BY THEODORE {. BURTON.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2o.--The none
tary commission intends to file report
by the sth of January. The import
ance Of the problem that its members
are considering is far reaching 1t Is
universally conceded that there should
be sweeping reforms In our banking
and currency system. This is neces-
sary not 80 much for those engaged in
the banking business as for the whole
range of business and Industrial IN
dertakings.
The defects In the present laws are
clearly understood. They have been
very manifest in every time OF fnan-
cial stress, especially in the autumn
OF 1907. when cash payments We're
virtually suspended for considerable
time What is needed is to utilize the
whole strength of the banking insti-
tons of the country for the mainte-
nance OF cxsdit.
TO DO this IL is evident that COM
bined action Is necessary. The re-
serves of all the banks will have to
be made available under management
more or less centralized. On the other
hand, 1t is equally necessary that no
central institution shall have undue
control or that any clique of bankers

 From Mesa the party was driven westward. leaving here nearly an hour behind the regular schedule It was planned to go by way of the date orchard and the country into the south of Mesa but owing to the lateness of the hour this plan was considerably abbreviated.
 The party arrived in Tempe where all business houses had been closed by proclamation of the mayor. an assemblage even larger than that at Mesa had gathered at the Normal where the colonel delivered a short address. He paid glowing tribute to the schools of the Salt River val ley and touched upon his favorite theme of good government and good citizenship.

 It will be recalled that Colonel Roosevelt is sufferer from this ail- ment and no later than last fall. dur ing the time he was engaged in the New York campaign. numerous throat specialists were called in to attend him. At one time during the period of his more active career while in the presidential chair it was given out that he was losing his voice.
 The past several weeks he has been speaking daily almost continu- ously and he feared a recurrence of his old trouble, expressing to mem bers of the party at the Grand Can yon that he would have to seek med ical attendance while in the valley, Dr. Palmer was recom- mended to him.
 It is understood that the condition is not at all alarming. only that by constant speaking the throat becomes raw and inflamcd and speaking is attended by some pain. Colonel Roosevelt realized that he had possi- blV four or five hOurS of taI<iup ahead of him yet today while in Phoenix and Tempe and all next week and determined upon the course this morning.

Builders are men OF many parts,
said Mr.. Roberts. "On the one hand
they are employers, on the other. en-
ployes. They arc at once buyer and
seller, pupil and teacher, and they
have to fight all the time TO get any
profit between their transactions. The
builders business is based primarily
on competition; this cannot be elm
mated, and IL is the object OF the
builders exchanges TO elevate COM
petition and make II more honorable
and more friendly"
Mr.. Roberts paid high tribute TO
the work of Secretary Bowen, OF the
Detroit exchange, and urged the
builders To do constructive work with
their exchange and not make IL mere
ly an organization for defense. In
conclusion, he said. Every city owes
much to the builder. There Is no one

SO powerful as the influence of the
buildings in the midst OF which they
live"

there better builders than those who

Rather do they serve as a medium
