Senator Smith said: Il do not apprehend

The majority that the democrats will
have in the Senate is very slim that
there has been much talk of strengthen
ing it by a coalition with the progressive
republicans, but this plan has not met
favor all along the line, as IL would un-
doubtedly mean a compromise, on many
measures, and particularly on the tariff,
and it is the hope of members of Con-
gress that this may be avoided. 1t can

The democrats do expect, however, very

Many democrats in the House demand

this demand that in all probability sugar

tariff on sugar will be greatly reduced

lost upon sugar the income tax bill will
be passed. provided two more states rat
ify the constitutional amendment in time
to do so, and if not, then the excise tax
will be passed, which practically answers
all purposes of the income tax and has
already passed the test of the supreme

These Summer DAYS

During the hot months mothers

FIGHT IS CERTAIN
ON ASSET CURRENCY
Bill Now Known to Contain
Proposal DistastefuI to So
Many Democrats.

Currency legislation was the chief
topic of discussion at both the White
House and Capitol today. The Presi-
dent was scheduled to discuss his mes
sage with the Cabinet, and Congress
man Glass busted himself with making
a digest of the bill, which will be made
public. in all probability, this week.
II has been learned that the bill will
provide for an asset currency, against
which many Democrats have rebelled.
This feature of the bill is in itself
sufficient to kick up a party rumpus.
although the President eventually may
prove convincing.
Board of Control.
AS forecast, the bill will provide for
a Federal board of control and fifteen
regional reserve associations, geo.
graphically distributed. The Federal
board of control will make the note is
sues to the regional reserve banks,
which may mollifv to a certain ex-
tent Democrats who fear bank domi-
nation"
To bring about more elasticity, the
board of control. in cases Of emergency.
may transfer from one reserve associa-
ton to another reserve funds, to meet
local conditions.
Reports that there would be gradu
ated tax on national bank note issues
are declared without foundation, and
fat tax rate of one-half of per cent
probably will be made.
The bill will seek to reduce the
amount Of reserve now held in the larg-
er cities. and to prevent concentration"
Of such reserves
Fiscal Agents.
Regional banks. when created. are to
be the fiscal agents of the Government
and the Governments attitude toward
them in the way of deposits VIII be
liberal. The regional reserve or central
bank will be, in effect, subtreasuries
and little money will be kept in re-
serve in Washington.
There will Be- no attempt TO retire
Immediately existing national bank cir
culation. The retirement will be grad

troll notes taking the place Of the ole
