FAV0RS LIBERAL BANKING.
Editor Royals Scheme Indorsed by
Chairman Walker. "a

Mr.. William L. Royal, of Richmond, Va,
who made so favorable an impression upon
the House Committee on Banking and Cur
rency on Friday last, has written a letter
to the chairman, Mr.. Walker, of Massa-
chusetts, supplementing the statement made
at that time, that what the South, North
and West want, is liberal banking system
rather than favoring any particular system
Mr.. Royal writes that if amendments
can be made to the national bank law
abandoning the requirement of govern
ment bonds as basis for circulation, and
allowing the banks TO issue notes upon their
own assets up to the limit of their capital,
but still subjectng them to the control OF
the national government, we should never
hear again about the financial question,
but, on the contrary, peace and content, so
far as finances are concerned, would OBJ
tain in those regions
Mr.. Royal further says that he believes
the entire Southern vote would be given
to bill allowing the Treasury to issue
low-rate bonds to take up legal tender
and Treasury notes, pro viding such a
bill would repeal the 10 per cent tax on
State bank notes.
To United Associated Presses reporter
Mr.. Walker said There is no difficulty
whatever in complying with the sugges-
tons made by Mr.. Royal and at the same
time strengthening, rather than weaken
ing, the national system, provided the banks
Will assume pro rata the current redemp-
ton Of tile legal tender notes in proportion
to the notes the banks are allowed to issue
against their assets. If any general bill
is reported by the Banking and Currency
Committee it will probably follow these

TO MAKE BETTER SOLDIERS
Cash Prizes for Efficiency Is the
New Plan.
OFFICERS DISCUSS DETAILS.
subcommittee Meeting Held at the
1t Met With General Approval
and steps VIII BE Taken to Make.
1t Effective.

a scheme has been set squarely Oh foot
whereby the general efficiency of the
District National Guard i S proposed to be
bettered. SO plausible was the idea that
the guard officers indorsed it as soon as
il was disclosed by its originator, Lient.
j. Bruce Webb.
For that reason there was a meeting OF
a subcommittee OF committee of all the
officers of the guard last night, at the
l. street armory. The members Of the sub
committee are: Major Richard O'Brien.
Second Battalion; Capt Frank w. Holt,
Company B, Engineer Corps; Capt. George
W. England, Company d, Fifth Battalion;
Lieut.. A p. Robbins, Light Battery A, and
Lieut.. J. B. Webb, quartermaster, Second
Battalion.
Outline Of the Plan.
They made a general draft of the plan.
the essence of which is to offer cash
prizes for general efficiency, and will
submit il to the whole committee inside of
the next ten days, or two weeks. There
is little doubt that their outline will be
carried out by the united officers.
A competition will be held, open to all
companies OF the brigade Cash prizes in
tributed
This sum is not an arbitrary one, and
was merely fixed by the committee as a
minimum with the hope OF increasing
the amount after the first year.
1t Is proposed that the competition shall
begin sometime during the month OF Jan
uary and the prizes will be warded during
the closing months of the year. There will
and examination.
How They VIII Be Marked.

the adjutant win be called into service
for the purpose.
Tie condition of the arms and equip
ments Will be passed upon as well as the
properties and quarters. Target practice
records, with work in the gallery and On
the range, win come in for share in
the averages. Efficiency in drill will
go to make up the closing separate di-
visions.
Provision has also been made in the
plan for board Of judges. This board
is to consist OF all the company command
ers, all the adjutants and all the quarter
masters of the battalion. Battalion conf
manders viii be requested TO inspect their
companies once a month The scale OF

lish grade line on a certain piece Of work
letting the work to the lowest responsible
bidder, the amount to be. expended being rust
$3.50. The wish of the surveyor was acquiesced
IN, with the result as shown in the following
sketches For four years a certain amount
Of work, statute labor had been performed
upon this road this particular point. Last
year at the annual town meeting in one of
the southern counties in this state the good
roads question was thoroughly discussed, and,
appealing to the county surveyor for his ad-
vice, he recommended the purchase of a road
grader, and by his forceful arguments it was
reluctantly bought; but he writes: THE
amount of good work since accomplished can
scarcely be estimated Again, in still an
other county, the county commissioners were
ON the eve OF letting an important bridge con-
tract. At the last moment the county sur
veyor was asked his ideas concerning the
matter. He thought the bids too high. A
contest followed, and. the result was a new
plan was adopted and contract let for about
half the cost IF the original plans. So the
taxpayers and the county commissioners are
beginning to realize that to thoroughly in
the roads the county surveyor must have the
supervision of them, and they must act in
sympathy with each other. Say, for argu-
rnent's sake, the equity surveyor is given
a definite salary, he could then prepare pro-
files and establish grades on the more trav

to the inch of each town. Then each de-
scriDtion and deed of transfer could be care
fully plated upon and into ii. In that way
no possible mistake in description would ap-
pear or occur. Then with this map and his
profles of the aforesaid roads, he presents TO
the county commissioners a comprehensive
view of the condition of affairs in each town
in the county in nutshell as it were, it
enables them TO see at a glance what has al
