WOULD LEND ALL
MONEY TO BANKS
Controller Urges New System
of Handling Funds OF
the State
Assembly Committee Considers
Radical Departure From
Present Methods

CALL HEADQUARTERS. CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING. sACRA-
MENTO. Jan. 3O.-Several measures
which have for their object the chang
ing of the entire system of handling
and lending the funds of the state were
discussed by the assembly judiciary
committee this evening. and will be
taken up again next Friday.
The most striking feature of the bills
is the plan to lend all of the money in
the treasury to banks in different parts
of the state, and transact all business.
including settlements with the treas
uPers of the various counties, by means
of a system of warrants drawn on the
different institutions. This is a radical
departure from the present system.
which requires the treasurer to keep
in the capitol vaults large portion OF
the states funds.
Controller Nye appeared before the
committee this afternoon and explained
the purport OF the measures IN a gen.
eral way. He pointed out that at pres
ent the state deposits certain portions
of it's funds with banks. which are re-
quired to furnish collateral in the form
of state or municipal bonds to an
amount 10 per cent in excess of the
deposit which the state makes He ex-
planned that the state could secure
much more interest and be adequately
protected by widening the scope Of the
present law to the extent of allowing
the treasurer to deposit all of the
money in the banks.

beyond any possible conjecture, SO
that the smaller mains previously
laid, and ample at the time, have
been found inadequate.
This is condition which obtains
in any community, and considering
the many difficulties attendant upon
the service of gas following the
catastrophe of 1906. it seems to me
that the San Francisco gas and
electric company is entitled to praise
for what it has been able to ac-
complish rather than blame

Among the passengers who arrived
here yesterday on the liner Asia were
three delegates from Manila on their
way to Washington TO make a spe-
cial plea TO congress for free trade
with the United States for tobacco,
sugar and other products Of the Phil
ippines.
These delegates are accredited rep
resentatives of the insular govern
ment They are: John S. Hord, col
lector of internal revenue; A J. Fran
els. a Manila businessman Daniel
O'Conneu of the Manila chamber of
commerce.
When Uncle Sam took the islands
from Spain, say the delegates, he put
an end to the reciprocal arrangements
whereby the products of the islands
found markets abroad and at the same
time he shut the tariff gate between
the Philippines and the United States.
The sugar planters are bankrupt, say
the delegates, and business generally
is at a standstilL China is now the
only customer for Philippine sugar. and
John Chinaman, safe on account of the
American tariff from competition, sets
his own price and takes care that it is
exceedingly low.
All this and more will be told to con-
gress and by way of illustrating the
richness of the Philippines Hord has
with him a case in which samples of
the native products are arranged. Hord
will proceed to Washington at once.
O'Donneu and Francis will stay here
until the arrival of the Buford with
the constabulary band. They will ac-
company the band east. This band,
which is one of the musical wonders
of the world, viii play at President
Tafts inauguration.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, CHAMBER

MENTO, Jan. 30.-Your bill should not
be delayed. Powerful influences are
working against you. What day will
it come to a voter"
per house of the anti-racetrack bill, re-
ceived this telegram of warning today
from Arthur Let's. of Los Angeles, one
of. the prominent anti -racetrack work
ers of the south.
While ignorant Of the particular in
f1uences to which Let's refers, Walker
processes no fear as to the outcome of
the anti-racetrack fight. Nevertheless,
he intends to watch the progress of the
bill with the utmost vigilance until it
reaches the hands of the governor
The fight on the final passage of
the BILL, said Walker, should come
on Wednesday. 1 do not fear as to the
result. The opposition has no consid-
cradle strength. Those who are going
to vote for the bill have placed them
selves on record and they total enough
strength to vote down bad amendments
and pass the measure
Walker says that as soon as the
bill passes the second reading file it
will be compared word for word with
the original, TO make sure that no err
rors have crept in.
The bill will be read the second time
on Monday and will then go to the
committee on engfossment and enroll
ment, consisting of Senators Stro-
bridge of Hayward, Birdsall of Auburn
and Bell of Pasadena
Wednesday should see the bill before
the senate for third reading and final
passage. The last struggle against the
measure will take place then. The
champions of the racetrack and the
poolrooms may make desperate eff
| fort to kill the bill, or it may be that
they will acknowledge their inability
to stop its passage and put up only a
pepfunctory sort of fight. In either
case it seems certain that the bill will

have no foundation whatever; in
fact, the san Francisco gas and cleo

day a purer gas of higher candle

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-Prices in the
wheat pit on the Board of Trade were
inclined to sag during early trading
today owing to renewed selling by
local pears. Offerings, however. were
not liberal. The continued heaviness
of the cash situation in this country
was supplemented as a. bearish IN
fuence by the Ohio crop report which
indicated an increased acreage sown
to winter wheat in that State this fall.
Prices at the opening were II to u
higher, with December at 1914 to 1915
After touching 1o15s@% the December
option sold off to 1013s.,
Continuance of clear weather In the
corn belt encouraged renewed hammer
ing of the corn market by bears, which
resulted In slight declines in all de-
~liveries. December opened unchanged
at 5sA and sold off to 5SA@%.
Liberal receipts of oats caused mod
crate weakness in the market for that

price touched 3S%@X.

WALL STREET NOTES.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Holiday inter-
ruptions and the uncertainty over the
adequacy of money supplied to sustain
active speculation checked the stock
market readings during the week to
some extent. The decline in condition
Of great central banks abroad in spite
OF efforts at recuperation revived dis
cussion of possible further rise in dis
count rates. Reception of announce
ments OF new issues of railroad stocks
was not favorable and caused declines
in the stocks affected. Trade and com
merclaI advices continued highly favor
able. especially from the iron and steel
trades. Some large sales of copper Were
reported and there was a belief that
closer relations among the principal
copper producers we're in view.
Uptown Sentiment-Even the most
optimistic spectators say that they
do not look for the general list 70
fiuctuate within a wide range in the
near future. They believe that when,
ever a stock has an advance Of several
points, as in case of Steel common,
there will be sufficient proft-taking
and short selling to bring out a fair
sized feaction. It is very well under
stood now in speculative circles thai
the largest Interests are not in favor
of great activity in the stock market
until they are better satisfied with the
position of the money market.
The market in London was very irreg'-
ular this morning, but a better feeling
prevails on account of the impression
that the Bank of Germany will not in
crease its rate on Monday. The selling
in our market yesterday was occasioned
by fears that there would be further in
creases and higher rates in the contin-
entail money centres, followed, of course,
by higher rates here. The bankers be-
lieve that there will be a slight tension
of money during the next three weeks,
after which 1t will ease. Union Pacific
was we'll bought yesterday, one house
taking no less than 10000 shares. Cop
per continues to be firm and is well
bought. Steel common was irregular,
but the conflicting reports of h old
listing this stock in Paris. The condi-
tons In trade are brilliant, and brokers
continue bullish on this stock. The
market will be irregular today, but will
maintain a strong ~undertone, If the
bank statement is not too unfavorable.
