resolution authorizing the committee
or subcommittee TO go about the
country and hold hearings on
the bill before the committee
will be disposed Of. The most
important thing that is pending before
the committee, and upon which most
interest centers is the proposed repeal
of the 10 per cent. on State bank circu-
lation. The division in the committee
is very close, and it may take an actual
vote to determine what shall be done.
Six Republicans and one Democrat are
known to be against the repeal and it
is thought that Two other Democrats are
so counted, although the Democrats
in favor OF repeal claim tnat they Will
have majority when the vote comes
II this majority cannot be obtained In
any other way it has been suggested
that the bill be reported with conditions
imposing Federal restrictions upon
State bank circulation.
Ii is thought by some that suce OIL
would perhaps meet with more favor In
the committee than unconditional re-
peal. Then when the bill gets into the
House the conditions coald be swept
away by those who would prefer to see
the bill pass absolutely repeating the
