!t contained two very important ;
features. On the surface it apearod j
t( be a bill to regulate branch bank ,
ing. Instead t>f regulating, it let
down the bars which will permit the
invasion of many state legislatures
by the banking monoply seeking the
privilege of branch banking in every
state of the Union. That alone ought
to have been enough of a grant to
be asked in any one bill. But it con-
tained a further grant, nicely tucked
away wh-re it would be least apt
to attract attention. This further

They d'dr.’t even have to grin what
they were after. Mhat .hey w nted
stuck, seemingly, to the flesh im-
mediately the two came in contact,
indicating that the secret of success
lay in a proper application of some
substance or other to the fingers be-
fore reaching. One wonders if ben-
ator Lodge had reference to this sub
stance in particular when on the
floor of the senate in 1924 he declar-
ed that he was “putting it moderate-
ly when I say that nine-tenths of
the monev expended on behalf of
the Republican and Democratic
parties is raised in the city of New
York.” (This little speech of en-
lightenment can be found on page
929K of the Congressional Record ol
May 21, 1924.)
Someone contemplated last Feb-
ruary, while the McFadden banking
bill so much desired by -the Wall
street pets of political parties was
under consideration, that il the
spirit of Andrew Jackson were hover-
ing about the halls of congress it
must have been w-rithing. The House-
had accepted the bill as it came from
conference und the {Senate was ore-
paring to swallow the mess. The
bill was brought to its last hurdl-
in the senate. Everyone knew that
the bill would have no difficulty-
winning the approval of President
Coolidge, since it already had won
the approval of “A.ndy” Mellon.
Passage of the bill by the Senate
would constitute assurance that the
game of the Wall Street crowd of
international bankers could go along
unmolested and that the banking
monoply would be placed in ** strong-
er position to still more tightly 1as-
ten its fangs into the flesh of the
American people and nation.
Bank Bill Pastes Easily.
By an overwhelming vote the
senate showed itself possessed of a
most remarkable constitution. After
voting cloture and gagging itself,
that body swallowed the mess in one
gulp, passed the banking bill with
hardly a sign of discomfort. A few
there were, it is true, who would
not join in approval of this legisla-
tion, but they were, as some friends
of the bill declared, “a no-aheount
lot of twisted brains bent upon dis-
agreeing merely for the sake of dis-
agreeing.” Yet I venture to guess
that the spirit of Jackson and Lin-
coln, if they were hovering about,
took some consolation in the attitude
of those few who were, in reality,
but declining to aid in a program
of extending furfher powers to the
money monoply before that monoply
was caused to make some accounting
of its acitivities, which had brought
such great suffering to millions in
the past, or before a halter had been
placed upon the creature to aid in
bringing it to its feet at times.
Another Dark Page in Hutory.
The passage of the banking bill
doubtless constitutes one of the
brightest pages in the history of the
big hankers of the world. It is hard-
ly so bright a page in the economic
and political history of the people
of America, for the success of this
measure can be said to be an inven-
tion extended by the j eople, through
their representatives in congress, to
the
ter to the Federal Reserve system.
Of the- branch banking feature I
■ffiall not concern myself in this ar-
ticle, even though it in itself affords
ample cause for objection to the bill
as a whole. But it is the renewal
of the Federal Reserve charter which
will make the bill in history, even
though that provision was over-
shadowed by general propaganda in
support of the bill, and even though
that feature was covered up by the
title of the bill itself.
The history of the administration
of the Federal Reserve system during
,s life certainly discloses room for
-bj-ition to iU recharter without
added regulatory reservation s bv
.engross. Ilistcry probably Vso dis-
closes why th* renewal of its cb,el-

ers were being forced by deflation 1
to do the same thing, markets wire
destroyed. The very bottom was
knocked from under the farm people.
Credit was not obtainable with wk ch
to meet the demands made upon
them, becaus* the Federal Reserve
had tightened up on credit. The
markets were glutted and the price ;
of farm products all but destroyed.
On such a market it was not
reasonable to expect that the farmer
could realize enough to enable lorn
to meet the extensive debt which the
government had urged him to shoul-
dt-r during the war. So, to meet his
obligations, the farmer, after dis-
posing of his valueless products,;
sacrificed equities he held in lands
bought during ihe war. l^and values,
too, were destroyed by the inflation
program. Then, as was the case in 1
thousands of instances, away went
the equity in the old homestead and
other lands the farmers possessed
prior to the war. For many of them
the “Nelson Cure” was the !a, i
resort.

was born bearing a laoel signifying K wag*
that it would forever make impos- ; cou|(j nod
sible panics and give the people the ; «.
more direct control over the agency
of money and credit that was origi-
nally intended. Instead, it has proven
an institution which, when “properly'
administered, takes the last vestige
of control from the people and places
it in the hands of selfish interests
who use it to further pauperise the
people and enrich themselves.
To help secure its pas age back in
1913 the authors of the Fideral Re-
serve Act declared that the system
would provide ample and elastic
currency, such that there never again
would be scarcity of money for legiti-
mate purposes. How long has that
claim held water. What more legiti-
mate industry is there than that of
agriculture? Yet the farmer knows
today that the Federal Reserve Act
has fallen short of measuring up to
the claims made in its behalf when
its passage was sought.
The Syitem and The Farmer.
Farmers of America, thousands up-
on thousands of them, owners of mil-
lions of acres of fruitful lands and
great flocks and herds, in 1920 could
not find money needed to carry on
and finance in a businesslike manner
their very necessary, to say nothing
of legitimate operations. This was
at a time which found the F'ederal
Reserve very much in existence too.
These farm people awoke, not long
after the 18th day of May, 1920 to
discover that their lands, their flocks,
their herds and the products of the
land and their toil, had been smit-
ten as if by some terrible plague,
reducing their values to a mere frac-
tion of what they were prior to that
approximate date.
What was this plague? Was it a
messenger from heaven heaping pun-
ishment upon the farmer for the part
he had played in that terrible World
War to make the world safe for
democracy? W’as this plague what
many claimed it to bo, namely, but
a condition which was to be expect-
ed following war? Hardly. Those
who want to know the truth are quite
awake now to the fact that this
