in support of the proposition.
The Monetary Commission, organic

ator from Rhode Island, and dominat-

daily sessions, while banks favorable
to the scheme are bringing what
pressue they can on the members of
both parties to get them to view
the Aldrich idea favorably.
Mr.. Aldrich is known to be ex-
tremely optimistic over the prospects
Of the Inauguration of his currency
plan. The fact that his idea is look
ed upon with disfavor and alarm by
the small bankers and the people Of
the country does not discourage him.

of the opposition of the entire coun-

the same thing with the currency
plan, which he regards as the crown

statesman. But he may be disappoin'

vicious features of central govern
ment bank The United States had
one experience with a central gov
eminent bank. 1t was manned by
politicians and brought on panics and
bank failures all over the land.
One feature Of the Aldrich plan
which has been largely overlooked by
the public, but will be brought into
the spotlight when Congress starts
to discuss the subject, is so charac-
teristic Of the author that it may
discredit the whole program. 1t vir-
tually permits the central reserve as
ISOLATION to discount corporation se-
curlties. Several states permit cor
porations to issue stock for anything,
Or for no consideration at ALL
This is one of the concealed jokers
in, the Aldrich plan. To ,mislead the
public, Mr.. Aldrich proposes that
the central association as he calls it,
shall discount for banks any COM
mercial paper properly Endorsed by
the district association to which the
bank belongs. In his discussions he
mentions no other form OF discounts
than commercial paper. Then there
is this added provision, that the CEN
trail association shall discount the
direct obligation OF any bank. upon a
certificate from the district associ-
alton that the bank seeking this
discount has deposited with the asso-
citation securities satisfactory to>the
association.

QUESTIONABLE RECOMMEND.

We extract the following paragraph
from what purports to be Attorney

II also recommend that the federal
government be given the right to
bring an action against an individual
or corporation in any part of the
country without restriction as to the
place OF residence of the individual

It occurs to us that the Attorney

Congressman James NJ Graham o.
Illinois, made one Of the strongest
speeches OF the present session in de
tense Of the Sherwood bill to in
crease pensions of the old soldiers
In his speech Mr.. Graham referred
to the diminishing number Of OLE
soldiers, and pointed out that those
who still remain are in greater neet
than ever of the aid given them by
the government for their sacrifice il

and the splendid loyal service his

That law should be changed.

boys in blue gone to the front, when
they did we would new have to live

task OF tremendous responsibility,
as they had to face a foe as brave
and as gallant as ever followed a
flag or fought a battle. Our breth-
eri in the south, who once wanted
to escape from, under the fields CT the
old flag, are glad now that they did
not succeed, as they so amply dem

The Stanley steel Investigating
committee will continue it's probe Oh
the steel trust.
The efforts of Wall street to bring
the investigation to halt have
failed. 1t is uncertain now whether
the proposition of concluding the
hearings will come to a vote in the
,, House Of Representatives If the
matter does come up on the floor OF
the House, there are enough pro-
gressive democrats and progressive
republicans to beat the special in
terest servers in the House to a
standstill.
The committees agents, chief OF
whom is Robert G. Wooley, a for
mer newspaper reporter, have un-
earthed evidence which it is declar-
ed vii, show that the truths as re-
ceived rebates amounting to millions
CT dollars annually. The committee
vii, proceed to bring out this evil
dence in public hearings.
obviously, one OF the chief reasons
; why the trust desires to prevent the
committee from continuing its in
quiry is that the committee Is actu-
ally, and not theoretically inyestigat-
ing. The steel trust never was real
ly investigated before. For upwards
of six years, the bureau Of corpora
tons Of the Department OF Commerce
and Labor has pretended to have
been vigorously investigating the
United States steel corporation. Many
Of the facts which have been reveal
ed by the Stanley committee. must
have come under the bureaus obseG-
walton. Yet this gigantic monopoly,
either because of Its heavy contribu-
lions to republican campaign, funds,
or because Of its strong hold on the
National republican machine. through
it's watchfuL representatives in con-
gress, has been allowed to re
main immune from punishment
The Stanley committee, after four
months OF inquiry, uncovered the evil
dence OF the criminal operations Of
this trust, forced Commissioner Her
bert Knox Smith to make public his
report on the steel trust, and then
compelled the Taft administration to
bring an action for the dissolution Of
the steel monopoly.
The story OF the steel trust forma-
ton reads like fiction. With an
authorized capital OF a billion dollars,
and $25, 900 in cash, the trust
simply reached out and took con-
troll OF all its, leading rivals, togeth-
er with their ore properties and
transportation lines. The total cap
italization of these concerns was in
excess of 81, 400, 900, 900. and in return
there was issued for these properties,
stocks and bonds to amount of nearly
81, 200, OOO, 900, which was more than
a half billion in excess OF their act
qbal valuation. And It is upon this
excess, which simply is watered
stock, that the public, for ten years,
has been forced to pay earnings
through the medium OF prices which
the steel trust, through its monopoly,
has been able to exact.

In the Senate men like Senators Alli-

not alone through inherent ability, but
because of the continuous service which
they were and are able to render. This
is worth while remembering in the pres
ent state of the public mind, which
seems to demand constant change.
States which persist IN retiring their
