GRANGE RAPS
CENTRAL BANK
National Body Goes on Record
Against Plan.
SCORES SHIP SUBSIDY PLAN

stand Against AIdrIch's Bank Scheme
Is Unanimous - Strong Legislative
Platform Adopted -creasy's First
Report Read.
Des Moines. Ia, Nov. 1.-THE Ma
tlonal Grange. representing q million
farmers, went on record as opposed
to the Aldrlch central bank scheme
The western representatives at the
grange meeting were particularly Wig
orous in their denunciation Of Aldrich
and his plan.
In his annual address at the open
ing OF the forty-third session OF the
National Grange, National Master
Bachelor denounced the Aldrich prop
osltion.
"The question of amending our ma
tlonal banking laws 80 as to provide
a currency system that Will prove
more elastic in times of financial strin'
gency. will come up in congress In the
near future" said he. Among other
plans suggested as remedies for the
present admittedly unsatisfactory con
ditlons. Is that Of the creation OF a
great central bank. which will be arg
ed by the financial and speculative In
terests located in New York city and
known commonly as Wall street
80 far as this plan has been out
lined by lts advocates. Its Inevitable
tendency would be to create a gigantic
banking monopoly and to place the
thousands of small country banks at
the mercy Of the great financial inter
ests. As the grange has always de-
nounced monopolies in any form. 1t Is
advisable that appropriate action be
taken to express our opposition to any
changes In our currency or banking
laws that would give one bank or com.
bination Of banks advantage over all
the others OF the country"
These recommendation were EN-
bodied in a resolution. which was
unanimously adopted.
National Master Bachelor also rap
ped President Taft on the latter's ship
subsidy stand.
Legislative Platform.
The grange Endorsed the movement
to elect senators by direct vote and
provides for aggressive work by the
National Grange legislative commit
tee toward securing a constitutional
convention. which is made possible by
the action upon this proposition by a
sufficient number Of state legislatures.
The legislative platform OF the Ma
tional Grange is outlined as follows;
Federal appropriation for highway
improvement.
Establishment Of rural and general
parcels post.
Establishment of postal savings
banks
Election OF United States senators
by direct vote.
Appointment of a permanent non
partisan tariff commission.
Defeat of ship subsidy legislation.
Retaining or strengthening the
present oleomargarlne laws.
Liberal appropriation for farm
schools"
In his first report to the National
Grange as representative from Penn
sylvanla, william T. Greasy made
some progressive recommendations tc
the national body and sounded a mum
Der OF points in which farmers are
deeply Interested. His report was re
ferred to the committee on masters

DARK DAYS FOR ALDRICH.


The belief is gaining ground that
IN the revolt of republican senators
from the Western States against the
Aldrich plan of revising the tariff.
the latter is up against the hardest
proposition he has had to face dur
ing his long term Of service in the
senate, and that in order to save
victory from the jaws Of defeat, he
may he forced to yield to the income
tax amendment, which, if it should
stand the constitutional test, would
inevitably presage the downfall Of the
entire, protective system.
Republican newspapers under the
domination Of the standpatters de-
scribe the temper of these Western
senators as being "peevish, - which
term the St: Louis Republic says,
is entirely too mild to indicate the
real condition. "Mad all through
and getting madden all the time are
the only words of description that fit
their case," says the Republic.
"The standpatters and the reac-
tionaries Of the Aldrich following"
continues the Republic, grow purple
with rage when their right to make
the tariff in their own way is ques-
toned by senators from states which
have heretofore assented that what
ever the republican leaders in the
senate and house may plan to do is
necessarily right. These States
having become enlightened about
the robberies of republican tariff,
the senators they have sent to
Washington do not accept with
meekness or patience the intoler-
ance with which their protests are
received. And so we have threats of
gag rule in the senate, as when
BristoW, of Kansas, is interrupted
with cries Of Vote, vote!' and ref
erences to lamp posts and hemp when
senilities from Depew irritate an Iowa
senator to. the explosive point. The
revolt having spread as far east as
Indiana it's not in aAyoice of persua-
sion or pleading that Beveridge blunt
ly notifies the mossback Bourbons of
his party that these western senators
must have a tariff that they can de-
fend on the stump next year, and,
vocular as Beverage is, he knows that
all the talking he can do will never
satisfy Indiana with the kind Of tar
iff that Aldrich is fighting for -
On with the fight and let joy in
the democratic camp be unconfned.

minis, Of Dolliver, and of Bristow,
