The Great "FauIt.n

One Of the most interesting and sue

quakes that has appeared since the
great California disaster is contributed
to the current Harper's Weekly by Her
man Whitaker. 1t is called 1.-The
Fault" and traces the visible cause OF
the California earthquake from The
point at which it comes out of the Pa
cific ocean in the vicinity of Point
Arena, 120 miles north of San Francis
co, until 1t disappears at San Juan, 225
miles farther down the coast. The die
tionaries define II fault" as "a severiny
of the continuity of IL body of rock by
n break through the mass, attended BY
a movement on one side or the other
of the break. Occasioned by
movements of the crust of the earth"

How European Governments Keep

From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Treasurer Treat has submitted to
Secretary Shaw a report recommending
provisions of law for cleansing the.

does not say why such laws are neces-
sary in the United States rather than
elsewhere. 1t was not within his prov

other countries are sickened by its
odor, and there have been cases of
blood poisoning traced to It. Why is it
that the United States has "tainted''
money in a sense about which there
can be no dispute?
In other countries currency has N IYfo
like that of a plant or animal. When &
has survived it's cycle it does a natural
death, and there is birth of another
monetary unit, in an equally natural
manner. In some countries the life Of
currency is that of a tax period. Cur
rency is issued to facilitate tax collec-
ton, and when it comes into goyern-.
ment hands it is not reissued. In other
countries currency is issued for plant
ing the crops, or harvesting them, and
when 1t has discharged its duty it dies
until the next crop season. Generally
the life of a civilized currency is that

to the life of an average pramlssory

the bank reserves when wanted for use.
and are returned when not wanted. The.
consequence is that bank reserves are
almost always deficient or redundant in
the United States. and both conditions
are alike uneconomic. Deficiency OF
bank reserves does more than upset
the banking situation-it affects prices.
and through them disturbs trade ana
