The first step was when the city was selected as a station along the transcontinental airmail route.

    X-6737 TUB DISCOUNT RATE CONTROVERSY BETWEEN THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD and THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK -1- November [1st approx., 1930. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in its Annual Report for the year 1929, stated: "For a number of weeks from February to May, 1929, the Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York voted an increase in the discount rate from 5% to 6%. This increase was not approved by the Board." Annual Report, Page 6. ~2~ The above statement makes clear the error of the prevailing view that the discount rate controversy lasted from February 14, 1929, - the date of the first application for increase in discount rates, - to August 9, 1929, the date of the Board's approval of the increase from 5% to 6%. The controversy began on February 14, 1929, but practically ended on May 31, 1929. On May 22, 1929, Governor Harrison and Chairman McGarrah told the Board that while they still desired an increase to 6%, they found that the member banks, under direct pressure, feared to increase their borrowings, and that they wanted to encourage them to borrow to meet the growing demand for commercial loans. 16 Diary 76 (69). Furthermore, on May 31, 1929, Chairman McGarrah wrote to the Federal Reserve Board that the control of credit without increasing discount rates Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis X-6737 - 2 - (direct pressure) had created uncertainty; that agreement upon a program to remove uncertainty was far more important than the discount rate; that in view of recent changes in the business and credit situation., his directors believed that a rate change now without a mutually satis- factory program, might only aggravate existing tendencies; that it may soon be necessary to establish a less restricted discount policy in order that the member banks may more freely borrow for the proper conduct of their business:; that the Federal reserve bank should be prepared to increase its portfolio if and when any real need of doing so becomes apparent.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. « The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing pega(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

  • Dietz, Cyrus E 1928-1929
    Cyrus E. Dietz 1928-1929 © Illinois Supreme Court Historic Preservation Commission Image courtesy of the Illinois Supreme Court Cyrus Edgar Dietz was born on a farm near Onarga, Illinois, a town on the Illinois Central Railroad in Iroquois County on March 17, 1875. At the peak of a highly successful career as a prominent attorney, he won a seat on the Supreme Court only to die of injuries sustained in an equestrian accident barely nine months after his swearing-in, making his tenure one of the shortest in the Court’s history. His parents were Charles Christian Dietz and Elizabeth Orth Dietz. He was the youngest of eight children. His father was born in Philadelphia of Alsatian background. His mother came from a Moravian family that settled in Pennsylvania in the early eighteenth century. Elizabeth Orth Dietz’s uncle was Godlove Orth, a friend of Abraham Lincoln’s during the Civil War, a prominent lawyer in Indiana, serving in the state legislature, in the United States House of Representatives, and as minister to the court of Vienna.1 His education began at the Grand Prairie Seminary at Onarga. From there he went to Northwestern University and majored in speech and law, obtaining his Bachelor of Law degree in 1902. His brother Godlove Orth Dietz graduated with him.2 While pursuing his double-major at Northwestern, he also played fullback for the university football team, an effort that earned him All-American status in 1901.3 2 After graduation he stayed near Northwestern to practice law in the Chicago office of William Dever, who would later become mayor of Chicago in the 1920s.

  • Consumerism in the 1920S: Collected Commentary
    BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION ONTEMPORAR Y HE WENTIES IN OMMENTARY T T C * Leonard Dove, The New Yorker, October 26, 1929 — CONSUMERISM — Mass-produced consumer goods like automobiles and ready-to-wear clothes were not new to the 1920s, nor were advertising or mail- order catalogues. But something was new about Americans’ relationship with manufactured products, and it was accelerating faster than it could be defined. Not only did the latest goods become necessities, consumption itself became a necessity, it seemed to observers. Was that good for America? Yes, said some—people can live in unprecedented comfort and material security. Not so fast, said others—can we predict where consumerism is taking us before we’re inextricably there? Something new has come to confront American democracy. Samuel Strauss The Fathers of the Nation did not foresee it. History had opened “Things Are in the Saddle” to their foresight most of the obstacles which might be expected The Atlantic Monthly to get in the way of the Republic—political corruption, extreme November 1924 wealth, foreign domination, faction, class rule; . That which has stolen across the path of American democracy and is already altering Americanism was not in their calculations. History gave them no hint of it. What is happening today is without precedent, at least so far as historical research has discovered. No reformer, no utopian, no physiocrat, no poet, no writer of fantastic romances saw in his dreams the particular development which is with us here and now. This is our proudest boast: “The American citizen has more comforts and conveniences than kings had two hundred years ago.” It is a fact, and this fact is the outward evidence of the new force which has crossed the path of American democracy.

  • Toray's Founding and Rayon Business Development: 1926–1952
    Chapter 1 Toray’s Founding and Rayon Business Development: 1926–1952 Management during the Founding Years (1926–1935) In the inaugural general meeting of Toyo Rayon Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Toray”) on January 12, 1926, Yunosuke Yasukawa, who had been nominated chairman, spoke with conviction as he reported the following in his explanation of the first proposal on the agenda dealing with “matters relating to the company’s founding.” The development of the rayon industry in the West has been truly astonishing. In Japan, too, the value of rayon imports is climbing, which makes the establishment of rayon manufacturing opera- tions, as we are doing here, enormously beneficial for not only the advancement of our nation’s textile industry, but also the national economy as a whole. On February 9, Toray applied to the governor of Shiga Prefecture for a permit to establish a plant. It was granted on April 16. Toray observes 014 Chapter 1 the day as its Founding Day. Construction of the plant ran into difficul- ties, leading to substantial delays in its full completion and start of oper- ations. The ground at the site was soft and large quantities of earth and sand had to be carried in to prepare the foundations. It required the lay- ing of additional railway sidings. But although the main administrative building and living quarters for foreigners were finished in November 1926, the plant buildings, dormitory and company housing were only par- tially completed by year-end, delaying the start of operations until the following year. The February 1927 suicide of Antonio Minelli, who was in charge of the plant’s construction, was also a major shock to everyone involved.
