PANIC BREEDING.
OUR FINANCIAL
SYSTEM|S CALLED
Secretary MacVeagh Asks Con-
gress to Break Party Lines
and Make Real Reforms.

WASHINGTON. Dec. s.-Currency re-
form, extension of the scope Of the ma
tional banking avs in the event Of no
immediate general change of the none
tary system, civil service retirements, a
customs service free from practical
politics, ~businesslike methods In the
daily transactions Of the Government
and n general abolition of red tape
wherever 1t clogs the wheels of the
Governments business, are among the
recommendations contained In the an
nual report OF Franklin Macveash. Sec
rotary OF the Treasury, presented to
Congress to-day.
The expenses CT government in the
fiscal year 1912, for which this session
OF Congress is asked to appropriate. are
estimated at $3.50. 49+, 0lS. IL. The estimated
expenditures on the Panama Canal are
given as $50, 900, s47.s9, making a total Of
s6s7. IA, s6o.s1. The estimates. II carried
out, represent net savings OF about
SIS. 900. 900 in the executive departments
as compared with the appropriations
for the current fiscal year.
Receipts for 1912. Secretary MacVeagh
estimates, will be $3.50. 0O0. 900. which
would cave an ordinary surplus of
around $50. 0 1900. II h Treasury
should continue to pay for the Panama
Canal out of the cash drawer. as at
present. lei a surplus would be turned
to a deficit OF 81 l4. s60.sl.
Secretary MacVeagh expresses the
hope that the monetary question will
come into Congress detached from Sec
tionai or political consideration.
"Our system car fairly be called a
panic breeding system" he says,
whereas. every other great national
banking and currency system Is panic
preventing. As long as we continue
under our present system we are liable
to panics, and the devastations OF panics
reach Republicans and Democrats and
all parts Of the country alike. Panics
are no longer necessary and no longer
respectable. It Is for the Government
to say whether we shah have panics in
the future or not. II Is a mere matter
Of choice.

banking system destroys them. 1t con-
