Mr.. Hoar referred to the fact that he had fire.
quently investigated the right of Governor to
fill a vacancy, and to the numerous speeches and
reports he had made in support of that theory
1t was not to be expected, he said that Senators
sitting as judges could change their convictions
on great public questions such appeals These
requests he considered in the nature of appeals to
him TO stuff ballot box and make false returns

One of the principal reasons which led the COM
that the bonds suggested would be much more de
sirable basis for National bank note circula ton
than tire outstanding securities: 1t is the duty of
Congress, in the public interest, to modify the
National banking act as to give to banking
Citations opportunity to issue currency with
reasonable profit If the provisions of this bill
enacted into law we may reasonably expect a con-
siderable increase in the National bank note cir

If the business of the country demands 1t, why in
time the outstanding circulation should equal

The seventh section provides that upon the de-
post of United States bonds by any National bank
ing association In the manner provided by law such
association shall be entitled to receive circulating
equal to the par value OF the bonds deposited
1t also provides that any National banking assoca-
ton having bonds on deposit shall be entitled

The eighth section provides that any National

bearing interest at per cent per annum shall pay
a tax upon such circulating notes of one-half of
cent annually instead OF the tax of 1 cent
now imposed by law. We believe this reduction in
taxation is: necessary to encourage National banks
to increase their circulation, and it will undoubtedly
have the effect of promoting the conversion of bonds
