Washington, Nov. 1S.-There are
few members of either house of con-
gress who deal directly with financial
legislation in the city and it is impos-
to what course. financial legislation
will take at the approaching session
All who are here, however. agree that
something must be done at the ap-
preaching session, and the preponder-
ance of opinion favors the view re-
lief legislation will be more prompt
than heretofore predicted.
Differ Over Plans.
There are various opinions as to
the course that should be taken, some
favoring an asset system, under which
banks will be allowed to use their
property as basis of credit, and
others a bond system under which a
bank issue could be enlarged only
upon securities such as municipal
bonds with the requirement that they
should be approved by the secretary
of the treasury.
would Tax Il Heavily.
The general idea seems to be the
margin of flexibility should extend be-
yond the 25 per cent of the banks
capital and that in any event the en-
| larged issue should be so heavily
taxed as to drive it back when the
emergency is passed.

One reason for believing there will
be comparatively little difficulty in
reaching an agreement on some basis
is found in the fact the so-called con
servative element in the republican
party is in complete accord with the
administration in the opinion that
some form of relief is absolutely nee
essary in the present emergency. The
only practical difficulty which presents
itself at this time is an agreement or
the form of legislation.
