every Republican would vote for and
which no one believed in. 1T was the
most extraordinary bill lever pre-
sented to the house. He maintained
that the Vreeland bill did not figure
in 1t at all, ut is the Aldrich bill,
pude and simple, r he exclaimed.
There was not a single banker in
the country who would favor the so
called Vreeland provisions Of the
bill. The essential part UT the bill
in his opinion was section three,
which he argued was the Aldrich
bill, and he said that no commercial
paper would ever be availed of in
issuing this so-called emergency
currency" There was not. he said
a single banker or financitl expert
who would ever be willing to admit
that there was any emergency or
that there would be any emergency.
Mr.. Ollie James of Kentucky, said
the Republicans, under the provis-
ions of the bill, not only turned over
to the banks the public treasury, but
turned it over to one man. "a man
who is to be chairman Of that COM
nilsson, and he undoubtedly will be
the gentleman from Rhode Island,
Mr.. Aldrich.''
A brief explanation of the bill was
made by Mr.. Weeks of Massachusetts,
one of the singers of the conference
report. The securities provided for
by the bill, he said, were protected
in exactly the same way that clearing
house certificates had been protected
and he said thaere was not an in
stance Of single failure. The banks,
he declared, would always put up
their best securities, not their poor
est, when asking for clearing house
certificates for circulation.
Regretting the political aspect,
which he said had been injected into
the measure, Mr.. McHenry OF Penn
sylvania said that he was willing
that the Republican party should
assume responsibility for unloading
on the pople purely Wall street
proposition.
Minority leader. Mr.. Williams, got
the floor for three minutes. The bill,
he said, ought to have been entitled
the "Cannon-Aldrich political emer-
gency BILL
Mr.. Burton inquired of the Dem
ocrats why it was that they had not
said one word about the fact that
the basic principle of the Williams
bill was the Aldrich bill. ssNot only
did you make municipal and state
bonds, the basis for currency" he
said, "but you out-Aldriched Aldrich
in your bill" The present measure,
he said, would serve its purpose. It
might not be permanent and he said
the conferees placed a time limit up
on it to suit that branch of public
opinion which believed in the entire
reorganization Of the entire system
Of banking.
The vote was taken and the con-
ference report was adopted 166 to
140.
The Democrats voted solidly
against the report and they were

Biographical Sketch.
The death of Senator Allison removes
from the senate a man who for more
than a quarter of century has been
one of its most prominent members. He
had served continuously since 1873, and
for the greater part of his term of ser
vice he was recognized as one of the
most influential members of that body
AS chairman OF the committee on APP
propria tons much of the financial leg
islation passed through his hands. He
had not been in good health for soma
time, and this fact had given rise 10
some speculation as to whether he
would be a candidate for reelection
his term expiring March 8. 1909.
Mr.. Allison was born at Perry, O..
March 2. 1929. and removed TO Iowa in
1867. He served as a member of the
house of representatives in the Thirty
eighth. Thirty-ninth, FOrtieth and
Forty-first congresses prior to his cleo
ton TO the senate.
