BANKERS APPROVE
THE ALDRICH PLAN
So Far the State Banks Have No Place
In the Monetary Reform
Scheme.

WASHINGTON. March 27.-The cur
5ency committee OF the American Bank
ers association. representing 1900 OF the
1000 banks Of this country. unanimous
ly approved the Aldrich plan OF monetary
reform today.
Former Senator Aldrich had invited the
currency committee TO confer with the
national monetary commission. but the
bankers held a preliminary meeting TO
determine their course.
They will offer some slight modifica-
tions In the technical detail OF the
AIdrich plan. but they approve OF the
principal features and Will suggest the
adoption OF the Aldrich scheme by the
national monetary commission.
At tire meeting there was no discussion
Of the part the state banks would play
In monetary reform. the session being
devoted entirely 10 an examination OF
the features OF the Aldrich plan. Some
OF the bankers admitted that an I'm

the method by which state banks could

LONG AND SHORT HAUL
QUESTION is UP AGAIN
Attack Made on constltut:onalty Of the
Fourth Section OF Interstate
Commerce Act.

WASHINGTON. March 27-An attack
on the constitutionality OF the fourth
section Of the interstate commerce act
the long and short haul provision-was
made today before the commission in
the consideration Of the inter Rocky
mountain rate cnses,
Attorneys for the railroads maintained
that the provision was unconstitutional,
and, curiously enough counsel for some
Of the cities affected. Spokane. Wash
and Reno. New, followed with a decla ra :
ton that that part of the section which
confers upon the commission authority
In special cases, to permit a lower
freight charge for a longer haul In the
same direction and over the same route
was unconstitutional
Attorneys for the shippers asserted
that II the commission did not Issue an
order providing that the charge for a
longer haul should be greater than for
any shorter haul. they would carry the
matter TO congress and Insist upon the
enactment OF provision that would
give the commission no retionary
powers in the matter.
The commission. as a purely admins
trative body. has no power 10 pass upon
the constitutionalitv OF any part of the
act. II simply enforces the law as II
finds II on the statute books. leaving to
the courts the determination of any CON
stituuonl question that may arise.
