Minority Leader Williams critieizes
Him for Adjourning House April 18.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-Gaining the
floor by unanimous consent to speak
to the question of privilege, Williams,
the minority leader of the house, today
directed attention to what he called
the speakers breach of privilege of the
house, in arbitrarily adjourning the
house on Saturday last. While de-
nouncing the speakers act as arbitrary
and unprecedented, he said of Can
non: "The truth is, Mr.. Speaker, you
are one Of the best men in the world,
but long and undisturbed power, whose
lesser abuses have been good naturedly
passed over, has made you somewhat
despotic and intolerant of opposition"
Williams then offered the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That the act of the speak
er of the house of representatives in
adjourning the house on Saturday,
April is, 1908, was breach of priv
ilege of the house, affecting its safe
ty, dignity, and the integrity of it's
proceedings"
After Cannon had explained the rea-
son for his action Saturday was to put
a stop to dilatory tactics. the Williams
resolution was tabled, 146 to 119, Coop
er and Nelson, ,(repubican,) of Wis
consin. voting with the democrats.
The house today adopted the rule
agreed upon Saturday by the commit
tee on rules making every day a .sus-
pension day and providing for the pas
sage of all bills by a majority vote in
stead of tNo- thirds vote.

Bryan before leaving the capitol,
dictated In response to request, the
following interview, setting forth
briefly his views on the financial sit.
uation:
Lack OF public confidence is what
drives money out Of circulation. Re.
store public confidence and money re-
turns to It's accustomed channels.
For lack OF confidence the best rem.
edy Is insurance Of bank deposits,
and / have urged upon the various
states and congress the passage OF
some measure similar to the Law
adopted by Oklahoma. This pro.
yides for the creating Of guaranty
fund by assessments upon banks In
proportion to their deposits, and au.
thorizes the banking board to make
such assessments from time TO time
as may be necessary TO restore the
guarantee fund when 1t Is lowered by
the payment OF money TO depositors
OF failed banks.
This permits the resources OF all
these banks to be the resources OF
each bank, and insures each deposit
or against loss.
The Oklahoma statute permits ma
tional bank to take advantage OF the
state law and a national law should
permit state banks to come under
the provision OF that law In states
which have no guaranty system.
"As to an elastic currency, think
provision could be made for sufficient
elasticity In times OF emergency by

quate securities, and at rate OF in.
terest which would mpel the retire.
ment OF the notes when the emer-
gency is over. suppose all men,
bers OF congress and senators favor
some provision for an emergency cur
rency.
1.-The democrats. as rule favor a
system under which the government
will issue and control the value OF
emergency currency, while most re-
publicans favor some system under
which 1t would be issued and con.
trolled by the banks. This presents
the point IN dispute between the two
parties. The high tinanciers have
heen largely responsible for the pres.
ent panic by reason OF their reckless
methods, and l am satisfied that a
majority Of the people would prefer
to risk the government than risk
these men. Somebody must decide
upon the needs Of the people, and Sc
far as i am concerned, prefer that
the responsibility be with the public
officers responsible To the public
rather than with private individuals
who would be guided by their owr
interests, instead OF by the interest,
