The 'Republican high-command cannot agree on issues. Some want the economic and prohibition matters featured, while others favor the ancient war cry of "Tammany." Party leaders ruefully admit x that Calvin Coolidge wrecked a promising "issue" in a syndicated article pointing out that occasional corruption among city officials could not be monopolized by any one city or party.

The White House has made it known that no special meeting of the Congress will be called. The plea for another session this summer to relieve the unemployment situation has fallen on deaf ears. It will require something more than a loud cry to bring a call for the legislative body. The President and business map generally feel that economic recovery will be facilitated with Congress away. The answer is simple. An active legislature always holds a "big stick" over business' and stagnation is inevitable under such conditions. Easter Monday on the White House lawn will have an unusual appeal for the President this year. He will have with him the three grandchildren that came to cheer the stately mansion a few months ago. This annual festivity presents a spectacle in democracy for the thousands of school children making a holiday pilgrimage to the nation's capitol. The spacious grounds Bouth of the Executive Mansion are usually littered with egg .shells and Easter toys when the President walks and talks with his young guests. Photographs for this scene make more friends for Mr. Hoover than all the professional bal lyhoo of his partisans. It strikes a responsive chord and reveals a bond between the man in the White House and the man in a humble cottage. \ NOWS a fine time to buy a Hankscraft Electric Egg Cooker.

Hecht of New Orleans, Chairman of its Economic Policy Commission. Mr. Hecht said: "There are Just as good reasons why there should be state as well as national banks, as that there should be state aa well as a national government. I do not think that analogy Is farfetched. The states should not surrender al] political Jurisdiction to the central government, and the local business life of the states should not be^ made to surrender all control over ammftiftl functions to national financial Instrumentalities. There are many variations of business conditions from state to state and there are special fiscal requirements of the various states. "It is entirely logical, therefore, that tha states should retain the right to charter banks so as to mold and direct their affairs in accordance with" the states' governmental and business requirements and keep them adapted to localised sentiment and conditions. '"The argument is sometimes advanced that the dual system jeopardizes the life of the Federal Reserve System because under it there is a large group of banks that lire free to remain ovtt of or to withdraw from the Bystem. Facts and figures prove that this is a specious argument. "It is true that there has been some shifting from national to state charters especially in cases of mergers of large national banks with banks operating under state charters. However, the Federal Reserve System was not weakened in this process because the merged institutions almost universally retained their membership in the system on a voluntary basis. Moreover, the records show that state bank members are just as good members of the system as national banks and the ratio of state bank resources in the Federal Reserve System is constantly growing. In 1922, national bankB held about 65 per cent of the resources of reserve members, and state banks about 35 per cent, while in 1929, the nationals held only 60 per cent and state banks 46 percent. * Banking Systems Help Each Other e state and national avp helped each other, nking law has served ts as something of a model code toward which state banking laws more and more have approached year by year, so have the state codes developed valuable reforms which have suggested improvements for the national laws. A great many undesirable competitive inequalities have been wiped out by this mutual evolutionary process and further progress along the line of uniformity so far as is desirable is anticipated. "However, I do not believe that it is a disadvantage to have two banking codes that differ in some respects. It is quite probable that the state banking code in many instances represents a closer adjustment to local conditions than could be had under the national banking laws, and this is a situation that should be retained. There should, however, not be competition between the two banking codes. Competition should be betweeif^banks themselves and not between the laws under which they operate. The effort to offer too great allurements in one code as against the other could lead only to weak banking laws. But I do think that there should be the alternative opportunities that now exist which banking institutions and local business interests may choose, so that they can function or conduct their business relationships under that banking code which best meets the conditions of the times and of the place as they see them. "This has been illustrated in both directions. In states where such unsound measures as the guarantee of deposits were operative state banks had the opportunity to escape the baleful effect of Buch laws. On the other hand, when a court decision v®s handed down In Worcester, Massachusetts, which rendered uncertain the position of trust assets acquired by a national bank through a merger with a state bank, it was a real advantage for national banks affected to take out and operate under a state charter, either on a temporary or a permanent basis, as circumstances make expedient "In my opinion, bankqps, national as well as state, should combat the thought that conceives of depriving us of tha vitalising benefita^ML e#r dual system."
