THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.
Short Term Loan Certificates to be Issued
Instead of Bonds.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-An import
ant conference was held at the White
House Wednesday between the Presl-
dent and Speaker Crisp. 1t is under
stood that the financial question was
the subject under discussion, although
neither of the interested parties are in
clined to discuss the details ofthe con-
ference. Speaker Crisp had an appoint
ment to accompany the members OF
the Georgia delegation to the treasury
department this morning to urge the
Secretary to accept the.Georgia granite
in the construction of the Kansas City
public building. Just before the de-
legation met to proceed to the treasury
department Speaker Crisp received an
invitation to come to the White House
before the. Cabinet met He went at
once to the Executive Manson and was
in consultation with the President un-
til Secretary Lamont and several other
members of the Cabinet arrived.
1t is understood that the President
is not pleased with some of the modl-
iications made to the latest edition OF
the financial bill reported back to the
House from the committee of which
Mr. Springer is chairman, and 1t IS
said that the conference between the
President and the Speaker was in real
ton to the Springer bill. When the
Speaker left the White House he went
immediately to the Capitol, and it is
said that he had a brief consultation
With several of his trusted political
friends and related to them the sub
stance Of his interview with the Presl-
dent. He then held a conversation
with Ex-Speaker Reed, who, later in
the day, came forward as a nonpartlsan
and proposed 3 per cent short term
loan certificate as the only practical
solution of the financial problem un-
der existing conditions.
Speaker. Crisp, after starting the
House in running order for the day,
called Representative Richardson, OF
Tennessee, to the chair. and then pro
ceeded to the Senate. Theappearance
of Speaker Crisp in the Senate cham
Der, while the House vas in session,
was such novelty that he received
something of an ovation from the
! Senators on both sides ofthe chamber.
1t was evident that he was not there
for his health, for he at once made ms
way to the desk Of Senator German,
The Democratic leader. and they held
short but interested conversation. 1t
was apparently satisfactory to both
parties, for when the Speaker left the
| 41.~yland Senator'S desk there was
smile of satisfaction upon his face
He next went over to Senator Aldrlch
Of Rhode Island. whoi the recognized
leader OF the Republican forces in con
: nection with the financial and tariff
questions This conversation was
equallv brief, butapparently agreeable
and Speaker Crisp. having evidently
fulfilled his mission, hurried back tc
the House
1t was evident that the parties to thi:
mysterious series Of consultations
were not disposed to reTeaI their secret
for they endeavored to treat with in
! difference ,r evade the subject wLcr
their atte! t;i was directed to it. Ii
spite of their reticence it is said thai
/; I'll" Presidc4nt realizes that the House
will not accept the revised Springer
bill. and therefore some othe=: plan
/ that Y;ill meet the approval of ma
io.itv OF both houses, without regard
F.; to party, must be brought forward
If the Secretary of the Treasury wants
money to meet the current expenses
of the Government there is disposi
ton on the part of the leaders in both
houses to authorize the issuance ofloar
certificates for short period. as sug
gested by Senator Allison and also by
Ex-Speaker Reed.
1t is understood that the proposition
was the subject of the numerous con
situations today at the White House
treasury department and the Capitol
The outcome will depend upon the
report that Secretary Charlisle vii
make to the Senate in reply to the
resolution of inquiry introduced BY
Senator Hill and amended at the in
stance of Senator German. The infor
nation desired goes into the vitals O
the Governments finances and it vii
require several days work by the
treasury officials to collect the data
called for by the Hill-Gorman resolu
ton. 1t may be ready for transmitta
to the Senate by the latter part of the
present week, or it may not be com
pleted until mex week.
In the meantime the advocates OF ar
early bond issue are becoming exceed
iugly anxious at the delay of the Presl
dent in not making the call before the
question is voted upon in the House
The friends Of the Administration in
innate that if the House refuses, as i
will probably do, to adopt the Spring
er bill, the loan certificate proposition
will be ,,ccepted by the President i
everything else fails-News and Cou
ricr.
