Wilson Submits MESSAGE.

Sweeping reforms In legislation

or too radical reform" the governor
says, '"but merely the tasks that are
evident and pressing" are urged in
Wilson's message.
Striking utterances and recommen-
dations of the governor are as fol-
lows:
Corporations are organizations
which have for the time being slip
ped out of the control of the very law
that gave them leave to be and that
can make or unmake them at pleas

to control them, soberly but effect
lively. and To bring them thoroughly
within the regulation OF the law.
Our law with regarGs to the rela-
tions of employer and employe were
framed for another age which nobody
now living remembers. New rules
must be devised for their (employes)
protection. for their compensation
when injured, for their support when
disabled.

Is Opposed to Establishment OF
Central Bank, Declaring 1t
Would Not Meet Needs
of Situation
RESERVE ASSN. IS PROPOSED
Would Consist Of Federation Of Local
Associations Formed by National
Banks. Fifteen Districts
Are Suggested.

washington, ID. c., Jan. 17.-Senator
Aldrich's long awaited ''plan for revi-
sion of national banking legislation"
as he himself calls 1t, was made public
today II does not contemplate the es-
tablishment of a central bank. In fact
Aldrich expressly disclaims belief in
central bank as calculated to meet the
needs of the situation. Instead Aldrich
proposes the establishment of a Re
serve Association of America" repre-
senting what might be called feder-
alton OF local associations formed by
national banks
Those in the confidence Of Aldrich
draw particular attention TO the pains
which they said he had taken TO pro-
vide against the control OF the asso-
citation by anybody. on this point, in
his letter TO the monetary commission,
he says himself he believes the asso-
citation organized as he proposes could
not be controlled by ambitious none
tary interests, or dominated by poll
tical influence"
He proposes to divide the United
states into nfteen nnanclal ulslTlclS,
with branch ASSOCIATION in each.
These branches would elect directors
Of the association proper. The COVER
nor and deputy governor of the assn-
citation would be appointed by the
president of the United States. The
association would be the principal fis-
cal agent and depository of the gov
ernment, fix the rate OF exchange or
discount, and eventually its notes
would replace those of the national
bank
The plan contemplates also. two new
classes OF national banks, or depart
ments Of banks, TO receive savings and
make loans upon real estate and also
10 be i'm effect national trust compa-
nies. National banks would be per-
mitted to form branches only in their
own immediate community and they
could also be organized for business in
foreign countries. A system of mutual
support, by which the associations
members would meet currency emerg-
encies is detailed at length.
