Three-Cent Fare
With Four Cents
as the Maximum
Agreement Reached at Cleveland
Which Takes Street Car Contro-
versy Out of Politics.

CLEVELAND, o., Oct. 5.--A conference
was held today to arrange final details
which will result in an absolute settlement
OF the local street railway situation which
has been bitterly agitated for eight years.
During the life of the controversy 1t has
been political issue at all times. Partial
settlements have been made and many pro-
posed, but all failed OF their object. Now
peace is assured.
The basis OF the strike has been Mayor
Tom L. Johnsons contention for a 3-cent
fare. The proposed settlement will be on
this rate of fare and will eliminate the
street car question from the fall campaign.
1t is agreed the city shall give the Cleye-
land Railway company, the owner of the
local lines, a twenty-five-year franchise
revokable at any time any Of the details Of
the contract with the city is void The city
reserves the right to buy the lines at any
time municipal ownership is made lawful
The city also reserves the right to name a
purchaser of the lines after eight years.
The initial rate of fare is to be cents on
all lines with a 1-cent extra charge for
transfer. Both the city and the railway
company have agreed to let Judge Robert
w. Tayler of the United States court de-
termine the value OF the railway property
and the maximum rate of fare.
1t is agreed that at no time shall the rate
Of fare be greater than will allow the com
pany an earning Of more than per cent on
the value If the property. clnsstent with
good service. Judge Tayler has indicated
that he will make the maximum rate 4
cents for a cash fare and the regular ticket
rate seven tickets for 25 cents. and cent
extra for transfers. This proposition has
been accepted both by the city and the
railway company.

MONEY LEGISLATION NEEDED
Congress Must Meet Situation Born of
the Panic of 1907.
PLANS OF THE ADMINISTRATION
Bill VIII Probably he Drawn
by Monetary Commission Along
Lines of President Taft's
Boston Speech.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The coming con-
gress must meet situation born OF the
panic Of 1907, when the issue of clearing
house certificates by the government to
supply sufficient currency to meet the de-
mands OF the business Interests of the
country was necessary. 7he temporary leg
islation enacted during that critical period
must be either supplanted, or re-enacted
into permanent law, and foremost among
the various projects that have been ad-
vanced as a proper solution of the govern
ment's problem stands the proposed ma
tional central bank.
1t is the comman belief that 1t will form
the basis of the curative legislation to be
recommended by the monetary commission
and President Taft in his recent Boston
speech signified his own favorable disposi-
ton toward the project.
"A bank Of the people and for the people,
is the definition of this institution made
by George M. Reynolds, president of the
American Bankers association, in his Chi
cago speech. He pointed out that the peo-
Pile were to be the stockholders, for anyone
would be privileged to buy the bank stock
just as he might a government bond. A
small interest on such an investment would
be guaranteed by the government. Any
other earnings more than sufficient to pay
the guaranteed interest would be shared
by the government and by the stockholders
To Avoid Political Control.
Political control of the great bank would
be made at least extremely difficult by
the life appointment of the officers. In
tegrty Of operation would be assured by
board Of supervisors appointed by the
president, the secretary Of the treasury and
the comptroller of the currency Subject to
the approval OF the senate) for alternate
terms of at least eight years to bridge
over political mutations.
Thus would be met the objections founded
upon the history Of the old United States
bank, that the Central bank might be
prosttuted to political use and be made
an engine Off the perpetuation in power of
one party. It is not intended that the
Central bank should support the credit Of
the nation. If the national government needs
funds, II It spends more money than 1t
collects by taxation, it must continue in
the old way TO borrow from the world-at-
large by the sale of bonds.
Bank TO Issue Notes.
The single purpose of this projected bank
would be to safeguard the business inter
est ol lhe PeopIe III Iheli PilNaNo ielauoAs'
II there were need for more money for
business purposes, the bank would supply
it by notes and II there were a plethora,
in dull times these notes would be retired
rapidly, Governmental assistance To the
institution would be limited TO the deposit
with the Central bank of all government
funds now in the National banks. The
existing banks, IT is hoped, would find
