Associate Editor Entered at the Postoffice at Marietta, Ga. as Sec ond Class Matter. —PUBLISHED BY— fhe Marietta Publishing Company Official Organ of Cobh County. . Marietta, Ga., April 10, 1914, E’ WASHINGTON GOSSIP. ig “Yes,"” I heard a man say the other day, “Atlanta got the Regional Bank. I don’t know what a Regional Bank is, but Atlanta got it.” * * * * Well, the Regional Bank is about ten times as important to Atlanta as the Capitol, and 1 don't think 1 would be exazgerating if I said twen ty times as important. The deci sion of the Organization Committee in Washington te locate one of the twelve banks in Atlanta has put At lanta on the financial map as no thing else could have done. The Currency Bill provided for dividing the country into not less than eight nor more than twelve Rn serve Districts, with a Regional Re serve Bank in each district. These banks will be owned by the banks of respective districts and their princi pal business will be making loans to the member banks and discounting bank paper. In addition to having for this pur pose the reserve deposits of the mem ber banks anfl the Government’s de posits they will have the Reserve Currency provided by the Currency Bill; so that there will always bhe vlenty of currency hercalter for all legitimate needs. The Regional Bank will not do business except witn banks. * * *® - The Regional Bank in Atlanta will be the money reservoir for Geor gia, Florida, Alabama, Eastern Ten nessee, part of Mississippi and Louis iana, including the city of New Or leans. The capital of the bank will be about five million dollars and possibly more as State banks join in the system. ) There will be other banks in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cleveland, St. Louis, Kansas City, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Dallas, Texas, and Richmond, Virginia. Some estimates place the number of persons to be employed in the At lanta bank at eight hundred or a thousand. It does not seem possible that there could be use for so many. As there will be provided seven hundred and fifty million dollars of Reserve currency for the use of these banks in time of need it will be im possible to bring about another panic in this couatry and no bank that is solvent need ever close its doors for lack of femds. Such is the effect of the Currency Bill which the Demoecrats have pass ed. * * * * As soon as the Currency bill was passed Atlanta went after a Regional Bank. It was unthinkable that the Gate City would not get what she went after. But Atlanta came very near to receiving a most terrific jolt. I know absolutely that if the matter had been decided a month ago Louis ville or Cincinnati would have been selected instead of Atlanta. The showing that Atlanta made when the Committee was there was not sufficiently impressive and when Senator Hoke Smith reached Wash ington after having attended Sena tor Bacon’s funeral he prepared a brief made up along lines of his owan. It showed that Georgia was clearly entitled to the bank, and that the Southeastern states should have a bank. But just as the Senator got his brief ready he went to bed with P | v 7 Q.‘) ' iy 7z ¥ e s bt 'W,//'/I)//% ;{.{o‘& &> %()%‘_3‘ i e N ) 2?8 RS S 7 7, &0 O lAY e ; 3 W), % 27/ o : : ' ‘ . - - A %’/74/’/% f;,/ u‘\ j\\'\x Y Q‘\ \_Gt\ / S 6 L 4 .. 2, %/ LA S \“jx"/ Q{V\:‘\‘A 1l K R AL 3. & ZHN \\\\ S \ 09; y 60‘@,_4\»”/ i’ .

Sec retary Houston, a member of the Committee was also sick. The Sena tor was uneasy for fear the matter would be decided before he could get out and sent message after message to Secretary McAdoo and Comptrol ler Williams pleading Atlanta’s case. When the Senator was able to leave his house Washington was covered with snow and it was snowing every day or two but he kept his big lim ousine car busy, even going to the White House and spending an hour with President Wilson, whose inter est he enlisted in behalf of the great cotton growing section stretching from Mississippi to the Atlantic. So strongly did he press the claims of his section that he was finally told he need not worry any mora. Atlanta has the bank. The next big fight in the Senate will be over the bill passed some days ago in the House repealing the pro vision allowing American Coastwise vessels to pass free through the Pan ama Canal. ; Let me explain that the last Con gress passed a law that these vessels, passing only between our own ports, should go through the canal free, It seemed all right at the time but on further reflection there were two objections raised: First, that there is no justice in allowing privately vessels to use this Government-owned property free, and second, European Governments protest that our treaty provides that all vessels shall be treated alike. The transcontinental railroads very justly protest that this form of subsidy should not be given to their competitors. It is a fact, too, that the interest on bonds and operation of the Canal will amount to nearly twenty mil lion dollars a year and it will take sixteen million tons of freight to pay this expense. As there will not be anything like that much freight, the Canal will be operated at a heavy loss. That is the situation. President Wilson feels that either reason would be sufficient to require the vessels to pay. As to the treaty, ho feels that there thould be no question. He does not wish foreign governments to doubt the absolute ‘observance of any promise made by our government. He is unwilling to quibble about a matter d&f Nation al honor. When the bill was in the House it was opposed by Speaker Clark and Mr. Underwood but they were liter ‘ally snowed under, The fight in the §S(!nate will be much closer. A ma jority of from three or four to ten in favor of making all ships pay is all that is expected by the Demo crats, * * * x Rather remarkable to relate, two leading Democrats will be pitted against each other. Senator Hoke Smith will lead the Wilson .forces and Senator O'Gorman, of New York, will fight in favor of free tolls. O’Gorman is a very strong man. He is short, thick-set, rosy faced, with hair inclined to be curly. His head is big, his face full of force, hs jaw square and He comes at you like a Jersey bull with his head down. He reminds me of Captain J. W. English, of the Fourth Nation al Bank in Atlanta and he is a foe man well worthy of the steel of Hoke Smith. While the two Sena tors differ on this tolls question, however, they are the warmest of personal friends. Will I miss this gladitorial com bat? “Tell mother I'll be there.” They’ll call time, I think, in about two weeks.

There is hardly a man n twenty miles of Marietta who did not know Sax Anderson. He had been in Mari etta ever since nearly all the men in these parts were poys. And yet bhe was hardly seventy himself. . Mr. Anderson passed away last week, after only a. few days of ill uess. His fellow citizens in Mari etta were astounded when they heard he was dead, so little was thought of his sickness proving fatl. He had hardly been missed from town until the sad news was passed around that he was dead. There was not a stronger charae ter in Cobb county than Sax Ander son. He stood for his convictions and never did he fear to express them in public and private. He loved his friends and was always loyal ,to them. In his death Marietta and Cobb county have a citizen whose place will be hard to fill.—Alphar etta Free Press. ///’—\\‘ Vs _ y\_ i/ _ Your Dad, SRR A\ | Your Grand-Dad, NN ‘ I Your Great-Grand-Dad "\OSEeELs & _\ !
