bLACKMON STILL
 AFTER THAT CAMP Introduces New Resolution Bearing on the Anniston
 Maneuver Grounds
By WALTER HARPER

Washington, April 22.-(speciaD Com gressman Blackmon of Alabama has in- troduced new house joint resolution in the House by which he hopes to secure the permanent maneuver camp at Annis- ton that was turned down by the veto of the President a few weeks ago.
 The new resolution gives the Secretary of War the power to act in the matter on the information already in the hands of the department officials and which has been pronounced as satisfactory. The former resolution which was vetoed by the President simply asked for commis- sior to investigate the proposition. The President returned the resolution with out his approval with the explanation tha. an investigation and report had already been made on the site and that this report seemed to be entirely satis- factory.
 This did not discourage MT. Blackmon but rather gave him encouragement. It was a practical acceptance of the infor- nation already at hand as satisfactory.
 Following. is the full text of the new resolution introduced by MT. Blackmon:
 House joint resolution authorizing and directing the Secretary of War to accept the title of 400 acres of land at or near Anniston, in the state of Alabama; the said land having heretofore been inspect ed by Col. Stephen c. Mills, inspector general of the United States army; to acquire additional lands adjacent there to and to establish thereon a permanent maneuver camp for. the maneuvering of troops and establish and maintain there on camps of instruction for rifle and artillery ranges and for the moboization and assembling of troops from the states of Kentucky. Tennessee, Mississippi, Ala bama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina.
 "Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the Secretary of War be, and he is hereby authorized and directed to accept the ti- tie to 400 acres of land at or near Annis- ton, in the state of Alabama, when the same shall be granted by the proper au- thority of said state; the said land hav- ing heretofore been inspected by Col. stephen c. Mills, inspector general of the United States army, as shown by the report submitted by him to the war de- partment on the 18th day of January. 1912.
 'The Secretary of War is hereby furth- CT authorized and directed to acquire such other land adjacent 10 the land herein mentioned by purchase or con- demnation as may in his judgment be deemed necessary for the purposes here- inofter declared

FARWELL PRAISES ALAbAMA' PLANK Says Financial Attitude Will Be Gratifying to All
 Business Men

Chicago, April 22.-(SpeciaD .-John V. Farwell. the Chicago merchant at the head of the National Citizens league. says:
 'The action of the democratic state convention of Alabama at Montgomery this week in putting a banking reform plank in it's platform is extremely grau- flying to business men throughout thS country who have been urging the ne- cessity of a businesslike reform of our antiquated banking and currency laws on strictly non-partisan lines. The Alabama plank reads:
 We believe the honest farming, busi- ness and working classes of the country could be largely relevd from panics and consequent unemployment by a demo- cratic revision and qualification of our anticipated banking laws, which wouldl create an elastic banking system and preserve our independent banks from any dominant financial or political control
 This is surely a banking reform plank upon which men of both parties, from all sections of the country and of all occupations, can stand together The democrats of Alabama, whose leader is the Hon. oscar w. Underwood plainly realize that a non-partison revision of our banking laws is of vital importance to American business, and they have tersely stated the results that must bA obtained:
 '1. Relief from financial crises
 ''2. Elasticity of banking credit
 Freedom from dominant financial or political control. |
 "The United States would have had sound banking system years ago if the business interests of the country had united in a demand that the monetary question be kept out of politics. But, un- fortunately for the country, banking and currency reform has heretofore beens made the football of partisan politics, witha the result that today we have the worst barking system of any civilized country.
 .'The business men of the country will. believe, congratulate the democrats of Alabama in leading the movement to take this business question out of politics. The southern states are essentially farming states. and, as such realize as in this case the great benefit that will come to farmers from sound banking and cur rencv system I believe that before the. year is out Congress will give the coun-A trv a scientific revision of the banking laws which will make our system the best in the world.
