POWERS or PRIVILEGE
BEG SUPREME COURT

While the people of different States
are adopting the Initiative and Refer
endum. one after another, suit is
being pushed before the Supreme
Court Of the United States in which
that body is asked to declare these
measures contrary to the provision OF
the federal constitution guaranteeing
to each State a republican form of
government. The corporation judges
appointed by President Taft will de-
termine whether they ought to dis
tort the meaning Of some words, ut
tered by men who have long ago
died, into a prohibition of popular
rule in States where an overwhelm-
ing majority of people now living
have decided to assume control of
BY assuming to interpret
the words of some dead men, five of
the nine judges of the Supreme Court
arrogate to themselves more power
than is possessed by overwhelming
popular majorities in Oregon, Cali
fornia, Colorado. Missouri, Oklahoma,
Arizona, Maine and other States that
have declared in favor of the lnitia-
tive and Referendum. AS long as five
men, not elected, but appointed for
IlifeA to the positions they hold, have
the power to prohibit, under any pre-
text whatever, the carrying out of the
popular will, then these five men. not
the people, are the rulers of the
country. Many have not yet realized
the peril involved in the assumption
by the Supreme Court of power to
nullify legislation enacted not only by
legislative assemblies but by the
vote of the people themselves. The
situation that now confronts US in
regard to the Initiative and Refer
endum ought to open their eyes. If
it does there will soon be an end to
the despotic power of these five men.

P. ]. ROCHE TEL[SO OF
BOOKnAK|MG SLIP
Explains How Police Caught
Him With Betting
Evidence.

Cross-examination by the Government
of Phillip ]. Roche. charged with book
making, Will form the next stage in this
trial when 1t is resumed Monday morn
ing. Roche was on the witness stand
when court took a recess yesterday
afternoon.
Roche denied the charges against him.
He said that Joshua C. Jubb, the prin-
cipal witness for the detectives, left the
slip that has figured In the trail on the
bar beside an empty beer glass, and
that he picked 1t up to examine It just
as the officers entered. "
The detectives testified they took the
slip and two one-dollar bills, the num-
bers Of which had been taken by De-
tective Howes before they were given to
Jubb to place In bets, from his hand.
Roche said that just after he was
placed under arrest in a saloon his
little daughter called up to ask him
when he would take her to ride, and
that the detective who answered the
telephone blcntly told her to call up
the Jail the next day II she wished to
speak to her father. Throughout the
proceedings Roche told his story dra-
maticaly.
The courtroom was crowded, and
among the spectators were several men
who heard their names mentioned as
suspected bookmakers.
Counsel for the defense closely ques-
toned Jubb. the Government witness,
as to whether he had been promised
immunity from prosecution on accoun-
of his aid to the Government In giving
evidence in the alleged bookmaIing
cases. Jubb denied that that such prom
ises had been made.

of banking and monetary matters.
Many others did not.
New Order of Things.
Every bond of the United States now
outstanding has the circulation privi-
lege. The new per cent Panama canal
bonds will be the only exception. Their
issue is the beginning Of new order
of things, in which Government bonds
will be put out with a sufficient rate Of
interest TO make them attractive to the
ordinary everyday citizen VINO mas
money to invest and doesn't care to
intrust II to the tender mercy OF the
vicissitudes OF business.
II Is the expectation among big hnan-
ciers and among the men best 1ntormea
on financial matters that the last bond
of the United States bearing the clrcu-
lation privilege has been issued. 1t Is
felt that a new order of things Is close
at hand and that in the next few years,
Congress Is going to provide for some
form of a central banking institution. a
great bank of issue, a system wherein
the issue of notes will be not on the Sc
curity of Government bonds, but against
the general assets of the institution that
issues them.
When such a system is adopted, then
all Government bonds will have to be in
Vestment bonds, pure and simple. The
new Panama bonds are a step in this
direction.
Problem to Be Solved.
What is to be done with the more than
s7oO 100000 of outstanding per cent
bonds which are now for the most part
held by banks as security for circulation
is a problem that remains yet to be
solved in case there is comprehensive
currency reform.
1t may be they will he converted into
investment bonds at a higher rate Of
interest. For awhile there was talk of
these bonds going below par. The dan
ger of such thing no longer exists, for.
with the Government policy now
changed to the issue of bonds without
the circulation privilege, bonds having
the circulation privilege will command
sitter rates. Banks are expected to
seek the bonds with the circulation priv
iIege and this will help the market for
the per cents. The tendency will be.
on the part Of banks, to increase circu-
lation.
1t will bc interesting to see what price
is commanded by the per cent Panama
bonds having no privilege for use as Sc
curity for circulation. That they will
90 at least per cent above par and
perhaps higher seems certain.

FIRST STEP FOR
BANKING REFORM
Central Bank Where Issue Will Be For Investment
Only, Presaged- Treasury to Offer $5O,O0O,O0O
Worth of Bonds Without Circulation Privilege
BY JOHN SNURE.

For the first time since the enactment
of the national banking law nearly a
half century ago, the Treasury De-
partment is about to issue Government
bonds which do not have the circula-
ton privilege attached to them. By the
circulation privilege, as 1t is called, Is
menat the privilege of the use of Gov
ernment bonds by national banks as
security for the issue of bank notes,
which circulate as money.
Secretary MacVeagh in a compara-
lively short time, not later it is thought
than June 1, and, perhaps, much earlier,
will obtain bids on an issue of Panama
canal bonds bearing per cent interest.
He is expected to offer $50, 900 900 of these
bonds for sale. They will have to be
used for investment purposes, since no
bank can take, any of them and put
them up with the Treasury Department
as security for circulation. II a bank
buys them, about the only use 1t can
make of them is to resell them to pri-
vate parties who are looking for Gov
ernment bonds. II money Is easy and
hard to loan, 1t may be some of the
banks. will hold them for investment
purposes, but probably this will be
done in only few instances.
As Good As Gold.
What is expected is that the common
people of the United States, the ordi
nary folks with a small amount of
money In their jeans or in old socks or in
savings banks, perhaps in postal saw
ings banks, will buy these bonds and
simply hold to them because they will
be the best security in the world and
Will be easily convertible into cash.
They will draw a moderate rate of in
terest and will be as good as gold
any day IN the year. 1t Is probably
true that II Uncle Sam wanted TO issue
ten times as many Of these bonds as he
proposes to, he could find market
for them amopg the people and never
cause a ripple.
This Forthcoming sale OF per cent
bonds, without the privilege of their
being used by the banks as security for
Is one of the most imper-
tant financial departures that has been
made for many years by the Govern
ment.
Few Saw Real Meaning.
The momentous nature of it has been
but little understood. Its significance
was but dimly perceived by Congress
when it enacted the legislation that per-
mitted the issue of these bonds without
the circulation privilege. Certain astute
gentlemen saw what was happening.
But the camp followers didn't
What happened when Congress passed
the measure for an issue of bonds that
would be purely investment bonds was

The door was being opened wide for
a central bank or for some kindred

which bonds would no longer be used as
security for circulation. Senator AldriCh
