due to it's basic importance, demands clearness. penetration and good sense.
 By their very nature. banks are in stitutions for collecting and loaning eapi- tai. So long as capital is necessary to production, banks render an unmistakable service to industry. All production re- quires capital, as well as labor: and the producer. the jobber and the retailer are in need of capital to hire labor to help in the rapid exchange of goods, to extend their business. and to meet obligations while collections are coming in. Therefore, all classes in the world are as directly dependent upon banks for loans of capital as the growing crops are dependent on rain and sunshine. What kind of a banking sys- tenn we have is, then, of direct concern, not merely 10 bankers. but to all bor- rowers, to producers and laborers, and an evil system which entails injury al ways hurts most the man at the bottom, who has the least means and the least power of resistance. Banks and busi- ness men who borrow are converse terms The borrowers could not exist without banks any more than banks could exist without borrowers. The two go together.

 No direct statement was given in con- neetion with the construction proposition yesterday, but several references were made to the subject by MT. Rockefeller. Mr. Yoakum and others of the party.
 Mr Rockefeller said directly that the construction of the Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul line into Birmingham was up to President Earlng. and MT. Win chell, and that he hoped to see the yell low cars of the Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul some day pulling into Birming- ham,"

posed reform makes no change in the issue of greenbacks by the treasury. Whether wise or unwise, that ques- ton is not now raised. Likewise, the ls- sue of bank notes has long been per mitted to the national banks, although the supervisory action of the state Is exercised in many ways under the nd- tional banking law. by regulations eA- aminations and the like
 The proposal to reconstruct the system of bank note issues raises no new nor fundamental question. It is not choiee between government issues and bank issues It is merely q matter of re- arrangement by which the natlonai banks may retain their present issues if they prefer-or have them transferred 10 a common agency representing all the banks. yet supervised by government off- cials; and so that this cooperative agency may issue in the common inter- est such emergency circulation as may be needed in any time of stress.
 When one of the parties in the recent political campaigns declared that "the issue of currency was fundamentally government Junction." it seemed to be based on the assumption that paper money is the essential medium of 'ex- change by which trade performs it's work. This we know to be untrue. This state ment assumes, moreover, that the Gov ernment is an institution winch IS so closely in contact with business trans actions that it can carry through loans by an issue of notes when wanted, and withdraw them when the transactions are closed This also we know to be untrue There are certain operations of trade and banking which could not be performed by a government even if it wished to- and the issue of notes in connection with the functions of discount is one of them. It would moreover, be utterly impossible for a government issue to have elasticity, since it is not a banking institution grant ing loans to private persons. The whole history of government issues has been one not only of inelast.city, but even of folly. Even the highly paternalistic states, like Germany and France, find it desir- able to have the currency issued. not by the government, but by banks. Prob ably these great commercial countries had never heard of the principles laid down in the platform just noted.

that the line would assuredly be con neeted with Birmingham and that while details had not been outlined. yet there was some activity in that direction.
 The talk has been general that the Bur lington Route intended to come here, but it is believed that the visiting of the officials yesterday means that the Chi eago. Milwaukee and St. Paul fully in tends to enter the local field.
 Birmingham is certainly great city. 9 said President EarIing and I have en- joyed this trip very much indeed. We are just looking, as may be surmised. 1 have no doubt but what Birmingham will have more initial lines in the future than she has now. but as to our coming I have nothing to say.
