for re-election as Representative from
Wheeler county, subject to the rules
and regulations of the Democratic

preciate the favors shown me in the

For Representative
To the Voters of Wheeler County:
Having for several years craved the
honor of representing W heeler county
in the State Legislature, I hereby an
nounce myself a candidate for Repre
sentative of my county, subject to the
rules of the.executive committee of the
democratic party, in September pri
mary, 1930. The vote and support of
all will be greatly appreciated. If
honored with the election, 1 shall ad
vocate the following amendments and
changes in our present laws, along
with others, to-wit:
I would advocate an amendment to
the fishing law of the county so as to
make same a state wide law, allowing
shorter closed seasons, or probably
no closed season for fishing with hook
and line, and make same uniform
throughout the state.
Also advocate a change of the tax
law so as to make “poll tax” pay
ment the only requirement for right of
suffrage.
Also a change or possibly repeal of
^^^ad tax law.
would favor a change in ourbank
^^g laws so as to provide liquidation
of closed banks by receiver under ap
pointment and supervising of our
courts of equity, which I believe would
lessen expenses of liquidation and
mean more for creditors of bank.
Also would advocate change in ap
propriations for education which I
believe would warrant larger appro,
priations for county schools in state.
I would advocate change in the
Motor-carriers’ Act, passed at 1929
session of legislature, so as to allow
farmers privilege of using their trucks
to assist each other in hauling their
products without being subject to the
bond and tax as now required.
Would advocate more economic
administration of entire state govern
mental affairs in general.

IF ICHABOD CRANE S
HAD A FLASHLIGHT
By JOHN G. LONSDALE
President American Bankers
Association
’ UpE ALL remember the story of Icha
** bod Crane and the headless horse
man. There was the dark form by the
Bide of the road—
t thundering hoofs
on the Sleepy Hol
low highway —
and Ichabod flee
ing in confused
terror before this
terrible monster.
If Ichabod had
only known, that
his hobgoblin was
an inventive rival
disguised with a
a pumpkin head.
' John G. Lonsdale he would have
had a good laugh
and gone on with the business of van
quishing his competitor.
What Ichabod really needed was a
modern flashlight. Then he would
have discovered the trickery at once.
1 Many business men need the flashlight
of analysis to uncover the hobgoblins
in their business and then they might
sit back and laugh at their rivals who
hesitate to investigate and learn the
truth.
At this time, when business and
banking are making strenuous efforts
to have a clear vision ahead, it is espe
cially important that the power of re
' search and analysis be employed to
their fullest extent. When these twin
' brothers of good management have
been pressed into service in all fields,
I am confident we shall see a further
lessening of periods of stress. How
ever, I believe business in general has
learned the valuable lesson that any
prosperity that is not leavened with a
little adversity would not seem basi
cally safe or sound.
RESERVE SYSTEM'S
DIVIDENDS ANALYZED
i
I
Bankers Find Increased Pay
ments to Member Banks Would
Be Small Inducement.
Various proposals that member
banks In the Federal Reserve System
should participate more largely in Its
net earnings through an increase In
the dividend rate above the present
fixed 6 per cent “would be a very
small financial inducement” to them,
It is declared in a recent study of this
subject by the Economic Policy Com
mission of the American Bankers As
sociation. This is shown, the commis
sion says, by a theoretical forecast, on
the basis of the past six years, of ad
ditional earnings that would be dis
bursed to member banka during tho
next six years under two plans Intro
duced in bills before the United States
Senate.
“The Fletcher bill provides that
Federal Reserve Bank earnings, after
present 6 per cent dividends to mem
bers and completion of a 100 per cent
surplus, should all be distributed as
extra, dividends to the stockholder
banks,” the report says. "If the earn
ings of each Federal Reserve bank
were distributed among its own mem
bers there would be no extra divi
dends in the Boston, New York, Phila
adelphia, Cleveland, Chicago and San
Francisco districts during the next
six years, but the other six Federal
Reserve Banks would pay annual ex
tras at the following rates: Richmond,
6.08 per cent; Atlanta, 4.09 per cent;
St. Ijouls, 3.50 per cent; Minneapolis,
9.51 per cent; Kansas City, 5.48 per
cent; Dallas, 4.83 per cent.
“If the earnings were pooled and
paid out to all members in all districts
each member would receive an aver
age annual extra dividend of .78 per
cent. Under this plan no franchise
tax as now would be paid by the Fed
eral Reserve Banks to the Federal
Government.
Another Plan Analyzed
“The Glass bill would provide that,
after present 6 per cent dividends,
one-half the remainder should bo paid
i to member banks as an extra divi-
I dend with the residue going to sur
plus and Federal Government as fran
chise tax. The average annual extras
I to members would be as follows: Bos
ton District, 2.51 per cent; New York,
i .48 per cent; Philadelphia, 2.05 per
cent; Cleveland, 2.09 per cent; Rich-
I mond, 3.26 per cent; Atlanta, 4.67 per
I cent; Chicago, 3.20 per cent; St. Louis,
■ 2.02 per cent; Minneapolis, 4.75 per
I cent; Kansas City, 2.74 per cent; Dal
las, 3.31 per cent; San Francisco, 1.87
; per cent
“If these extra funds were pooled the
I result would be an extra average an-
I nual dividend ot 1.73 per cent for each
member. Under this plan the system,
would still pay as now an annual fran
chise tax, amounting to 31,941,996 on
the average."
Byway of concrete instance, the
report says, a member bank having
capital and surplus of $200,000, there
fore bolding Federal Reserve Bank
stock amounting to $6,000 on which it
i Is receiving $360 under the present 6
i per cent dividend arrangement, would
। with the addition of each 1 per cent
to the dividend rate receive an addl-
I tional income of S6O a year.
"If each member bank will figure
1 1 out for itself the dollar-and-cents gain
I ft would enjoy we are confident it
i will be agreed that the gains are small
. as against the economic disadvantages
which can be pointed out, ’ it con
cludes.

SEES HEAVY CLAIMS
ON FUTURE BANKERS
American Bankers Association
Official Declares That Banking
Changes Creating Large Bank
Systems Will Call for Broader
Social Viewpoints.
Larger scale group or branch bank
ing will inevitably bring a new era of
banking organization and operations
to the United States and bankers will
have to develop “new conceptions, new
administrative methods and new eco
nomic views,” Rudolf S. Hecht, Chair
man of the Economic Policy Commis
sion of the American Bankers Associa
tion, recently told the members of the
American Institute of Banking.
The Institute is the educational sec
tion of the association and he empha
sized the point that the new era in
banking demanded “that we must stop
up our education so that banking shall
be fortified for new responsibilities.”
What the Future Calls For
"We must broaden our social concep
tion of banking,” Mr. Hecht said. “Not
only for the technical operations of the
new banking must we fit ourselves, but
both as Individuals and an organized
profession we must charge ourselves
with serious consideration of the so
cial problems that are Involved. Al
ready we hear murmurings and fears
and doubts as to whether the changes
that are coming about in banking In
the extension of group and branch sys
tems do not constitute the looming of
a new financial menace, a monopolistic
threat not only to the individual unit
banker, but to the financial liberty of
society in general. lam stating these
things merely as facts that must be
taken into consideration in our studies.
"Public opinion cannot be ignored
by any business, least of all by bank
ing, which Is admittedly seml-publlc
in character and Is, therefore, subject
to special supervision by the consti
tuted authorities. If banking develops
tendencies that give rise to public
fears, wo must so conduct ourselves
as to reassure all doubts.
"For this is true, —that business suc
ceeds only by serving society—that no
business can permanently prosper
which does not both redder service to
the public and at the same time con
vince the public that it is rendering
that service. Banking, therefore, must
take cognizance of what the public is
saying of this new era In Its develop
ment.
“It must be part of the technique
of modern banking administration,
whatever form our enlarged institu
tions take, to avoid the creation of
monopolies, or even the appearance of
such a centralization of financial
power as to be able to exercise an un
due Inguence over public or private
finance or other lines ot business. Tho
public’s right to the safeguards of fair
competition must, be observed. ,
Must Preserve Individual Initiative
“It must also be an item of man
agement that individual initiative and
opportunity shall be maintained. If
America has outstripped other nations
in the distribution of the benefits of
its progress, it is due to the fact that
there are no barriers of social caste
or business tradition against advance
ment for character, ability, and initia
tive. American business has learned
that it serves Itself best by encourag
ing by every practical means individ
ual ambition and initiative, and hurts
Itself most by repressing or neglecting
them. Competition for efficiency, both
within an organization and between
organizations, will prevent any insti
tution from long enduring in which
maintenance of opportunity and recog
nition of initiative are not controlling
principles of management. As heads
' of the greatest of our financial and in
. dustrial institutions stand men who
started from the humblest of begin
nings. Through all tho grades of ex
ecutive authority and reward stand
I men in positions In keeping, generally
speaking, with their individual merits.
I, personally, see no reason for fearing
that the enlarged banking organiza
tions which the future may hold would
I necessarily supply future bank em l
ployees with any less opportunity for
; achievement than unit banking.
“Again, a major consideration of ad-
I ministration in any multiple form of
i banking organization must be its pub
\ lie relations in every community it
i touches. Its foremost consideration
i must be actually and visibly to serve
i the economic upbuilding of that com
inuniit'. No system will be long tol
erated whose local members work, or
are suspected as working, to draw
; economic strength from one place to
I enlarge the finanical power of another.
| Tho local unit bank has always been
part and parcel of the communities
I where it lives—and no system can last
which does not make it a major prin
। ciple of operating technique to serve,
and not exploit, the communities into
| whose business lives it enters.”
Growth of Banking Education
DENVER, Colo.—At the American
I Institute of Banking convention held
■ here last month the growth in the
effort among bank employees to pro
vide themselves with banking educa
tion was shown by the fact, as re
ported by one speaker, that 12 years
ago the institute had 80 study chap
ters, today 208, and that its enroll
ment in the study courses had grown
from 11,000 to 45,000, or an Increase
of over 300 per cent. The graduates
number nearly 14,000. The institute
is the educational section of the Ameri
can Bankers Association through
which bank workers are given Ir.struc
tion in theoretical and practical sub
jects relating to their business,
