BROOKLANN RESIDENTS
 DISSATISFIED WITH
 KEW TROLLEY SERVICE

Residents of the Brooklawn section are complaining over the car service which has been given them since the new Stratheld line was put into com mission. Instead of getting ten min ute service as before, they now get 20 minute service. Another reason for complaint fig that the trolley peo- pie have placed the whife pole in an inconvenient location in Brooklawn avenue. Those who are finding fault claim that the white. pole is placed in front of a residence whose occu- pants use an automobile and seldom ride in trolley cars. They want the pole placed at the head of Cleveland avenue. Under the present arrange ment people living in Cleveland ave nue are made to walk either to the Brooklawn skating rink or to the pole 8 block south.

MORE SEATS PROVIDED
Chicago Convention Halls Capacity Is
Larger This Year.

Chicago, May IAN arrangement
of seats in the coliseum for the Re-
publican national convention is being
perfected whereby 10000 persons, or
about 1900 more than were present
when William H. Taft was nominated,
may be accommodated.
The subcommittee in charge of the
convention arrangement headed by
Harry S. New of Indiana, will meet
here on May IA. At this time the
seating arrangement, it is expected,
will be definitely passed upon, to-

Under the direction of Alexander r.

And Thus Show DisapprOvaI of

New York, May ASIDE from the
purely political interest which the
recent use of the presidential primary
in Massachusetts has inspired there is
another feature of his preliminary
struggle Or skirmish to which some of
the most earnest advocates of change
or reform in certain of our political
methods are now calling attention.
In 1908 Massachusetts cast approx
mately two hundred and sixty thou
sand votes in support of the candidacy
for president of William H. Taft. This
was a hundred and eleven thousand,
in round numbers. in excess of the
votes cast for William j. Bryan. At
the recent primary voting in Massa-
chusetts there appear to have been
cast about hundred and sixty thou
sands votes by Republicans, with a
slight majority in favor of the can
didacy of President Taft. This Re
publican vote is therefore only fifty
thousand larger than the majority OBJ

phatic approval of the proposition that
there be a change in our national
banking and currency system. One OF
these states is New York. 1t is in
New York that many of the alleged
evils of monopolistic tendencies of
money groups are to be found Yet
the Republican convention of New
York state most cordially approved the
proposed reform of our banking and
currency system, stating bluntly that
whatever evils of monopolistic or
money accommodating kind there may
be for the most part have been made
possible by our archaic banking sys-
tenn. The Republicans state that our
banking and currency laws make un-
reasonable variation in the interest
rate for the use of money possible and
offer great opportunities for dangerous
speculation and for highly centralized
control of the nations banking re-
sources. That is the expression or the
opinion of the majority party of New
York state. On the other hand, the
state of Alabama chiefly an agricul-
tural state, a Democratic state, at its
recent Democratic convention Joined
with New York III demanding change
in our banking and currency system
Alabama goes so far as to say that a
change could be secured which would
create an elastic banking system and
preserve our independent banks from
any dominant financial or political
control.
1t is the understanding in New York
that this plank in the Democratic plat
form in Alabama was either written by
Oscar W. Underwood, who was Ala
bama's choice fo- the presidential
nomination, or was submitted to him
and cordially approved.
Business men all over the country
who are taking great interest in this
subject of banking and currency re-
form are now persuaded that If other
states will follow the example of New
York and Alabama and that If the
platforms written at the two national
conventions will contain as emphatic
statements as New York and Alabama
have made, an investigation like that
one proposed by the Pujo committee
will be unnecessary.
Some who are familiar with the
vast mass of testimony and record
which was obtained by the national
currency commission are persuaded
that a congressional investigating COM
mittee would need no further testi-
mony than that contained in these
volumes. For nobody asserts that what
so to speak, is in violation of the law.
Even Samuel Untermyer, who made
the first effective and powerful ad-
dress which called@attention to the fact
that under our present banking and
currency law the accumulation of
money capital and of banking credit
in a few hands haG been inevitable,
nevertheless asserted, in all sincerity
apparently, that this concentration of
banking and credit power has been
achieved not in violation of the law,
but on account of it,
