cording to the statement made by
Edward d. Page, prominent mem
Der of the Merchants Association

promotion of sound banking and

criticism Of James ]. Hill at an or
ganization uniting all the banks OF
the country with power to issue
bank notes and to rediscount the
paper held by them would be in
danger of falling under the control
OF the big financial interests. Aside
from the fact that two billion dollars
is very tidy sum for any one man OF

The opening of the new seaport of Stockton

being 722, 100 tons. The coal receipts were
