Advocates a Scheme for the Issue
of Notes by Banks Upon
Their Own Assets.
Low.Rate Government Bonds to Take
Up Legal Tender Notes Urged as
the Proper Thing.

WASHINGTON, d. C., Dec. 26.-Wil-
liam L. Royal of Richmond. Va, who
made so favorable an impression upon
the House Committee on Banking and
Currency on Friday last, has written C
letter to the chairman, Walker of Massa-
chusetts, experimenting the statement
made at that time that what the South,
North and West want is liberal banking
system rather than favo-ing any particu-
lar system. Royal writes that amend
ments can be made to the National bank
law abandoning the requirement OF Gov
eminent BONDS as a basis for circulation
and allowing the banks to issue notes
upon their own assets up TO the limit of
their capital. but still subiecting them to
the control OF the National Government
We should then never hear again about the
financial question, but, on the contrary,
peace and content so far as the finances
are concerned would obtain in those re-
gions."
Mr. Royal further says that he believes
the entire Southern vote would be given
to bill allowing the treasury to issue low
rate Government bonds to take up legal
tender and treasury notes, providing such
a bill would repeal the 10 per cent tax on
State banks.
To United Associated Presses reporter
Representative Walker said:
There is no difficulty whatever in COM
plying with the suggestions made by Mr..
Royal and at the same time strengthen
ing rather than weakening the National
system, provided the banks will assume

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Dec. 26-Barbers
| throughout the country will watch with
interest the progress and final disposition
of the bill to be ntrod uced Immediately
upon the opening of the State Legislator
next month, the aim of which is to place
the supervision of the entire tonsorial
| trade of the State under control of a State
Board OF Tonsorlalists.
The measure is one of the most far rea CHI
ing in the line of "paternal government"
that has ever been sought to be grated
into the legislation OF this or any other
country. 1t requires all "tonsorial artists
and BARRIERS to pass an examination OF
competency before the State board, to
prove good moral character and 10 dem
onstrate satisfactory knowledge of con-
tagious blood and skin diseases. Cer:iti-
any one not holding such a certificate is
not to DE allowed to ply his trade.
Save those already in the business, all
applicants for certificates must have two
years experience. An apprentice system
is to be esta blished, requiring three years
practical experience with a registered ton
sorialst prior to examination and gradua-
ton before the State board. The appoint
ment of the latter body is vested in the
Governor.
Each barber-shop is to display in con-
spicuous place the certificates of its pro-
prietor and assistants. Fer failure to use
clean and newly Numbered towels, clean
cups and brushes, clean combs and hair
brushes there is penalty of $50. and a
similar penalty is laid down for the use OF
rusty razors, scissors or clippers or razors
with hicks.
Still another section provides penalty
OF $50 for the use Of towel second tine
without being Thoroughly Numbered in
the meantime. A maximum line of $50 is
also imposed for the shaving of a Gus
toner who may be afflicted with any con-
tagious disease.
Should the bill pass the five fortunate
mem bers OF the board and its officers will
be in a position to abandon their pro-
fession, as the officers are allowed a salary
of $1,000 per annum and the members a
per diem of S.. The act is to take effect
IL ediately upon its being signed and

Jones, ex-payiDg teller of the wrecked

Judge Prendergast, who represented Jones
in settlement with the bank, said his

the bank drove hard bargain, reducing
Jones to penniless condition. His
family was forced to go to relatives to
live, and Jones is said to have peen in and
out of Chicago repeatedly, working a,

ST. PAUL, MINI, Dec. 26.-Congress-
men Tawney, Morris and Fletcher met q
large number of Iumbermen in Mime
apolis this afternoon to discuss the tariff
which shall be placed on lumber. At the
head of the lumbermen was President
Laird of the Mississippi Valley Lumb er-
mems Association. Addresses were made
by all of the Congressman and several of
the lumpermen. Mr.. Fletcher explained
that approaching the importance of tariff
legislation this session he had taken the
responsibility OF suggesting to the lum ber-
men of Minneapolis that ii they cared for
a conference Mr.. Tawney would be glad to
meet with them. The tariff bill to be
shortly framed would probably answer
their country for four years and perhaps
for much longer period, and 1t was.
therefore. important for the lumbermen
and their interests that they secure proper
protection in the measure before it was
presented to the House. The general
sentiment was that a tariff of at least 80
per 1000 should be put on common lum Der,
but no formal action was taken.
