Soap Keeps Twin Cities Present Rival Claims for New Reserve Bank CHICAGO, Jan. M.-IUval claims ot Minneapolis and St. Paul to be the loca tion ot the regional bank expected to be established In the Twin Cities were ur gently presented to Secretaries McAdoo and Houston at the federal reserve bank hearing here today. The arguments of the Minneapolis bankers wero based chiefly on the dominance ot that city In the grain Industry ot the northwest and Its larger banking figures. St. Paul pointed to the location there ot the fed eral offices and ot Its position as fos tering the live stock and diversified farm ing Interest of It territory. John J. Flanagan, president of the Na tional stock yards ot South fit. Paul, caused laughter when he declared after giving live stock statistic, "and St. Paul always has been a .great democratic city, If that has any bearing." "It has not," asserted Mr. McAdoo as soon aa tho laughter had subsided. "That Is the last fact that would have any bearing. This Is an economic question, not a political one." "It Is so far from having any bearing that tho statement wu an Improper one and should havo never been made In this hearing," said Mr. Houston. P. A. Chamberlain, opening for Min neapolis, gave Minnesota, the Dakota?, Montana and Washington as the logical northwest regional territory. John It. Mitchell of St. Paul left off Washington, but Included northern Wis consin. The attitude ot the secretaries was stated by Mr, McAdoo when he said to Mr. Chamberlain. "You nre making an argument as to the relative merits of St. Paul and Min neapolis. We want to know where a bank should be located best to serve this district, not where it would bo of best local service. We want to know simply what Is best for the elongated district you mention. It seems to ua that a bank located In cither city would servo aa Well. "Who handles the lumber business?" asked Mr. McAdoo of A. It. Chamberlain. "Is it financed at Seattle, Minneapolis, 8t. Paul or Chicago, or where?" "Minneapolis finances the whole region," declared Chamberlain. Tho hearing adjourned after bankers from Indianapolis, St. Joseph, Mo., and Springfield, 111., filed request to be In cluded In the Chicago district.
