-Madsen, 26, of Berth Amboy; John
Kondas. alias Bruno, of Cortland!

Hall last night.. Have Wilentt. of
Perth Amboy, represented the de

Alex Geak. of Perth Amboy, star
witness for the complainant, told of
the deposit at his home of the tires
on the night of the robbery, claim
ing no knowledge of when the tires

Stokes for Radical Changes in
Party Organization in Ber
gen County Speech
HACKENSACK, April 13 —Some
radical changes In party organiza
tion were proposed by Republican
State Committee Chairman E. C.
Stokes here last night at a meeting
of the Bergen County Republican
Committee, attended by Senate Pres
ident Mackay, of that county. The
former governor, although not com
ing out for the elimination of the di
rect primary, on which he promises
his views at a later date, asks for
a “representative convention, not to
nominate candidates, or in any way
to endorse candidates, but for the
sole purpose of making a platform."
The Republican chairman declares
that the party platform, or “party
creed,” should be "made by the
voters of the party, and not by the
candidates. Today our platforms are
merely candidates’ platform,” which
“a number of candidates, eager to
be elected, have constructed for the
sole aim and object ot winning and
election.”
“Let the people of the party make
the platform," says Mr. Stokes, “and
then the candidates could say wheth
er they would or would noj run upon
the platform the voters have made.”
Quoting from one Tacitus, of an
cient fame, the former governor fig
ures that there is little chance of a
democracy, as opposed to a repre
sentative government, In modern
times. He says that Tacitus tells
of the democracies in the German
forests, long ago, when each citizen
had the right to attend the legis
lature and debate and vote therein.
’ Tacitus says, however., according
to Mr. Stokes, that In those assem
blies, "nobody was allowed to dis
cuss a question unless he was drunk,
and then was not allowed to vote
until he was sober, under the theory
that he told the truth when intoxl-j
cated, but voted judiciously when he
sobered up.”
“That,” mourns the official head of
the “dry’’ party, “in view of the
Eighteenth Amendment, would seem
to be an impossible method of legis
lating today.”

RESERVE AGT
_
Congressman Appleby Acts
for Banks to Share in Fed
eral Reserve Earnings
WASHINGTON. April 13.—The
operation of the federal reserve bank
has received considerable attention
during the present session of con
gress by the committee on banking
and currency of the House of Repre
sentatives in an endeavor to further
strengthen the relation it maintains
with its member banks.
It was felt by some of the commit
tee that Inasmuch as the greater the
number of member banks the more
successful would be the operation of
the reserve bank, something should
also be done to induce state banks
and trust companies to become
members. As member banks must
clear through their federal reserve
bank and are denied clearance
through the various national banks,
there is not now the proper induce
ment for them to maintain their 10
per cent, with the reserve bank,
when they could place the money
with national banks in various cities
and receive interest on such funds.
To become a member of the federal
reserve system, it is compulsory for
member banks to maintain approxi
mately 10 per cent, of their deposits I
of children has been the direct re
sult.”
Secrflaiy of Agriculture Wallace
will discuss the unbalanced ratio cf
costs as between production and dis
tribution. Expensive distributing
and marketing systems. Wallace will
show, are cne of the big elements in
keeping up the prices of necessities.
Capper to TaJk
How trade condonations and
agreements, effected through “open
price associations," become a prop
to high r rices will#be explained by
Houston Thompson, chairman of the
Federal Trade Commission.
Senator Arthur Capper, leader of
the "farm bloc" in congress, will at
tempt to convert the delegates to
support of more active interest in
(O-operative associations and public
markets as the best means of com
bating both the evils presented by
Wallace and Thompson.
as balanco with their regional mem
ber. On this amount no interest is
paid, resulting in a loss of many
thousands of dollars per year to the
institutions.
In view of the Arm foundation on
which the federal reserve bank is
now established, and the certainty
of Its substantial earnings:—and
here it might be said that in the re
port of the governor of the federal
reserve board submitted to the Sixty
seventh congress, it was stated that
"for all federal reserve banks com
bined, total earning assets were
thirty-nine times as large in 1920 as
in 1915; federal reserve circulation
eighteen times as large; total dis
count and open-market operations.
314 times as large, and transactions
through the gold settlement fund.
Afty times as large:” it was felt that
an annual dividend of eight per
centum on the paid-in capital stock
would be much more equitable than
six per centum as is now paid under
the law.
There is no way in which the
member banks participate in the
earnings of the Federal reserve bank
and this increase of rate would, at
least, bring them a larger return on
their capital stock. To accomplish
this. Congressman T. Frank Apple
by. a member of the banking and
currency committee today introduced
a bill amending the federal reserve
act and providing that stockholders
shall be entitled to receive an annual
dividend of eight per centum on the
paid-in capital stock, which divi
dend shall be cumulative. The bill
was referred to the committee on
banking and currency, as a majority
of the members of this committee
have already expressed themselves
as favoring such legislation, it will
undoubtedly be reported favorably
to the House for action after hear
ings have been given.

To Act Against Stealing Farm
Products-Orders Issued
to That Effect
_ ;
TRENTON. April 13 —In order to
give the rural section* of the statt
the greatest amount of protection
possible. Colonel H. Norman
Schwarzkopf, head of the state con
stabulary. has just issued a list oi '
instructions to his men directing
them to give particular attention to
the mealing of fruit blossoms, fruit
and vegetables, and also chicken
stealing.
Co). Schwarzkopf states that tb«
approach of the spring time and
summer months always has a ten
dency to increase this class of thiev- [
ery. It is the purpose of the police
organization to reduce this crime to \
its minimum. Troop commanders
have been instructed to direct theii
men to co-operate with the various
organizations in th** rural district)*
toward the accomplishment of their
effort*.
I It is puimcu "ui *»« i*"!
to the men that the theft of any per- !
sonal goods is made a misdemeanor
liy statute. For the first offense, a 1
man convicted is liable to a penalty
of a sentence of no more than three :
years and SI.000 fine. For the see- :
ond offense, the law fixes a more
stringent penalty, namely, a prison
sentence of not more than six years.
The theft of “the whole or any |
part of any tree, sapling, shrub or |
underwood, or any plant, root,
fruit or vegetable production, wher
ever the same may be growing." is
also placed in this elass of crimes.
It Is the plan of the state police
man to closely watch the activities
of thieves in the rural sections, and
it is promised that men convicted
will he “soaked” to the very limit,
as provided by law.
It is understood that during the
last few years at this time of the
year, numerous thefts of goods and
property of farmers are made. It
has also been very difficult to "run
down those who are guilty.’’ but
with the members of the state con
stabulary keeping a careful vign
the practice is sure to come to a
sudden stop. The orders, as issued
by the constabulary head, have been
approved by Attorney General
Thomas F. McCran.
