Emergency MONEY
IS SPROUTY'S SCHEME
Iowa Congressman Explains
His Plan to Halt Panics in
the United States.

Congressman Prouty OF Iowa today
introduced in the House a compre-
hensive bill for the creation of an emer-
gency currency system The bill is
one to which Judge Prouty has given
much attention and about which he
has consulted Treasury officials who
have approved its principles.
The bill would provide the national
hoAks with over q half billion of emer-
gsncy currency, the issue of which
would be in control of the Federal Gov
eminent. It would be forced into re-
tirement by taxation when not needed.
Judge Prouty believes the bill would
absolutely prevent panics and would be
q great Improvement over the present
Aldrich emergency currency measure.
Explains His Measure.
Judge Prouty, in a statement re-
sarding the bill, said:
"This bill, as its title shows. is in
tended purely to create an emergency
currency. 1t provides that the Comp
troller Of the Currency shall have
printed for the various national banks
emergency currency equal to one-half
Of the capital stock. This shall be de-
livered only to thoroughly solvent banks
that have 20 per cent or more surplus
and are found by the Comptroller to be
in good financial condition.
This money Is to be placed in the
vaults of the various banks, but Is not
to be issued until permission is secured
from the Comptroller of the Currency.
1t IL intended to take the place of clear
ing house certificates now ordinarily
used by banks In times of panic, and is
also intended to take the place of the
currency to be issued under the act Of
1903, which will expire next year.
The bill makes IT a severe crime to
put this money in circulation without
the authority Of the Comptroller. This
money Ia to be printed exactly the same
as other bank currency. and its pay
ment guaranteed by the United States.
Banks Must Pay Interest.
The bank issuing 1t is required to
pay interest to the United States on this
currency, If It is outstanding ninety
days, 8 per cent; II 1t Is outstanding $50
days. 1t is required to pay 6 per cent;
II outstanding longer than that time, 1t
is required to pay 10 per cent per
annum.
"The effect Of this rate of interest
would force the banks to redeem the
money as soon as not needed for the
emergency that called II into existence
"If any bank allows these notes to
remain out more than six months. the
Comptroller Of the Currency may order
q deposit by the bank for redemption.
and IL not complied with In time or
manner provided In the order. he may
take charge of the bank and wind II
up under the law for winding up insol-
vent national banks; in which event
the emergency notes thus issued shall
be a first lien on the assets of the
bank"

 TO STIMULATE CARTOON DRAW iNG-DuIaney and Leecraft, the own CTS and managers of the popular Lion theater decided yesterday to do what they could to stimulate the local car toonists to action, or to develop if pos sible the embryo cartoonists of the Bud Fisher type, should there be any, in this section. It was consequently decided to offer a prize of $10O to any one who can duplicate Bud Fishers stunt, as it is shown in the Pathe Weekly this week at the Lion. However there are three conditions to the proposition, which are, the time taken must not exceed that taken by Bud; the work must be as good and the competitor must have been in Phoenix for at least three weeks

VAUDEVILLE ADDED ID
 lAmARA ATTRACTIONS
Manager Lawson Books Three High Class Acts Daily to Run in Addi ton to Picture Program.

An addition to Phoenix pleasure places is the Lamara vaudeville house Or rather it is a transformation from an all day picture show to one of the leading vaudeville theaters of the city The word of Captain Lawson, manager of the place has gone forth that no better acts could be found on any cir cult than will play at the Lamara. The new stunt dates from today unless the trains are late and the teams fail to arrive
 Feature acts only will be used at the Lamara. The best that is on the Sul- livan and Considine. Levy and Orphe- um will be booked for the new place. There will be three acts daily and four pictures just as usual. From ten- thirty in the morning until about two in the afternoon the house will be the regular open all time picture show. At about two or two thirty the first matinee will be given with all the acts and this will be repeated an hour later In the ev- ening there will be two full sets for the acts and the pictures go on as per regular schedule
 nifty stage has been built in the rear of the Lamara and from Los Angeles house has come scenery which Lawson believes the equal or better than any in a similar place in the southwest. The studio was worked over time getting out the order, but the rush did not mar the clear rich tones and the exquisite balance of objects. With its luxurious front house and it's added attractions, the Lamara will speedily become known as one of the vaudeville theaters of the town.
 The manager could not tell the names of the acts, but according to the wired information he has, they are all headliners and we'll diversified.
