12 TTTT: ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT NEWS. FLAWS IN THE New York Banker Says Advan tages Claimed for New System Are Distinctly Negative. CHICAGO, Auk. 22.—Criticism of the Wilson Administration’s currency bill, as expressed his afternoon by A. Barton Hepburn, chairman of the board of the Chase National Bank 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 hoards of the Fed eral reserve hanks are discriminated against and kept in the minority. Banks are obliged to furnish the capital; they are deprived of even approximate control." Credit Control—"Although under the Federal control, banks can loan to none but the member banks, and may not be in funds to loan to them, yet they are required to fix and pub lish the rate 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?” Bank Investments—"For the Gov ernment to specifically direct banks to make certain Investments is an invasion of the held 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 the 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 hanks, 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 hanks, 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. So 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 •hould be one of helpfulness, not hin drance.” Directorate Clause Causes Bitter Fight.

An Ohio druggist writes to “ The Practical Druggist," a prominent New York Drug 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.
