In his report 20 congress Comptrol-
Ter Dawes makes some valuable sug-
gestions ~ to the methods by which
the country may be supplied with IN
elastic currency suficiens in volume TO
meet the requirements OF business dur
ing emergency periods.
Secretary Gage has ut different times
suggested that banks be permitted 20
issue notes, secured only by their gen.
eral assets This proposition IL not
favored by many. and II is not at all
likely that such "A measure will pass
congress. The objection to giving banks
authority to issue unsecured notes is
too deep-seated to be easily overcome.
The public has been too long accus-
toned 10 absolute security to accept
anything short OF that
Comptroller Dawes plan Is TO reduce
the l per cent. tar now charged upon
hank note circulation 10 a very small
fraction of that amount, thus inducing
banks to keep In circulation the full
amount authorized By law, which Is 80
per cent Of the bonds deposited as Sc
curfty for the notes issued This would
at once increase the volume of notes
In circulation by large amount. For
emergency purposes he proposes to per-
init the Issue OF notes UP to the par
value Of the bonds. but TO tax this
additional issue or per cent per
annum. which would insure their being
retired az soon as the emergency is
past. This would add at once 10000
900 or $50. Cox. 900 to the volume OF money
In circulation. and be sufficient to meet
any emergency, such as an unusual de-
mand for money for the moving Of
crops. etc, and to avert q panic in case
Of an unexpected strinsency In the
money market To make up for the
loss In revenue occasioned by the re-
duction OF the tax on circulation It Is
proposed 10 increase the present bank
franchise tax a proportionate amount.
Mr.. Dawes plan has two admirable
features II retains the element Of secur-
ity to the note holder he now enjoys. and
II furnishes a ready remedy for emer-
gencies. the machinery OF which is al
ways In working order. Should the
emergency to be met be local in its
character II will be met by the local
banks without, delay or loss Whenever
local conditions are such as to justify
the banks In Issuing the extra 10 per
cent. OF circulation. It will be promptly
issued. and az soon as such issue be-
comes Improbable TO the banks by
reason Of an easy money market the
notes will be called In and the circula-
ton reduced TO its normal proportions.
without having investigated the sub
ject very deeply, the Post Inteliigencer
Is inclined To believe that the plan pro-
posed by Mr. Dawes Ia the most feast
bic and safest yet suggested.

Dewey. Natures Nobleman.
Rossland Record

The present generation has seen no
nobler character than that OF Admiral
Dewey, and this he has proved as much
in the face OF popular applause and envi-
Gus detraction as In the day Of battle. Not
only was he calm, cool and daring when
he won that victory without a flaw" but
his head was not turned by a series of ova-
lions which have not been surpassed since
the triumphs of the Caesars. Most of all
has he been great when Islander invaded
his hearth. for he answered with digni-
fed silence while his wife made an all
sufficient answer by single act Ye,
ne must have been more than human II
his heart did not boil with indignation.
Dewey's character shines the brighter
for the mud which has been flung and
failed to stick.
