FINANCESOF
IHECOUNTRY
DISCUSSED BY PROMINENT Men
FAMILIAR WITH BANKING.
ALDRICH PLAN. ENDORSED
Mr.. BROWNS ADDRESS

New Orleans, Nov. 23--Finance has
been ably discussed at the Bankers
convention here this week and it
seems thee is an evident desire on
the part of the members to pull this
country out of the rut whenever
public confidence is disturbed and
the people panic stricken withdraw
their funds from the moneyed insti-
tutions.
There is an impression prevailing
among many that if the government
would inaugurate some scheme to
maintain the confidence of the peo-
pie by guaranteeing their deposits
this plan would even prove more ef-
fective than the Aldrich plan, since
it a recognized fact that panics are
brought about by the withdrawal OF
deposits, which prevent the bankers
from maintaining their reserves at
crucial moments. This effort to main
tain their reserves in face of the
withdrawal of deposits brings about
a fight for life, which results in
death struggle when the bankers
should be coming to the assistance
of one another. Again this protec-
ton of the deposits will prevent the
manipulation of the finances by
Wall street who control large sums
of money and desiring to scoop
competitor as was done when the
Steel trust absorbed Va. Tenn. Coal
and Iron, will be rendered impossi-
bIe If the depositors had felt pro-
tected, it would have been impossi-
BILE to have brought about the panic
of 1907.
The address of Mr.. Joseph G..
Brown of Raleigh, has attracted
much attention. He plead for the far
mer since s@he1 prosperity of the far
mer is the backbone of the resources
of the nation. He showed that the
finances of the nation should be SO
elastic that when the crops begin to
move there should be ample money TO
move them, and that the old time
methods of finance must give way to
modern methods of expansion in the
development of the business of the
greatest nation on earth.
There were other speakers who
called attention to the difference be-
tween the monetary systems obtain
ing abroad and in this country, how
LudL Dy IHeIF system wren ihohoy
became tight in certain sections of the
strong European nations it was sent
to this locality to ease up matters
This is the plan of the Aldrich none
tary commission With the most pros
porous country in the world the cir
culation should be arranged so that
the money, the commercial life blood
may be sent instantly where it is re
quired, and that every bank in the
nation on a sound business basis may
be amply supplied with funds to dis
charge its obligations to its people.

Bill Introducd in House Yes terday Fixing Population

KILLS INVESTIGATION
House Opposed Idea of Looking Into Conditions at the Asylum
 For the Insane.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. PA bill was introduced in the House today by Mir. Mum prohibiting the issuance of liquor license in the State of ..rk- ansas under any circumstances except in towns and cities of ,000 population or over, and in which there is an es- tablished city government with at least a mayor and city marshal. Kill Investigation Resolution.
 The House was somewhat in the rejecting mood this morning, both as to bills and resolutions. It rejected a resolution offered by Mr. Neale of Perry county in which he called for the appointment of joint committee to investigate the conditions of the state asylum for the insane, with a view to determining what furiher provision is necessary to care for all the insane persons in the state Objection was made to the resoll- ton on the ground that committee is already looking into this matter Mr. Neale replied that this committee had consumed forty days in it's in- vtsti2aticn and had made no repnrt He thought the exigencies of the oc. casion demanded immediate report ''If the committee says build an an- nex to the present building, let Us build it. said he, and if it suggests instead the establishment of branch asylum, let us dispose of the matter by following that recommendation Ky all means, let us provide for the insane not now cared for by tho state"
 1 The House decided, however, that the present committee is ample and that it will make proper recommanda- tions in due time, hence the res'olu- ton was voted down.
 After some debate this morning the House postponed further considera- tion of the old State Capitol matt.H i in all it's phases until Thursday ' llotNtuS dIleT llle 0lOIOluS 0ONf, when the final and what promises D be one of the most impassioned de- bates of the present session will con- clude the discussion on the H2rda ge amendment to the Clarke-Meador bill for the preservation of the old State house.
 This debate should have been re- sumed this morning, with Mr. Hurst of Washington on the floor speaking against the submission amendment but it appeared that both advocates and opponents of the amendment
 preferred to postpone consideration flor the day, as it was suggested that adjournment would be taken at noon out Of respect to the memory ot Washington. This will allow the df- bate to come up tomorrow morning instead, when the entire day will ''prdtably be consumed in the conclud-
 ing speeches.
