CAUSE OF THE SCARCITY
or SMALL PAPER CURRENCY


NEW YORK April 96 6-United states
Treasurer Ellis H. Roberts. who is on a
business trip to this city. In talking last
night OF the scarcity of bills of small de-
nominations throughout the country.
said:
"ThIs lack If small bills is due in some
parts OF the country TO the fact that the
bankers don't take the trouble to send
in their hills OF large denominations
and get small ones in exchange, This is
the case nearly everywhere excert in the
larger cities of the east aud In tho north
western states.
"ln the northwest there has heen such
wave Of prosperity during the last two
years that the bankers and merchants
have no occasion to send their money
east, as they did in previous years. They
are rich enough to keep their money at
home,
''rhere was a lack of small bills In this
city up to few months ago, but now the
bankers. merchants and business men Of
every kind have all the small bills they
want They have gotten them 10y sending
on their larger bills. The revenue
stamps on checks have probably had
something to do with bringing into more
general use their smaller bills
The reason we cannot issue the smaller
bills as fast as the bankers want them
is because we are restricted by law. The
law allows us to issue only sSi6,OOO,OOO in

PRAIRIE DOG BILL.
Mr.. Perry Calls Attention to Its I'm
pOrtnuce.

Austin, Texas, May Representative
Perry had the following to say this morn
ing concerning the prairie dog bill:
while on my trip home last week was
frequently asked what | thought of the
prospects of the passage of the prairie dog
bill, my reply was that felt encouraged
by the favorable report that the senate
COMMITTEES had just made. But imagine
their feelings of pity when they read the
silly an endments that some of the digni-
fed members of that sedate body offered
when It vas being considered by the body
few day afterwards, Such amendments
as to include bed bugs, mosquitoes, but-
falo gnats, frogs and other things TOO
ridiculous to mention, offered for the pur-
pose Of killing with levity an important
measured And these same diguihed sena-
tors aspire to State office, no doubt. and
they forget, ! presume. that the West has
more than once saved the democratic party
by her solid vote.
But with these senators It is a light
matter for the people covering a terri
tory Of one-third or more Of the State to
ask the legislature to give them system
by which they can force the determination
of a pest that Is destroying grass enough
every year to feed as many more cattle as
now feed upon her pastures. This Is a
serious matter to our Western people and
we appeal to all thinking people to give
il the thought that It deserves We have
not asked for on appropriation. Had we
have done so, perhaps il would have been
treated with more respect We only ask
for a legal system by which all would be
forced to exterminate the dogs upon their
lands. in which system the actual settler
and non esident land owner would be
benefited alike. The non resident owners
are making the fight against 1t, and | am
sure If they would aid in enforcing the
determination OF the dogs from the coun-
try their lands would double IN rental or
sale value in few years, and with the
power to force the determination OF the
doos off all the lands. any lessee with a
f,ve-year lease at present price will con-
tract to kill the dogs additional to what
they now pay
