While: this is hindsight, the action of the reserve sys

financial journals, the Commercial and Financial Chronicle,
during those years in solemn and lengthy editorials con

There is no suggestion that the directors of the federal

been freely asserted that their policy in 1927 was to sustain
prevalent prosperity through their open market Operaticms.

1 ! ' Power Program Safe- v
THE defeat of the Meier port biU. while a definite set
back for the governor personally does not mean a re
pudiation by the legislature of the so-called Meier program.
Those leading the fight against the Gordon substitute bill,
carefully declared they were not fighting the Meier power
PrCThe indications are that the Meier! power bills will go
through both houses of the legislature on well-greased
akids. Not a line will be changed save with the approval of
the Meier forces. The utility, interests are making no fight
for two reasons. One is they couldn't get anywhere if they
tried; , the second is they are not injured nor seriously
threatened by the impending legislation. . ., . .
So the power bills will become law. The Joseph plat
form, though badly mangled and scarcely recognizable in
some of the bills, will be duly acclaimed and carried out.
The legislature will adjourn and the papers, can say, like a
high school party, a happy time was ha4 by afl. j

They filed up the stairs and
through long, wide corridors! to
the west wing, Jane with Walter
and Bim and Reynolds and Em
bringing up the rear. Bim noted
that the rooms set aside for the
Baroness were above the ball
room and Imogene's room, she
judged, would be on the third
floor directly over th - dressing
room where Em and herself had
found the frightened Jan the
night, before. On the other side
of the- dressing room, Em re
