Washington. July,—"Official per

credit to the absolutism of Russia
iu its palmiest days has been uncov

preme court." declares Hon. Jona

nancial organization in the world—
has been accused by the supreme
court of making "warfare upon legit
imate creations of the states.'
" Mthougtt there lias been hint of
the facts in tlie past a lull statement
<»f tile manner in which the federal
reserve board abused its powers has
it«if heretofore come to public atten
tion. It appears that the board un
dertook to use its official authority
in an tlb-.: 1 way to force state ban«s I
to become members of the reserve]
- sum .u.iinst their wishes \ariousi
sc. ernes were resorted to but in spite i
of t!.e-e •: easures many of the bank*
undertook to preserve their inde-j
petitionee and tueir rigut to conduct |
their bit-:uess in actordamc w.th the
laws of ttie state r;.tber than of iliel
nation. This right the federal law
guaranteed them.
"As a last resort, in its efforts to
punish state banks mat refused to
become members the fi deral reserve
bank would nave one 01 its agents
gradually accumulate checks on the
slate Iwuk until the amount of such
• Necks exceeded the amount ot cur
rency said stat*' bauk Was required
to carry hi its vaults It would then
scud its ineti hurriedly and unexpect
edly to demand payment of the
checks in cash, in default of which
the checks were sent to protest and
the news -pr> ad about the communi
ty mat the bauk was being question
ed by the government; that it bad
dishonored checks, and the result
would l>e very likely a run on the
bauk and its destruction. The bank
lould save itself ftoiu this disaster
by sign.tig an agreenieut to submit
itself to me orders of the federal
reserve system.
To protect itself from the danger
of proceedings of this kind the Am
ericatt ISank and Trust Company of
tleorgia appealed to the courts of
prevent the Federal Reserve Itank of
Atlanta from continuing coercive
■uetliods sucU as indicated above, it
its defense the federal reserve hank
asserted that the holder of checks
has a right to retain ihem and pre
sent them at his pleasure.
"The supreme court held that while
tins was true so lout; as tiie motive
is an honest one. the right can not
be exercised for a dishonorable pur
pose. The court sail: l!anks as we
know them could not exist if they
could not rely upon averages and
lend a large part of the money that
they receive from their depositors
on the assumption that not more
than a certain fraction of it will be
demanded on any one day. If with-;
at.t a word of falsehood, but ailing
from what we have called disinter
ested malevolence. « man bv perse
cution should organize and carry in
to effect a run upou a bank and ruin
it. We can not doubt that an action
would lie. A similar result, even if
less complete ill its effect, is to be
expected from the course that the
defendants are alleged to inte ,d. and
to determine whetuer they are au
thorized to follow that course it is
not enough to refer to the general
right of a holder of checks to pre
sent tl.etn in a i» dy for the purpose
of breaking down the petitioners'
business as now conducted s justi
tied by the ulterior purpose in view.
"We do not heed iid irom the de
bates upon the statute under which
the reserve banks exist to assume
that the I nil d States did not intend
by the statute to sanction this sort
of warfare upon legitimate crea

"This instance of dictatorship hv
an arrogant bureaucracy will do
much to discourage bestowing simi

S. Hall Young |
Visits Wrangell
resentative of the Presbyterian Board
of Missions, with offices in New York I
City, and author of "Alaska Days
with John Muir," and other books,
arrived in Wrangell on the Watson.
He is gathering data for a new book
and will remain in Wrangell about
a month.
Dr. Young first came to Alaska in
1S7S and established the first Am
erican Protestant Church In the Ter
ritory at Wrangell. In 1ES0. he vis
ited tlie various villages of the Hy
das. There were no gasboats in
those days and during six months'
time he traveled 15.000 miles in a
canoe.
Dr. Young published the first news
paper in Wrangell, which was also
the first regularly published news
paper in the Territory, having estab
lished The Glacier in 1SS5. The
second hand printing press, type and
furniture for this enterprise were
purchased in New York and "shipped
around the Horn." Difficulties were
encountered because of lack of
knowledge of printing but finally,
with the help of District Attorney
Ball and W. D. Mcl.eod of the Hy
dah .Mission, the press was set up
and put into working order. Sam
Henry Haldane. a Tsitupsean Indian,
father of tieorge Haldaue of Hvda
hnrg. layman in charge of the mis
sion work at Ilydaburg, was compos
itor and Dr. Young was editor and
proof reader and foreman of the
plant The Glacier was published
until May 1SSS, when Dr. Young
left Alaska. He came north again
during tlie Klondike gold rush in
1S97. He followed up other stam
pedes including Nome, Fairbanks,
and lditarod. He has been away from
Alaska seven and one half years.
Miss l.ydia McAvov. later Mrs.
Win. G. Thomas, was a cousin of
Dr. Young and he brought her to
Alaska. She taught the first Gov
ernment school here from 1SS4 to
1SSS. Dr. Young performed the
ceremony that united her in marri
agege to Judge Thomas in l^s. ile
also married Mr. and Mrs. George
H. Ha rues.
After visiting iu Wrangell. Or.
Young will spend four months look
ing after Church work in the north,
after which he expects to enjoy a
bear hunt in the Kenal and Aleutian
peninsulas.
Dr. Young will speak at the I're<
byieriau Church on Sunday even

Notice of New (Mice Here.
Principally through the efforts of
the Yukon Councilman Robt. Lowe,
the department of the Interior has
beeu prevailed upon to allnw oil
stampeders lo record their claims in
Whitehorse on their return from
fort Norman, and this is i great
thing for such men, as it saves a long
expensive trip to Edmonton which
was necessary under the old rules.
The Yukon is recognized by ail
as the best possible winter route to
Fort Norman and now that claims
may be registered here it is' certain
that next winter will see a big stam
pede through Whitehorse for the
great oil attraction. The Yukon is
due for a great impetus in all lines:
of business, due to the Fort Norman-j
Yukon route, and much credit is due
to our councilman for his efforts.

THE PINCH
By LOUISE HOFFMAN.

<©. 1021. by McClum Newspaper Syndicate.)
And so they were married au<l lived
happily ever after—that Is, until
question of the best way to handle tlie
family Income arose. But then there
was no question Just at llrst. Boli as
sumed that us head of his family he
was only exercising his prerogative hy
keeping the purse strings and doling
out so much every once In a while und
Joyce tacitly agreed.
"Bob, dear," she timidly began at
dinner, "Etta wanted tue to to shop
ping this morning."
"You went, of course?" he asked In
the Indulgent tone of one being sure
of an affirmative reply.
"No," returned Joyce br'.-lly.
Bob's face was a study. "1 thought
you adored shopping," he ventured.
"Why didn't you go, honey girlV"
Joyce suddenly lost her timidity. "I
dhlu't have any money," she blurted
our.
"No money? Where did II all go
to?" he imiiiiri'd, mechanically, wiping
his dry lips and gulping down some
water.
"I don't know," confessed Joyce, all
at sea. "I owe the butcher, the grocer:'
the niilktmin, and the little you gave
tue seems to have evaporated."
Joyce and Bob spent their llrst dis
agreeable hour together facing facts.
But at the end of It Joyce was
able to show Bob that to continue this
practice <>f doling out uncertain
amounts of money every once In a while
wnf nothing short of dally crucifixion.
Boh saw the Justice of her claims
and the niggardly position In which
she was placed and together they
resolved on a weekly allowance.
Joyce felt a sense of security In
knowing definitely how much money
"he could spend weekly.
This |)lim worked admirably rnr h
few yours, hut Joyce fomiil it had in
convenient drawbacks, too. A single
wofk's allowance t'nila>>l many times to
meet cxjiendlUires that were In vleiv
a month ahead. Ii bccnuie an actual
bug-bear tf> account for every penny.
Slie strusgled many an hour over ac
counts tliat refused to balance. She
could not always remetnlier.
One day Joyce went to on Etta
tier lirldesiuaid. who was now a happy
wife, and found her busy writing out
checks.
"Why. Etta!" sin- exclaimed In rapt
admiration. "I didn't know your ship
had come in and that you hail money
enough of your own to hank. You're
a lucky girl."
"I haven't any money of tny own
exactly," laughingly protested Ktta.
"Hut you sign these checks person
ally," coming nearer and taking the
liberty to stare at the white hits of
paper.
"Oh, that's because we have a Joint
account at the bank," explained Etta.
"We handle our Income I y the bank
account. It Is placed in both Jim's
name and mine. This gives me the
right to write and sign checks equally
with Jim."
"I should think that would cause
confusion," commented Joyce with
puckered brow.
"No," returned Ktta, "because we
are equal partners. We share in com
mon. Jim earn;, the money and de
posits his weekly salary In the bank,
lie says I have earned it equally with
him in caring for him, his health and
our home. So the money belongs to
both and both of us ha\e a say as to
Its spending and Its saving. It sim
plifies housekeeping and bookkeeping
as I have all m.v purchases listed on
a bill and rendered once a month pay
able by check."
Etta smiled. '"Every virtue lies
dangerously near a corresponding
vice,' " she quoted, "and I hail to bring
myself up sharply once In a while in
order not to abuse the credit system.
But I lenrned."
Joyce went home with her mind full
to overflowing with a new, practical
and workable manner of handling
their Income.
"Pshaw I my salary Isn't large
enough!" protested Boh when Joyce
told him her new scheme that night
at dinner. "I can't get enough to
gether at any one time to warrant a
bank taking my account."
Joyce was not to be put down.
"Well, let us visit our local banks,"
she suggested, "frankly state our cir
cumstances and see what hnppens."
And they did finally, with the result
that Bob's eyes were opened to the
fact that the time has gone by when
the average bank refuses an account
because of the limitation of the dally
balance. That when a married couple
open a Joint bank account It estab
lishes domestic credit.
Bob ami .Tovce went home ns tlioiieh
treading on air. The bunk officials
were so courteous and rently to ex
plain every detail of the checking as
well as the savings system. Bob felt
a new self-respect for his ability In
the financial worlil. And Joyce began
to anticipate the dignity and Impor
tance of signing checks herself.
"There goes Nell " whispered Joyce
as they saw a modestly attired woman
disappear Into Lawyer Cook's office.
"Oh, Bob, I know their money diffi
culties had brought them to the point
of a divorce and I wonder," she shud
dered and pressed his ann, "if ours
might have led us there, too. I Re
lieve I'll tell Nell what the pinch
taught us and how, through Etta, the
bank is going to help us solve the
problem of being one in the family in
come."
