Slight Notifications.

some notifications, win, I presume.
work as wen as any
The above is the statement Of DR..
P. B. Reynolds. vice president Of the
state university and head of the De-
partment Of Economics and sociolo-
.gy OF the college DR.. Reynolds has
the well earned reputation Of being
the best informed man in West vir-
ginia regarding economics, and his
statement in connection with the All
drich bill that has been introduced
in4congress is worthy OF considerable
notice. For years the learned pro-
lessor has made study of the finan-
cial condition Of this as well as all
other countries. and he speake with
the voice of authority on this matter,
Or. Reynolds realizes that there is
need Of a more elastic currency than
we have at the present time; cur
rency that viii be able to prevent a
panic which comes because OF the
inability of the present system TO
meet all requirements. He favors
the Aldrich bill as general PROPOSE
ton but is of the opinion that it
could be improved to some extent.
Regarding the bill he said further,
What is wanted is a currency guar
anteed By the government, and that
viii not lend itself to speculation and
the advantage of the richer banks
and dealers in the required collateral.
Ex-secretary Cages proposed amend
ment, to have the emergency notes
guaranteed by clearing house ASSOC
Citations and secured by good paper
other than the proposed savings bank
collateral, would improve the bill
and guard more effectively again t
abuse"
with this amendment, giving as
surance that any bank that can give
the security can take out the emer-
,gency notes, I think the plan will
work as well as any plan for more
elastic currency can work"
