WOULD ABOLISH
 J. 5. TREASURY Address of A. B. Stickney at
 Bankers Banquet A CENTRAL RESERVE BANK Such a Bank Should Gradually De- velop Out of Some Bank Suited
 for It By Commercial
 Demands.

Chicago, December 14.-The bankers of Chicago were given a banquet by the Marquette Club tonight. In addition to speeches by ex-Comptroller James H. Eckles president of the Commercial Ma tioral Bank, and President James B. For gan of the First National Bank, there was one by A. B. Stickney president of the Chicago Great Western Railroad Company, who was the principal guest of the evening.
 MT Stickney's subject was "The Cen tral Reserve Bank" He contended that central reserve bank would not and could not become monopoly. The ne- cessity for keeping 25 per cent reserve would render it incapable of competing except in the larger transactions with the other banks which would carry no more than to per cent of the reserve. The reserve, he said, Is the regulator of the banking business.
 To Abolish Treasury.
 'It Is my convicton,,.- he said, that there IS no safety and can be no safety to financial affairs in the United States until the treasury Is abolished, but we must not close our eyes to the fact that it cannot be safely destroyed until cen tral reserve bank has been developed Otherwise the duty of protecting the gold reserve from exportation would fall upon 4O64 national and 564S state bands and in- stitutions. The impossibility of more than 5000 separate banks protecting the gold reserve against exportation would necessitate a central reserve bank, to which would be delegated the sole re- sponsibility of protecting the reserve.
 Tt is my conviction that if the re- strictions of the American banking laws were repealed and banking made free there would be developed in the United States a banking system substantially on the lines of the Scotch English system. In process of time one of the systems of branch banks would demonstrate its fit ness, and solely for this reason would be selected by the other banks as the cen trai reserve bank. A bank thus evolved would be fit both in respect to financial responsibility and in respect to the char acter and capacity of its directors and managers for the government to enter into the ordinary relationship of cus- toner and bank. Such is the central bank which I advocate-a bank produced by evolution and controller by the natural laws. of the trade, instead of a bank con tro1led by partisan, ill-considered and compromise legislation. &
 Prejudice to Overcome. "Candor compels me to admit that | there is. and has been ever since the de- struction of the old United States Bank which was an entirely different type | from the modern central reserve bank, strong prejudice in the American mind against central bank. But 1t is my contention that this prejudice grows ou, of misconception of the modern cen | tral reserve bank and its functions and | powers. It Is my conviction that another campaign of education would make the proposition of free banking possible of realization

Montana Appetites,

Zone of the queerest things l have ever
struck was rp in Montana" said dining
car conductor of the Burlington this
morning. 81 used to run out of Chicago
and have had runs in other parts of the
country. We always figured ahead in
making orders to supply certain proper
tions of steaks, chops. vegetables, fruit,
and pastries. On the Billings line we
found that all proportions had to be re-
vised, and that we had TO order twice as
many steaks, and chops, less vegetables
and fruits. and scarcely any pastries or
deserts at all. Those Montana people
are the greatest meat eaters l ever saw
They give meat orders almost exclusively,
with but very little vegetables or fruits.
and do not care for pie or cake. Out of
Chicago we could figure on selling about
four $l.50 porterhouse steaks. In Mont
ana it is eight. l do not know what
makes it unless the Montana people live
more in the open air, work harder, and
get up more wholesome appetites than
the people out Of Chicago, who prefer
pies. puddings and cakes. Omaha
