the president does. When he was am

SENATOR NELSON is the veteran Rhode
W. ALDRIcH. Island politician and
financier, Senator Nelson w. Aldrich.
He has been over twenty-five years In
the senate and chairman of the finance
committee for 50 long time that no
body can remember when he was not
in that position. Before the advent Of
the Roosevelt regime be welded so
great an influence In the upper branch
Of congress that he was sometimes
called the senate boss. His prestige
has somewhat declined In recent years,
but Is still strong. AS father-in-law Of
John D. Rockefellers son and with
millions Of his own and many more In
alliance with him he Is powerful
flnancier in politics. Though nearing
seventy, having been born In 1S41, he
Is erect and athletic still. has a yacht
and plays golf. Indeed, he has been
credited with being the champion golf
player of the senate
Congressman Charles N. Fowler Of
New Jersey, chairman of the house
committee on banking and currency in
the last congress and also the present
and author Of the much discussed
Fowler currency bill, recently gained
special prominence by his criticism of
the measures taken by the admfnistra-
ton for the relief Of the financial SIT
uation. He was born in Illinois fifty
five years ago, was graduated from
Yale and first chosen to congress In
1894 from the Fifth district Of New
Jersey. The committee Of which he Is
chairman Is known as the sixteen to
one committee because of the fact that
1t has seventeen members, each of
whom usually has a currency plan Of
his own, so that when any member
advances proposition embodying his
ideas the rest vote against It, sixteen
against one.
Senator II. G. Hansbrough Of North
Dakota, a member of the senate
finance committee, is another legislator
who is prominent as a financier. He
has introduced bill providing for the
establishment Of central government
bank.
George Won Lengerke Meyer is not
one of the national legislators, but his
plan for postal savings banks has re-
ceived good deal Of comment in con-
nection with the financial stringency.
He claims that such system would
afford a remedy for distrust Of the or,
binary banking institutions and would
tend to check boarding OF savings. The
postmaster general has recommended
that congress permit postofhces to re-
ceive deposits of 81 up to $3.50 annu-
ally until the account amounts to $500
and pay interest on such accounts at 2
per cent In semiannual installments
when the total account exceeds $40
He would obtain reimbursement for
this interest charge by lending the
money to national banks, and his idea
