COMMISSION

Washington. Sept. 27.-In some
thing less than five years-to lbe ex.
act on June 30. 1914, the Aldrich
Nreeland financial act will expire by
h1ajiation and unless before that
date II is replaced by a wisely fran
ed measure of broad scope the coun-
try again will be in the perilous si;u-
alton that is commonly believed to
have resulted in the panic of 1907-0S
There is again realization of necessi-
ty of legislation on this subject. but
vide difference of opinion as TO form
Speaker Cannon believes a mere ex
tension of the present law with per
Eaps few amendments will suffice.
President Taft looks with favor upon
the proposition to create a central
bank. There are all sorts of inter
mediate schemes. Probably that
which co.nmends the greatest support
will be based upon the recommenda-
tions Of the Monetary Commission,
which has been at work for more than
a year gathering material for framing
actual legislation.
campaign of education Is about
to begin. This, in view of the facs
that Senator Aldrich, who heads the
commission, that II will be difficult
to arouse public interest in this abb
truse subject than and that only by
general agitation can the national
legislature Ibe brought to take action.
Soon after the return from Europe
of Senator Aldrich and Professor An
drews and other members of the COM
mission. which is expected to be
about the middle of next month, pre-
parations will be made for the publi-
cation of the preliminary report of the
commission and il is hoped that this
can be ready for submission to con
gress when it reassembles in Decen
ber. This will be only the beginning
but II viii serve the purpose of di
recting public attention to this i'm
portant subject and will afford the
members of congress material for
the study to fit themselves to grapple
knowingly with such legislation as ul
tisnately may be proposed by the mo-
netary commission. This commission

in a careful study in the European

tinental powers and a mass of data Of

erable misapprehension exists as to
the functions of this institution. Bas-
ed on the history of the operations
of the old United States bank, de-
stroyed by Andrew Jackson, appre
hension exists among the officials of
national and state banks that this
central bank may trench upon their
business and be a formidable compe-
titor so this phase of the matter will
be fully dealt with by the commission.
The most substantial objection ihat
has been advanced against that pro-
ject is based upon doubt whether
one central institution will be suffic-
ienily responsive to emergency de
mands from some distant section OF
the country. The suggested correct
ed measure, looking to the creation
of branches of the central bank has
only strengthened the fear of the ex-
listing banks that the United States
government is to enter the field Of
competition with them.

While Pitt, the grandfather of Lord
Chatham, was governor of Fort st.
George In 1893 he became acquainted
with jewel merchant named jam
chund, who brought diamond of
great size for sale. He asked 10000
for It In the rough. 1t should, of
course, have been bought on behalf of
the company. but Pitt, seeing money
In It., could not resist the temptation
of making n private bargain. He be-
came the possessor of the stone for
the sum Of f20,4O0, and he was quite
satisfied that he had behaved honor
ably when he paid the man, who on
his part was also content. But the
diamond was known to be worth more
than Jamchund had received, and the
transaction gave rise to good deal
of gossip, which In no way decreased
when later on Pitt had the stone cut
in England and sold 1t to the regent OF
France for f135,000. Even that enor-
nous sum did not represent its true
value. The'stone was set In the royal
