TALKS MONEY
Declares Panics Can Only Be Avert
ed By Currency Reform and Urges
Prompt Action. Ill.
TELLS OF CRISIS HERE IN 1907

New York, Dec. 20.-(Special)-
Governor Eberhart, when interview
ed upon the subject of banking and
currency reform on the occasion of
the Western Governors recent trip
to the East, said that Minnesota was
heartily in favor of banking and cur
rency reform. He criticised the plan
of the National Monetary Commis-
sion in some of it's details, but said
that, in his opinion, it's basic prin-
ciples were sound and good. It must
be carefully safe-guarded, however,
against political and financial con-
troll.
-"In the panic of 1907" said he,
"our Western banks broke down
through no fault of their own. We
needed big amount of money out
West to harvest and move our crops
and our bank statements showed that
we had this money, but as is bound
to happen under our present reserve
system, this money was in the large
financial centers. 1t was subject to
recall, but when we wanted it we
could not get it.
individually our banks were
sound, but even the strongest and
most conservative were tied up. In
the emergency a few of our leading
business men had to come forward
and help smooth over the crisis. But,
as is we'll remembered, the panic
had a severe and disastrous effect
upon our farming interests and upon
business firms and individuals.
; "We feel that such disaster must
not happen again and that we need
a banking system that will prevent
such breakdowns and depressions.
ss"What is needed is banking CO.
bNslaiion instead of the present sys-
eeffiakhasbf having each bank an indi-
vidual unit. We must have a reserve
power back of the banks which will
keep credit ample and free to pro-
mote our general development and
secure us against such crisis. Also
we need an elastic currency based
upon our agricultural, numbering,
mining, manufacturing and mercan-
tile resources as they are developed
in day to day legitimate business op-
erations.''
Other governors in the party join
ed with Governor Eberhart in urg-
ing the necessity of immediate leg
islation to stop panics.

GOVERNORS PARTY .DISBANDS
Men of Famous Train Go Home :;
Fisher Makes Big Hit.

Minneapolis, Dec. 2O.-Following
the farewell banquet at the Minneso-
ia Club Monday night, the western
governors who have been together
three weeks on their mission of ad-
vertising the west dispersed to their
homes.
Governor Norris of Montana left
for Helena yesterday. AS Governor
Hawley of Idaho left Saturday and
Governor West of Oregon Sunday, the
party is pretty we'll broken up. Gov
ernor Oddie of Nevada and Governor
Burke of North Dakota started for
home this evening.
Governor Vessey of South Dakota
and Governor Carey of Wyoming left
before the banquet. Governor Har-
mon of Ohio, brought west with the
governors special, also left early last
evening.
Walter L. Fisher, secretary of the
interior came to the Twin Cities,
saw and conquered. He returned to
Washington yesterday. He came to
meet and talk with the western gov
ernors about the vexed issues of con-
servation, and came prejudiceCMR
servation, and came prejudged as an
ultra conservationist of the Pinchot
brand to meet men who are insur-
ments against the government policy
of with drawals. He almost took them
off their feet at the start by admit
ting the present laws are entirely
wrong and must be changed before
there can be an effective land policy.
1t was soon found that many of the
differences expected to cause trouble
we're more imaginary than real.

Alderman Slated for Longer Terms
and Remuneration of Not More
Than So Meeting.
PARK BOARD OF FIVE MEMBERS
Nothing in Document Along Commis-
sion Lines and Chairman Russell
Doubts Such Change.

At the city election to be held or
February 20, the citizens of Bemidji
will vote on the new city charter
which has just been completed and
made ready for publication, by a
commission of Is appointed last May
by Judge Stanton.
This commission, under the direc-
tion of Attorney P. J. Russell, chair
man, has been at work throughout
the summer and fall, various sub
committees making reports.
Provides Pay for Officers.
A number of changes over the old
charter are found IN the new one.
The term of office for elective officers
have been heightened; that of the
mayor, to two years instead of one,
and four years in the place of two
for that ;ef the aldermen.
Salaries for these positions of Of
fee have also been provided in the
new charter, that of the mayors not
to exceed the annual sum of 5000:
for the alderman-at-large not to ex-
ceed 500, and for the alderman, not
to exceed 50 meeting, or 500 for
the year.
Park Board of Five Men.
A park board of five members to
be appointed by the mayor is pro-
posed by the new charter, to control
the park system, and a fund is pro-
vided for this work from the city
treasury.
Instead of the previous method of
the monthly payment of S by the
business men in town, that the City
of Bemidji might enjoy band music
through the summer months, there
is to be an appropriation, not to ex-
ceed the sum of $500 for the year, to
be drawn from the park fund
Inspection of Diaries.
Provision for the inspection of
dairies and creameries have also
been made in the assignment Of this
work to the health officers in the fu-
ture.
Owing to the five mill shortage in
the Poor farm fund the taxes levied
on all taxable property of the city
have been increased, by the new in
strument, that amount.
The new charter contains nothing
in common with the commission form
of government, and Mr.. Russell is of
the opinion that there is little prob
ability Of any proposition Of this
kind being suggested for at least an
other year owing to the ia that the
people of Bemidji, he says, are un-
familiar with such government.
Must Pass By Three-Fourths.
In order to make the new charter
effective it must be passed at the
coming city election by three
fourths majority.
The men who served on the char
ter commission are:
