CURRENCY LEGISLATION.

IT HE exposition by ex- Comptroller Dawes of the
proposition submitted the business men of
Chicago by Secretary Shaw for securing fexi-
bility OF the currency is very clear and the PROPOSE
ton itself is very good as far as it goes
1t is in brief plan to meet the currency needs Of
the country in serious emergency by permitting the
issue of bills supplemental the regular issues of
the national banks, which bills shall be heavily taxed
perhaps as high as per cent. 1t will be seen that
such issue can only be made when the interest rate
exceeds the tax sufficiently to make the currency
profitable the issuing banks No doubt in an
incipient panic such currency may serve useful
purpose and perhaps would check an approaching
an object lesson in flexible currency that might lead
to further application of the system.
Mr. Dawes, in his exposition at Pittsburg, takes
occasion grid what he calls 'the radical element
amongst currency reformers. By that he means the
men who desire flexible currency issued to meet an
emergency arising under normal conditions and not
incident to panic. These radicals will accept the
Secretarys plan but will hardly abandon their own
1t was formulated to relieve districts remote from
the money centers. In such districts the seasonal
demand for currency varies. AT seedtime and har-
vest for instance there call for the use Of credit
that is caused by the expanded activities of the sea-
son. Farmers meet the demand of seedtime by
mortgage their future crop. Commercial men
meet that of harvest when the crop has IT, be moved
to market by bank loans at high rate of interest
In each it is costly of credit than is
wholesome necessary
The currency reformers, who are called radicals
propose to economic the use of credit under such
circumstances by the issue of asset currency. at

INSURANCE MEN
HELD FOR ACT
OF FIRE CHIEF

HONOLULU, Sept. 22.-Judge de Bolt
last week rendered decision under which
the various foreign insurance companies
are held liable for losses sustained in the
destruction of Chinatown by fire in jan
uary, 1900. The companies claimed exemp-
ton under a clause in their policies pro-
viding that they should not be held liable
for any losses caused by an act of the
civil authorities and further claimed that
the big fire was due to an order of the
Board of Health under which the Fire
Department proceeded to burn several
buildings. The fire got beyond their con-
troll and burned thirty acres of buildings.
In the case of a Chinese claimant
against the Manchester Insurance Conn.,
pany evidence was introduced to show
that the late Fire Chief made an error
and started the fire outside the limits he
was ordered to burn, as condemned on ac-
count of plague. On this showing, which
affected all the cases, Judge de Bolt in
structed the jury to find for the plaintiff

A GREAT WOMAN GONE.

THE death, by accident, OF Mrs Elizabeth
Shields in Sacramento shocks the whole State.
She was an able woman OF affairs, moved al

wise and safe adviser to all OF the rural interests

rector of the State Board of Trade and her wisdom
and her work influential in the exhibits OF the
States resources in the great expositions in this
country and in Europe AS fruit planter she had

business from the selection of soils to the selection
of final market and it is saying even less than is
deserved to say that in California has
impressed our rural industries and horticulture

In her home she the soul Of hospitality, un-
affected in manner and direct in speech; her acts
were dictated by heart that knew unknd i'm
pulse and head that was wise and thoughtful. Her
death is sore sorrow to her household and dis
tinct loss to the commonwealth. She had just re-
turned from attending, delegate, the Irrigation
Congress at Ogden where she inspected the great
interstate exhibit of fruit, to enrich her know
edge, and to receive conspicuous honor and recogn
ton from the horcuturists of other States and the
officers OF the Agricultural Department. Her nstruc-
tive presence will long be missed from the gatherings

the of its issue free from tax but later after
It has completed its function, subjected to such tax
will call it in to the banks which emit it. By this
plan business men everywhere will be able use
their credit cheaply and the tax on the issue will not
be added to the interest they pay, as in the OF
Secretary Shaw's panic currency.
1t will be that there are wide differences be-
tween the two propositions. The first is plan to
enlarge bank credits at rate OF interest that cannot
be less than the tax the currency, which is to be
used when nanciers in desperate straits and
willing to save themselves by paying high price for
currency. The second plan is intended to flow with
the normal business conditions of the country, reliev
ing business remote from the money centers by
giving them currency at living rate. In other
words it is plan for the more even and equitable
distribution of the loan fund of the country Under
present conditions that distribution is so faulty that
when business men in the money centers their
credit for or 8 per cent those at distance from
such centers pay and often per cent. While it
may not be possible to absolutely equalze interest in
all parts of the country equality may be nearly
approximated by we'll secured asset currency.
There other considerations, political in their
nature entering into the problem, which are lett out
entirely by the plan of Secretary Shaw. 1t is not
wholesome have our system of finance and credit
always in focus part of the peadings OF partisan
ship In that respect the country the edge Of
great peril in 1896. When the of that dan
ger calmly analysed it will be found that the
attack the national credit got sympathy and sup
port because the people remote from financial centers
were made to believe that their difficulties were
caused by lack of quantity in money when the real
cause was lack of distribution They believed that
the whole country suffering from currency
famine, when the real difficulty a lack of mo-
biy.
Il is we'll to look ahead and by prudent measures
make it impossible to again betray any considerable
number of the people into like No one
pretends that any revenue or currency system can
be positive insurance against pancs They part
of the system of action and reaction from which is
impossible that the business world shall detach it
self But the vigor OF panic will be materially i'm
paired by statutory provision for better distribu-
tion of the loan fund and economical use of
credit.

GOVERNMENT PRINTER
DENIES THE CHARGE
Committee Is Appointed to Examine
Into the Management of His
Department

WASHINGTON, Sept 28.-As a result
of recent criticism of the list of charges
made by the Government printing office
for printing and bookbinding done in that
institution for the various departments of
the Government, Public Printer Palmer
to-day announced the appointment of a
committee to investigate these charges.
The complaints of the excessive charges
made by the Government were an out
growth of the discussion over the case of
William A. Miller, assistant foreman of
the bindery. against whose retention the
bookbinders' union is waging a fight. In
connection with the complaints against
the schedule Of charges, the Public Print
er points out that no profit ever has been
expected for that kind of work, and that
the Government merely charges cost
prices and then adds 10 per cent to cover
the administrative expense of nOn-prOduc-
tive labor, such as messengers, doorkeep-
ers, watchmen, etc.

PUBLIC UTILITY BONDS.

THE taxpayers should remember that just ahead
there IS cloud OF propositions for the city to
90 into business The Geary-street road is the
beginning only, and they should insist beginning
right In Eastern city the supply passed
IRON private public ownership the bonds for that
purpose resting not upon the plant but upon the
whole city. One OF the promoters of the change in
Z review OF the benefits which have resulted, says
The water company charged for all labor and mate
rals furnished in tapping the mains and laying the
service pipe the curb line; under municipal
ship the people have been relieved OF this expense
That is illustration OF the ease with which cost
of administration may be concealed when any part
, of il is charged of to the general fund Here W.
have apparently intelligent who really thinks
that the service pipe and labor furnished by the city
cost nothing, and the people therefore relieved
OF the expense" OF making service connections If
the proper course pursued and the citys water
business were supported by its own income, such
concealment in the general tax levy and such self
deception OF the people would be impossible.
To illustrate: II Oakland follow her proposed plan
OF securing municipal water works and careessy neg
lect to make the bonds lien on the plant alone as
every service connection will have be changed to
the municipal mains the cost to the taxpayers, to
those who do not the among the rest, will
into many thousands OF dollars, for the city will
pay out CT its general fund for the pipe the plumb
ing the cutoff and the labor, and yet the people
viii be easily made to think that they relieved Of
that expense.
The same applies to this city, in its proposed flu
ture engagement in the business OF selling water gas
and electricity.
The law and the charters of the two cities limit
the rate of taxation By starting wrong and piling
up liens on the cities that should the plants
of the business in which they propose to engage, so
much OF the limited rate OF taxation may easily be-
come involved leave less than is required for the
essential purposes OF government Therefore, good
sense and good business and good economics all re-
quire that each business plant owned and admins
tered by the city pay its cost and support
its administration In this way only we hope
for proper and frugal management of the plants
owned by the city, and for the freedom OF the gen
eral revenues be used for the proper purposes Of
government
it IS gong to pay the city to go into business the
business will support itself, of course If it will not
pay, to make the cost of the experiment lien on
the city is to embark upon confscatory taxation We
are quite there are enough voters to whom
