VisWed-The Great Need Is Ready Cash.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. December 3O.-
Chairman Wilson, of the Ways and
Means Committee, is looking up data
for his tariff speech. Representative
Whiting, VINO is a member OF the Ways
and Means Committee, was also at the
capitol and there was some talk on the
present condition of the treasury and
what should be done to relieve it. As
anything that might be done would
have to come before the Ways and
Means Committee Mr.. Wilson was rath-
er reticent and when questioned re-
garding the treasury's condition aud the
remedy, replied: Owe have nothing
before us"
"Do you regard the condition OF the
treasury as serious?" he was asked.
'Oh, yes; there can be no doubt as TO
that, but the United States is able 10
take care of its obligations. 1t is hot
the gold balance, which is below one
hundred million dollars, that need dis
turb US, but the shortness OF the avail
able cash to pay obligations"
THE remedy is easy" said Mr..
Whiting, when his opinion was asked.
"The government could issue S50,000,-
600. or such ether amount as was neces-
ssry, of legal tender treasury notes re-
deemabe ir goldy 1t would be the
most popular thing the government
could do. or course, not beng Interest
bearing, il would be called imitation. il
NE issued the same amount OF interest
bearing notes or bonds IL would suit 4
large class and be heralded legitimate
transaction. The banks want bonds"
"But If the bonds were issued In
small denominations, said Mr.. Wilson,
$50 that any person could take them
who had small amounts 10 invest, there
is no doubt that large proportion
would be taken by small holders"
such bonds would ultimately get
into the banks" replied Mr.. Whiting.
The small holder would pay the mer-
chants and he would pay the banker. +"
Mr. Wilson would not indicate what
would be done, nor would be say Ia ad-
vance Of the next meeting of the com
mittee whether IL would be necessary
TO have further communication from
the Secretary Of the Treasury than the
suggestions carried In the annual re-
port.
Mr. Wilson was asked II the new
tariff bill would make the balance OF
trade against this country so large as
to disturb the gold balances and make
the demand on the reserves so great as
to cause any apprehension concerning
IL.
He replied that any ten years Of the
couDtry's history would show that the
balance OF trade ran about even. 1T Is
matter Of barter any way" he added.
THE balances are not paid in gold, but
10 exchange. There need be no appre-
hension of depletion Of the gold re-
serve"
Mr.. Whiting was OF the opinion that
the matter would be brought up In Con-
gress by the introduction OF bill, which
would be referred to the Ways and
Means Committee for action.
