BANK EXCHANGES GAIN.
But New York City and Other
Places Report Losses.

NEW YORK. June 11.-Dunn's Review
today says:
Bank exchanges continue in fairly sat
isfactory volume, the total this week
at all leading cities of the United States
aggregating $3,173. T65. $751; an increase of
IL per cent compared with the cores
ponding week last year. and of 3O4 per
cent compared with the same week in
1906.
New York city and several other CEN
ters report small losses in comparison
with year ago. but the large gains at
other cities result in a total increase for
all cities reporting. Compared with 1906,
nearly all cities make increased returns.
and at Philadelphia. Pittsburg. Cleveland.
Minneapolis, Kansas City and San Fran
cisco there are pronounced gains over all
earlier corresponding periods. 1t also
may be noted that the average daily
bank exchanges for the month to date,
which more clearly reflect conditions.
are much larger than in either year with
which comparison is made.

act be transferred to the District and
place aforesaid" In line with the legal
condition from the beginning has been
the movement, now fully successful, to
make as a fact the National Capital and
the District synonymous and identical,
for instance, by consolidating George
town and Washington. by extending the
same laws over Washington and George
town and the county. and by treating the
city as including the entire District, first
in local and later in national censuses.
Obviously it is ridiculous and unjust to
discriminate between the people in the
different sections of the federal District
and to say to one contributor to a COM
mon fund: You may not enjoy the bene-
fit of expenditures from that fund on the
same basis of treatment as your fellow
contributors because you live on one
side of an ina ginary line within the fed
eral District while they live on the other"
Street Extension on National, Not
Local, Lines.
The bills to extend and improve separate
streets entirely at the local expense pro-
pose substantially the reproduction in
the county of the street plan of the orig
inal city. The avenues seeking extension
propose to suffer no material contraction,
and if all are carried through the belt OF
suburban subdivisions and connected with
the street plan provided by the amended
highway act the scheme of streets of the
new Washington, while occupying
somewhat smaller percentage of area in
thoroughfares, will be on the same broad
scale as that of the original city.
But the plan of Washington as con-
ceiyed by our forefathers was on ma
tional, not a local scale, the broad streets,
avenues and alleys occupying more than
One-haIf the entire area. The scheme
would have been absurd for self-sup-
porting. self-developing Maryland village
of that day. It's extension at this time to
adjacent territory is equally absurd. as
we'll as grossly unjust and unbearably OPP
pressive, unless the nation stands in the
same relation to the extended as to the
original plan and in the same relation to
the enlarged as to the original city. The
nation should not inconsistently say to
suburban Washington: You are to be
part of the capital in plan, but not in
any other respect. You are to be COM
PEELED to dedicate. open and improve
streets and avenues on national scale.
but exclusively at local expense. While
making you an integral part of the CAPT.
tai in street system, you are repudiated
as a part of that capital under the or
ganic act of 1873
