N AM PA MAN SPEAKS
BEFORE TOWNSEND CLUB
Dr. W. C. Nolty of Nampa was the
principal speaker at the Townsend
meeting held Friday night hi the
Community church. He touched on
banking questions, saying that the
Federal banks were able to borrow
money from the government at a
low rate of Interest and then lend
it to their customers at a much in­
creased rate of interest. He likened
this to a pension for the Federal
banks, saying the officers of these
banks received $1000 per month at
the close of twelve years service and
their salary is $50,000 per month.
He warned the members of tlie
