THE CURRENCY COMMISSION.

II fortnight ago, when the forest
reserve bill was before the house,
Gear" Cannon had shown little OF
the enthusiasm tina. he is now express
ing at every opportunity In favor of
the passage at this session of a bill
providing for an emergency currency.
he would be accorded warmer place
In the hearts of his countrymen. The
emergency currency bill may have its
good points: It Is not that we want it's
passage less but that we did want the
forestry bill more. In addition there
Is the constant danger that congress
may fail to recognize the greater neel
there Is for a commission to investi-
gate the currency of the country gem
orally appointed this session and COM
posed of the right men.
The Aldrich and the vreeland bills
are at best makeshifts. Their uselese-
ness is In no way better shown than by
their condemnation by bankers gener-
ally What is wanted is a careful
study of our currency situation. 1t
should be conducted by experts. not
politicians: able bankers and states
men, not tricky lobbyists who know no.
thing of monetary conditions. As the
Journal of Commerce has said: 1T
ought to be obvious that framing a
currency and banking system is a sci
entifc and economic matter to be de-
termned by competent knowledge and
expert judgment on that special sub
iect, and not a political matter to be
determined by party considerations. It
is as much a question for experts as
one would be that called for architect
ura or engineering knowledge and
training. It would he as rational to
appoint a commission consisting exclu-
sively of members of congress, regard
less of special qualifications, to de-
termine the construction of a great
bridge or a vast museum building, az
to devise according to its own judg-
ment a system of currency and bank
ing. Finance is branch of states
manship In which there ought to be
eminent experts in congress, but this
session has demonstrated how few
there are who have any but the crud-
est knowledge and judgment on the
subject"
The Aldrich bill, as finally passed by
the senate, provides for committee
Of eighteen, nine appointed by the vice.
president and nine by the speaker OF
4 the house. The Vreeland bill. as pass
/ ed by the house, provides for the same

suggests forty-three members, Of whom
eleven should be senator's, eleven rep

One of the important questions
that has to be solved by our farm
ers and threshermen in the near fu-

bridges. A great many farmers
are building woven wire fences.
These they would not want the
threshermen to tear down to get
to some neighbor''s wheat field
The farmers must have the thresh
ers and the threshers must have
some way to get to the wheat
fields. At present there is not a
road bridge in Hazelton township
and few in the county that have
sufficient strength to allow an en-
gine to cross with safety. Now
what are we going to do about it;
Will we make stronger bridges OF
continue to have our fences pulled
down to make a road for the
thresher, or will we just have tc
quit growing crops that have to be
threshed? 1t is time now that we
settle this matter and save a great
deal Of trouble in days to come.

Rebaters Take Notice

By vote of five to three the United States supreme court upholds the Elkins law against the plea that it was superseded by the rate bill of the Fifty ninth Congress. The court also assalls in a vigorous manner rebaters, and 1t makes rebating an offense in any state in which the articles that led up to 1t are carried. In short, the decision that Justices Day, Harlan, White, Mckenna and Holmes joined in is warm attack upon rebaters and rebating in general. The court practically says Congress intended that all shippers should be treated alike-that it had power to say as much-and that the Elkins act must be enforced
 This seems to shell the Standard Oil out of it's position in the cases in which the fine of $29 100000 was imposed by Judge Landis. There seems now to be no way in which Standard Oil can escape the payment of that fine.
