in tbis Congress.

In mi. Congress.
II am much interested IN financial logisla
ton, said Senator kyle TO a STAB reporter TO
day.
senator Kyle is from South Dakota. and. 10
iiioally speaking, IL one OF the products u sh'
Farmers Alliance movement. which stirred Ia,
country considerably y tliae over a Year axe

the peoples party a. the Senate. aud b
credited with the possession Of good. sound
every day sense; he regarded by many as Q
'strong" man. National finance Is his bicgeg
hobby just now and it Of this topic b.
chatted tins morning.
PRESSING MED.
''Finsncial Legislation Is a pressing need .

rHE LAID loan RuI-
I'VE also expect something to be done wit
the land loan hill measure introduced and
advocated last Congress by senator Stanford
understand that during the summer senator
Stanford has consulted with some Of
the thoroughly representative Rcriculturiats
| aud that certain changes have been
made an the bill This revised
version the Senator will introduce a. soon az
he gets here and the measure VIII be actively
| championed by the memL,rs OF the peoples
party IN both houses. This land loan hill
would be a very beneficial law IRON the tnan-
cial standpoint not only because n would
furnish more money, but. better Yet,
/ because n would furnish an elastic
! currency. The plan provides Tor the issuing
! OF land certificates by the government Mhen
there Is need of money IT Will be forihs onlng.
and when Inc Gcmanl D. light the great bulk OF
the currency would revert 10 the treasury.
There Is a perfect scheme OF natural eApanslOn
and contraction. Flexible currency lie the de-
slderatum of tins time.
PERSONALLY expect some Legislation during

ests Of the west. Having iivod in Utah and
