Minority Report on Fowler Currency Bill
Blames Institutions Tor Lack
of Elasticity

WASHINGTON, p. G.. March .
Representative Glass of Virginia sub
united to the House the report OF the
minority of the committee on banking
and currency in opposition to the Fowler
asset currency bill. The report holds
there is 10 urgent need for the legisla-
fion on account Of there being no gencr-
al demand.
The minority base their opposition on
the ground that they do not believe the
credit notes will be- used for real emer-
gency purposes or have any appreciable
degree Of elasticity" The report says an
inevitable consequence would be Il per
manent imitation of the paper currency to
an amount approximating 500, 100000.
In support of their contention that there
is no need 70: the legislation, the report
points out that the national bank, i'll
whose behalf this privilege is sought,

necessity requiring an addition to the

stated it should bc met by the issuance

Il never suspected that coffee might

Several years ago, while at .

instead of Coffee and soon began to in

A Florida Razorback Shoat Furnishes
Proof of His Identity.

A small shoat that looked like n
young razorback hog from Florida was
roofing in the sawduSt in the show win
dow of a Brooklyn butcher store. His
color markings were somewhat like
those of Il hyena and his countenancs
had forocious aspect. He was SO thin
that the sunlight almost shone through
him. There was a low fence along the
inner edge of the window sill.
a solemn looking man entered the
store, walked to about the middle of
the floor and said:
'Whoo-e. whoo-e whoo-e-e-e!"
Cut it out" said the proprietor
''Whoo-e. whoo-e, whoo-c-c-c." the
man repeated.
"Wheek. wheek-wheek, wh-e-c-ckm
came from the pig in the window. Then
the little fence crashed down and the
pig followed it and began roofing at the
strangers feet.

man. He knows the call. Down in the
