birdseye view of the Wilson Glass
measure. He said he desired that the

bankers and fnanciers be advised
what effect the bill will have. Bulk
ley's "simplified' exposition OF the bill
was:
IBy Robt. ]. Bulkley, representative
from Ohio
The Wilson-Glass bill will free the
currency and credits of the country
from the domination Of any business
group; place reserves Of our banks
where they will do most good; pre-
vent the piling up OF the country
banks resources in Wall street to
support stock exchange operations;
provide safe and sound government
currency, adequate In volume to the
needs of the country's business, and
make it possible for the small bust
ness man to obtain through competi-
tion such credit accommodation as
his business and character merit.
The problem is not an easy one and
| financial sharps have been puzzled
for years to suggest thessor OF re-
form that is needed in our banking
and currency laws. The Aldrich none
tary commission worked two years
trying to solve the problem and fail
ed. But the present bill meets with
general favor and bids fair to be IA
vorably reported from our committee
after all details have been thorough
| ly threshed over and passed within the
next few weeks.
The Glass bill provides for elasticity
of currency, mobilization of reserves,
| and government control of the ma
tion's financial affairs. What will be
Its effect? First there will be fewer
financial panics. No manipulation OF
the money market to create artificial
stringency will be possible because
interest rates, volume Of currency and
extensions of credit will all be con
trolled in the interest of the public
| by a government board. There will
be no ground for fear and distrust
which some times brings on panics
because every one will know that
enough currency and enough credit
will always be available to meet all
Legitimate needs.
| The working man will always get
his pay in government currency as
good as gold and will not be asked to
accept clearing house checks or other
credit substitutes because employers
will always be able to get the cur
lrency which their business justifles.
