CRITICISM OF CoRTElY0u
TILLMAN WANTS TO KNOW
ABOUT DELAYED INFORMATION
Chairman Aldrich Explains Non-Ar-
rivA OF Data Regarding the
Issue Of Bonds.

An animated debate occurred in the Sem
many comments upon what he termed the
failure OF the Secretary of the Treasury
to obey the resolution of the Senate call
ing for Information concerning the recent
issue Of Panama canal bonds. Mr.. Aldrich
upon entering the chamber explained that
the Secretary's response to the resolution
had resulted from the necessity of MAX
ing a full statement Of all the reasons
that had Influenced the Secretary, and
that that had taken more time than had
been anticipated. He assured the senator
| that the information would be forthcoming.
and spoke in high terms of the Secretary
of the Treasury. He continued.
1T is much easier to ask questions than
to answer them.'
MT. Tillman, that these questions were
asked by his own committee. Now 1 will
give some, additional reasons why we
should have this information forwarded
70 US. l have letter from Mr.. Kloberg
inclosing a reply he received from Assist
ant Secretary Edwards.
This, he continued. may give some
iight as showing why the Secretary finds
II so dimcult to answer inquiries we have
propounded. This is the letter giving rea-
sons why he refused to recognize bidders
for bonds"
In reply, Mr.. Tillman read from Mr.
Edwards letter: You are advised that
under the reservation made by the de-
partment allotment was first made to in
dividuals and institutions for amounts not
exceeding 10000 The remainder was al
iotted to the highest national bank bid
ders."
This course was followed, the letter con-
tinued. because it was not deemed wise
in the currency stringency to withdraw
money from the banks by making allot-
ments to individuals. which resulted in
leaving 30 per cent of the purchase price
In the banks and allowed them to take
out additional circulation on the Panama
bonds.

and Three Children.

AUSTIN. Tex, January 2O.-Mr and
Mrs. c. Sauer. who live thirty miles from
here. and three OF their children have
died and two other children are in a crit
ical condition from arsenic in food they
ate Saturday night. The first effects of
the poison were noticed Immediately after
supper, when the whole family were
taken sick. Doctors were summoned from
nearby country communities.
Mr.. Sauer was the first to die. quickly
followed by his wife and three OF the
children. An analysis Of the food which
they ate showed that 1t contained a large
quantity of arsenic.
An investigation Is being made by the
local authorities Of Milan county.

A Savings Education.

&
National banks and savings banks deal
directly with the securities offered by
business undertakings and can afford to
pay from 3h to 4 per cent for money.
But they cannot educate a whole people to
save money that is not needed for use for
a month or two months as well as this
postal savings convertible bond could do
it. and do 1t. too. without boarding the
currency.
Thus this system of bonds with its low
rate of interest reinforces the savings
banks, and the national banks by doing
work educative to the people in the hab-
its of saving money and OF valulng even
small rates of interest.
AN important item. indeed an essential
feature Of the convertible bond. is that it
cannot demand a premium nor fall to
discount. because 1t can be purchased in
any amounts at par value with added In
terest any day for such money as Is re-
ceived to pay for money orders. and like
wise sold to the government at par value,
with interest added. the next day or any
other day. II the convertible bond could
be at a premium or at discount 1t would
DESTROY all it's value and make the postal
savings convertible bonds impossible.
Hence to carry out this scheme for the
prevention of boarding it is necessary to
keen on sale always full supply of con-
vertible bonds. But there Is no danger OF
increasing the public dent Dy the ScheHe,
because each bond is sold for cash paid In
and Ia Cancelled when turned In to the
government and exchanged for money.
To Discontinue Hoarding.
eff the Treasury should at any time buy
any of the United States bonds outstand-
ing at higher rates of interest,", 3 or
per cent-paying the premium those bonds
bring. the equivalent Of those bonds could
be used to increase the amount OF volume
of currency In case 1t is found that the
business of the country really needs such
increased volume of money. But until
boarding Of currency has been discontin-
ned. as II will be bv the convertible bond.
no one can ever tell what is the real need
Of the nation as respects currency. 1t is
more than likely that it will be found
our currency is larger now than really
necessary after the boarding has been
transferred to securities and the currency
relieved from serving two functions-frst.
Of medium of exchange. and, second. of an
invested security. or as fixed capital.
which. of course. can and ought to be
boarded"

Proposed by DR.. Harris, Ex-
Commissioner of Education.
PRESENT SYSTEM RIGID
Convertible Bond System Claimed to
Be Elastic.
COST COMPARATIVELY SMALL
Bond Series to Make It Possible for
National Banks to Rid Them
selves Of Accumulations.

DR.. William T. Harris. ex-commissioner
of education. in an interview last even
ing on the currency question proposed a
plan for making the national currency
elastic. DR.. Harris. although primarily
interested in educational questions. has
been a student Of currency methods for
more than twenty years. He said:
How to Attain Elasticity.
Complaints are made against the cur
rency system of the United States-that
1t is too rigid, that the supply Of money
does not expand or contract according to
the needs of trade. When the agr;cul-
tural west harvests and markets its crops
in the fall of the year large volumes of
currency are needed. When foreign coun-
tries receive and pay for agricultural
products the money comes from Europe
into eastern cities and the New York
banks have more money than they can
use.
There is a much greater evil. People
may hoard a currency, thus withdrawing
1t from circulation: and they do hoard
this currency whenever any doubt arises
as to the safety of deposits in banks or
when there is any fear Of a scarcity OF
money.
Whenever anything happens to weaken
credit In the banking system rigid cur
rency quickly feels its effects. Ordinary
prudence makes the individual hold on to
the money he Is sure of because 1t Is In
hand. And the banking institutions
struggle to keep up their reserves to the
legal standard-$262. O0O. 900 for New York
city. Money which ought to be kept ac-
tive making exchanges Is stored up like
merchandise, and trade stagnates In con-
sequence. Maturing obligations cannot
be met and widespread disaster results.
"a nation that furnishes the monetary
system for its people should adopt such
devices as will make the national cur
rency elastic. An ideal currency should
contract its volume when 1t becomes too
abundant for the needs Of trade and ex-
pand when 1t is deficient. Such device
might seem difficult to come by. but 1t
such terms as can be afforded by the gov
ernment without too much outlay. 1t is
this:
