INQUIRY IN M'KAY'S 'FEES (Continued from Page One.) no agency in the city of Lansing that has information concerning the sale of millions of dollars worth of bonds to finance construction proj ects at the University of Michigan and Michigan State college and added "I think it would be a good thing if we learned all about those issues regardless of who handled the bond sales." McKay Defended The house of representatives de bated the propriety of the payment of commissions to McKay yesterday in connection with a proposed con stitutional amendment intended to permit the governor to appoint a cabinet composed of officials who now are elected. Eaton was one of the sponsors of the move which he said would smash "boss rule" of Michigan politics.

Rep. Stanton Welsh, republican, St. Clair Shores, defended McKay. With a sweep of the hand that took in the entire house chamber, Welsh declared: "If any one of these fellows had a chance to make $92,000 in commis sions through a bond deal, he would be happy about it. "As far as Frank McKay and Ed Barnard (Edward N.

Barnard Wayne county political leader) are concerned, I think they are all right," Welsh added. Eaton bridled at the statement and declared he felt Barnard and McKay both have too much influence on republican political policies. The Plymouth legislator said he also planned to investigate the sale of a $2,225,000 bond issue to finance the installation of water mains leading from. Lake Michigan to Orand Rapids. He said he had information that that issue was sold through Stranahan, Harris and that the public debt commission had refused to sanction the sale until the plan had been revised to give the city more generous terms.

States senate and the campaigns of A. B. Williams and Joseph L. Hooper for national representatives. Dined Two Presidents He became acquainted with President Warren G.

Harding when the late chief executive was a Marion, publisher and came to Battle Creek to purchase a Duplex print ing press. Later, Mr. Smith visited him at the White House and they frequently exchanged correspondence. Through his efforts, two other Presidents were brought to Battle Creek for speaking appearances. They were Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taf both of whom were dinner guests at the Smith home.

Mr. Smith, whose wife was dis tantly related to President Taft, made the first canvass in Michigan for him and in 1912 was asked to manage the President's campaign in this state. He declined because his business interests demanded too much of his time. President Taft spoke in Battle Creek Sept. 21, 1911.

In 1916, Mr. Smith went to New York City to attempt to secure Theodore Roosevelt's opening and keynote speech of the 1916 campaign for Battle Creek. Single- Lhandedly, he argued against dele gations of as high as 25 from large cities in the country, and finally won his argument. Mr. Smith promised Mr.

Roosevelt that Battle Creek would put on a record-breaking celebration and it proved to be all of that. More than 50,000 persons gathered here for the event, and Mr. Roosevelt expressed deep appreciation to Mr. Smith for his efforts. Gave Congressional Dinners For many years, one of the annual customs of Mr.

Smith was to give a dinner for republican leaders of the third congressional district, and prominent political personages from throughout the nation often attended. On numerous occasions when visiting in Washington, D. he would give dinners for the Michigan and. Georgia congressional representatives. He had many friends in Georgia because his bank did considerable business in the state and he often visited there in its interests.

It was during Senator Townsend 's first campaign for office that as he was known to a generation, organized the first automobile political tour of the county. About 10 automobiles were lined up for a tour of the county in which Mr. Townsend took part. The parade attracted extraordinary attention in those concreteiess days. The caravan reached Tekonsha in time for a noon meal, and completed the circuit of the county by nightfall.

Borrowed to Build Bank Mr. Smith was born Oct. 26, 1865 in Charleston township, Kalamazoo county, the son of John and Catherine (Joyce) Smith. When he was five months old, his parents moved to a farm four miles east of Climax, in Leroy township, and he resided in Calhoun county the rest of his life. He attended the West Leroy school until he was 15 and then attended Battle Creek high school for two years.

Albion college for three years, and Detroit Business university for a short time. Returning to work on his father's farm, he conceived the idea of build-tog a bank in Climax. After borrowing $1,500 from his father, he hauled lumber from the farm to Climax, assisted a carpenter in constructing a bank building, rented a small safe in and was ready for busi ness. The bank was an immediate suc cess. Farmers hastened to place their money with the young banker, and within 18 months the bank had $35,000 in deposits.

Established a Bank Here He sold out in the fall of 1889, but returned to the banking business a Is the r)fcv A Saturday sistance of Oscar Cole, he estab lished the Farmers Merchants bank in Battle Creek. Its location was on West avenue. After the death of Victory P. Collier, president of the Old National bank, a consolidation of the two banks was effected under the name of the Old National and Mr. Smith became a director of the resultant organization in April.

1898. He served as a director for 35 years. All of the others on the original board preceded him in death. In September. 1929.

the Merchants Savings bank was consolidated with the Old National Bank Trust Co, and the new organization operated until 1933 under the name of the Old-Merchants National Bank Trust Co. He was elected second vice president, in 1905, and first vice president a few years later. In 1919, he became president, succeeding E. C. Nichols, and in 1927 was elected again succeeding Mr.

Nichols, who had died. L. J. Karcher, now president of the Security bank, then became president of the Old National. Believed in Battle Creek His civic pride and the fact that he believed a great future was in store for Battle Creejc undoubtedly had a great deal to do with the -building of a new 20-story home for the Old-Merchants National Bank Trust Co.

in 1931. The building now houses the Security National bank, organized in 1933 to succeed the Old-Merchants bank. When the Old-Merchants in the summer of 1929. started out to enlarge its trust department, the old Peniman building next door on the east was purchased, and a building committee appointed to conduct the expansion. But after the physical consolidation of the bank with the Merchants Savings bank on September 1 of the same year, it was immediately determined that a remodeling job was entirely inadequate to the need of the new and larger Institution.

So the old plans were abandoned and the building committee was enlarged to take up plans for a new building. On Jan. 1. 1930, the bank announced its plans for the skyscraper structure with stores on Michigan avenue and office floors above the bank proper. In discussing the building program on Jan.

4, 1931, Mr. Smith said. "It is because this is a mar-velously substantial community; it is because it is growing and expanding so rapidly: it is because growth and expansion are still more largely in store for it in the future, that the board of our banking institution has unanimously voted to inaugurate the big building program." Mr. Smith liked to tell the younger men that they had opportunities for expansion of outlook and contacts in the smaller communities as well as in the large ones. He was referring, of course, to his numerous associations with prominent men of the nation.

A Leader During War During the World war, Mr. Smith served as chairman of the council of national defense in Calhoun county and also was in charge of Liberty Loan activity in the county. He served as a member of an ad-vistory council appointed by Gov. Wilber M. Brucker to study the state's bookkeeping system and made recommendations for eliminating confusion encountered in the state accounting setup.

Mr. Smith was married to Miss Mary Lovell. of Climax, shortly be fore the turn of the century. Mrs. Smith is a granddaughter of the late Judge Caleb Eldred, a pioneer resl dent of Climax.

Mr. Smith was a member of the Athelstan. Rotary and Battle Creek Country clubs. Surviving are his widow, Mary L. Smith: a son.

Wendell L. Smith, president and general manager of A-B Stoves, and two grandchildren, Wendell and Mary Eleanor Smith, both of Battle Creek. Mrs. Smith has been ill at her home during the last week with heart trouble but Improvement has been noted in her condition during the last two days.

A card party sponsored by the council will be held May 5. A number of the members of the unit are planning to attend the County Council meeting in Sonoma, April 19. Night! err) Night I First Quarter Earnings Up Case Sales Largest in History. Colby M. Chester, chairman of General Foods told stockholders at the annual meeting In New York Wednesday that case sales in the first three months of the year were the largest for any quarter in its history.

"The report for the three months ending March 31," Chester stated, "will fchow sales of $36,544,019 and profits of $4,082,316 after all charges, compared with sales of $34,255,086 and profits of $3,375,727 for the same period In 1938." Chester enumerated a number of conditions -which he said favored the outlook for American business. These included: "Banks bulging with people's money awaiting justifiable investment; larger national income and lower costs than last year; an enormous need for replacement and modernization; a definite shift in public psychology and a growing recognition that business is the nation's lifeblood."
