This
provision making the Government
responsible for the notes which the
banks are to Issue violates the prin
ciples of economics and contravenes
* he experience of the great commer
cial nations."
Reserves—"The requirement that
certain amounts must be kept with
the new regional reserve banks
purely as a reserve will curtail the
loaning power of the absorbing
banks.
Regional Reserve Banks—"Will
there not naturally and Inevitably
be competition between the regional
reserve banks, competition between
the twelve sections of the country,
and may we not in the end have
competition for cash holdings be
tween individual banks added to the
competition of section against sec
tion. reserve bank against reserve
bank ?"
Land Credit Banks Needed.
Mortgage Loans—"One great need
of the country Is mortgage or land
credit banks, but should they not be
separately organized and separately
managed Institutions?”
Advantages of Proposed System—
"They are difficult to find and seem
to be of a distinctly negative char
acter. Ho far as the regional re
serve banks are competitors with
the banks for business. Is it not go
ing too far to compel the banks to
contribute one-fifth of their capital
In order to create competition?"
The earnestness with which the
Administration has taken up the cur
rency bill was worthy of praise. Hep
burn said, and he noted the fact that
the subject and the many obstacles
encountered In Its consideration had
rendered the task of accomplishing
legislation very great.
“Our attitude,” he said, 'Ms and
should be one of helpfulness, not hin
drance."
Directorate Clause
Causes Bitter Fight.
WASHINGTON, Aug 21.—The
Democratic caucus of the House found

the question of prohibiting interlock
ing directorates in banks under the

ment to the bill offered by Represen
tative Neeley, of Kansas, was under
consideration. This amendment was
taken directly from the report of the
money trust investigation commit
tee. *
Many prominent Democrats of the
House, while agreeing that there
should be genera? legislation of some
sort to prevent interlocking direc
torates. said they did not believe the
proposition should be placed In the
currency 1*111.

Organizations Going After That
Thousand Dollars in Gold First
Prize in Want Ad Contest.
A dozen or more churches, lodges
and other organizations are in the
game to win that $1,000 in gold of- |
fered as first organization prize in
The Sunday American and Atlanta
Georgian Want Ad Contest and loy
al members are preparing for a live
campaign.
The introduction of coupon books,
hearing coupons good for classified
advertising, is proving a great help
to contestants, as they are finding it
easy to sell these convenient books
to friends, neighbors and business
folk. A business man uses many col
umns of American and Georgian clas
sified advertising in the course of a
month, and they are glad to purchase
coupon books from their friends and
pay their bills in these coupons.
Several other organizations are
planning entering the contest this
week, and they will have as good
start as any, for the campaign is Just
getting under way. That $1,000 in
gold can be used to advantage by any
church or lodge, for every organiza
tion needs an addition to a building,
n fund for some special purpose, or
has some use for the money. And
even the second prize, $500 worth of
furniture selected by the winner, is
well worth trying for.
Individuals are enthusiastic work
ers in the contest, too. They have
twenty prizes all their own, besides
the two grand prizes of a five-pas
senger automobile and a double tour
to California. And they do not come
in competition with the organizations.
The Contest Manager is ready to
see all contestants or prospective con
testants in his offices, fourth floor
Foote & Davies Building, Edgewood
avenue and North Pryor street. He
will supply coupon books and infor
mation to details.
The Danger of Imitations.
An Ohio druggist writes to “ The Practical Druggist,” a prominent New York
Drag Journal, as follows: “ Please furnish formula for Castoria. All the formulas
I have worked with are either ineffective or disagreeable to administer.”
To this “The Practical Druggist” replies: “We do not supply formulas for
proprietary articles. We couldn’t if we wanted to. His experience with imitative
formulas is not surprising, but just what is to be expected. When Castoria is
wanted, why not supply the genuine. If you make a substitute, it is not fair or
right to label it Castoria. We can give you all sorts of laxative preparations for
Children, but not Castoria, and we think a mother who asks for Castoria would not
feel kindly toward you if you gave her your own product under such a name.”
No mother with a spark of affection for her child will overlook the signa
ture of Chas. H. Fletcher when buying Castoria.
