The change has been under con templation for some time and from numerous standpoints it seemed best that the change be made, principally that of securing the advantages of the state guaranty law which extends to all state chartered banks but not to National banks. The fact that the change could be made is the highest endorsement of the condition of the bank, for no ctota Vi i rf ni rn 1 -I l r c-aii "! unlade the financial condition of the insti-1 Miriol raJ " ?!rl tution was gilt edge.

Representatives from thirteen dif ferent states, more than 250 men, met recently in Alliance, a small city in the semi-arid section of Nebraska, to consider transportation problems. More than half of those who register ed for the all-day meeting were ship pers of stock, grain, produce or manu factured articles; a large part of the remainder of the attendants repre sented carriers, chiefly railroad or ex yrcsr, companies. The president of the Burlington system sat humbly all ll.tl. life 11 . had to be especially called upon be fore he made a public utterance. The shippers of feed or range cat tle stated emphatically what they thought might be done by the rail roads or the stockyards to better the marketing conditions for the raisers and sellers; the stockyards men and the packers gave voice to their criti cisms or suggestions. The voice of the railway conductor or brakeman was heard with as much interest as that of the division superintendent. The potato raiser stood up and told of his troubles and the jobber an swered by telling the potato raiser some things about marketing that were not generally known; then the I jjjji ' ii 1 . . 1 . . . . ,, j tical problems they met in meeting all these various annoying circum stances. They all "knew their stuff" and spoke with authority. A govern ment crop statistician was present from Washington; railway commis sions from four states were repre sented. Several prominent western bankers sat and listened. The meeting referred to was of the Central Western Regional Ad visory ljoard. it has no standing under the law nor has it any official. connection with the railway com- A names or railwav commissions, ai-i though Commissioner II. G. Taylor is, and for two years has been the presi- dent and presiding officer of the board. Thn irritnr u'hn !iaf tlironffh the Alliance meeting in the capacity of af4 newspaper observer, had not thought :J it possible that such a degree of co-J!, operation could exist between thei shippers and the carriers. There wasJ scarcely a bitter word spoken, al-' though not a few speakers admitted l that they felt very differently betore they came to understand something of the difficulties of the other side. Perhaps the most practical matter discussed was that of shipping stock to the market in such a way thatj there was a fair distribution through-i out the week and the glutted market J of Monday, with attendant low prices, J be avoided. The feeders, snippers, j railroads, stockyards and packers all agreed that it should be remedied and all put their h.eads together to find a solution. The meeting was a wonderful dem onstration of the value of open dis- i cussion of common problems a prac-j tical school for the development or better public relations. THE NATIONAL PUZZLE In commenting on the Joint Stock Land Bank system, a leading bond house which is a wholesale distribu tor of tax-exempt government obli gations, makes the statement that while the farm loan system has made loans aggregating more than $100, 000,000 in northwestern Btates, in vestors residing in those states have purchased not more than $5,000,000 of the bonds. Continuing, the statement says the interest rates of the Joint Stock Land banks to the farmers are as low as 5 per cent fh some parts of the country and at no place do they ex ceed 6 per cent, and that being tax exempt in the same way as Federal Farm Loan bonds, these securities have become especially favored by in vestors whose incomes require them to place their money largely in tax free bonds. In the last statement is the com edy of the whole proceeding. Why should the law permit tax exemption to the purchaser of this purely com mercial paper? Why should the law furnish a method for investors to escape the taxation which must be levied for government needs and protection of all the people includ ing those who are exempted from tax payments? Why should the law on one band provide for taxation of all equally and then permit exemption for those most able to pay? Thi3 is a national puzzle to which no satisfactory answer is offered, today.
