Beck s lieitor general, to the Isaer As:ocia :i'n in Cincinnati. It's subieet is, "Our .awless Age." Mr. Peck refers to the unprleceden N (lIlallenge the world over, "to all ntstituted authority," reaching; the eat ''printmjtive institutions (.f man l: like the family, the church and "it state." It is a powerful address l-zt I think Mr. Beck is wong, in that hi attributes this condition entirely t'1 moral or spiritual cau'es. He 'd's refer to the "aversion to work ' prevalent everywhere," and this is tie key to the problem. My own be If beiing that it is fundamentally a "rebellion" against an industrial sys It in, whicih denies to the Creators of weatlt.h, a fair share of the tro :.) t (f tiei' toil. Hie says that the individual is no 1ger the unit. of socenty, which is 'solutely true. The class of com-. tatiolt has succeetlei individualis. jcle;'ical a"Ielence of this ag;e of lsts.

I mrakes it an iconoclastic age. TI, cecasing brooding over wrong ha: '4ver been the trenmetndous level which from age to age has lifte< :nankindi from onie epoch into ana 'ether. A mighty evolutionary forc< is now at work, and "the rebellior against constituted authlotrity" witl the nmcral and spiiritual c'onvulsions which excite the attetntion of scholar like Mr. Beck, are otnly the' tremior. wvhich pre'cCede the ear'thquake shoed andl the final setting dotwnt.

Take your finaticial trouble in Nortl D)akota. They are of a kind whici ~are occurring in every agricultura section of' the United States r~oubles which atre directly traceabi< to the administration of the Federa Reserve banking law, in the interes of a small favored class of our citi 1Etns. The r'el~rt c~f the cohip~troller o the cuirretcy shows that four or fily times as mucb money was loaned t< national banks itn .New York and Chi cago in pr'operltionl to their r'esour'ces on bills payable anid rediscounts, .a to all the country banks ini propor tin to theitr resourcesi. 'The federal~ reserve act, in theory i: has been the most rapacicus and 'au tocratic with w1hi.h olir people have S ever been cursed. While lr. Beck f: was talking about "the rebellion 3 t::n'inl.it -cons tituted authority." hed reas blind tc the cruel an:d flagrant J vi.olalic.i of'the spirit of this law, by t these so highly placed as to be above F law and immune to. punishment. P The banks where there was no dis- f tress were lavishly s5u'pplicd with money and credit, while the country banks wer hemstrun.

In addition to tis the oflicial figures show that four) bank 0 in New York were loaned twice' :1: much 'as the maximum amount loaned at any one time on agricul tural paper in 1920. Mir. Williams also makes the state ment that countr~y banks were carry in; two billion more loans than all the banks in New York, Chicago and St. Louis. What sinister purpose could have inspired the piling up of all thd money of the country in three big cities, except to have denation entire ly at the expense of agriculture. Your state is purely agricultural and. of course your new banking plat was hit hard with the rest of us, ard your political enemies are trying to bold you responsible, but I believe the fa rmeris, are too intelligent to swal low such rut.
