CURRENCY PROBLEM

Final Work In Presenting
!, Central Bank Plan to Con-

. Final work in the task of presenting
to Congress the Aldrich central bank
I Plan will be begun In Washington to-
morrow, at a meeting to be held by the
National Monetary Commission. Three
yenrs have been devoted by the commits
sion to an investigation of the problem
= Of currency reform, and tons of litera.
tture, compiled at great expense by
I. financial experts of the world, have
been circulated for the enlightenment
OF the common people. ~
7 Now the commiss ion will proceed
with tho preparation of a report to
l Congress. 1t also will draft a bill cover
ing the features of the Aldrich plan,
which will he introduced in Congr.cs
l and will present the subject in practical
! form for the consideration of the states
men,. 1t Is expected sIbcommittees or.
various divisions of the report and the
/: writing Of the bill will be appointed at
! tomorrow's session Congress ordered
i the commission to report by January
t6, but the prospects are II will be de-
I. lvered before that time.
!. Measure Opposed. I'd.
2 Nobody believes the bill will be
passed at the next session Of Congress.
Strong opposition to the measure will
be based largely on the belief that
Aldrichs leadership in the enterprise
rs sign that it will, If passed, be
t. chiefly In the interest Of the money
. power In New York. Deep protests also
will be made by the populace against
the notion of the surrender by the Gov.
ernment to the bankers OF the privilege
OF issuing currency:
% A feature Of the bill that will bc en-
phs sized by its supporters is the fact
that 1t would enable a farmer in the
far West to borrow money from the
tanks at the same rate charges in Wall
Street to a New York millionaire. 1t
will be provided that rates for loans
shsll bs the same in al! parts Of the
}coGntry.
"1he plan, perhaps with certain
changes, will surely be passed at some
time" was the confident declaration Of
q member of the commission. Some
3 delay must be expected because of a
I large public sentiment always dis
played when q change has been sug-
"gested In the financial system Of tho

Judge Grain had overruled an objec-

It is quite generally agreed here
that the chances favor the election
Of Republican senators in New Mexi-
co. But there is some doubt about
the outcome In Arizona. Arizona is
nominally Democratic. Although now
represented in congress by q Repub-
lican, Arizona has invariably sent
Democratic delegates to Washington.
The Democrats are confident OF win
ming this year.
However, word has been received
here that the Republicans Of Arisona
intend to put up stir fight to turn
the new state into the Republican
column. This years election prob
ably will determine to some extent
whether the new states shall cast
can or the Democratic candidate In
the presidential election OF 1919. The
leaders of both parties are alive to
the situation.

Territories have usually been grate-

Mexico statehood act was approved

give the party prestige in the elec-
tons soon to be held in Arizona and

Almost uniformly. upon admission
to the union, new states have align
ed themselves with the party whose
representative in the white house ap-
proved the act of admission. Okla
homa was an exception. Although
