CURRENCY EXPANSION IS
 BOOSTED BY COMMITTEE

committee, consisting of Messrs. Forgan of Chicago, Wexler of New Orleans, and Vanderlip of New York, to which was referred the question of amount of tay to be imposed on the issue of general credit emergency currency to be omitted by banks in times of a financial strn- gency Some features of their report
 which, it is understood, included a grad uated tax, were not entirely satisfactory to the bankers and it was recommitted to the special subcommittee for further consideration. Incidental to this was also the establishment of an immediate guar antee fund to meet the obligations of any bank which fails before the regular guar antee fund is available. There was a dissension of sentiment as to the amount of the graduated tax to be fixed on the general credit issues, some of the mem bers favoring a tax ranging from one to five per cent according to the amount of notes omitted and others expressing the opinion that the variation should be between but two and three per cent.

WAITING FOR OPPORTUNITIES.

It is d prevalent characteristic to wait fer the time. that is the opportunity to present Itself, before we attempt to create the chance. Many do with opportunity as the enndren do who loiter on the sand beds at the sea shore. They fill their lit tie hands with sand, then let the grains slip through their fingers till they are all gone; have fallen on the earth and are perhaps swept with the next tioal wave to be lost in the bottom of a great ocean.
 Three things that we can recall in seconds thought come not back to us the spoken word the past life and the neglected opportunity. Great opportunities are often the result of improving the small ones, the mise and industrious cre- ate opportunities, they are seldom picked up by the wayside. We are responsible for our talents.
 We rely too often on the morrow A lack of confidence in self in most in- stances is a species of cowardice that could be overcome by persistence and energetic ambition. The English say: "Take time while time is. for time will away. "When the fool has made up his mind tine market has gone by" say the Spanish. "A little too late, much too late" is the Dutch thought. It is not accident that brings forth splendid re- suits, but purpose and persistent indus
