SIX INSURGENTS
BOLT THE CAUCUS
Emphatieally Declare That the Demo-
Gratis Should Be Allowed to Name
Their Own Representatives.

Washington d. c.. Jan. 20.--The
caucus Of republican members Of the

side Of the Ballinger-Pinchot investi-
cation committee and incidentally re-
iected Rainey, of Illinois. one OF the
two democrats selected by the demo-
cratic caucus last Saturday night as
the house minority representatives on
the investigating committee.
The six men selected include three
regular republicans. Mccall OF Mas

ania, and Dandy Of Michigan; one In.
sugent' republican, Madison, Of KAN
sas; and two democrats, James. Of
Kentucky, and Lloyd, of Missouri.
Rainey, Of Illinois, who. with James
was named by the democratic caucus.
was rejected. and Lloyd was named
III his stead
The caucus lasted three hours and
while characterized by considerable
aerimony, was more peaceful than
the most Of the members had ex-
peeted Even at that. there was a
bolt Of six insurgents led by Cooper
of Wisconsin, the other boilers being
Lenroot Nelson and Cary, Of Wis
cousin, and Davis, and Lindeberg Of
Minnesota.
In several speeches strong objee.
tons to both James and Rainey were
voiced the objectors claiming to ex-
press the views of Taft.
Against Rainey was cited activity
in stirring up trouble for the republl-
can administration in Panama canal
matters.
The matter win probably come up
in the house today, and 1t Is expected
that the democrats will to man vote
to repudiate the republican caucus
action.

proposed new $5OO,0O0 bank, which
will probably result in his resigna-

It is understood that the capital
stock for the new bank, which in ef-
feet will be an Oklahoma clearing
house for state banks, has already
been subscribed, the greater part of
the subscriptions having been taken
up in the state, and the minority hold
ings by eastern capitalists.
The bank is expected by its manage
ment to become a strong competitor
to national banks, which have been
thus far enjoying patronage as re.

INSURANCE MAN
ON UNIFORMITY.
Lack of Uniformity Cost From Fifteen

By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Washington, Jan. 19.--From fifteen
to twenty million dollars year is the
toll paid by the life insurance policy
holders of this country as result OF
the lack of uniformity In state insur-
ance laws and practices. according to
L. G. Fouse. This is at least five per
cent of the yearly payments to policy
holders and benehciaries, he figures
Mr.. Fouse. who is president OF the

pany of Philadelphia, made these fig
ures known today in an address before
the third annual meeting of the AS.
sociation of Life Insurance presidents
in session here, He is a member of

"The magnitude of the interests in
yolved is stupendous," said Mr.. Fouse.
Some twenty-five billion dollars of
life insurance in various forms are In
force in the United States with accu-
mulated assets Of four billion dollars
OF which three and one-half billions
are held by the legal reserve com
panies. Over one-third of the popula-

terest. Ii is exceedingly important
that waste and unnecessary taxation
be stopped while extending ample Sc
curity and protection to the interests
involved.
Some would seek to accomplish the
desired end through national laws and
supervision; others through the har-
monizing of state laws and practices
For the present we are particularly
interested in the latter. It is a fact
that cannot be controyerted that the
lack of harmony in laws and practices
has been a detriment to the business
In recent years, however, we have
been drifting towards uniformity and
harmony, and there are many who be-
lieve that the laws of the various
states can be made consistent and
homogeneous. and that It would be
better for all concerned that the bust
ness be conducted under such improv-
ed laws rather than under a eentraliz-
ed administration. Hence. If the uni
formity hoped for can be accomplish
ed there will be no need of national
laws and supervision"

Representative Oscar w. Gillespie.
of Texas, one OF the most prominent
members OF the house committee on
banking and currency. made the above
statement yesterday while discussing
the project Senator Aldrich Is cam
paigning for,
"The advocates of central banks
are not correctly representing the op-
erations OF the central banks OF lead
ing countries Of Europe and are try.
Ing to saddle on this country CEN
tral banking institution purportlng to
be modelled after those Of other coun-
tries, but in reality entirely different
from them.
"The bank Senator Aldrich is plan
ming to set Up is bank for banks,
not one with which the people of the
country ca ntransaet business, It viii
be solely bank of issue. II will not
receive deposits or make loars. In
time OF crisis, the banks which have
loaded themselves with securities win
be helped out BY an issue Of notes.
The inference has been given the
public that the idea Of the proposed
central bank in this country is to be
taken from such institutions as the
bank Of England, the Bank OF France.
and the Bank Of Germany. Now as
matter Of fact, the bank OF England is
not bankers bank It does a gener-
al banking business The same is true
of the bank OF France.
Those banks stand between the
other banks and the people When
Senator Aldrich was In England he
was told by the heads Of the leading
British banks that their principal com.
petltor was the bank Of England itself.
IN France Senator Aldrich was told
that the Bank Of France was not
bank of banks. but that il aid large
share Of its business directly with the
people Of France. When efforts were
made to get the president Of the bank
of France to say offcially that the
Bank Of France was a bankers bank.
and that the banks were it's principal
customers he refused to admit any
thing Of the kind. lie said that while
the banks did the larger share OF bust.

a highly important part Of the busi.

AS matter Of fact whore some

60 per cent with the banks and the
rest directly with the people
