DISCUSS CUKhtNll REFORM
Leading Republicans to Meet
In rev Days

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-It is re-
ported that the leading Republican
members of the senate committee on
.lnance will hold a conference in d
lew days at Senator Aldrichs sum-
.ner home on Narragansett Bay to
discuss plans for currency reform ieg-
lslation at the extra session of con-
gIess. Senator Allison of Iowa will
tae an important part in the confer
ence.
there is a feeling among the lead
ing Republicans that some element
OF elasticity may be introduced into
the national currency by amendments
not of radical nature to the national
banking laws. 1t is contended tnat
banks could not be permitted to issue
upon the market value of government
Donds deposited as security. The ef-
fect would be an addition of about
~ per cent of the issue now permit
tea upon the deposit of government
bonds.
Senator Allison, it is asserted, ia
vors thee hange. 1t is suggested that
the further increase of the currency
volume could be obtained by amend
ing the law providing that govern
Ient deposits in the national banks
shall be fully secured by government
bonds. Senator Aldrich proposes to
authorize the secretary of the treas
ury to accept also state bonds of mum
icipalities twenty-five years old that
have not defaulted in ten years and
whose net debt does not exceed ten
per cent of the value of their taxable
property, and f1rst mortgage bonds OF
any railroad company which has paid
dividends of not less than four per
cent regularly for not less than ten
year the banks to pay not less than
one and one-half per cent interest for
the use of the none ydeposited with
them. and government claims to be
the first lien on the assets of the
bank. The senator proposes an inter-
est requirement with view to secure
the return of the money to govern
ment values when no longer needed.
and he roposes a substitution of the
state, municipal and railroad for gov
ernment bonds with view to render
ing the last available as a basis for
an additional banknote circulation.

Since Friday morning the Silver

caused by the gasoline engine being
on toot again. What caused. 1t to

the trouble was is equally obscure.

The editor of the Silver State would
prefer discharge. resignation, being
fired-six months in jail-anything to
getting out such an excuse and call
ing it a paper. But it is not his fault
nor that of any OF the other en-
ployees. All have worked faithfully
and hard, regardless of meal hours or
rest, trying to locate and overcome
the difficulty, and the force regrets
the trouble and hopes for another
long period without a break far more
than the public can.
