F4VORS BANKERS BILL.
John L. Hamilton DenouRces
.4Idr1ch and Fo7Cler Measures.

Washington, Jan 31--John L. Hamilton ex-
president of the American Bankers Association
appeared before the House Committee on Banking
and Currency to-day, and in the course of vigor-
GUS statement frequently interrupted by questions
from members of the committee advocated the
passage the financial bill representing the views
Of the currency committee of the American Bank
Association. and opposed the bills introduced
by Senator Aldrich and Representative Fowler.
The scheme of the AldTich bill for the issuance
Of emergency currency on such security the
bonds Of states. counties, municipalities and cor
porations was denounced by Mr. Hamilton as i'm
practicable. unwise ard financially unsound He
asserted that this proposed departure from the
system which has obtained since the foundation of
the government is "a step backward toward the
conditions from which arose the wildcat currency
in before the Civil War" and denied that the
substitution would aid the business public in oh
tanning loans from banks in time of great need.
He thought that in practical operation it would
impair the lending power of the banks The bill,
he said. would operate false infater Of those
bonds authorized securities and would incite
states counties municipalities and certain cor
poratons overissue Of bonds. 1T would set
a premium upon increase of bonded Indebtedness
which would be highly detrimental TO the bond
issuers"
The ma rketing Of non government securities he
said, should be part of the nations business,
and. furthermore the necessary delay incident 10
determining the value Of bonds offered security
for emergency currency would make II un-
available until after the crisis past. Crises,
he said ARE short sharp and dangerously de-
cisive: the Aid-fch bill Is remedy ofersd after
recovery or death
Referring TO the Fowler bill, MI Hamilton con-
ceded the inclusion by it of some neritorious feat
ures but he condemned the measure as a whole.
Among his reasons pas that fits scope is too broad
that il aims radical reform Of the cur
rency system that put IL in operation would
unsettle rather than mend financial conditions.

WANT CANAL WORK HURRIED.

Help from Government.

sent letter to Governor Hughes protesting
against any changes in the plans for the improve
r1ent Of the state canal system, such as those
s,,.y-aetad nv the Superintendent of Public Works
and urging prompt execution of the plans as
embodied in the statutes. The association is es-
peciallv opposed to the joint construction by the
state and United States government OF ship
canal from Lake Ontario 20 the Hudson
A~er pointing that even were such a canal
constructed the vessels which could be used in 1t
would be OF little after they reached New
York the letter goes say that TO give the
government a hand in building such canal would
ba TO put the work in the hands of those who
were onposed to II. The association believes that
by CARRYING the policies already adopted for
the widening of the canal locks to permit
the massage of vessels OF 2.eoo tons burden. the
canal would be established on a foundation that
