matters" The mcagcr outline OF
the proposed financial legislation
given out, which is said to have
the approval of President RooSc.
welt, is not clear TO the average
citizen not verscd in the lore and
ways and methods of the finan-
ciers who are manipulating the
contemplated legislation. Among
other things, we are told that the
provision limiting the retirement
of national bank notes to 5000,
600 Il month is to be removed,
which may mean that there will
be no limit to the amount that
may be retired, and would give
the banks power to contract the
circulation of this class of cur.
rency indefinitely if it should be
to their interest. Another pro.
vision is to permit national banks
to issue 80 per cent. of their out
standing circulation secured by 6
per cent. bonds, the interest on
which is to create reserve fund
to guarantee redemption. This evil
IDENTIFY means that other than I'M.
ted States bonds may be deposited
as security by national banks for
the notes issued by them. Then
customs receipts are to he depos-
tied with the Governments ma
tional repositories, instead of be-
ing paid into the treasury, and the
Secretary of the Treasury may de-
post treasury funds with banks
whenever, in his Judgment, it is
necessary to prevent a financial
stringency,' which means that the
banks are to be helped out with
the surplus in the national treas
ury, which under our trust. shield.
ing tariff has grown to enormous
proportions and has been taken out
of general circulation. The aver.
age citizen may ask, why tax the
people in the interest of trusts and
large protected industries, instead
of leaving this money in their
hands and thus reducing this con-
stantly growing and useless Sur
plus in the national treasury But
he may ask in vain; the trusts and
napOleons Of finance are running
the government, and reduction
of the tariff is not to their liking.

The question is, can the school run
with neither a village nor rural or

to village school a vote on the
change must be taken. This vote
must be by ballot, aud the votes for
