on the subject OF federal supervision
and regulation Of insurance. There ap-
pears to be no doubt that a law OF this
kind would prove effective within the
limits of it's operation and It is quite
possible that It might have a generally
beneficial effect. since any Insurance
company that refused to avail itself Of
the law would be pretty certain to
thereby weaken itself in public conf
dence. The discussion in the house Of
representatives as to whether the ways
and means committee or the committee
on interstate and foreign commerce
should have control Of insurance legisla-
ton is chiefly important as showing the
interest that Is being taken in the sub

RASlS nE cANAL BONDS.


There has been some question as to
what the basis of the Panama canal
bonds. authorized by the Spooner act.
would be-that is, whether congress
would make them available for bank
note legislation. The passage by the
senate of a bill regulating the issuance
of bonds for the canal and placing them
on the same basis as other government
bonds which undoubtedly will be con
Cured in by the house of representa-
tives. disposes of doubt in regard to the
matter.
The Spooner act authorized the secre-
tary Of the treasury to sell 2 per cent
bonds at not less than par. from time
TO time, as the canal work demands.
nv the act of 1860 bank circulation
based on any bonds of the government
except the 2 per cent consols Of 1890
is sub ect to a tax of per cent, while
circulation based on the consOls Is taxed
only one-half OF per cent The Spooner
act did not extend this provision to the
canal bonds and as the banks would not
take per cent canal bonds at par or
better and 1t Is only by virtue of the
circulation privilege that the govern
ment Is able to sell 2 per cent bonds at
or above par, the necessity OF placing
canal bonds on the same basis as other
government securities was obvious
Hence the bill providing for this was
passed promptly without debate
The amount of bonds provided for in
the spooner act is $13O,OOo,Oo0 and these
probably will not all be issued at one
time. At all events they will make n
considera BILE addition to the security for
bank circulation and undoubtedly IN
whatever amount offered they will be
promptly taken by the banks. Whether
or not this will result in an immediate
expansion of bank note circulation can
not be foretold with certainty, though
the probability Is that 1t will have the
effect to at once somewhat enlarge the
circulation. This would not be I'M

the country could find use for larger
volume Of currency. II the house of
representatives acts in this matter as
promptly as did the senate an issue of
canal bonds may be expected early in
the new year. Indeed 1t will be abso-
lutely necessary in order to avoid load
ing the canal cost further upon the cur
rent income of the treasury. The ap-
preparation that will at once he made
to meet current demands is all that the
| treasury should be required TO provide
from its regular revenue and this will
be returned when bonds are sold. The
provision made for borrowing TO carry
on canal work it is already apparent Is
far from sufficient and it is very prob
able that before the great undertaking
is completed 1t will be necessary to
authorize additional bonds to perhaps
the extent Of s1OOO0OOOO. Meanwhile
there is being shown in congress dis
position to put some restrictions upon
| canal expenditures.
