Discuss Reorganization
There was a meeting on last Wed-
nesday afternoon relative to the re-
organization of the Greenwood State
Bank and with the principal men of
the city and community behind the

will come out of the negotiations.
While there is little revenue for the
owners of any bank in these times,
no community can afford to be with
out a bank to care for the wants of
the community and the farmers. We
are hoping this institution will be
operating again soon for the best in
terests of all concerned.

Mob at Salt
Lake is Halted
by Tear Gas
Fists and Clubs Swing as Fight Waged
to Prevent Tax Sale Led
by a Communist.
Salt Lake City. CIu'os, fists and
tear gas bombs were wielded in a
clash between deputy sheriffs and a
thong of several hundred persons who
stormed the city-county building in
a successful effort to block tax fore
closure sales. The demonstrators
separated after being admised by M.
P. Bales, their spokesman and com
munist candidate for governor of
Utah at the last election, to meet
again Friday at the state capitol.
Meanwhile, all the occupants of
city and county offices had been
forced by the gas fumes to leave the
building. Official business was sus
pended. "From now on there will
bq no more unemployed meetings in
the building," said Sheriff Young,
whose face was cut when a chair
was thrown thru a window. "The
crowd will be forced to stay outside.
We tried to explain to the crowd
that ro drastic measures would be
taken unless necessary and, in that
event, arrests would he made and
charges of inciting riot brought.
"None of the deputies standing
guard at the office when the rush
was made was armed with guns.
They had only clubs and were in
structed to use them only if abso
lutely necessary. I believe these peo
ple understand now that we mean
to keep order." Deputy Sheriff Taylor
said only one of seven pieces of prop
erty offered on foreclosure sale was
disposed of before the sale was halted.
Those among the crowd who were in
jured said they were struck by the of
ficers clubs. Two policemen were
slightly Injured. State Journal.

Lincoln, Feb. 22. State Auditor
W. B. Price Wednesday charged that
enactment of the Jackman bill now
on general file in the house might

of Omaha to convert it into a stock
company without a vote of the mem
bers. Price opposed passage of a sim
ilar measure in 1927 and later help
ed prosecute a successful lawsuit to
prevent the directors from using Sl,

Bank's Officers
Said Protected
in the Big Crash
Accused at a Senate Committee
Hearing of Feathering
Own Nests.
Washington. An amazed senate
investigating committee learned that
while the National City bank was
selling out its customers in the fren
zied days following the market crash
of 1929, it set aside $2,400,000 for
interest-free loans to protect its own
hard pressed officers.
While this was being established
by the banking committee Senator
Wheeler, on the floor of the senate,
scathingly arraigned Charles E.
Mitchell, chairman of the National
City's board of directors, as a re
sult of the latter's testimony that to
avoid paying an income tax in 1929
he took a loss of nearly $2,800,000
by selling bank stock to a member of
his family, to be repurchased later.
"The best way to restore confidence
in the banks," Wheeler said, "would
be to take these crooked presidents!
out of the banks and treat them the
same as we treated Al Capone when
he failed to pay his income tax."
Gordon S. Rentschler, president of
the bank, told the committee of the
loan fund for the institution's offi
cers. The money was advanced with
out interest, he said, and sometimes
without security as a means of sus
taining the morale of the organiz
ation.
Under examination, he disclosed
that only about 5 percent of the loans
have been repaid and that they have
been written down and transferred
by the bank to its security affiliate,
the National City company. Rent
schler also described a plan under
which employes of the bank were per
mitted in 1929. i to buy its stock at
$200 and $220 and acknowledged
that, altho installment payments
have been taken from their salaries
since, they still owe more than the
shrunken market value of the secur
ities.
Ferdinand Pecora, committeo
counsel, questioned whether banking
laws had been violated, but Rent
schler denied they had. Pecora raided
the point particularly when he de
veloped that during the three years
endings in .1930, .the National. City
co'm'pariy,'" borrowing "from" the bank,
sold 1,950,000 "shares of the bank
stock to the public for 650 millions.
Rentschler denied this was a vio
lation of the law forbidding a na
tional bank to sell its own stock, but
said he would not like to see it done
again. Presented with evidence by
Pecora, Rentschler said employes of
the bank assisted in selling the
stock, but testified premiums from
the sales went to the bank and not
the employes.
The witnesi'agreed that salesmen
for the security affiliate had gone
out to the "highways and byways"
looking for customers for the stock
when it was selling as high as $580,
tho its book value was between $60
and $70 and dividends were $4.
Charles E. Mitchell, chairman of the
bank, told of participation by the
security affiliate in joint accounts for
trading in copper stocks and acknowl
edged he "wouldn't do it again."

!ryan Wants
Party Pledge
Carried Out
He Wants Intangibles. Including
Money, Taxed as Tangibles
Don't Want Compromise.
Contrary to word received by the
senate committee on revenue, Gover
nor Bryan is not satisfied with pro
posed amendments of that committee
which, instead of repealing the in
tangible tax law, will place another
law in its place which will assess
money at 4 mills on the dollar in
stead of 2Vz as at present. It will
also tax banks the same as at present,
S mills on the shares of stock, and
tax building and loan associations
and joint stock land bank organiz
ations as at present, placing all oth
er intangibles in the form of secur
ities on the property tax roll subject
to property tax rates.
H. B. Porterfield, secretary to the
governor, gave out this statement:
"Governor Bryan feels that any
compromise on the question of re
pealing the intangible tax law would
fail to carry out the democratic
party's platform pledge, and that an
act falling short of such outright re
peal will not meet the wishes of the
people of Nebraska.
"It was made clear, all thru the
campaign that the party stood com
mitted to absolute repeal. If the bill
is amended along the lines said to
have been agreed upon by the com
mittee, the governor believes the re
lief which the people were led to ex
pect will not be realized.
"Under the intangible tax law the
holders of certain kinds of property
have escaped part of their taxes and
owners of real estate have had to
make up the difference. In order to
remove this inequality Governor
Bryan deems it essential that the
legislature shall place all intangibles.
including money, on the same basis."

E0RAH DOUBTFUL ROOSEVELT
SEEKS DICTATOR POWERS
Washington, Feb. 22. Senator
Borah today wrote M. C. Migel, silk
manufacturer of Providence, R. I.,
that if congress confers "dictatorial"
power upon President-elect Roosevelt
he would hope and expect Roosevelt
"to flng it back in the chattering
teeth of a pusillanimous congress
with the reminder that he was the
president of the United States and
not its dictator."
Migel had written the Idaho re
publican suggesting that he get up
courage enough to say to the senate
that an emergency exists and propose
giving the president "dictatorial pow
ers within the constitution for a cer
tain period."
Replying, Borah said he was will
ing to give Roosevelt "full powers
enjoyable under the constitution,
but he had seen no statement "in
dicating that the president-elect de
sired any dictatorial powers."
