series OF messages to congress today.
This time he dealt with currency re.
form, Panama canal tolls and various
governmental questions.
On the subject of currency reform
and IN connection with the forthcoming
report to congress- OF the monetary
commission, President TAFT said It was
exceedingly fortunate that the wise
and undisputsd policy Of maintaining

banking system renders 1t at once i'm
possible to introduce central bank"
He gave his approval to the proposed
National Reserve association.
As to the management of this asso-
citation. the president said this was
mainly bankers work and the banks
could be trusted better than anybody
else to conduct it. However, he urged
that some form Of government super.
vision and ultimate control, should
prevail, and that the currency reform
should not be made political issue.
'"And also trust that the new legis-
lation will carefully and completely
protect and assure the individuality
and the independence OF eacn DanK, 10
the end that any tendency there may
ever be toward consolidation OF the
monetary and banking powers of the
nation shall be defeated" said the
president. ne,7
The immediate establishment OF a
rural parcels post was urged. The
president took the position that the
post would, not destroy the business OF
the country storekeepor. ~.

business for the benefit Of all. The

DIST DEALS IN DEATH.

the percentage of deaths caused by
tuberculosis in dusty trades is more

in the registration area of the United
