SMALL BANKS
IN DANGER
(Continued from Pag 0ns.)
capital of tha regional reaerve associations
It is only fair and light that they should
have some representation on the board of
control. With the three members ap-
golnted by the President and with th
ecretary of the Treasury aa an ex-offtclo
member tha Government would retain
control. At tha aame time the stock-
holding banks would have the representa-
tion to which they would be entitled by
all principle of falraea and Justice on
account of the fact that the capital ot tha
aaaoclatlon would be furnished by them.
'The bill aa originally written provided
that tha President of the United States
should appoint Jour member and the re-
maining three lnmbera should consist of
the Comptroller of th. Currency th
Secretary of Agrtcultor and th Secre-
tary of the Treasury. 1 believe it la
hardly accessary for. ma to i-all attention
to tha fact that If a man has the ability
to be a good Secretary of Agriculture lie
will have about all the work he Is enti-
tled to and he may be a great Secretary
of that department without having the
financial ability to perform successfully
the duties required of him on the board.
Comptroller Not Fitted.
"The Comptroller of Currency certainly
should not be on the board of control for
the reason that th duties of the two posi-
tions would necessarily conflict. Ha
ahould however exercise the same au-
thority over the regional reserve banks
that he now wields over the National
banka He certainly should not be both
Judge and attorney at the same time end
If he can successfully handle the affairs
of the Comptroller's office It occurs to
me that he will fully earn hla salary and
perform a great service for hla people.
"Another important change suggested
by the Chlcsgo conference waa that the
assessment upon the member banks tor
stock subscription should be reduced from
10 per cent of the member banks' capital
to 10 per cent. This waa unquestionably
a sound recommendation for as the bin
now stands the Government will receive
a very large proportion of the profits
from operation while on the 'other hand
it must be manifest to each one of you
that if there are any losses the bank
aubscriblng tha capital wUI sustain tha
loss.
Would Mean Greater Burden.
"I am firmly of the opinion that no
aeven men should have tha power to levy
additional assessments upon the bank
members whether the original assessment
be fixed at 10 per cent or not. It should
be fixed and when fixed there should
be no additional liability. Tou can
readily see that If further assessments
ars levied at a time when there is a finan-
cial stringency it must necessarily mean
an additional burden for the bankers and
business Interests of the country.
"The Chicago conference recommended
the elimination of the Federal Advisory
Council but made no chances as to re-
discounts except on minor features which
do not materially affect that section of
the bill.
"The changes recommended in regard
to the Issuance of notes were of course
very material and decided depart urea
from the plana of the Owen-Olasa bill.
The men who have given currency legis-
lation serious thought for the last 10
years believe that the notes Issued should
be the direct obligations of the1 regional
reserve banks and that th Government's
credit ahould remain unencumbered and
Intact for use In times of war or auch
ether emergencies as might arise. As
the collateral would necessarily belong to
the member banks they could see no rea-
son for the Government's assuming the
obligations but believed that the Gov-
ernment should at all times control Is-
suance of th notes.
f PIasd "at Ressrva Feature.
"It was with a great deal of satisfac-
tion that I noticed In th papers that
th committee of the House has prac-
tically adopted the reserve requirements
suggested by the Chicago conference
which were as follows: Four' country
banka 4 per cent In lawful money In
vault 4 per cent with reserve agents and
4 per cent with regional reaerve associa-
tion; for reserve city banks 0 per cent
cash tn vault. I per cent with regional
reaerve associations and per cent with
central reserve city banks; and for cen-
tral reserve city banks JO per cent cash
In vault and 10 per cent with regional re-
serve associations "
"Tha Chicago conference also thought
that 11 regional reserve banks was too-
larg a number; that one central reaerv
bank with branches throughout tha coun-
try would be more easily operated and
nor satisfactorily 'managed than would
"Realising; however that It was out of
th question te expect th number to b
reduced to on they recommended that It
be limited to five. I heartily agreed to
thia recommendation as I believe that any
set of men who can successfully manage
on bank and Its affair In all its details
should be on1dered successful men . .

We should certainly so slow In any
Changs made In tha financial system or
the country Involving all of Ita allied In-
terests. "In conclusion I wsnt to say that It Is
my opinion that when the Senate and
House ot Representatives realise that the
objection to thia bill are not entirely
confined to the reserve cities and central
reserve cities our opinions will reoelve
their due Weight. I believe that the
Preeldent sral both houses of Congress
desire to pass a bill that will be satis-
factory not only to themselves bat to the
business Interests of th Country. To
this end I feel that the bankers should
In every wsy ce-operate with them and
in this connection I feel sure that the
bankers here today hsve no such feeling
In regard to reserve cities as serma to be
in the air at Washington but that they
feel that their oorreapondents tn thna
cities have at all tlmea aocorded them due
consideration and fair treatment In all
matters presented to them.
Farmer and Merchants Interested.
"It Is also my opinion ' that In tha
movement of the great crops liks th
cotton crop of the South and the grain
crop ot the West when you destroy tha
personal equation between bankers you
will find It very difficult to handle these
crops. By this I mean that many of ue
at times ask tor more than we are tech-
nically entitled to and tha regional re-
serve associations would not have the
same reason for granting the accommo-
dations which are dally extended by
bankers and their correspondents and
customers and which are almost abso-
lutely necessary In th dally transactions
of business.
"80 I say that not only are the bank-
ers of the country Interested In this leg-
islation but every farmer every mer-
chant every manufacturer and every la-
borer Is vitally Interested In It and I
sincerely hope that our deliberations here
today will be such as to merit the appro-
val of the people of this great State."
At the afternoon session the bankers
passed resolutions voicing strong and
unanimous opposition to the bill pending.
These resolutions were practically the
same as th Chlcsgo resolutions; they
also decided to start a campaign by letter
In opposition to the currency bill.

condition of a part of th road he hid
come over and promised him as soon ss
they found a buyer for bonds to the value
of $100000 they recently had voted for
road Improvements the road would be
shelled ail the way to tha Jefferson County
line. The Liberty representatives said
the Dayton precinet also had voted the
same amount for Improvements and would
do considerable toward making a splendid
highway entirely across the county aa
soon as a purchaser for their bonds could
be found. In every way posalble the Lib-
erty cltlsena did all they could to show
Mr. Ferguson they appreciated the value
to their community the proposed trans-
continental highway would be.
One thing in Mr. Ferguson's address on
the trip and good roads that attracted
considerable attention at Liberty was his
description of a four-story hotel In a lit-
tle Western sheep town of 120 inhabi-
tants. This hotel he explained was
kept sp and made to pay Its owner good
dividends merely because it was on a
good automobll rout that was exten-
sively traveled. He aaid in the great
hotel In the little Western town every
convenience of th city was at the com-
mand ..ot guests and that It received
not a cent from th people who
lived In th neighborhood. This he ex-
plained waa an example of the mer-
cenary aid of tb automobile route and
he added that many ether towns could
weB afford to emulate that little village a
exampt. -' .- -

GOOD ROADS IN WAKE
OF PATHFINDER'S VISIT
Jefferson Covlty Xjithniiutie Over
Highway From Coast to Coatt
Order Bond Election.
iHoujio. Pttt Sptctl.)
BEAl'MOXT Texas September 9. Th
trsnscontlnentaltats who are finding a
path through Dixie from the Atlantic to
the Pacific Ocean left Beaumont north'
after I o'clock Tueaday morning headed
for Houston. Beaumont peofile were loath
to see Mr. Ferguson and hla party leave
and a number of the leading oltlsens wsre
up at the early hour rhoaen for the de-
parture to escort the noted pathfinder
outside the city and wish him and his
party Godspeed on their Journey.
More concrete evidence of good that
was done on the trip was manifested at
Braumont than at any other city on the
Journey. The first thing Mr. rrrguson
was fold after he reached Jefferson Coun-
ty was that 111000 that morning had been
ordered paid by the Commissioners Court
for the shelling of the road from Beau-
mont to Mansflfld'i Ferry. It alto was
said that the fact that Mr. Kerguson
crossed th worst stretch of road. In tha
county when he came from ths fVrr.7 to
Brsumont was directly responsible for
the road being ordered shelled. At a
banquet given Mr. Ferguson and hla party
Monday night R. W. Wilson County
Judge of Jefferson County assured Mr.
Ferguson the road would be In perfect
condition when the pathfinder returned.
W. J. Kelly right of .way engineer for
Orange County was present at the ban-
quet and said the work had already been
begun on the road In his county and
would be completed In less thsn (0 work-
ing days. When It Is finished the lower
Beaumont road from Orange to Beaumont
will be one of the beat highways on the
all-Southern transcontinental route. The
road likely would have been placed In
good condition If the proposed highway
from coast to coast had not been at-
tempted but all admit that Mr. Fergu-
son's trip hurried the mstter.
Another result of Mr. Ferguson's trip to
Beaumont was cited by Judge E. A. Mc-
Dowell who said enough signers in a
petition for aa election to vote $60000
In bonds to be used for the construction
and maintenance of good roads hsd bees
obtained the day of the pathfinder's ar-
rival In Beaumont and the County Com-
missioners had sgreed to call the election
the same day. The election will be held
at an early date althoagh a definite time
has not been et and those favoring the
bond Issue profess faith In their ability
to win the election. A like bond Issue
wss defeated in Jefferson County a few
months ago but It Is thought the discus-
sion that has been aroused by Mr. Fer-
guson's trip will cans a change tn tha
sentiment of the voters of Jefferson
County.

LIBERTY WOULD HAVE
HARRIS BUILD ROAD
Neighboring County People Think
Gap in New Highway te Hous-
ton Should Be Cloud.
I Housl.n Poll Sfntal I
LIBERTY. Texas September . -The
Visit of Pathfinder Ferguson who Is bias-
ing an automobile route from Atlanta
Ua. to Han Francisco Cal. to this city
today was ths direct cause of renewed
Interest In the good roads movement In
this section and Incidentally called to
the minds of the peopl that Harris Coun-
ty haa failed to cloee up the gap In the
hell mad between the Liberty County
line and th town of Crosby.
Th shell road In this eounty extends
from Dayton to th Harris County line
with sevsral stretches of from two tu
three miles along the route making the
main thoroughfare passable at any time
of tha year but the five or slx-mlle gap
just over Insid Harris County Is consid-
ered a baa piece of road and Liberty
people want to know why the Commis-
sioner of Harris do' not have this piece
of road shelled thus giving the public s
good road all th wsy Into Houston.
Liberty Official Talked.
In an Interview with the Couny Judge
of this county I. B. Simmons this morn-
ing Judge Simmons said: "I am very
anxious to sea the roads connected up
by th Harris County people and see no
reason wny rhey should longer delay. We
war assured that this work would be
don whenever we reached the county
line but our road has been completed tr
th county line for seversl weeks end
the gap In the Harris County road still
exists. W hav 200000 to upend ovei
her yet. and we can practically aasure
tha traveling public that all gaps In 'the
roada In Liberty County will be shelled
with thia money but the Houiion-IJb-erty-Beaumont
road will still be Incom-
plete until Harris and Jefferson Counties
each bring their roads up to the count v
lines."
Haven't Kept Fslth.
"Tou know It Is s funny thins; to me."
said County Commissioner A. I. Moore In
talking ot this matter tu a reporter for
Tb Post. "Both Houston and Beau-
mont sent good roads boosters out here
during our csmpatgns who told us of what
their counties would do If e only did
our work over here. Still our road Is com-
plete on the west and Harris County le
still In the mud. The people over there
should wake up and get In line. We have
our road now and would be glad to aee
Harris County come across.''
"It Is a shame to hsvs to run a ma-
chine through that little stretch of road
Juat across the county line In Hsrrlf
County" said Commissioner J K. Berry
f th Dayton pieclnct. "I compk-ted the
shelling of ths road lo the Harris County
line several weeks sgo and we have one
of th beat roads In the South along that
route. One arould expect to find even s
batter road over In Harris County hut
Instead that one little gap just scross the
line I the only unpleasant stretch of road
between Dayton and Houston. We are
going to shell the river bottom road from
Dayton to Liberty with part of the next
money we spend and f hope the Harrir
County Commissioners will get busy and
shall the few miles of road left between
our shell road and theirs."
"If Liberty County can do what we
have" commented Commissioner Abehler
"I don't see what Is to keep Harris Coun-
ty with all Its wealth from finishing up
their work right away. I am anxious to
see this road completed and hope our
neighbor commissioners will let the con-
tract for this work at one."
This Is th sentiment expressed hy
many of th peopl here and nothing
would pleas them better than to see this
