Asset Currency.

Most of the plans presented at pre-
viOus sessions Of congress have dealt
with the question of increasing the
elasticity of the circulation issued by
national banks by permitting issues
on other security than United States
bonds. There is a radical difference of
opinion, however, between the two
schools of thought as to the nature Of
these additional issues. The plan pro-
posed by Representative Fowler,
chairman of the house committee on
banking, provides for issues upon the
general credit of the bank with provi-
sion for a guaranty fund raised by tax
alton on circulation. This guaranty
fund is TO be employed when neces-
sary TO redeem the notes of failed
banks. 1t is the contention of Mr.
Fowler and others who favor this plan
that a tax of about one-twelfth of one
per cent annually upon the circulation
would meet all losses. but i'm order to
insure absolute safety they propose
that the tax shall be very much larger
than this.

Mayor Against Them.

The Chicago Law and Order league is
composed of about one hundred district
and church organizations, having FOR
their object strict observance OF the
statutes regulating the sale Of liquor in
the city, county and state. Mayor
Busse has thus far refused to heed the
pleadings of the organizations that the
saloons be closed, and in this attitude
he has been upheld by the Saloon
Keepers association, the Restaurant
Keepers association and the United So
cieties for Self Government. The lat
ter body waged successful opposition
to the local option clause in the pro-
posed city charter submitted to the
voters at the last election and is Cred-
tied with having been largely instru
mental in the defeat of that measure.
The united societies draw their mem
bership largely from the foreign-born
elements of the city's population, being
especially strong among the thousands
of German and Scandinavians in Chi
CagO.

Bankers Favor Fowler Plan.

The principle of the Fowler bill is
i'm harmony with two other measures
which attracted considerable attention
year ago, the bill of the special COM
mittee Of the New York chamber of
commerce. which was endorsed unan-
imOusly by the chamber in 1906, and
the plan of the special committee of the
American Bankers association, which
was endorsed almost unanimously at
the annual convention of the assOcia-
ton at Atlantic City in September last.
The plan of the chamber Of commerce
committee proposed issue on the gen
eral credit of the banks to the amount
of 5 per cent of capital under each of
the rates of taxation, two, three and
four per cent, and to the amount of 10
per cent of capital at each of the rates
OF 3 and 6 per cent. This permitted
total issues TO the amount of 30 per
cent of capital or about $3.50, 900, 900, but
it was Contended that no more than
half Of this, taxed up to the rate of
per cent, could be kept in circulation
under ordinary conditions. The plan
of the bankers association provided for
issues to the amount of % per cent Of
capital under tax of 212 per cent End
1919 per cent Of capital under a tax of
per cent. The bankers plan. there
fore, permitted larger issues upon an
average lower rate than the chamber
of commerce plan. Both these propos-
ais are declared by their advocates to
be very conservative. Both plans re-
quire a certain percentage of bonds to
be held by a national bank ia order to
obtain the additional circulation, the
object of this provision being to pre-
vent any decline in the market value
of bonds by the development of a pref
for tho firm nf ri
ton. Practically all the bonds now
pledged by the banks to secure circu-
lation would be taken care of under
either of these MANS

New Types Of Bonds.

The plan of further issues upon new
types of bonds, which are not now ac-
ceptable under the law. finds support
among those who believe that bank
notes should not be issued except upon
specific security which is out of the
custody of the bank. The usual meas
ure of this kind provides for additional
issues upon state and municipal bonds
acceptable TO the secretary of the
treasury and in some cases upon rail-
road bonds which comply with the pro-
visions of the New York and Massa-
chusetts laws for savings bank invest
ments. While the advocates of this
plan regard 1t as affording more COM
plete security than the Chamber of
Commerce or the bankers plan, it is
declared by it's critics that a single
failure by the smallest bank in the
country which happened to escape the
scrutiny of the secretary of the treas
try by which a poor class of bonds was
deposited and the bank failed with lin
tied assets. would cast discredit upon

BARN STRUCK
BY LIGHTNING
and BURNED
Large Building on the J. Lind
blad Farm in Fahlun Totally
Destroyed Monday Night.

FAHLUN, Aug. 26. The large
barn owned by J. Aug. Lindblad:
residing on the north shore of Big
Kandiyohi lake, was struck by
lightning at about two o'clock Mon
day morning and was ). totally de-
stroyed by fire. together with all
the contents. About two o'clock
Axel Berg, a farm hand on the
place, was awakened by a heavy
thunder clap, and little later saw
rays of light rejecting in on the
trees and landscape. He immedi-
ately called attention to the fire and
the people of the household went
to the burning place. They were
met by two horses that had man.
aged to get loose and escape the
flames. On arriving at the scene,
the whole structure was burning
mass and nothing could be done,
not an animal inside could be got
ten out. The bolt struck the south
end of the barn and as the wind
was from that direction the flames
were helped along in their work of
destruction. The barn was the
largest and best equipped structure
of it's kind in this part of the coun-
ty. 1t contained at the time of the
fire about 100 tons of hay, nine
horses, eleven head of cattle, some
chickens and other domestic ami
mails, and all succumbed to the
flames except two horses, as previ-
ously mentioned. There was also
in connection with the barn feed
house, milkhouse and windmill,
which suffered the same fate.
In addition to the facts secured
by our correspondent, the Tribune
is able to state that the loss is quite
fully covered by insurance. The
total loss is estimated at from So, zoo
to 81, 900 and the amount Of insur-
ance carried on all personal proper
ty and farm buildings on the place
is $45OO. The insurance is carried
in the Gennessee & Acton Farmers
Mutual.
The barn was a structure 108 feet
long and was built in 1901. There
were nine horses in the barn, II
calves and a number of chickens
The only animals to escape were
three horses. One Of these was 81
badly burned that it was killed a
once. One will survive, and thu
third is in such condition that i
is doubtful if it can be saved
There was fifty ton Of hay stored
in the barn. All the harness ant
one vehicle was burned. The plac'
is rented by Oscar Lindblad, a sol
of the owner, who was part owne
of some of the personal propert.

SUMMONED BY DEATH
Nils Holmquist of This City Gone
TO The Great Beyond and the
Life Hereafter.

Nils Holmquist of this city passed
from the scenes of this life at his
residence at 803 Fourth street Tues
day morning, Aug. 81, at three
O'Clock. He had been in feeble
health for many years, but the fatal
illness seized him about week
ago. He was Christian to whom
death had no terrors, and he was
glad to be released from the infrm-
tiles of the body and pass into the
unknown hereafter, which he faced
with no uncertainty, but strong in
the faith of his Redeemer.
Nils Holmquist was born in Opp
mamma parish, Kristianstads Ian,

America in 1866 and located at Vasa,
Goodhue county. Here he was

the township. Here. with his wife,
he joined the Svea Swedish Luther
an church, when it was organized

the first trustees of the'church and
later served as deacon for ten years.
He was one of the original organ.
izers of school district No. IS. Ir

he has resided during the last fif.
teen years, during which time he
has been a devout member of the
