The scorr.eARRlsoN BILL

Senator LaFollette Of Wisconsin
is soon to introduce a bin to remedy
the defects in our banking system,
said to have been prepared with the
counsel of William A. Scott, director
Of the School of Commerce of the
University of Wisconsin, and e. E.
Garrison of the Wisconsin State
Journal. The Progressive has discuss
ed this bill with friends in Congress,
and reports from Washington are TO
the effect that it follows the lines OF
the plan advanced by the National
Monetary Commission, with these inn
portrait changes:
THE stock OF the central reserve
agency is o be owned by the public
instead OF the banks.
'The Government is 90 control the
stock ownership, with power to with
draw stock and resell IL whenever
there seems danger of selfish control
by "a small group OF men.
THE central reserve agency shall
base its loans solely on commercial
paper, and shall do no stock e&,
change business
These probably are mo- the only
changes from the so-called 'Aldrich
bill, but they are reported as the
essential changes. They commend
themselves 10 the good sense of stu
dents of the monetary question. SEN
ator LaF0llcttee and his associates
recognize the sound economic prin-
ciples of tho Monetary Commissions
plan and are evidently making d sim
cere and thoughtful attempt to rem.
edy it5 defects, Whether or not the
bill is adopted, il will afford "a yalu-
able basis for study and criticism.

BRYAN'S TRIBUTE
TO THE OLD HEN
She Has Been Our Constant Friend
and Has Never Forsaken Us
in Time of Trouble.

William Jennings Bryan has said a
great many good things in his
speeches delivered on his trips about
the country, but his tribute TO the
hen is worth reproducing.
Mr.. Bryan, on his trip around the
world, found that in some countries
many dishes were Of doubtful palata'
bility, but the boiled egg of the omni-
present hen always appealed to him
as a safe proposition. He writes as
follows;
we have crossed the Bosphorus
and hidden farewell to Asia, wilhih
whose borders we have spent about
seven months. They have been won
derfully instructive months, and we
have enjoyed the experiences through
which we have passed, but VIC cannot
say that we have fallen in love with
the Asiatic food. We have been afraid
of the raw vegetables; we have dis
trusted the water unless it was boiled
and we have sometimes been skepti-
cal about the meat.
"The butter has not always looked
inviting, and our fondness for cream
has not always been increased by the
sight of the goats driven from door
10 door and MIXED in the presence Of
the purchaser. The bread was not a
rival for the Vienna bread, and the
cooking has not been up to the Yves
tern standard.
but the hen--long life to herl She
has been our constant friend. When
all else failed we could fall back upon
the boiled egg with a sense of Sc
curity and a feeling of satisfaction. II
| am not |henceforth a poultry fancier
in the technical sense of the term, |
shall return with an increased respect
for the common, everyday barnyard
fowl. There are many differences
between the East and the West
differences in race characteristics,
differences in costumes, differences in
ideals Of life, of government and of
religion, but we all meet at the
breakfast table-the egg, like a touch
of nature makes the whole world
kim"

Within five years the Bethlehem
Steel Company's consumption of ore
has increased from 100000 to 1900,
900 tons q year. No one doubts that
that is in considerable measure due
10 the fact that the duty on ore was
reduced three and a half years ago.
Nothing would give the WOODEN man
%ufaoturer such a stimulus as free
wool. The chief difference i'll the
cost Of wooden articles here and in
England is the cost OF wool-not the
cost OF labor. This was shown to the
Payne Ways and Means Committee
BY a special agent OF the Treasury
who ayoWed himself a Protectionist.
With free wool the products OF the
mills would be sold at much lower
prices and therefore would be bought
much more freely. More persons
would be employed in making the
fabrics and the demand for labor
would probably increase wages Mr.,
Taft's Tariff Board demonstrated that
there was no such difference between
labor costs in this country and Eng
land as to justify the present duties.
The duties are not only more than
the difference in wages, bat in many
eases they are more than the whole
American wsge item.
