An Unprecedented Abuse ol
Financial Power
“The Federal Reserve Art was framed
by the best opinion of America for t he
purpose of giving stability to the credit
system of America, and giving u reason¬
able and stable rate of interest. The
power of the credit system in the hands
of the reserve banks is enormous and is
now being employed, not for the purpose
of stabilizing credit, but for the purpose
of deflating credits, breaking down con¬
fidence, and it is bringing on an indus¬
trial depression that may be extremely
harmful unless promptly checked.
‘‘The banks cannot be relied upon to
tade the initiative, because they are un¬
der the dominance of the reserve batiks
and the reserve board, and they would
put themselves in jeopardy if they should
dare to assail the policy of the reserve
board."
The foregoing statement made
in”the Mamifactuerers Record last
week by Senator Robert L. Owen,
to whose untiring work the Feder¬
al Reserve Bank system largely
ows its existence, is of the deepest
concern to every man in America.
Here is the direct, positive charge
of Senator Owen, himself long a
banker, that the banks of the
country do not oppose the Federal
Reserve Board because they would
jeopardize their existence if they
did.
Think of the thousands of banks
which live in such fear of the auto¬
cratic power of this Board that
they cannot, without risking sui¬
cide, voice their protest against
any policy adopted by the Board,
and we then begin to comprehend
the terrific danger to the financia
ann business interests of this
country. Indeed, such power might
in the hands of unserupluous men,
be a great menace even than all
the Bolshevistic activities in evi¬
dence everywhere.
A power so vast should not be
given to any men, even if they
were supermen, witli Divine wis¬
dom and angelic character, for
they might be succeeded by men
less Divine, less angelic. The
very creaiion of such a power
should never be permitted in a free
country.
Senator Owen has done a great
public service by stating so strong¬
ly, backed on his official position
and knowledge, that which the
Manufacturers Record has long
wained the country against. Now,
will he go further and work for the
changes needed in the Federal
Reserve Act to safeguard the
country as vigorously as he work¬
ed to create that financial systen?
The germ of good banking is in
the system, but there are many evil
germs which need to be eradicated
for the country’s safty.—Manufac
surers Record.

ber 21, Henry Ford announces a
cut in the price of Ford cars,trucks
and tractors to pre-war prices.
“The war is over, and it’s time
war prices were over.” said Mr.
Ford. “There is no sense or wis¬
dom in trying to maintain an arti¬
ficial standard of values. For the
best interests of all it is time that a
real, practical effort was made to
bring the business of the country
and the life the country down to
normal. There will be no change
in wages.”
Edsel Ford,president of the Ford
Motor Company, announced that
the following prices will apply to
Ford cars and tractors:

EX-SERVICE MEN
ATTENTION
State headquarters of the Amer
ican Legion are .projecting (^cam¬
paign in connection 'with the Red
Cross and the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance to reach all ex-service
men in Georgia with a view to aid¬
ing them in any claims they might
have for compensation, dental work
medical attention, back pay,refund
on sums collected for Liberty bonds
and such other claims as they might
have. These agencies will make
special efforts to inform ex-service
men and their families ol their ex¬
isting rights and to bring to their
attention immediately such rights
as may accrue to them under the
passade of future legislation. Of
paramount importance at the pres¬
ent time are their rights under the
War Risk Insurance act and under
the laws providing for vocational
training, etc. They especially de¬
sire to correct the erroneous im¬
pression that July tst, 1920, was
the last day on which they might
reinstate government insurance.
Active and aggressive campaigns
will be instituted throughout the
entire State throughout the differ¬
ent posts of the American Legion
posts of the State to inform every
ex-service man and his family ex¬
actly what they are entitled to at
the present time and to provide,
free of any charge whatever, the
machinery by which these rights
may be secured.
Officials of the American Legion
together with officials of the Amer¬
ican Red Cross held a conference
with John II. Folsom, special rep¬
resentative of the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance in Atlanta on last
Monday, at which time plans were
discussed for this campaign. These
plans will be given out for publica¬
tion immediately after they have
been perfected.
The prime purpose of this cam¬
paign, which is put on through
the American Legion po.-ts of the
State, is to render a genuine ser¬
vice to ex-soldiers, sailors and ma¬
rines whether members of the Le¬
gion or not. It is hoped that every
man will avail himself of the bene¬
fits to be derived from the untiring
efforts of the Legion, the Red
Cross and the War Risk Insurance

Land Sales ol Special Interest
Next Tuesday and Wednesday
Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week will witness perhaps the
greatest land sale in she history of
White County. For this sale has
been selected property to suit all
tastes and needs. The W.H.House
farm is situated just outside the
corporate limits of Cleveland. The
John Warwick farm is near Leaf
and is in one of the best cotton sec¬
tions of the county. The Kenimer
farm is also in this section and is
no less desirable. The W.A. Dan
forlh tract is three miles north of
Cleveland. This property is also
known as the Longstreet property,
having been purchased many years
ago as a gold mine. There has
been some farming done on this
property, but not extensively, al¬
though there is on this tract some
very fine farming land of the best
quality known in this section of
Georgia. The timber lias been
jealously preserved en this tract, as
is always the case with mining
companies, and it is estimated on
this property a saw mill would pro¬
duce a million and a half feet of
pine and oak lumber.
In the division of these large
tracts of land, it gives the man of
small means an opportunity to pur¬
chase a home whereon lie may
dwell the remainder of Iffs life,tak¬
ing an interest in the upbuilding of
his farm and the devotion of his
life to the welfare of his family and
his country. In other words, the
itgnan who Owns his own home
Creates peace and prosperity around
• him.
