CURRENCY REFORM
TOFRONT THIS YEAR
Aldrich Expected to Push
Some Kind of Bill Next
Winter.

It can be set down as pretty certain
that the question Of currency reform
Will be pushed to the front with great
vigor about the opening of the De-
cember session of Congress If by that
time there is serious manifestation of
purpose TO press any radical amend
ments to the Interstate commerce laws.
or TO reorganize into more effective
shape the antitrust act.
Senator Aldrich is credited with two
purposes in connection with the work
of the monetary commission, of which
he is the father and executive. In the
first place he wants currency legisla-
ton because he sincerely believes the
country needs it. He considers the
present system unsatisfactory and az
adapted TO the nations needs. He has
ambition 10 be the father Of a real
currency system for the country; one
which will be q monument to his con-
structive capacity and will give an
swer TO the cynical assumption that he
is a mere Senate agent of interests.
Strong for Peace.
But aside from all that. the Rhode
Island Senator is strong for peace and
harmony. He doesn't want the big
questions involving the relation Of the
Government to corporations stirred UP.
He doesn't think anything is to be
gained by any more interstate COM
merce legislation just now. And in order
to stave Oft anything of this kind the
currency reform business is to be de-
veloped into a great issue in the Senate
and used as a buffer to fend off any
uncomfortable propositions 1t may

work up much excitement over cur
pears necessary il will be pushed to
the front, and will forthwith absorb
al attention of the Senatorial elders.
Playing for position is a great game
in the national legislature; a game at
! which "a few powerful men are most
adept They have various schemes OF
stopping gaps and killing time. The
postal savings bill has served a spien-
did purpose last session. and so has the
penal code legislation.
President Taft is himself strongly
! in favor of currency reform. He be

administration could accomplish.

generally understood around the HOuS1
that Speaker Cannon is going to live
up TO his title Of "The Iron Duke a
title which was used by Representative
Norris Of Nebraska several times in
his speech on the rules yesterday after
noon.

complish the defeat of the Speaker and
overthrow the rules can expect no IA
