To the Editor of The Times:
Sly our editorial on banking i'm San
days issue. of the 18th instant. leads me
20 offer d few sugcstgions upon the ques-
ton o. bank notes While. no doubt. il is
u ue, as yOl say, that the ,dern system
OF exchange by means of bank credits.
greatly reduces the nec' ssity Of having
bank notes current in all pdrts of the
county, yet II would be ar easy matter
To- arrange TO have them so. If we should
adopt som, sort OF a. rational system of
bank currency such as the Canadian. for
instance-We would find that a deposit
fund placed with the Treasury Depart
inent OF only about . per cent. OF banks
note circulation would insure its passing
at par anywhere. Such has been the cX-
pcrience OF Canada, where chartered
banks are allowed TO issue notes 10 fuil
amount Of paid-up capital plus reserve
Considering the prejudice against what
rs known as the old State bank regime
and the impOssibility of ever returning 20
such condition. whether we would or no.
/ think We should not call any proposed
banking system State banks. CAN them
chartered or incorporated banks. banks
of issue. or what YOU Will, but let the
name state bank bee buried with the past
Without doubt a uniform banking law is
far preferable TO various state laws for
many reasons. and there seems TO De no
good reason why the national banking
law could not hc altered so as 10 allow
banks of "A specified amount of capital 10
reserve. and still retain the present su-
pervisiOn of the banks condition. There
is absolutely no reason or financial sense
i'm the present method Of Issuing national
bank notes. which are not bank notes
al all. but are practically Government
notes. as they never return 20 the bank
that issued them.
The only scientific note issue is bank
note issued and redeemed by its maker
on demand and at som where near
the place TO be used. | am CON
WINGED that such a system would reduce
the present high rate of interest i'm sec
lions far removed from great commercial
centres to q reasonable figure. So long
as We adhere 90 our present irrduohdl
method of issuing notes / am unable 10
see how relief can Doe afforded, no matter
how much such issue is increased. There
is already an Over-abunddnce IN tLe
larger cities. so that what is needed is
not more currency. but some means or a
better distribution. or rather system or
currency that Will distribute itself ac-
cording to the demands of trade. T.. VI.

te. intend by their plan as published last

dates on the icket, whether ne Wlsnes
10 do so or mott Has not that plan
bee1 forced on the party often enough !
We are all Democrats IN the primary
supposedly expressing our preference
for the candidates offering, but by TINS
plan. as / understand IL, If the voter
prefers to vote for only one man on the
ticket he cannot DO 80 without voting
for four others whom ne does not want.
Does our committee call that free eN-
preston Of choice n not then why vote
at an i'm the primary? The people are
fired of irving 10 elect good men Wneh
they know that In order TO do so they
must vote for two, three, or four other
mon In whom they have 10 choice. Many
Of my acuuaintances have said TO me, Il
will not again vote in a primary nor
can those men who say this be read out
OF the Democratic party because they
say IL. Men who have any respect Tor
themselves will not be bound by any
such rules. either In or out OF any party.
This community is tired. too. or being
dictated to by men. many or whom have
nothing 10 vote on and have no more
real interest In the Democratic party than
as far as may serve their ends either for
cheap notoricty or self gain. Let Us carry
no dead men on live mems shoulders IN
this contest between Democrats Let
every man vote for who and as many
candidates as ne chooses. then let the

VOTE AGAINST AMENDING THE
CHATTER.

We should like to know where the Guy
Democratic Committee found its autaon-
~ for submitting % the Democratic
voters of Richmond the question whether
there should or should not be an amend
mont TO the city charter. In the opinion
NJ The Times it has exceeded its au-
thority. and the best thing 1t can DO Is
20 recall its action and leave the mat
ter TO the Council which represents the
city and not the members Of one polit-
cal party only.
But. If the committees present action
is TO stand. then we hope that the Dem
ocratic voters Of the city will declare
that they are opposed 70 any change IN
the charter. If we were given the OPP
portunity to say whether we wanted
certain sIecihed changes made We would
be glad 10 say that We did want certain
ones. that we would indicate made
But when We are asked to say that
we want the charter amended, but 10
leave IL to our members of the Legisla-
ture to say what nose amendments shall
be we pause. That would authorize
them to amend the charter in any way
that suited them. We cannot agree 10
this. and we do not think that many
Democrats in Richmond will agree to it.
We hope. therefore. that the whole city
Will declare against any amendment of
the charter at all.
