by a strong area of high pressure
which is now central over western
Washington and is clearing up the

barometric disturbance is central over
Kansas. Reports from the vicinity of
the Gulf storm are missing. A high

FOR A CENTRAL BANK

The words of Edward V. Vreeland
of New York in favor of a central bank
are entitled to the country's serious
consideration. Mr.. Vreeland is chair
man of the house committee on bank
ing and currency. He was recently
appointed to that post, in place of
Fowler of New Jersey. who held it for
several terms. The view which he
expresses seems to find favor with
majority of the members Of the COM
mittee
This is live question just now. 4
monetary commission was appointed
year ago to study the entire ques-
ton Of finance as it applies to our
conditions. Mr. Vreeland is a MEM
Der of that commission. Senator AL
drich, the head of the finance COM
mittee in his chamber. is the chair
man of the commission. He also ia
vors a central bank. A bill will be re-
ported by the commission, it is be-
lieved, some time during the session
which begins in December. 1t will be
introduced in both chambers stimuli
taneously. All the influence which
can be exerted by these committees
to secure its enactment Will be en-
ployed. This is one of the big Ques-
tions to which Mr.. Taft is expected to
give attention in his message at the
opening of the session.
Hamilton, the secretary of the treas
which went into existence under a
twenty years charter in 1871 1t was
allowed to die in 1911. but new in
stitution based upon the same princi-
pie was established in 1916, the demo-
Gratis, who had opposed the first one
being in favor of the second. Jack
son defeated the project to extend the
charter of the bank of 1916 and il
died at the expiration of its patent in
1886. That bank, however. had some
monopolistic features which are not
in the plan outlined by Chairman
Nreeland. Its dividends are limited to
per cent, and the balance on its
earnings goes into the treasury of the
United States. England, France. Ger
many, Holland and other European
countries have institutions on some
what similar lines to those which ap-
pear in the Vreeland plan. Here is a
subject TO which the country will be
compelled TO give some attention
when congress meets.

den has divided the present members
into two classes designated as the

prize will be awarded
Secretary Hadden is also getting the
Sunday school departments in line and
from each institution has selected a
committee to Segregate the names and
pick out those who it deems most like
ly to come in. The schools of the city
are also being campaigned and Mr..
MADDEN is making separate tour of
these and tells his audience of the
many values that accrue from mem
bership in the Y. NJ. c.. A.
Every possible way to, secure new
members and increase the present roll
is being utilized and it is expected that
when the campaign is over the de-
sired result will be accomplished.
