EARN6TT'S BILL.

Gibbs banking bill is having the effect he
desired to accomplish. 1t is making people
talk and think.-IGarland News.
Barnett Gibbs is about the shrewdest pol
itician in Texas, but like the balance of rs
he makes mistakes, and the biggest mis-
tGEe he ever made was when he offered as
| substitute for the pegnicious Sub-treasury
| scheme scheme just about as bad - Alva-
RADIO Bulletin.
| Ex-Governor Barnett Gibbs of Dallas has
| evolved brand spanking new banking and
| money circulating medium. His plan is in
| tended as a substitute for the national
| banking system and the sub-treasury
| scheme. 1t will have to be an abominable
| money making and money circulating
measure, indeed. il it be worse than either
| the national bank or the proposed sub
| treasury. OF all the here5ies on top side of
| earth the sub-treasury heresy is the most
| preposterously insane, and of all the per
versions of the beStOwal of power on the
congress of the United States by the terms
of our constitution the national ranking
system is the rankest perversion yet intro
duced TO light. Mr.. Gibbs plan may not
be practical, but it will have one wholesome
effect at least: People will be put 10 think

plan may be unfolded by some one pend

We are not. stuck much on the sub

scheme 1t is sensible. practical and states

Barney Gibbs is raising rumpus with
the Democracy OF Texas. They do say that
Barney's doctrine is too near akin to the
subtreasury idea. Does Barney think he

Barney Gibbs substitute for the sub
treasury bill Is receiving rough handling
from Bonham Democrats. Some of them
say II is more objectionable than the one
presented in congress last session by the
Farmers Alliance. But Barney is not
afraid to give his ideas, right az wrong.
and has sized up the situation about right
when he asserts that the farmers and wage
workers are N earnest about relief.-BOn-

The Hon. Barnett Gibbs has Matched out
plausible substitute for the sub-treasury
scheme. Barney is the shrewdest and most
enterprising politician in Texas. - Breckin-

Barney Gibbs has a substitute for the
national banks and the sub-treasury bill.

If Governor Gibbs has not offered good
substitute for the sub-treasury heresy he !
has come nearer it, so far, than any man in |
Texas. He recognizes the fact that |
something must be tone-there must be an |
of the circulating medium in the |
country. The South and West demand it |
and they are going to have it, and Governor |
Gibbs recognizes the Importance of meet |
ing that demand. The great masses of the |
rsople of this country have heard too |
much of this clap-trap nonsense about the |
amount of money per capita, which |
answers the purposes in England, France
and Germany, those old and thickly |
settled countries. In country like |
the United States money moves slowly and |
a greater amount of money is required to |
meet the demands of business. The |
Chronicle does not desire to be understood |
as indorsing Gibbs substitute. for it does
not. Yet, judging it in its crude shape, it
IS, perhaps, an improvement upon the
5ub-treasury heresy that may be at least
the foundation upon which bill can be !
made that will meet the demands of the
