Representative CIRCUITS Bill to In
crease Bank Circulation.
Representative Grout of Vermont has in
1roduced a bill in the House which will at
tract attention among those interested in
currency legislation. General Grout is a
member Of the appropriations committee
and known as profound student of public
questions. His bill is to extend and make
elastic the national bank currency system
1t provides that all national banks are
authorized to issue circulating notes to an
amount equal to the par value of the Unit
ed States bonds deposited with the treas
urer of the United States to secure the re-
demption Of such notes; and when a ma
tional bank has once taken circulation it
shall not be retired except with the ap-
prevail of the controller of the currency,
under such rules and regulations as shall
be prescribed by the Secretary Of the
Treasury. Whenever, in the judgment Of
the controller of the currency, an emer-
gency arises in which a larger volume of
circulating medium Is necessary to save or
relieve from financial stringency, the con-
troller may, with the approval of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, authorize the ma
tional banks to issue emergency circulating
notes equal in amount to such fractional
part as he may determine, not exceeding
one-half Of the market value Of said bonds
above their par value, and for such time as
he may determine: Provided, That such
circulating notes shall in no case exceed in
amount 10 per centum of the loans and dis
counts Of the bank issuing them. When the
stringency shall have subsidized the emer-
gency circulating notes shall be retired,
and the Secretary Of the Treasury is au-
thOrized to make all needful rules and
regulations to give effect to this section.
Hereafter the tax to be paid into the
United States treasury on the circulation
Of national banks shall be one-fourth of
per centum per annum, in lieu of 1 per
centum per annum, as provided by existing
law. Hereafter on all deposits received by
national banks in excess Of $500 900 there
shall be paid by such bank into the treas
ury of the United States tax Of per GEN.
tum per annum: Provided, That no tax
shall be collected on any deposits made by
one national bank with another national
bank - q redemption fund, nor on any de-

posts made by any savings bank or trust
company in any national bank for redemp-
ton purposes.
Ten per centum of the amount paid into
the treasury of the United States under
sections and 3 of this act shall be set
apart by the treasurer of the United States
as a contingent fund for the redemption of
the circulation which may be issued by ma
tional banks, in case the bonds deposited
with the treasurer by any broken bank
shall not sell for an amount sufficient 10
redeem all the circulating notes issued by
such bank: Provided, That the redemption
fund so created shall at no time exceed in
amount per centum of the total amount
Of national bank note circulation.
National banks may hereafter be organ
lied under the provisions of existing law
with a capital of S25.0o0: Provided, That
the articles of association Of such bank
shall be for the term of ten years only, and
shall not be renewed unless the capital
stock be increased to at least $4,000; and
when the capital is SO increased the re-
newal may be for the term of twenty years.
National banks with a paid-up capital of
100000 or more may, with the approval of
the controller of the currency, establish a
branch or branches. under such rules and
regulations as the Secretary of the Treas
ury may prescribe.

The Agricultural Department has issued
a circular regarding the spread of the Mex,
lean cotton-boll weevil during the past sea.
son. Several years ago the weevil made
its appearance in certain portions of Texas
and there was great fear 1t would spread
to the north ard east of the infested region
in that state and even to Louisiana. Missis.
sippi, Alabama and Georgia. The investi,
cations conducted by the department show
however, that the progress of the insect
toward the north and east has been very
slow; that its spread is practically checked
by the first heavy frost. and it is doubtful
whether the insect will advance to any
great extent beyond the region of the
growth of volunteer cotton.

OREGON STATE POLITICS,

to elect state officers, including governor

the failure to reflect Senator Mitchell,

publicans in the legislature

before the caucus, and he was unanimously
agreed upon by a majority of the members

the election of Mitchell was prevented in
rather unique way in American politics.
by a peculiar provision in the OREGON
constitution tw0-thfrds Of each house are
necessary to form a quorum. The combi-
