A Currency Commission.

At last congress seems to have struck
the most sensible way of treating the
currency question. The Aldrich bill is
pig: on.holed in the house committee,
and will never get out, and the pros
pect of any currency legislation at this
session is consequently small. But it
is altogether probable that currency
commission will be created, to investi-
gate the whole subject, and formulate
a comprehensive plan for presentation
to the next congress. The idea is to
have house and senate appoint each
eleven members of this commission, and
the President twenty y-one, taken from
certain portions of the country and
representing certain occupations.
The idea is to have this commission
so over the whole subject and frame
fomething that will be permanent. The
Aldrich bill was admittedly an emer-
gency measure. Now that the emer-
gency is over, the present law may as
we'll be let alone until we can have
something comprehensive and perma-
nent. Of late, opinion, especially among
experts, has seemed to incline more and
more to the idea of United States
bank, which should perform somewhat
the same functions in this country as
the Bank of France and the Bank of
England do in their respective countries.
Whether this plan is the best one or
not, it is evidently a subject that should
be handled by experts, and any legisla
tion that is proposed should be. the sub
ject of mature deliberation, and should
be submitted only after due consulta-
tion with many authorities on finance.
