]. ]. HILL DISCUSSES NATIONS FINANCES Appears Before Monetary
 Commission ENOUGH MONEY NOW National Reserve Association Should Be Permitted to Make Loans to Member Banks on Railroad
 Bonds as Security
ENOUGH MONEY NOW

st. Paul. October 2l.-J. J. Hill ap- peared unexpectedly before the monetary commission late this afternoon to give his opinion on financial plan for the country
 He discussed the entire financial sit uation and at one point took issue with members of the committee as to what should he held to be a lawful secur- ity.
 MT. Hin suggested that for the pur- rose of borrowing money first class bonds and industrial securities should be rec ognized as proper security for loans by banks. Members of the committee sug- gested that good notes as now legalized should be included in the plan Mir. Hill cited an instance during recent stringeney when he wanted to borrow money. When the banks were refusing loans on notes which would at other security, he went 10 New York with a ict of railroad bonds and borrowed what money he wanted.
 Mr Hill said among other things he was opposed to a further imitation of money.
 We have got enough money in the country now. What we want is con fdence. When the people have confi- Gence the business of the country goes ahead In brief Mr. Hill advocated a modification in the plan for the organ izG tion of the central reserve association which is under consideration with an authorized capital stock increased from $300,000Oe0 10 S5,000,000. Each bank hold ing stock in the association should have only one vote and no vote for stock ownership. that there should be no gov e1nment directors on the national board
 He said that the National Reserve as sociation should be permitted to make loans to member banks on security con sisting of first class bonds of railroads nd first class industrial corporation bonds.
 He also advocated that the reserve association should pay the government interest on government deposits and that notes of the association should not be taxed except after they had been in circulation for 50 or 90 days.
 Congressman Bonyge asked MT. Hill: With such notifications and changes i1 the plan that the commission had un- Ger consideration as you have suggested, you would then favor the organization of q Central Reserve association?"
 "Unqualihedly, replied MT. Hill Ut is necessary and the country cannot post pone it safely for any length of time" :"
 A B. Stckney, former president of the Chicago Great Western railway told the committee without qualification that he considered the present banking system wrong.

FOLLOW UP WORK
 STARTS TODAY.

In many of the churches of the city this morning between the hours of 8 and o'clock the follow-up work of the religious census taken two weeks ago to- day will begin with a home visitation by all the adult and senior classes and volunteers to those people who expressed preference for particular church, and all those who did not but reside in the vicinity of a particular church. The Bir- mingham Sunday School association has distributed a suggested outline of follow up methods which will be employed by many of the churches. The largest con- gregations will defer their visitations un- iii the week days, as their record cards show so many to be seen that one hour would not be sufficient time.

PRESBYTERY TO MEET

Bessemer, october 21.-lSpecial. 1-Much interest is being manifested ill this city in the question to be submitted 10 the voters on November ? as to whether the city shall exercise its option to buy the water works plant in July, 1912 The first opportunity the city can have to buy the water works on an arbitrated basis will be in July, 1912, but in order to do so at that time must notify the of it's intention to purchase. This is pro- vided in the contract
 It was upon the urgent recommends ton of Alderman La Rue that the eoun- cil ordered an election to be held on Monday November ?. The council then placed the whole matter in the hands of the water works committee with full au- thority to hold the election and ascer- tain the will of the people. This com mittee is composed of j. A. La Rue, chairman; J. N. Porter and J. r. Crot- we'll
 Chairman La Rue today made the fol- lowing statement concerning the mat ter: T believe this election should be held and the voters given an opportu- hty to say what they want to do about the purchase of the water works, for the reason that the question involved is too big for the council to assume the authority to take action. If we notify the company that we intend to exercise the right of purchase in July, next, as provided iii the contract, and then for any reason fail to complete the pur- chase, we shall thereby forfeit our right to buy it at any future time during the life of the contract that is, until the year 1934, when the present contract and franchise expires.
 Personally l believe we should buy the plant if we can get it at the right price and l believe, too, that now Is the time to buy It. While there is, of course room for difference of opinion as to the wisdom of buying it at all, l be- neve We are all agreed that if it is to be purchased it should be done in July next, and we shall have to pay much more for it than now. By buying it now the. city will get the benefit of the increased earnings arising from the growth of population and this increase of it's earning power will go far toward paying off the bonds covering the pur- chase price.
 The election will be conducted in ac- oordance with the rules provided in the general election laws of the state, the polls being open from s o'clock to 6 o'clock Full opportunity will be given to every qualified voter of the city to express his choice and when the result is known every member of the board can feel himself to be on safe ground and free to go ahead and do the people S bidding'

One of the interesting features of the mission is the "question box" At the door Of the church a box is placed and into 1t all are cordially invited to de- pcsit written difficulties and objections. 1t is not necessary to sign ones name. All that is required is a clear statement ot the difficulty or a straight question concerning Catholic faith or practice, but under no condition will questions having reference to other creeds or churches. or that might be apt to injure the feelings of any particular nearer, be answered or even mentioned. If there is anything that has characterized the Paulist work in this line, it is their scrupulous regard for charity and good feeling

Paulist Methods

The Paulists have introduced a new feature into mission methods, which con sists in the giving of lectures eXplan- atorY of the Catholic faith and practice, for the benefit of those who may be Gesiroas of learning what the church believe and teaches
 The Paulist fathers take as a basis the supposition that if there is antag thlsm to the Catholic faith 1t does not arise from i'll will on the part of those who are outside the church. but from the misunderstanding and misconception ol her teachings: that if their is prej- udice against the church it is not a cal culated and self willed prejudice, but proceeds rather from want of a clear knowledge of her claims. Animated by this charitable spirit they do not invite and seek controversy. but simply ex- pose what Catholics believe, and why they believe 1t.
 For this reason the lectures are not accompanied by exhortations, as is done in tie Catholic missions, but are simply all exposition of the Catholic faith; all being left finally to the impartial judg- ment of the nearer. The subjects are not chosen at random but form a con- rected and logical series every succeed ing claim depending on the assumption that the previous one has been proven sound and true. The audience is not presumed to be presently desirous of be- coming Catholic, but simply of knowing what Catholics believe. and what ra- tional, scriptural or historical basis they have for their belief
