MIR. CAGES CURRENCY PLAN.
Hi. Views to BE Embodied in Several
Bills.

II was stated in reliable quarters about
tie House of Representatives today that
Secretary Gage had made mis- purpose
known not to embC dy his financial views
in one comprehensive bill. hut TO cover
such objection in a number of special bills
seine of which would go before the House
committee on banking and currency. and
others before the committee on ways and
means.
The Banking AMI currency committee had
foI-nI..Ily invited the Secretary to present
q Hill roverins ali the phases of financial
Itt-T-ll~ suggested IN his recent rccCm!uen-
da-.un 70 Congress. and the desire of mem
hers Of the committee WAS 20 treat the sub
jet aS III entirety. For that reason there
was considerable agitatcd comment when it
WIS stated that Mr. Gage wound divide the
subject into several bills, some Of which
would 20 before the ways and means com
mitJce.
1t was this last feature which occasioned
III. IIVrlIcSt comment. OWING TO the SnafD
contest between the ways and means COM
mit;ee and the banking and currency COM
IniJt"C. respectively. to control legislation
designed TO bring about currency reform.
THIS feeling found expression on the floor
OF the House the second day of the session.
and after spirited exchange between Mir.
DiugIey ana Nr. Walker. the chairmen of
the two committees, the matter was COM
promised
The Walker committee felt that ii had
carried the day. and at its initial meeting
Wednesday tre formal invitation was cx-
tended to Secretary Gage to present hill
based on his recC lamentations to Con-
gross. Mr.. Hill of Connecticut was de5ig
mated by Chairman Walker to submit the
request TO the Secretary. AS a result of
this interview it became generally und ~
STOOD about the House that the Secretary
would not comply with the request for 4
genera, hill of financial reform, but would
draft several distinct bills.
fy.l hn
port, he said that he could not say what
the Secretary would determine to do. The
latter had received the invitation Of the
committee banking ard currency with
much courtesy, and had said he would ap-
pear before the committee at an early day.
While Mr.. Gage Gid not outline what he
would DO as to framing one or more bills,
yet the impression Mr.. Hill received was
that the Secretary has under consideration
several bills covering the several phases of
thu financial subject.
If the secretary concludes TO adopt this
plan, ii is said that the bills relating to
bones, rcfunding the public debt and plac-
ing a tax on circulation would go to the
ways and means committee, while bills
for the establishment of small banks in
rural communities. allowing cirC..,ation up
to the par value of bonds deposited and
other phases directly connected with the
banking business would go to the commit
tee on banking and currency.
