Elasticity Not Essential.

And yet important as the element of elasticity may be, it Is not an essential to our prosperity. During the month of August, 1902, the associated banks of New York had an average surplus above their required reserve of $10.000,000. Dur ing August, 1903, they had a surplus re- serve in their vaults of s22,000,000. In the meantime the trust companies in that city increased the reserve in their vaults s15,00o,0Oo. have good reason to believe, In fact, have very positive as- surance, that banks generally have safe guarded themselves materially.

Three important Points.

Three things 1 know. First, this addi- tional circulation would spring into exist ence almost instantly whenever and wher- ever interest rates advanced to the point of profit. Second, 1t would as promptly retire whenever interest rates became normal. Third, 1t would be absolutely safe-as good as the present national bank issue and with a slight and imma- terial change identical in form and ap- pearanee-for the government, amply pro- tected by the per cent tax, would under write It. uBt you say this Is emergency currency. Anything more is imitation. It has the advantage, however, over emer- gency currency so-named, and over legal ized clearing house certificates, in that 1t injects into the commerce of the coun- try no new or doubtful form of money, and the presence of these notes will not advertise the stringent condition which Is the occasion of their existence. The only persons who would know of its exist ence would be the comptroller. the bank, and the few people who would take suffi- cient interest in the published statement of the bank to compare the volume of circulation with the amount of govern ment bonds on deposit In the treasury. Prominent among the benefits, If not the principal benefit would be the substantial guaranty against sudden increase in in- terest rates and an equally important guaranty against dangerously low rates of interest. Each locality would be able measurably to provide for Its own emer- pencies

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK"

Chicago September 1.-Two hundred business men from all parts of the coun- try listened to Secretary of the Treasury Shawls talk on "The Business Outlook" at a banquet given tonight at the Audi torium hotel by the National Association of Merchants and Travellers.
 Lyman A. Gage addressed the associa- ton on the same subject. Coming just be- fore his retirement from the treasury de- partment great interest was attached to the speech tonight of the present secre- tary. In his discussion of the finacial question, Secretary Shaw declared that what was needed was not an elastic dol lar, but some provisions by which. auto matically the aggregate volume of dollars would Increase whenever and wherever more dollars were needed and would as promptly retire when not needed.
 Shaw on Currency.
 He spoke in part as follows:
 Tt Is true that very respectabel num- Der of very good people, and of that num- Der I desire to be chased, believe our fin ancial system, good as 1t is, might be im- proved by adding an element of elasticity. l do not think there exists any great num- Der who believe we should have any in- flation. Eight yearsf ego we had twenty one dollars per capi4a Now we have cer- tainly more than t@enty-nine and prob ably nearly thirty dollars per capita. Con- servative business men and conservative bankers do not generally consider this an insufficient normal minimum volume of currency. 1 repeat, the only criticism now offered relates to the want of elas- ticity Not that a dollar can be made elastic, but that the volume shall be made responsive to the demands of busi- ness Of course the term Is a misnomer. Elastic material like rubber will expand in one direction, but 1t contracts in the opposite direction, while the material, the volume, is neither increased or d. unfinished What Is needed Is not an elas- tic dollar, but some provision by which automatically, the aggregate volume Of dollars shall increase whenever and wher- ever more dollars are needed, and will as promptly retire when not needed.
 ''There is now no statutory prohibition against the well-night inherent right of banks to issue circulating notes. This right exists throughout the United States but subject to tax of 10 per cent per annum. This tax is prohibitory. If l were given authority to formulate meas ure that would provide the requisite elasticity to our present currency sys- tenn, I think should add an amendment permitting national banks, with the con- sent of the comptroller of the currency, to Issue a volume of circulating notes equal to 50 per cent of their bond-secured circulation at tax of per cent, the same to be retired at will or by dlrec- tion of the comptroller, by the deposit of an equal amount of lawful money with any subtreasury.

PROPOSED COLLEGE

Editor Advertiser: Referring to tn,
article upon Lahainaluna Seminary il
your issue of the 18th inst. 1 wish tC
offer more definite statement in Place
lof what is there represented to be my
plans for the future of this school.
In January, I prepared for the Super
intendent of Public Instruction re-
port as to the condition OF Lahainaluna,
and. at the superintendent request,
added recommendations for the future
of the school, which recommendations
I have since made known to various
members of the Legislature and to
others interested in the school In my

for boys completing the public schools,
a course which is primarily agricaI-
tural and mechanical and which in
cludes only SO much of academic work
as is requisite for business life Pre-
missing. then. the need of such education
and the fact that cur pupils have now
only slight opportunities for obtaining
| it, enumerate few of the natural re-
sources of Lahainaluna whica recom-
mend it as site for such a school,
its healthful location, it's fertile land,
its water supply. its water power, etc,
land I propose legislation that would
create of the school an institution
>, sot,
public schools and train them to be
skilled farmers. mechanics ard bust
ness men. Such legislation would in
clude the remaining of Lahainaluna, the
placing of the school under a board of
trustees. the determining of the pow
ers and duties of the trustees, the de-
termining of the educational policy and
the courses of study, and the making
of an appropriation for the institu-
ton.
These recommendations are the out
come of number of years study and
experience here on my part, and seem
to have met with favor generally
among those interested in the advance

as those endowed under the Morril
Acts of 1862 and 1902 that the Ter

such college; and that, when it does,
Lahainaluna will be an admirable site

really any need of an Agricultural Coll

whether Lahainaluna has better claims
than have other localities to becoming
its site; and whether the establishment
of an Agricultural College outside of
Honolulu would be detrimental to the
u. S. Experiment Station, are three
questions which have been raised by
my suggestions, but to which I gave

no consideration in my report. They
are doubtless worthy of the thought of
the Legislature and of the public gen.
orally, but are by no means inseparable
from my major recommendations for
Lahatnaluna: as the school may be
dropped from the list of possible sites
for an Agricultural College, and still
may fill a very worthy place in the
scheme of Territorial education, as an
industrial and manual training school
for our boys as they leave the gram
mar grades. 1t is along this line that
I hope the present Legislature will give
its special consideration.
