then. The people who have withdraw !
money own 1t, and in its future use
they will be selfish to the limit Of
selfshness
do not think we need more rapid
initiation than we have enjoyed, Dur
ing the last five years the money in
circulation has increased more than
one hundred and fifty million dollars
per annum. Thus the volume ever
expands but it has no power of con-
traction except when tho people
through fear withdraw from eircula-
ton and hoard. and they are now do
ing this just when money Is most
needed and when its presence is i'm
perative.
Wants Central Bank.
The so-ca1led Canadian" plan has
has probably about the same number
of advocates as the central bank plain.
but again it is welInight certain that
the people will never consent that our
present system be superseded with
something radically different.
The Canadian plan is effective only
when operated in conjunction with 4
system Of branch banks. and when a
substantial portion of the aggregate
circulation of the country consists of
bank notes. For instance, over forty
per cent of the maximum Canadian
circulation is bank notes. This vol
ume of bank notes annually contracts
about 25 per cent, making contrac
tion of 10 per cent in the aggregate
money of the Dominion. Our none
tary supply is somewhat in excess of
s3,000.00O,000. A possible s200.000.0o1
issue of credit currency as provided
in the bill reported by the committee
If the lower house of congress would
swell the aggregate to about $3,330,-
100000. Assuming that this small vol
ume CT credit currency would contract
25 per cent as in Canada, it would
measure only ~ per cent CT our ag-
gregate as against Canada's 10 per
cent We would simply deceive our
selves II we thought this would even
help to solve the problem.
1t Is doubtful whether tho banks
will ever unite on any plan which car
ries no profit. IL may bo necessary

s201. .0cO.0O0 imitation and it is probale
that the country will absorb 1t with

we are now experiencing | believe the |

fifty per cent Of the aggregate capital |
Of national banks or somewhat more |

Delegate Mark Smith has intro
duced a bill in congress for the relief
of Pima county from obligation in the
matter of the old narrow gauge rail
road bonds issued twenty-five years
ago in aid of q proposed narrow
gauge railroad from Tucson to Globe
The railroad was never constructed
and the supreme court of the United
States once decided that the bonds
were void because of lack of any au-
thority for their issuance. After this
congress passed funding bill for the
territory which had the effect of le-
CALLING these defunct bonds. Pima
county has fought them in the courts
since the legalizing bill was enacted,
but now the United States supreme
court says the bonds must be paid.
The, amount of the debt now amounts
to about sS5O,OOO and it is asked that
congress appropriate the money to
pay the debt which, by its sole act,
was saddled on the county. Congress
should do this as an act Of justice
to Arizona and Pima county.
