DEFENDS AID TO WALL STREET
Milton E. Allies, Of Washington, Dis
cusseS Financial System.
Tells Ohio Bankers Fiscal Methods
Have Not Kept Abreast with
Progress of the Country.

Cincinnati, Ohio, June 27-The principal
address at to-day's session OF the Ohio
Bankers Association, now holding it's
seventeenth annual convention here. was
made by N. F. Allies, vice president Of
the Riggs National Bank. Of Washington,
y. @. His subject was The Treasury
and the Banks" In his address he sought
TO show how necessary it is. under our
present system. for the Secretary Of the
Treasury 10 give occasional assistance 70
the money market. In order to avert
financial disaster Every Secretary Of
the Treasury in the last thirty or forty
years had been obliged TO render such
assistance.
II was made necessary by reason Of the
accumulation OF revenues in the vaults
of the government, and the taking out
Of circulation just so much money as was
received by the government He said
that the government surplus for the cur
rent year would amount 10 between
SS5.00),G1c and &00000C0, and that the
locking up Of so vast a sum could not
be tolerated, as II would be followed
surely by financial disaster. He suggested
that the policy be reversed, and that the
collections be made through the banks.
Withdrawing such amounts from the
banks as are needed 70 meet expeditions.
Mr. Allies pointed out that it might be
necessary 10 have some governing au-
thority or central institution stand in a
position to afford relief, saying:
The general principle is recognized in
the larger cities by the efforts of clear
ing-house associations TO bind the banks
IN their jurisdictions together for mutual
protection. Why therefore. might not
this principle be extended so that all Of
the banks Of the country might have an
interest in one central institution which
would stand as bulwark in times Of
stress.
He urged the adoption Of such plan as
would render our circulation more elastic,
and would eliminate some Of the evils OF
the present system.
Mr. Allies pointed out the singular fact
that while America was quick to adopt
modern methods in almost every field of
endeav0r. 1t had been slow in working out
a financial system that would keep pace
with the extraordinary developments of
the country, that while we had taught the
old countries new methods in arts and in
dustries. our currency and banking laws
had remained crude. They do not be-
long to this era Of modern equipment;
they belong to the days of the OK cart and
the sail ship. and have no place in an age
of electricity and steam.
Until the end of the bitter war waged
against the old Bank Of the United States
by Andrew jackson. public funds were
deposited in bank and disbursements were
made from that institution or its
branches, with the result that surplus
revenues when collected still remained
available for business use. In most re-
spects this plan was satisfactory. and no
complaints were heard in those DAYS
against looking ~ the funds that were
needed in carrying on the varied enter
prises that go to make I'D the trade and
commerce Of a country"

Christmas Givinq

There are two things that should be cut out in this years Christmas giving the exchange of presents among the rich, and the giving of costly presents to children. The former becomes a burden as the years go on, and the latter makes children blase, and a child that is blase is a child who has been badly treated and educated. No one should become blase, least of all a child.
 If these two hurtful kinds of giving should be eliminated there would be plenty of money in hand to fill the Christmas season with joy and the real Christmas spirit. There would be simple toys for the children, and good things for the less fortunate in the family or out of it-for the poor, the afflicted and even for those in the prisons. The cause of humanity ex- ceptS no one III tue CurlSlIldS SedSOn.
 There is short and excellent road by which all the unfortunate may be reached, namely, through the Salvation Army No organization is so well adapted to the case of the poor It can bestow gifts without wounding their Dride for its work is confined tO them It seeks them out and stays by the poor, the weak and the erring year in and year out.

Reuardinu Army Pay.

"In military circles the question of fili- ing up the ranks of the regular army continues to be discussed" said a na- tional guardsman. "The President and war department, officials are much con- cerned about the matter, and the fact that the ranks are now short about 10000 men interests the public generally
 "Various causes have been given to &C., count for the large number of assertions in time of peace and for the difficulty which recruiting officers find in enlist ing good material. General officers of long years of service have written moga- zine articles on the subject referred to-, and among other practical suggestions for remedying the trouble that of increased pay has been prominent. We are some times told by politicians and other civil fans that our regular soldiers receive larger pay than those of European armies In Germany the private serving as regular receives, in addition to rations and clothing, only about cents a day The non military man cites that fact to show that our regulars on enlistment are, relatively speaking, handsomely paid. but he fails to explain that in Germany en- listment is compulsory and that every able-bodied subject of the Emperor, re- gardless of social position or political in- fiuence. must serve a term in the army Therefore, if the German received no pay at all the army would be filled up just the same.
 Tn the United States army service must be voluntary, certainly in time of peace. The pay of private on enlistment is at the rate of only SIS a month, with food and clothing furnished The pay should be larger, and the administration so recommends. but being on the eve of a presidential election. this Congress will not pass a bill for swelling appropria- tions. Tie next Congress may take up the matter seriously
