RHODE ISLAND DOES NOT REFER
TO CUMMINS AS EXPECTED
TALKS OF WEST.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 11.-Sen-
ator Nelson w Aldrich of Rhode Is
land, chairman of the National None
tary commission, continued his series
of western addresses on finance here
tonight in a speech before the Bank
ers' cub.
Des Moines is the home of Senator
CumminS, one of the inSurgent re-
pub lean leaders, but those who ex-
pected the Rhode Island senator to
make any uncOmplimentary alluslon
to the Iowan were disappointed.
Mr.. Aldrich spoke especially of the
growing Importance of the west as
affording the best reason why people
of Iowa should demand stable
banking system. In discussing tne
comlnercial paper feature of foreign
banking Mr. A,drich said:
In Germany all notes, taxed or
-untaxed, NUT be covered by an
amount of specie equal to one-tnird
of the total issue and an amount or
bankable bills equal TO the other two
thirds Those bi Is are what we
would call commercial paper. They
must bear the name of two solvent
parties and must not run for more
than 80 days. In France bankable
bills must bear three names and
have a 80 day limit In Great Britain
two names of English citizens, one
of whom must be acceptor, are re-
quired.
Our peop'e use promissory notes,
either with a SINCE name or with en-
dorsers No such thing as prom
issory note is known in the ordinary
