After having squandered hundreds
of thousands of dollars of the peo
pies money, and having held mocl
investigations at Narragansett Pier
and other fashionable watering re
sorts, the commission is now really
busy.
What Will the commiss on recon-
mend? This Is question that is
now on the eve of the submission OF
its report to congress, being asked
in many quarters.
There is such strong opposition to
a central government bank, which
lit is declared would place the con-
troll of our currency system more

even If it ever was SO regarded. A
study of its personel, which reveals
that it IS made up of men who by no

expected to know anything about fl
nance, has convinced the members
OF congress that the My thing to do
is 10 dissolve the commission and
forget it.
iMoreover, Il is clearly patent to
those who have observed the working
OF the commission that it is one
man affair Members of congress
realize now that the appointment of
the commission was merely another
way of employing Mr.. Aldrich to
frame up scheme to turn control
OF the money fthe country oyer to
