ALDRICH PLAN 4
IS MADE PUBLIC
Senator Would Revise Our
Monetary System.
CENTRAL BANK NOT ASKED

Reserve Association Composed of Ma
tionaI Banks the Principal Feature
Of the Proposed systcm-Country to
Be Divided Into Fifteen Districts,
With Branch Of the Association in
Each District.
Washington, Jan. 1S.-Senator Mel
son w. Aldrich's long awaited plan
for the revision of the national bank
ing legislation, as he himself calls it,
has been made public. 1t does not
contemplate the establishment of a
central bank. 1t is so far from what
most people have expected Mr. AL
drich to propose that to those who
have not been in his confidence it may
come as notable surprise.
The plan was submitted to the ma
tional monetary commission at a meet
ing called for the purpose, but Sen
ator Aldrich was not present. There
was suggestion almost of the tragic
In the fact that when the hour came
for the formal PRONUNCIATION of what
Senator Aldrich is known to regard as
the crowning constructive effort of his
life he was hundreds of miles away,
speeding to the South on a compul-
sorry search for health. His communi-
cation was presented to the commits
sion by the vice chairman, Represen-
tative Vreeland of New York
Far from recommending the insti-
tuition of a central bank Mr.. Aldrich
expressly disclaims belief in it.
while we have found much that
is admirable in the government banks
of Europe none of them is applicable
to our needs. Good results can, | be-
lieve, be reached without central
bank"
What Mr.. Aldrich does propose is
the establishment of the Reserve AS
sociation of America" federation of
local associations, formed by national
banks.
Aldrich Plan in Brief.
Under Senator Aldrich's plan the
country would be divided into fifteen
districts, with branch in each dis
trict, each branch to be made up Of
local associations There would be
forty-fve directors in the reserve as
sociation, three for each branch, with
six ex-officio directors, the secretary
of the treasury, the comptroller of the
currency, the secretary of commerce
and labor and the governor and two
deputy governors of the association.
The reserve association would be
the principal fiscal agent and deposit
tary of the government, would fix
rates of discount and eventually it's
notes would replace those of national
banks, which would gradually be re-
tired and not be reissued.
In addition to rights now enjoyed
national banks would be authorized TO
accept commercial paper having not
more than ninety days to run, to the
extent of one-half the capital and sur
plus Of the banks.
Two new classes of national banks
oRo provided for, one to have savings
departments and make loans on real
estate and another to exercise the
functions of trust companies.
Currency emergencies would be met

which all members Of the association
would participate.

LIGHTNING cALcULAToRS

The clerical STATS of many OF the
big insurance companies have OF late
years been considerably reduced by
the employment of mechanical cal
culators.
One of these, the invention OF a
German, is a compact little affair
resembling a music box. II may be
made to perform almost instantane-
ously the most portentous sums In
addition, subtraction, multiplication by
one or two factors, division, squaring
and cubing. It is required, for In
stance, TO multiply 531,975 by ga. The
first factor is set by touching little
knobs representing 531,975.
To multiply by the other factor you
turn handle four times, push long
slide one place and turn the handle
twice, then push the slide another
place onward and turn the handle nine
times. The long multiplication is
now done without the possibility OF
error SO far as the machine ts con-
cerned and the dial shows 491,544,9 800.
In the same mechanical way may be
done all the other arithmetical pro-
cesses. -""

CAPTAIN ROGERS SLIDE

Bald Mountain or Rogers Rock on
the west shore OF Lake George rears
It's ponderous bulk OF granite to an al
most perpendicular height of 100
feet, being matched by a similar bulk
and height on the east, half a mile
away, Here Captain Rogers and his
small army on snowshoes were de-
feated by a large army OF French
and Indians. The small remnant were
scattered through the forest at the
top OF the mountain, and a party OF
Indians tracked the marks of the
snowshoes OF the refugees. When
Rogers became aware that he was
likely to be driven over the precipice,
ne made his way to the brink, threw
his pack and accoutrements down the
slide to the lake. He then turned his
snowshoes around and. after stealing
along the edge of the hill, made his
way down the lake. picked up his
pack. reversed his snowshoes and
sped southwark to the Narrows, where
he was met by Captain Stark with re-
Inducements and provisions. The In
dams followed Rogers tracks to the
brink. where, seemingly. were two
tracks to the pTecipice. They con-
cluded that two white men had slid
down to the ice below. While gazing,
they saw a mile away the form OF
Rogers. But considering him under
the special protection of the Great
spirit, they made no further pursuit.
