on the general service pension
bill reached an agreement today
ON the basis of the senate bill

ham and Gore and Representa-
tives Sherwood, Adair and Sull-
oway. Messrs. Gore and Sullo-
way refused to sign the report,
the former on the ground that
the senate was conceding too
much and the latter because it
does not concede enough.
The increases grant $18 a
month to soldiers &c years old
who served two and a half years
and SO to those who served
three years. Those 20 years old
who served one and one-half
years get $21.50; two years, $23;

That scarcity of cash which
precedes a panic is due to the
practice of the money pirates of
boarding their wealth, calling
in loans and otherwise checking
circulation. The banks, under
their present system, tighten
their hold on reserves and this
completes a paralysis of bust
ness. It is to prevent a repeti-
ton of the panic of 1907, aggra-
waited by just such tendency to
hoard, that the crusade for bank
ing reform is Inspired and is
advocated by all classes of citi-
zens. Leading in the revolt for
a sounder banking system is the
