NEW ASPECT OF
CURRENCY BILL
EXPECTED TO MAKE FAVORABLE
IMPRESSION ON CONGRESS-
WHEN AGAIN PRESENTED.
THE ORIGINAL PRINCIPLE
Will No. Be Departed From But
When Finance Committee Meets
Mondsj Some Importan:
Changes Will Be Made.

Washington, Jan. 25.-When the
senate ccmmitto on finance meets nexl
I Monday Chairman Aldrich will be pre-
Ipared to exhibit perfected text to
his currency bill. During the recess
of tho committee, Aldrich has been
engaged with Hale, Allison and other
prominent Republican members of the
committee in putting finishing touch
es upon the measure, and they held
their final meeting today. The new
bill will in no wise be a departure
| from the principle underlying of the
original measure, but it will embody
many changes, due primarily to sug-
gesticns made in the committee and
from outsiders.
| Among the more important changes
| there will be one accepting Bailey's
proposition for the distribution of the
proposed surplus bank issue among
various states in proportion to their
banking capital and surplus.
Other changes, which it is hoped
will have modifying effect upon the
opponents both in the Democratic party
in the senate and among western Re
pubicans is one increasing tho amount
|of extra circulation allowed by the
bill from $3.50, 100000 provided by ths
first draft to 100000, 900, and another
making radical changes in tho provi5-
ion in regard to municipal bonds,
which the bill provides shall be accept
cd as security for surplus issue.
As the bill stands it requires that
cities whose bonds may be accepted
shall be fifteen years Old, not fewer
than 10000 population and not tor
ten years defaulted on any bonded in.
debtedness. In the new print all
these restrictions and definitions will
he eliminated and the authorities will
thus be permitted to pass upon all
municipal bonds upon their merits at
the time presented.
The committee also will concede the
contention that additional issues will
be permitted to extend 90 per cent of
INC maj net value OF lHc DD1dS ueDOEit-
ed instead of rs per cent as the first
bill called for.
All these amendments arc intended
to meet the demands of those who
had to provide, first for greater ex.
pansion Of circulating medium. and
secondly for more liberal and equit
able treatment of smaller and newer
eenters of population, and hope is ex
pressed that they will have the effect
of popularizing the measure and expe.
diting its passage.
One important effect of the bill as il
will be presented will be that of max.
ing the United States treasury direct.
~ responsible for the payment OF all
bank notes issued after the law gees
into effect. Notes will be uniform.
and carry a legend to the effect that
the government guarantees payment
of the notes. thus placing the govern.
ment behind them with explicit
pledges.
