Show BANKING SYSTEM OUTWORN By W. CHARLES COLLINS. Nw York Bank Lawyar. E OF this generation have inherited an antiquated and outworn system of banking. Our attempt in this modern age of mass production to give a banking service to business and the public through more than 25,000 separate and independent corporations, most of which are 6mall and weak and situated in the rural communities, is as much of an anachronism as would be the attempt to restore the horse and buggy to the arterial highways of the United States. In the old days when local communities were isolated the business of every small town was autonomous and the local bank could diversifj ita business. The bank was integrally associated with local enterprises It represented a cross section of the business of the community.

W. PICKARD Its arrival at Lakehurst, N. the Graf Zeppelin completed Its epochal trip around the world, In the course of which only three stops were made for refueling at Fried rtchshafen, Tokyo and Los Angels. The Zeppelin made a smooth landing at 8:07 oclock Thursday morning, having circled the globe In 21 days By EDWARD WITH and 7 hours, breaking all previous records. It had flown approximately 20,000 miles and wag In the air about f eleven and days. While the huge dirigible displayed most excellent qualities In the way of safety, speed and cruising ability, the lions share of the credit for the feat must he given to Pr. Hugo Kckener, the airship's Indomitable commander and chief pilot. His passengers and crew are giving him unstinted praise for the skill he showed throughout the trip. Every southern Culifornian who could get there greeted the Zeppelin at I .os Angeles, which was reached on Monday after a flight across the Pacific enlivened only by an electrb storm encountered soon after the de parture from Tokyo. As It passed down the California const the alt ship on Sunday had circled over San Fran cisco. The getaway from I os Angeles was not easy and quantities of ballast and extra equipment had to he dumped to give It enough lifting power. As It was, the dirigible barely avoided run nlng Into a network of high power electric wires near Mines field. An Interesting story comes from Japan to the efTect that the Zeppelin's safe crossing of the Pacific prevented the seppuka" or suicidal atonement of the five officers and twelve enlisted men of the Japnnese navy who held themselves blameuhle for the slight accident that the airship suffered in being taken from the hangar at airport Such action by the Japanese would have been In accord with their ancient custom, and the wives of the men might have followed them In death. one-hal- globe-entirelln- g a CLEVELAND was "up in the air" till week, enjoying the alrpluue cares and exhibitions of flying and the big aircraft exposition.

The trouble, which has been simmer lng for months, broke out with clashes between Arabs and Jews In Jerusalem, especially at the Wailing Wall where Jews have prayed for centuries, and which is the Inst remaining fragment of Solomons temple. The rioting spread rapidly, to the Slnboka rabbinical college and a Jewish school at Hebron, where the Jews killed In eluded a cumber of Americans, and hen to immv oilier places In lilies tine.

This would give the most complete diversification, making a bank failure as nearly impossible as human ingenuity can devise. In my opin ion, a system of branch banking such as exists in every other advanced country of the world is the only form adapted to modern conditions, the only form which will give to the public the safety and the service to which it is entitled. world-wid- as a hrigiidit r general commanding a brigade of Tennessee and Carolina troops attached to the Old Hickory" division, a hlch saw service In France.

Tradition through generations has raised him in the profession to an artist. We may as well realize that whatever may be our theoretical notions as to the common origin of law, citizens and officials alike carefully discriminate between law and law. In a democracy the best test of law is public accord. When that is lacking the law becomes a hollow phrase, devoid of the living spirit. No amount of mechanical tinkering can make it a living thing. The repeal of such a law merely prevents its already lifeless form from cluttering our statute books. As to President Hoovers crime commission, if it starts out in a spirit of adventure, discovers its own facts and draws its own inferences it will be a success. But if it accepts the views of the President in his address on law observance it will from the beginning be tied to an unrealistic view of the law which may well spell the wreck of the whole The lawyer today must CHINA Governors however, isolation has been wiped out by the automobile, telephone and radio. The local utility enterprises and other concerns have become absorbed by larger companies backed by great aggregations of capital, and their banking business goes to the large city bank.

DEMOCRACY FACING CRISIS By REV. CLYDE H LININGER. Indianapolis (Methodist). Loss of our idealistic tendencies is one of the weaknesses of our government. America is the largest, country ever to try the denioi ratio form of government, but we have lost some of our idealism. We dont find the high ideals that formerly characterized American life. One of the dangers we are facing is that of allowing minorifies to rule our civic righteousness. Our forefathers fought that wemight have a free country, and yet a large number of us pass up the right our forefathers fought for the right to rule ourselves and thus we lesve the minority in power. People seem to place the burden on the minorities nnd thus fail to assume the responsibility of shouldering their part of the load. Too believe men should out of people good many keep politics, when, in fact, good men should get into politics. Americans need courage, faith and leadership and the idealism to stand back of the leaders that are put into office. Democracy lies with the individual and the character of the citizens. NEED FOR BROTHERHOOD SPIRIT By DR JULIUS ATWOOD. Former Episcopal Bishop of Arizona. Right and wrong are undeniable facts of the universe. Although regarding prohibition and total abstinence, we must surethat drunkenness is wrong, and the laws of the nation must ly recognize be obeyed. It is harder to live for ones country than to die for it With the strong appeal these days for money and power, it is still harder. The integrity of our nation is at Stake when money and power are used dishonestly by our public officials. There cannot be a national faith without trust, a national fame without truthfulness and a national responsibility without justice. You and I are not only responsible for our own selves but for the welfare of all. What shall it profit a nation, as much as man, to gain the whole world and lose its own soul. The spirit of brotherhood, sympathy and service are needed in this new age to guide us, for men cannot worship Christ and the devil at the same time. The spirit of nira who firt gave us an expression of a true democracy will in turn give us perfect liberty as a nation. we may differ ORGANIZED LABORS POSITION B WILLIAM GREEN, President A. F ot L, Organized labor is as beneficial to great corporations as it is to the workers. We live in an age of organization. Individual effort alone can count for little these dais. Massed production is the watchword of our times. It is the duty of workers to organize so they can collectively protect their just interests. And in this way the important employers of labor also benefit. Organized units are more efficient and work mors intelligently. The American Federation of Labor is built upon constructive linej. We are unlike those who come preaching dangerous doctrines of revolution. We believe in this country and in its laws and customs and it is eu purpose to uphold those laws and customs. : News Notes : t Its a Privilege to Live In UTAH : Utahs lamb crop HEBER CITY in 1929 Is estimated at 1,458,000 head.
