Question-Othcr Legislation.

Senators and Representatives began
| coming into Washington 10y tens and
tWenties yesterday, and nearly every one
of them is fun or views and looking for
news Of the legislative programme. Some
of them were willing TO talk for publica-
tion. Their ideas differed widely as 70
what should or should not he done.
The ideas Of the leaders all tend toward
the enactment OF a currency law that will
/ have a permanent benefit. They believe
! this law should provide for the issue OF
additional currency by banks or clearing
houses. this currency TO be subject 20 "a
tax heavy enough to force its withdrawal
from circulation when the emergency for
which it WAS issued has passed

The Congress leaders are apparently in
clined TO the belief that these currency
notes or certificates should have the sta
bility of government money, and they are
giving much thought TO the question.
Here is a representative lot OF inter-
views, presenting "A variety Of opinions

Senator Hansbrough (Rep., y. Dak)-
My opinion is that d government bank
of issue would solve the problem. Gov

and issued by it. The central bank should
be located FAR from the speculative at

Senator Perkins CRep.. CaL)-"I am on
posed to any revision of the tariff at the
coming session. California is satisfied
with the present tariff and the country is
prosperous. Therefore. it does not seem
wise to meddle with the tariff.

Republican news item. [volume] (Laport, Pa.) 1896-19??, 1907-08-08
A Word to State Republicans.

"The Republican party is not re-
sponsible for the misuse that has been
made OF 1t in Philadelphia" says tho
editor of the Juniata Herald. "The
truth is that it deserves credit for cor
recting the wrongs that have been COM
mitted by some of its faithless mem-
bers. The corruption that has existed
in Philadelphia is wholly OF loca.
character and the party in the state has
no connection with or relation to It..
Why should the party elsewhere suffer
on account of It? Why should state
candidates be defeated because of what
has occurred in single city? II the
sins of few were to be visited upon
the party when could 1t ever be sue
cessful? The Republican ticket is COM
posed Of honest men, was fairly nomi-
mated and is entitled to the support OF
every member of the party Be sure
to vote for It."
