WASHINGTON. D. C—A refuta-
tion of arguments in favor of a gov-
ernment-owned central bank system
for the United States is presented
in a statement by R. S. Hecht,
President of the American Bankers
Association, on the basis of exhaus-
tive studies of European central
banks. He also points out the disas-
trous consequences of previous cen-
tral bank experiments in America.
“Our present regional Federal Re-
serve System under private owner-
ship is infinitely better for this coun-
try than would be a government-
owned and controlled central bank,”
Mr. Hecht says. “If history teaches
us anything, it is that it is almost
certain that a central bank so owned
would be run to meet the varying
exigencies of the government in
power rather than to serve the com-
mercial needs of the country.”
Central banking has been tried
twice in the United States, but was
finally abolished because the credit
■control which the central banks ex-
ercised became objectionable and
unpopular, he goes on to say.
What Andrew Jackson Said
“The continued existence of the
Second Bank finally became a bitter
political issue and President Jack-
son succeeded in abolishing it,” Mr.
Hecht says. “Permit me to quote
from his farewell address: ‘The im-
mense capital and peculiar priv-
ileges bestowed upon it enabled it to
exercise despotic sway over the
other banks in every part of the
country. From its superior strength
it could seriously injure, if not de-
stroy. the business of any of them
which miglrt incur its resentment..,.
If you had not conquered, the govern-
ment would have passed from the
hands'of the many to the hands of
the few,; and, this organised money
power, from its secret conclave';
would have dictated the choice of
your highest officers. . . . The forms
■of your government might, for a
time, have remained, but' its living
spirit wrould have departed from
it.’ ”
When the Wilson Administration
considered banking reform it care-
fully kept away from vesting central
banking powers in a single institu-
tion and instead introduced the re-
gional idea by creating twelve re-.,
serve banks located in different eco-
nomic and geographical sections of
the country, Mr. Hecht says, a .plan
that has worked exceedingly well
because the separate banks are un-
der the guidance of men chosen on
account of their intimate acquaint-
ance with the problems and'needs of
their respective territories. He adds:
- “The great size.and 'diversity of
Am&rica: tends.‘ltd make, a .central
bank undesirable. The central hanks
of Europe such as the Banks of Eng-
land, France and Germany, cover
areas.not as large as some of our
states. A central bank in the United
States on the other hand would be
called upon to administer the finan-
cial policies of an area larger than
all of Europe, in which there are
<p4te a number of central banks.
Subservient to Popular Demands
“Moreover, history has proven
that any banking system entirely
owned and dominated by the gov-
ernment usually demonstrates much
greater ability in aiding expansion
of credit than tu patting on the
brakes at the right time to prevent
undue inflation by restraining

Haze! Bearden
Phone Manager
A change in management of
the local office of the Texas
Telephone company was made
Monday, when Miss Hazel
Bearden succeeded Mrs. Harry
Turley as manager-operator.
Miss Bearden is the daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Bear-
den and has been employed as
relief operator at the Howe of-
fice for several weeks.
Mrs. Turley has been mana-
ger of the Howe office for the
past two years and had been
with the company at Howe and
Sherman for aoout ten years.
She resigned her position here
in order that she might be with
Mr. Turley, who is employed
in Dallas.
The free installation offer of
the telephone company which
has been in effect through
June and July will be contin-
ued through August the com-
pany announced Tuesday.

contracting credit. This is easy to
understand because iu t\mes of de-
pression everyone is urging the gov-
ernment to make money and credit
easy and to encourage expansion.
“On the other hand, it always has
been and always will be a difficult
task tor. any government to call a
.halt in time of apparent prosperity
because in the very nature of things
the government would be very sensi-
tive to public criticism and would
hesitate to take any action which
would tend to curtail business ac-
tivity. It is such undue susceptibili-
ty to popular demands which makes
government b a u k i n g inherently
weak. ■

defeated the South Howe team

a score of 8 to 4 in a nine inn-
ing battle. A home run by Mit-
chell aid Powell’s two triples
and two doubles were the most
notable performances at the
bat. A triple play added an un-
usual thrill to the game when
Powell caught a fly, recovering

sistance of Ashlock and Miller.

v The Varnerican Bankers Associa-

that a central bank would not be in
the interests of the public or the
banks. Its position, he concludes, is
“well understood by the Presiden1
and the leaders ip his Administra
tion. for we have been absolutely
frank with them in all of our dis-
cussions and have missed no oppor
tunity for emphasizing that in our
opinion no banking system will, in
the long run, be sound If it is domi
nated entirely by the eyer-changing
political administrations. We should
do all we can to keep our banking
mechanism as far removed from
partisan polities as possible.

1‘he peaches were exception-
ally large, most of them being
too large to go into the top of
a wide-mouthed fruit jar. They
were of a free stone variety.
The next day Dan Anglin
dropped in with a half-dozen
specimens of some of his large

siders hi« peaches an appiopri-

Hanna gave witness to her
prowess as a producerof black-
eye peas, submitting a large
sackful as evidence. The evi-

she stands convicted of rais-
ing as fine peas as we ever set
tooth in.
Though this may not be a land
of milk and honey, the experi-
ence of this week has proven
to us that there is plenty to
eat here, and a good meal of
black-eye peas, topped off with
peaches and cream is just as
nourishing as milk and honey,'
and considerably less harmful
to the digestive organism than
