Months aso th war department told the city of Chicago V.iat it must meter its water that under the present system citizens have all the lattittnie possible in u-dug the max iimnn supjdv, whereas if the water were metered as it is in almost every Cither citv the consumption would verv materially decrease. Xot only that but the department said tLat the present flow of about ten thou sand cubic feet per second would only be allowed to continue if the meter ordinance were put into effect that if the department's fat were not obeyed the How would be cut down to between four and five thousand feet. Mayor Thompson, who evidently believes be has higher powers than the president, has defied the depart ment, ar.d added the comment that the Republican party docs not dare do a thins. We don't know whether the r.iavor will be vindicated in his statement, hut if such a thins could come to pass we would be inclined to join the communists. The question narrows itself down to whether Mayor Thompson is go ing to run the United States or the du!y constitutior.ed authorities. The middle west would like to find out. :c: WE'EE GREAT GAMBLERS Americans are great gamblers. The hidden chances lure us, the pot of gold at the foot of the rainbow, the millions to be made from small in vestments. Tor every ten people willing- to take a chance, there is one who lies 'awa!;e nishts scheming to fool them Irresponsible and crooked promoters of g-rt-rich-quiek real estate projects, gilt-edged but unsupported stocks, and a thousand other "dreams" find there are just as many suckers now adays as there used to be three-shell victims at the county fairs. It has been remarked by a sagacious banker that you could even sell a gold brick in America "if you ha I a nice ccrti- tficate tct go with it." One of the new schemes that has been worked to a frazzle in several cities recently is the "hidden key." Promoters of some new subdivision hide on the property a key that opens a mysterious "prize box" in the tract office. The prize is valuable mav be a diamond ring, automo- bile, or you can't tell what. Anyway, same Jr . a nice shiny sedan stands in front jof the subdivision office. That's the V ' worm. Jj Hundreds flock to the lots and go 5 'over them tooth and nail hunting the ikcv to the treasure box. Eventually the key is found and the box opened. ;The lucky one is rewarded. Reward 3ed? Certainly! With a $100 certifi V'cate good as part payment on a lot. tl There you are! Day after day, new i searchers come and find the key and get the nice certificate.

J NEW TEST FOR THE DAWES PLAN The third year of operation of the Dawes plan has come to an end. So far, Germany has been able to meet all claims promptly, and the trans fers of funds to her creditors has been made without disturbing the exchange. Reparation payment for the past 12 months amounted to 1. r.00, 000.000 marks, or 300,000,000 more than in the seccmd year. For the coming year the schedule calls for 2.500.000.000, or in round numbers $600,000,000. This sum is more than double the payments called for in the second year. Since the increase during the next 12 months is comparatively slight, there shotild be no great difficulty in meeting all claims, especially as only P0. 000. 000 mark's of the additional payments will be charged against the general budget. In his last report S. Parker Gilbert, the Agent General for Reparations, refused to accept the- pessimistic views of the Reich strg and of German cabinet officers with regard to Germany's ability to meet her obligations during- the coming year, but he also showed much concern over the outlook for the fifth and subsequent years. In the fifth year, beginning with Sep tember, 192S, the payments will in crease by 750.000,000 marks ($1S0, 000.000), and the whole of this sum win be placed in the budget. Mr. Gilbert finds the real difficulty in the present condition of the Ger many Treasury. Revenues have been increasing, but expenditures have tended to outrun them. "Within the past fourfears the military and nav al outlay has increased fio per cent. The greatest drain on the revenues, however, comes from the financial connection of the Reich with the lo cal governments, which absorb near ly a third of the federal revenue, re gardless of their particular needs. To balance its budget for the past fiscal year the government had to borrow and also to draw upon its surplus of the preceding year. Clearly, then, the outcome of the first real test, in 1P2S-29, depends on the willingness or the ability of the government to set its financial house in better order, or. as Mr. Gilbert puts it, to observe "the normal precautions that are necessary in its own interest." There also remains the question whether, if Germany is able to pay the extra ?1SO,000,000, in the fifth year, its transfer can be effected without upsetting the exchange. Un til recently the transfers have been facilitated by the pegging of the mark. The removal of this artificial aid and the larger sums which will have to be handled have caused ex perts to doubt whether the Dawes plan will work so smoothly in 192f Nevertheless, the absorption powers of Germany's creditors have exceeded expectations. The operations are so unprecedented that one would be rash to prophesy what will happen when the plan meets its first test of per manence. :o: LEVELING THE WALLS Another indication that the Eu ropean trade barries are crumbling appears in the steps now being taken by the Spanish government to liber alize Its tariff law. Many people, perhaps, will recall a tariff may of Europe published some 10 months ago, which showed the countries sur rounded by walls of varying height. The higher the wall around any coun try the higher its tariff. The wall around Spain was one of the highest in Europe, being topped only by that around Russia. The Spanish wall was six times as high as the British and nearly twice as high as the German. Preparations to lower this con- spiciously high wall thus have a special interest. The Spanish gov ernment is reported to be planning special reductions on goods whose importation will tend to stimulate domestic business. Provision is also to be made for extending a schedule of minimum duties to the products of countries executing reciprocal trade agreements with the Spaniards. This announcement, following the negotiation of new commercial treat ies between Germany and France and Germany and Japan which call for mutual tariff concessions, supplies further evidence that Europe is turn ing from its restrictive trade policies of the post-war period and is begin ning to see that co-operation is more conducive to national welfare than exclusiveness. :o: BUY NOW Will appreciate all my old, friend.

Bankers Favor Regional Clear ing House Plan Forty-Two in Meeting at Stephens' Home to Honor Frank W. Simmonds. Fremont. Neb., Sept. S. Plans for a regional bank clearing house for Nebraska were inaugurated at a meeting of 42 bankers from four counties at the home of former Con gressman D. V. Stephens on the KJk- horn river. The meeting was a din ner in honor of Frank V.". Simmonds. ueputy manager ot the ciearni'-j house section ef the American P.ankerss' r.s- uciation. The plan contemplates clearing house examinations with a perm an - nt examiner in charge. I his also would incorporate the idea of a credit bureau, it was said. It whs suggested that this system would eliminate large losses whuh nov occur from duplicate borrowers, as one point in favor ot it. The chief reason for such a it was pointed out, wc.s that Jt would place the district in the hands of a permanent examiner who would be come laminar with lovvl conditions. become acquainted with borrowers and bankers alike, and vitally inter ested in keeping banking conditions on an even keel. He would be hel l ; responsible for the bnnkeis in his! district. This system would replace j the present one of having examiners; who go from one section of the state to another, seldom returning to the' same place a second time. The ax aminer could use his ollice to build, for the future and would be a help- j fill partner with every banker. J Thi.-: plan would not only curtail, unsound ere lit inflation through : duplicate borrcwing. but establish an I examination and supervision system in the forefront with bank examin - ation systems of the ers present declared. bank- DEATH OF FRED E0RNMAN The death of Fred Cornman oc curred at the M.
