THE MONETARY
COMMISSION
WILL ENoEAvoR TO EFFECT
PLANS FOR THE REFORM OF
THE CURRENCY.
WORK NOT PARTISAN
OPINIONS OF PUBLIC GENERALLY
AND OF FINANcIERs PARTIc-
uLARLY TO BE SOUGHT.

Neutrality-suspicious. for the reform
OF the currency will be prosecuted
with vigor by members of the Nation
al Monetary commission this summer
A campaign of education will be
started in behalf of bill which prob
ably will be introduced to both
branches of Congress in December.
Thus far the work OF the commits
sion has not been regarded as politi-
cal, and especial care will be taken
to avoid the introduction of partisan
views in the campaign. A majority
OF the members who have been work.
ing on proposed legislation are not
now members of Congress, and most
of them are regarded as out of poll
tics. This is particularly true of the
chairman, former Senator Aldrich OF
Rhode Island, who is expected to de-
vote much time to the work in the
coming year.
Beginning with the hearing to be
granted the currency commission by
the American Bankers Association
March 22nd. the commission members
will be actively engaged in obtaining
views of the public. 1t is not con-
templated there will be many hearings
IN Washington, but that several MEM
bers Of the commission shall visit the
large cities to ascertain the views of
the public. The most extensive tour
will be made by Mr.. Aldrich, the
author of the bill, which is expected
to form the basis Of any legislation at
tempted. With one or two other men,
bers, he probably will visit the South
and West.
General approval seems to have
been given to the Aldrich bill by the
public. Bankers seem to regard 1t as
in the nature of a legalization OF the
clearing house methods employed In
time of panic. These methods for the
most part have proven efficacious.
Members of the commission are by
no means committed to the Aldrich
bill. 1t was brought out by Mr.. Aid
rich chiefly to give the country some
thing tangible to work upon.
The views of the bankers are being
sought, and. until they are received.
1t is not likely that individual mem
bers of the commission will put them
selves on record.
Many useful suggestions are ~ex-
pected from the currency committee OF
the American Bankers Association,
and, through the ideals thus advanced,
the commission expects to avoid many
vicissitudes which the proposed legis-
lation otherwise would encounter in
Congress.

around came to see John Spriggs' fne
rig and everybody west OF the Allie
gheny mountains knew John Spriggs
was the owner Of the finest rig in
the country.
One of the famous trips made by
the carriage was when the Spriggs
family, consisting of John. his wife
and two children, started out from
Cincinnati for long trip to Philadel-
phia in this new carriage. Two hors-
es were hitched to the combination
shaft and enough provisions for a
month were packed in the little bear
skin covered trunk fastened to the
back of the carriage. 1t took all of
two weeks to go from Cincinnati to
Philadelphia and ten days to come
back. The carriage stood the trip
we'll. 1t made other trips Just as
we'll and is yet good rig though
somewhat out OF date. The present
owner, pictured seated In 1t, came In
to its possession by Inheritance, and
occasionally takes 1t out for run
but 1t is valued mostly now as an heir
loom.

The House disposed of the resolu-
tion calling for an adjournment sine
die on March 81, voting 1t down Sec
ond time.
Senator Carpenter introduced bill
revising or amending the fee system
in the state engineers office. At pres
ent the filing fee for map or plat
of a ditch, flume, canal or reservoir
is but 50. The work of checking these
maps and plats is technical in charac-
ter, sometimes entailing survey by
a corps of engineers; and this re-
ouires expense, for which there is no
return. The Carpenter bill provides
system of grading the extent of irri-
CATION and power site appropriations
according to their value and of fixing
the fees for the filing of maps and sur
veys accordingly.
Gov. Shafroth, assisted by State
Treasurer Roady Kenehan and State
Engineer C. w. Comstock, held a ses-
sion with the Senate committees on
finance and agriculture and irrigation
and the House committee on appro-
priations in his office for the purpose
of including those committees to in
crease the appropriations for Com
stocks office matter of $2S,OOO for
the biennial period and of passing GER
tain bills which might, in the end, en-
able the engineers office to collect
sufficient fees with which to support
the office.
Another Carpenter bill fixes the sal
ary of state engineer at $4,000 per year
and gives him one deputy at $2.500 per
year and two assistants at $1,S00 a
year. Thees men must be both civil
and hydraulic engineers.
