Reproduced from the Unclassified I Declassified Holdings of the National Archives
which wo are requested to indicate Dallas as our first choice for
a Federal Reserve Bank,, whereby a district is created placing
Oklahoma in the same district with Texas, Hew Mexico, Arkansas, and
Louisiana*
We desire to protest against Oklahoma being placed in
the district as outlined on this card.
Such a district would be
a positive handicap to the banks of Oklahoma, instead of being a
help as the spirit of the law contemplates.
But seven and a half
per cent of our business is on Texas points, the balance is comprised
of Oklahoma and Eastern business.
As was outlined at the bank hearing in Kansas City,, the
bulk of the business of this state goes to that point, and a
greater part of the balance to St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Hew York.
Speaking from an experience of about six years as a
National Bank Examiner in this state, will say that the general
trend of business from the greater part of Oklahoma is to the north
and east.
The only part of the state which does business to any
great extent with Texas points is the Southern row of counties in
the cotton district, and even in these counties the greater bulk
of the business, compared the year around, tends to the north and
east.
As we have heretofore advised the Committee the trend
of our business, first of all, places us in the district of which
Kansas City is the center, and if it is desirous of forming a larger
district than this, our business would naturally come in the St. Louis
district.
It is imperative, however, that we be attached to one
or the other of these two cities.

Reserve Bank Organization Com m ittee,
Washington, D . C.
Gentlemen:
(1)
In our choice of all locations for our Federal
Reserve Bank, Dallas would be First
I
(Indicate choice by checking)
j
(2)
If your com m ittee should create a District com posed substantially of Texas, Oklahoma, N e w M exico, Arkansas, south of the Arkansas River and Louisiana, west of the
Mississippi River, Dallas would be our choice over the other
cities in that District for the location of the Federal Reserve
Bank.
Respectfully,

Washington, D. C.
Dear sir;I sincerely hope and believe that you will con
tinue to hold to the opinion that Hew York city shall not
absorb forty to fifty per cent of the capital allowed for
Regional Reserve Banks. In my humble opinion it is not wise
and
under section 11, sub-division b of the banking law
it is not necessary, the bank’s^be co-ordinated at the will
of the Federal Reserve Board by the vote of five of its mem
bers. The question of Capital is of small importance, as
suming that the $4,000,000.00 stock will be taken by the inporated banks of Hew York, or that immediate section, as the
member banks will own it and will necessarily have to stand
behind it from motives of self interest.
It seems to me that the same is true as to all the Regional
Reserve Banks, as being owned by the banks, they will represent
the wisdom and strength of all the incorporated banks of the
nation,joining the system.
Our Country is so large and our interests are so scattered
and diversified that the wisdom of the Congress is apparent in
providing for not less than eight banks. Is hardly conceivable
that the Manager or the Directors of a bank in the mining sec
tion
our land would be competent to pass upon the worth of
securities having for their basis cotton, cattle etc., or that
the management of a bank in this section would be competent to
pass on the worth of securities based on stocks and bonds in
the east. These are some of the many reasons why the law
should be placed in operation as passed by the Congress.
While under our State law I do not see how we can join the
system and derive direct benefits therefrom, I am in thorough
accord with it and believe that it is the greatesipiece of
constructive legislation passed in many years. With great
respect, I am
Yours very truly
AHSWEREB
President.

Hon. W. J. McAdoo,
O/o Treasury Department,
Washington, D. C.
Dear
MoA&oo:-
Y o u will excuse me for
thus informally addressing you.
You will
remember meeting me at Austin on the occa
sion of the regional bank hearing.
You
very kindly gave everyone an opportunity
to be heard.
I desired then to say some
thing.
But after our friend, Gol. Ball,
had finished, I concluded I would not,
but would, write you.
I reached the con
clusion that you and Dr. Houston held
some views w i t h which I w a s not in ac
cord.
It is to those matters that I n ow
v/ish to direct your attention.
I agree w i t h y ou that the m at
ters involved are wholly non-political.
It follows that I further agree that the
loyalty of 'Texas to t h e administration
is not a matter to be considered in this
connection.
Y ou are charged w i t h the
duty of locating the banks where they
will best subserve the public good.
It
nay be that to properly discharge that
duty, you will be obliged to locate one
or more of them in territory entirely
hostile to the administration.
Wit h
these preliminary statements I wish to
suggest that it is an unwise policy to
locate the regional banks only in terri
tory that is self supporting.
She n e
cessity for regional banks I s that the Gov
ernment may supply from convenient points
the m oney to issue which is an exclusive
governmental function, to meet the de
mand.
T h e territories without sufficient
k l J J 91143? 3

#2.
financial resources need these banks rather
than the territory that is able to take
care of itself. Our banks have heretofore
been compelled to call on Hew York during
the crop moving season for funds needed
for that purpose.
Instead of being obliged
to call on IJew York, as I understand, the
Government proposes to give us the oppor
tunity to call*on its regional bank, which
:vlll be able to supply the funds.
In other
words, it is x?roposed to place it beyond
the power of private individuals, wherever
situated, to manipulate the money market
to the detriment of the public. The Govern
ment proposes now to assert its rightful
prerogative to take charge of that situa
tion itself.
Hy own individual opinion is that
throughout the cotton belt there ought to
be as many regional banks as can reasonably
be established by the Government under the
terms of the bill. Of course, the other
portions of the country must oe cared for.
But under the methods made necessary in
moving the cotton crop immediate relief
is often necessary. A country bank during
that season often finds on the closing of
a business day, which is to say not earlier
than four o'clock in the afternoon, that
it is obliged to have §20,000.00, 150,000.00,
or more, by the opening of business the fol
lowing morning. There is no time to se
lect paper, named by the banking act, and
send it to St. Louis from Texas, and there
have the officers of a regional bank pass
upon its sufficiency.
The usual custom is
to really have the bank with which it does
business to send it money, making request
by wire, and send the collateral afterwards.
This, perhaps,* could not be done with a re
gional "'bank. But the regional banks should
be so located that the borrowing country
bank ccaid reach it at least in a few hours,
and thus save itself from embarrass
ment, if not failure. V/ith a regional
bank in St. Louis to serve the great cotton
district of Texas such a course would be
impossible. Located at Dallas the regional
bank could be reached from any point of the
cotton district in a few hours. Located
in St. Louis, it could not be reached in
Reproduced from the Unclassified I Declassified Holdings of the National Archives
less than twenty-four hours, and from some
points not in forty*-eight hours,
That
course would make the regional hank wholly
inadequate, and would in my opinion soon
render t h e system more or less unpopular.
I repeat that it is the "borrowing
section that needs the regional banks.
It is the rich and developing section in
w hich the crops are large and new enter
prises being developed that needs the money
for investment.
If the theory that the
non-borrowing section alone should have t h e
regional banks, then they would all be lo
cated outside the great west and south wh i c h
are in their infancy in development, compared
with the east.
How as to t h e branch b a n k idea.
It seems to me that that is not at all con
sistent wi t h the administration's position.
The theory of the banks was they needed one
central b a n k and all the rest branches on
the theory that the branches would serve the
public better wi t h one central ba n k than if
they had a number of regional banks.
The
adininistration, however, ador)ted the oppo
site policy.
It thought twelve were needed.
In that I think it was right.
Shat position
was subsequently receded from before the
bill was enacted into a law.
It was a slight
concession made to the centralized, antiadministration idea.
Snowing the Texas sit
uation as I do I do not believe that the
branch bank coiild be made as satisfactory
as one of the regional banks.
The b a n k is needed here.
The m o v
ing of the vast cotton crops demand that it
he located here.
You will doubtless remem
ber that the evidence showed that there were
more than two million bales of cotton bought
in Dallas and Ft. W o r t h , *coming from Texas
and Oklahoma points.
Counting Sixty dollars
a bale, which is scarcely the average price
paid, yo u find that there is $120,000,000.00
needed to handle that crop at Ft. Worth and
Dallas only, and that during a very few
months, and as before stated it must be fur
nished very promptly.
The man who sells
that cotton wants his money.
He sells it
Reproduced from the Unclassified I Declassified Holdings of the National Archives
to a "buyer. The buyer gets his money from
the ‘bank, depositing the cotton as security.
That bank is obliged to either get the money
from some other bank or the regional bank,
but it mast be rapidly supplied, or thus
the bankers supplying the money to buy the
cotton will be compelled to close their
doors, a condition against which the Govern
ment desires to protect the public*
Another suggestion which was so
frequently made at the Austin hearing is that
the law contemplates and expressly provided
that due regard must be paid to *6he natural
trend of the business of the particular
section*
I think it was made manifest to
you that the trend of lexas business is
not St* Louis in any way. First, the money
has not been obtained from St* Louis, be
cause the truth is that St. Louis has not
had the money to lend; and second, the crops
to move which the money is needed, are not
moved toward St. Louis, but in the oppo
site direction.
It means this, therefore,
that the cotton crop constituting the great
2exas staple moves south and southeast by
way of Galveston or Uow Orleans, The money
to move that crop has been heretofore ob
tained from Hew York, not from St. Louis.
She only effect of placing a regional bank
in St* Louis would be to compel our people,
contrary to ouston, to go to St. Louis for
money, not because St. Louis has the money
that we want, but because the Government
may see fit to place its money in St. Louis
for our use, rather than to place it in
Texas where it would be much more conven
ient. This it seems to me is unwise and
hardly in conformity with the provision
of the law above mentioned.
What I have said just above does
not apply to a part of West Sexas and a
part of ft. Worth. Frankly, there is some
of the commerce of that section covered by
the cattle industry that moves to Kansas
City. There would be some reason if that
constituted all of Texas, to put the re
gional bank in iCansas Oity rather than St.
Louis, bxrfc that would only accommodate the
cattle men, and would afford no possible
Reproduced from the Unclassified I Declassified Holdings of the National Archives
relief to the agricultural interests who do
not s".ip anything to Kansas Gity sny more
than to St. Louis, nor do they go to Sonsas
City for financial accomodations.
She
result, therefore, of establishing a bank
at Kansas City of St. Louis, so far as the
general commercial interests of the stc.te
ar e ccr.aoiv-ad, would be to compel that bus
iness to go in a channel to St* Louis, in
which it does not now move*
If the regional bank were es
tablished for the territory suggested at
tho hearing, however, the question would
then arise that supposing that Oklahoma
and Hew He;:ico should prefer St. Louis to
Dallas be correct, and that if they were
forced to Dallas they would be forced out
of their natxiral connections,
would it
not be wiser to compel such a small per
centage of people to go to a place equally
as convenient to them as St. Louis, as it
would be to compel the people of Sexas
constituting seventy-five i>er cent of the
entire people involved to go to St. Louis,
away from their business connections? Of
course, I can well understand that it is
impossible to so construe or administer any
law as to secure absolute harmony with the
principles upon which it is based. But
we must approximate that harmony as nearly
as we can. I, therefore, submit that it is
more in harmony with the principles of this
bill to even compel a portion of Oklahoma,
Arkansas and Louisiana to come to Dallas,
than it would be to compel all of Texas to
go to St. Louis. There is where we get the
rough, but rather inaccurate expression that
is approximately correct, that the Government
must adopt that policy which secures the
greatest good to the greatest number. But
I do not -believe that any part of the ter
ritory would be more inconvenienced by
coming to Dallas than in going to St.Louis.
I am writing you personally and
•privately for the reason that I did not
care to say in public what I am saying to
you here now. But I felt like justice to
my state demanded that I should make known
the views entertained not only by myself
Reproduced from the Unclassified I Declassified Holdings of the National Archives

Jcu
but by many others, and that is that the
regional bank ought to be established in
Texas. Hy selfish interests may uncon
sciously infltience my judgment, but I be
lieve that Balias is the point at which it
should be located, because it would be much
more accessible to people of Oklahoma and
other parts of the district outlined, in
cluding Arkansas and Louisiana, than
Houston, or any other point in Texas.
It
would be much more convenient to the cotton
belt of Texas considered as a whole than
any other point.
Its business interests
are so much larger than Ft. V7orth that it
has decidedly the advantage over it.
I trust you will not regard this
as an intrusive letter, but written with
no other purpose than to place before you
the view that generally prevails among
our best business people here, none of
whom desire to be understood as treating
this as a political matter, or as indulging
in unfriendly, but only in friendly sug
gestions. She fact that Texas is support
ing the actaiui strati on or not supporting
it is wholly irrelevant, and I am sorry
that any such suggestion was made. For
get it is my suggestion on that xooint.
With kindest personal regards,
I am,
Yours very truly

Dear sires
From th© beet information, .that l have, £ ac: of the opinion
that you are among th® leading dealers of the country engaged in th©'
purohase of county and muniolpal bonds, That, being th* ca»«, an expres
sion from you will be appreciated, and may he'of material service in.
the inauguration of some reforms in the way of legislation to correct
some evil* and abuses, that are now in existence in my state,
"'At'present’we are just on the'verge of an era of prosperity and
developement and there is no«r a general movement on in the way of roadbuilding and drainage,in my section, there are more. drainage districts
being organised than those, for-roads, and-there .is quite a* number
of these districts being organised, but in other* sections of the state
no necessity exists only for roads.
There seems to be a general movement or & oombinat ion of a
number of bond houses, ana their local repressnatives, to restrict com
petition and exclude many reputable bond dealers from our markets thru
different questionable methods and thereby monopolize th# purchase of
our securities and get them below par.They set up the f*aot» that a fi:4
percent road district or d & a in a g e district bond will not sell for par,
and the only way to ever realise on those securities is to sell them to
the contractor, that is,the contractor will take th€ bonds over, in con
sideration of t m contract, and put his figures considerably In excels
of what would really be the eeftliibait least cash basis the contract
could be secured for, and discount the bonds in that way, by giving the
bond dealer his share of the discount and evade the spirit of the law
in that way, as the law provides, that the bonds shall not bear more
than
per cent interest and shall not be sold below par and accrued
interest,
Now this process of disposing of the bonds thru the road or
drainage commissloner-contractor combination method of discount,means
fcfcat graft is too apparent, in many instances, to be long tolerated
by an intelligent people, which .makes it imperative, that e have souse
remedial legislation to correct these abuses, otherwise thi developement
of our state is goin^to be retarded to the detriment of Its welfare.
At present, X am more interested In the drainage district
problem. Wo are net in the region of stamps, by any m^ans, and our lends
are high class, tillable agricultural lands, producing good crops of
both c o m and cotton, but the level coastal plain requires some' arti
ficial means of drainage, in order to get an excessive rainfall off be
fore material damage to the growing crops,so that, b^ing the case,
drainage is a good investment for us,
teygeme Ke«r£ feature of our drainage laws have been upheld by ur
supreme Court, the highest court of jurisdiction*the taxable values of
each of the two districts, in which w# are getting 4#* bonds for, are bet
ter than fifteen to one, in proportion to the taxable values, and the
bond issues considered and © on t w : 4 at ed,'-ven with all this, we have not
received but littM- encouragement toward the end, which we are striving,
,
to sell bonds and let contracts in a wanner, not to have any semblance A T
attached thereto.rfow, the mission of icy letter is to get your views in
the matter, as to how to meet these abuses, ily view of the tffair is,
that-the-time-is now at--hand, that our laws relating to- these -matters
should either be repealed or amended, as from the present trend, matters
are taking, it is unsafe to bond a district for improvement#♦Your
view® in the matter will be appreciated.
In order, that you may determine, whether my I am worthy of your
consideration or not, i will refer you to, a«k* lesthoff. President,

Some time ago tlie El Paso Clearing House wrote us along*
this line and we wrote them stating our views and we did not
attend the meeting: there on the 8tlx inst. for the reason we did
not t&ink SI Pas© would ask that Reeves and Pecos Counties be
placed in that District when there are only two National banks
in the two counties and both banks wanting to be placed in an
A s t e r n District#
We shall appreciate very much your careful consideration
of this letter and ask that, in case such a district as El Pas©
is asking for be fomed, that Pecos & Reeves Counties be left
out and that both counties be put in an Eastern District*
You. will note that both counties are on the line as
proposed by &1 Paso and can be left out Just as well as to be
left in the district. This is very important to us and we hope
the Committee will consider our claim since there are no ethers
to be effected by our request.

Hearing at_
San Antonio, Texas,
February 27, 1914,
Messrs. McAdoo, Houston & Williams,
Organization Committee,
Treasury D e p a r t m e n t ,
Washington, D. C*
Gent lemen:
A full and exhaustive presentation w as made to
you in behalf of the state of Texas, for the location of
a reserve bank in that state, at the hearing in Austin,
but I be g to emphasize general controlling considerations
om the subject -which, it seems to me, make the location of
a reserve bank here imperative, under a just interpretation of the law.
i^p
I
1. Texas is the fifth state in population in the
Union and is growing mo r e rapidly, perhaps, than any
state.
2. Texas is the second state in the Union in the
number of banks, and, c o n s e q u e n t l y , will have more m e m
ber banks and a greater population to serve than sny
state in any district of w h i c h Texas can properly be made
a part .
3. Texas is one of the only seven states in the
Union having
banking
capital end surplus sufficient to
provide the capital for a reserve bank.
The other six
states are New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massachusetts,
Ohio and California.
It is quite probable that reserve
banks will be located in each of those states, and, there
fore, it would 3b>e downright discrimination against Texas
to deny it equality w i t h them.
This denial would be heightened from the fact
that Texas is the only Southern
state wi t h sufficient
capital and surplus to supply the capital for a reserve
bank of its own, its capital and surplus of its national
banks now aggregating $76,000,000.
Besides this, Texas
is the only state in any district of w h i c h it can legiti
mately be made a part that can, unaided, provide the c a p i
tal for a reserve bank, and hence it follows that Texas
will easily be the largest state contributor to the capi
tal and deposits of a reserve bank in any district of
^
Reproduced from the Unclassified / Declassified Holdings of the National Archives
-2w h i c h it can be made a part.
The injustice of making
Texas a subordinate state im such a district is obvious,
and needs no elaboration.
Against these incontrovertible facts and the
logical end to which they lead ,the suggestion has been
made that Texas should not be given a reserve bank b e
cause a n y such district would be a borrowing district .
There is grave doubt that this is the proper construc
tion of the law, but, admitting it for the purpose of
a r g u m e n t , the situation does not justify its application
here.
Texas is not more a borrowing state than any
other section of the United States to w h i c h it m ay be
contiguously attached, and, in addition, Texas has a great'
er power of U i q u i d ' S t i o n than any section to which it may
be properly linked.
This is true because the principal
crop of the state is cotton, which, as has been pointed
out in argument before the Committee, is liquidated to
the extent of mo r e than eighty per cent annually into
cash balances for Texas, and to a great extent into c a s h
balances for the United States, through the exportation
of this crop.
Furthermore, the loanable fund
of the
district of w h i c h Texas is proposed to be the central
state, in the application w h i c h has been made by represen
tatives of Dallas and other Texas cities, exceeds the
largest sum borrowed by the banks of the district the past
year.
This does not take into consideration the enlarg
ed financial power of the reserve bank to issue notes.
It is also true, as a matter of fact, finally, that the
Texas region is less a constantly borrowing region than
that contiguous to the City of St* Louis, to w hich it
has be e n proposed to attach our state.
The proposed Texas
district will be able to finance itself, I am assured by
financiers, not only for eight months of the year but also
during the crop m a turing
period of the other four months.
On this showing Texas is entitled
as a matt e r
of right and just ice
to a reserve bank, and the well known
attitude of the state to the administration w h i c h framed
the law
should not provoke a decision w hich would have
the appearance of discrimination against a friend whose
hostility nothing possible can excite.
Very truly yours,

Mr. McAdoo,
Secretary of th® Treasury, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:I have read with considerable pleasure your
position taken on the Regional Bank question, and as far
as I have been able to learn of your views through the press
I am in sympathy with your views.
The sentiment seems in
most places to serve a selfish interest by those seeking the
location of these banks.
Early in the incepiency of this
legislation, I took the matter up with our Congressman, Mr.
Henry, but on account of receiving no response, I then took
the matter up direct with President Wilson.
If you will permit
the honor of giving you my views on this question, I will
outline them in as small space as possible.
In the first place banking institutions should-be
located to serve the greatest interest, that interest
be based upon the commodities handled.
For the South, we *
should have a Re-discount bank located in the City of New
Orleans, as that is the most logical point for the financing
of our cotton drafts, and the rediscounting of paper made
for the growing and production of cotton, as well as the
handling of same.
Then there should be one located in
Chicago, as that is the logical point for the financing
of the products of the grain growing West; then one to be
located in San Francisco, to facilitate the handling of

exchange on the Orient; then on® in New York City* for the
purpose of handling the manufacturing East,
In my address
to the President, I called attention to these matters, and
suggested a change in our banking laws, permitting those
banks located in these different zones to subscribe from their
surplus fund an amount in a central of regional bank, in pro
portion to their capital stock and the capital stock of the
Regional Bank; letting the President of each state banking
organization represent the members of that respective state
on the Board of Directors of the Regional Bank, with a member
of each Regional Bank as a co-representative, as this would
give each banking institution full information and represen
tation in all banks concerned.
The banks would then be under
the supervision of bankers versed in the requirements of
each section of the country, and a knowledge of the securi
ties offered.
In this manner the centralization of deposits
would be taken from a few banks in New York and distributed
throughout the country, and then should there be a plethory
of money in any one section, this surplus could be made to
work in those sections experiencing a scarcity; it would
further serve the interest of the people as a whole, on
account of those loans made in New York, would then fee made
strictly on a * Call n basis and not deposited as at the
present time.
Thanking you for the time taken, and trusting
that this much discussed question may get down to a solid
b a sis,

Hon. W. G. McAdoo,
% Reserve Bank Organization Committee,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
As our Cashier was absent I was unable to
ing of your Committee at Austin February 9th.
I note from the papers in Texas, with extreme regret, that
indications seem to point that there will be no Reserve Bank in
Texas, and most probably none West of the Mississippi, unless
right on the banks at St. Louis, Minneapolis or New Orleans.
Of course, I know that Newspaper Correspondents may not
understand what is in the minds of the Committee, and that your
Committee may not have resolved upon any such action.
As a business man who takes some small interest in politics
I wish to say that both from a business standpoint and the stand
point of a Democrat, I think it will be a great mistake if the
Reserve Banks are all placed East of the Mississippi, or in cities
lined immediately on the West bank, and if the great West and
Southwest is ignored except by one at San Francisco, it seems
to me that such a course would hardly be in consonance with the
principle of the present Currency Bill which seems to have been
to decentralize money as near as possible and give the whole
country a chance. For instance, we here would be nearly 800
miles from St. Louis and not much nearer to New Orleans.
If the Government is going to require National Banks to
keep their reserve in these Reserve Banks they should be made
reasonably accessible to us in the great West.
Texas is over
800 miles across, and in the extreme West, St. Louis or New
Orleans would be even more inconvenient than to this place.
An Hon. T. H. Ball stated at ‘ (Austin* "The great State of
Texas 6ught not to be made the tail of a dog to be wagged by
St Louis” and while Texas is a Bemocr^tic State and will still
stand by the administration,
If the West is ignored, you cannot
expect the mountain States like Colorado and Montana to have
the same party devotion that Col. Ball proclaims.
In my humble judgment the great West should be recognized
even though in so doing it should be necessary to increase the
number of Banks to twelve, as provided by law.
I have not one cent of interest in Dallas, nor in any Dallas
Bank, but sincerely trust that Dallas may be made a place for
location of one of these Banks, and also hope that Denver and
Seattle, as well as San Francisco shall be recognized.

When we are doing business with private Banl© then there is
competition between them in accoimnodatiors and in courtesy, and we
can afford to do business with Banks even a long way off, but when
we are required by law to place our reserve in a Bank controlled
by the Government, if we are so far distanced that the expense of
consultation with the managers of it eat up the profit of obtaining
accommodations through it, we might as well do business with private
organizations with whom we have established lines of credit, and
where we would not have to get acquainted in order to have some
standing.
If the new system is to be popular with the people then it
should be brought as close to them in every part of the Union as
the law will permit.
I do not think there is much in the theory that seems to be
in the minds of some of the Committee that a Bank in Texas or
Colorado will not be strong enough to serve its community,
I
think that it will, and if not that the powers of the Reserve B oard
are sufficient as to be of
assistance at any time through
banks where the balances are larger.
I am reasonably sure that
most of the Banks in Western Texas have far more business with
Kansas City than with St. Louis.
We, ourselves, would feel if
wehad to have our reserve bank in St. Louis, that we would just
have that much dead money tied up, for all matters under the control
of the Government are usually so much a matter of set regulation
and red tape that it would be hard to do anything by correspondence.
I am a little afraid that as the Secretary of the Treasury
and the Comptroller live on the S y s t e m .seaboard, and the Commissioner
of Agriculture is now a citizen of St. Louis, that the Committee
does not fully appreciate the needs of the great West, and the
importance of placing some of the Banks in this great territory.
I would not want any sound business rule disregarded for
political effect, but half of the Union cannot be ignored in selection
of these Banks without a feeling of resentment from the territory
ignored, which feeling would certainly be displayed at election time
and might turn the scale in States that are closer politically than
Texas.

Mr. M. C. E l l i o t t j S ecretary,
Reserve Bank O rganization Committee,
Washington, D. C.j
Dear S i r :
I have your l e t t e r o f the 16th acknowledging r e c e ip t o f
my l e t t e r o f February 11th, and thank youvery much fo r the
assurance re ce iv e d th erein .
i?e here in Texas f e e l very stron gly on th is s u b je ct, and
in th is connection would thank you to c a l l the a tte n tio n to the
Committee to the en closed clip p in g from thp^Dal&as Nev/s o f today,
which in a great measure r e f l e c t s the sentiment o f Texans.
For years, owing to the p op u la tior^ lim it requ ired b efore
a c it y could be appointed a Reierve c i€ y , we could not have any
Heserve Agents in Texas. B eini th u syforced to keep our reserves
elsew here, we b u il t up business connections at Kansas C ity, St.
L ouis, Chicago and Mev/ York.
lThe/Law req u irin g reserves kept
in those c i t i e s has helped the ibanps i n c i t i e s away from Texas,
and given them a lending ca p a city /th a t they would not have had
but f o r t h is , and i t now seems fcj/consi sten t to say that a law which
was intended to promote banking the country over, should be
so construed as to s t i l l requ ire our reserves to be kept in
c i t i e s b u ilt up under the o ld system rather than give our more
newly appointed reserve c i t i e s in Texas a showing, and i t looks
queer to a Democrat to see the law so construed th t most o f
the South v/ould be attached lik e conquered t e r r it o r y , to our
Northern c i t i e s , and I c e r ta in ly tru s t that such w ill not^be the
a c tio n o f a Committee, two o f vhose members are from the &outh,
in making up' the D is t r ic t s , as I do not think that would be
e ith e r good business or good p o l i t i c s .
Yours r e s p e c t fu lly ,

F in ally , i f a region is nearly indepen

view w ou ld be o f use o n ly p o litica lly i f it
w ou ld
cause that decen tralization o f
m oney en erg y w h ich is n o w .in N ew Y ork.
The theory contend ed fo r b y the iSlemp his d elega tion w a s t h a t the bill is in
tended to perm it those states that are

they are v isible o r m arketa ble as ba^ee

T he south sh arply needs m oney on ly in
the fa ll o f the year, and it needs m on ey
then becau se o f the v e r y abundan ce o f its
w ealth.
M oney at last is but a m easure or a

wealth, and th em is so m u ch w ealth
masked here a t one tim e that m uch ex
ch an g e is needed or m a n y m easurin g in
strum ents.
One m igh t urge tha.t if the sou th is so
p rod u ctive it should have m on ey enou gh
to finance itself.
T h a t w ou ld be true
if the expansion in the sou th halted, but
e v ery time the m en in the so u th get
$100,000 surplus m oney they do not invest
that m on ey b y puttin g it in a bank ana
letting it out a t interest. T h e y b u y land

south m akes $5,000 o v e r ahd ab ove e x
p enses he puts it into m ore land o r uses
it in clearin g m ore land.
T he south, then, w ill n ev er be selfsustaining until it has reached the fu ll
ness o f its m aterial d evelopm ent, until
all the fields are tilled and until all the
m a n u fa ctu rin g enterprises are established.
In v e ry tru th w h en a region becom es
fin ancially independent that region be
com es in som e w a y s decadent.
T here is an en orm ou s surplus o f m on ey
in N ew E nglan d.
It seeks aven ues o f
investm ent in other p laces becau se the
agricu ltu ral lim it in N ew E n glan d has
been re a d ie d and m a n u fa ctu rin g in N ew
E nglan d is carried on to the u tterm ost

J. R. Babcock, Secretary,

Dallas, Texas.
My dear Mr# Babcocks
In accordance with your recent inquiry, beg leave to
advise that the Dallas Post Office is dispatching each day 111 pouches
to towns in the State of Texas, and 65 pouches are dispatched to Bailway
Post Office Lines. The latter are in addition to the 111 pouches dis
patched. This office receives 80 pouches daily from other Texas towns
in addition to -sshich we receive 57 pouches from Sailway Mail Post Office
Lines.
In this connection beg leave to say that the number of mails (pouches)
exchanged with Post Offices and Hailway Post Offices depends of course
upon steam and electric railway facilities for transportation, and as ad
ditional facilities are afforded, it is the policy of the office to
immediately take advantage of them.
If I can be of any further service to you, I will take great pleasure
in being called upon.
Respectfully,
