Administration Favors
Lower Discount Rates
Looked Upon as Most Import-I
ant In Stimulating Business
and Equalizing Exchange
Washington, August 7. One of
the most important contributions to
the certain improvement of business
since the incoming of the Harding
administration has been the steady
lowering of the discount rate by Fed
eral Reserve Banks. The last re
duction of 5 1-2 per cent, effective
July 21 in the Reserve districts of
Boston, New York, Philadelphia and
San Francisco is the third since
March. At that time the discount
rate was at its peak 7 per cent. In
April it was reduced to 6 1-2 per
cent and in June to 6 per cent. While
all districts have not followed the
example of these four, it is expect
ed they soon will do so. In any
event the action of the four has far
reaching beneficial influence in the
money market as together they han
dle by far the majority of the na
tion's business.
It is considered of unusual signi
ficance in financial circles that the
Bank of England has followed the
example of these Reserve Banks
and made similar reductions in its
discounts at approximately the same
time they were made in this coun
try.
The whole purpose of these reduc
tions, with which the Harding ad
ministration is unusually sympathet
ic, is to make it easier for the bus
iness man, the manufacturer, the
shipper, the fanner, the investor to
get money and thereby furnish a
natural, legitimate stimulus to busi
ness. It is simply reversing the pro
cess that took place when the coun
try was on a spending spree and
money was being prodigally borrow
ed for speculative and non-productive
purposes. To stop that orgy the
discount rate was advanced. In other
words, the cost of hiring capital was
arbitrarily raised by the banks hav
ing the capital. At that time it was
good business, good banking, good
economics. I
Now the situation is reversed.;
Banks have capital piled up and idle.

The high wages charged by banks
for use of their capital was also
choking American enterprise, and re
tarding a return to normal conditions
in this country. The lowering of the!
rate induces borrowing, and starts'
again the turning over of capital. It
brings into circulation not the aris-'
tocratic dollar who moves about leis
urely at a high wage, but the demo
cratic nimble dollar which hustles
around to earn its moderate wage.
It will begin to eat away the wide
margin that now separates the amer
ican dollar from foreign exchanges
and thereby will stimulate foreign
buying in American markets.
that the largest Federal Reserve
Districts of this country and the
Bank of England have both low

be taken as positive proof that in the
opinion of the highest and wisest fi

and things are now on the road to
better times. It means ample credit
will be available to those who have
written their inventories down to
their proper value, that industrial
conditions will improve, that buyers
will again seek the market. It is the
administration's idea of helping bus
iness in a legitimate way without env
barking upon quasi-socialistic menY
ods.

Cleveland he was knocked down
three times in the seventh round,
and according to the official time
keeper, Wilson stayed down thir

eleven seconds the second trip.
Jimmy Gardner of Boston, who
Wilson insisted referee the fight,
claimed that he was fouled in get

down and awarded him the fight.

Speaking of moving picture actors,
a good story is told of one who was
suing a company for breach of con
tract. When asked by the court why
he claimed so large a sum he re

A few days later some of his
friends badgered him about the
mighty high opinion of himself ex
pressed in the statement. "I know
it must have sounded somewhat con
