cinal foreign countries points out that
the experience Of commercial nu-
ticns is that results can be better ac=
complished by the creation Of a pri-
vately owned central organization
dominated and controlled by the
government, as for instance, the lm-
peria Rank OF Germany or the Bank
OF France. II serves to take the mat
ter out Of politics.
THE great danger. the statement
continues, lis that If borrowers go dl-
rect to the treasury. politics will be-
come an all-important and domlnat-
ing influence"
Answering To the direct questions
whether there should he a central re-
serve association with branches or a
number of reserve associations with
or without central control. the bank
ers replied
In our opinion, one central re-
serve association with branches would
best serve our present necessities
Failing that. small number OF re-
gional reserve associations. also with
branches, might be organized to serve
the purpose. If there are to be q
number of regional reserve associa-
tions. they should be under some kind
Of control in which both government
and the various associations should
have representation
The commission does not favor con-
tinuation of bond-securcd currency
the objection being that the volume
Of currency is arbitrarily limited.
The ankers do not commit them
selves to any statement whether there
should be any change in the present
requirement of law that 25 per cent OF
deposits shall be held as reserve. The
advisability of such change In their
orinion would depend upon the man
ner in which the reserves are to be
controlled and protected.
One OF the most important recom>
mendations OF the commission is made
in the reply to the question, should
an elastic currency be authorized by
law"
we believe that such a currency
should be authorized by law" the
answer runs. "The amount TO be con
trolled by the gold reserve require
ments against it such reserves
should have not less than so per cens
as recognized minimum 4 special
tax might be levied upon any deflc-
iency Of the reserve below the stipu-
lated amount of It, this tax 10 be in
creased as the deficiency increases
Such provision would. in our opinion,
prevent over-eNpansion of the cur
rency.'
such currency should be issued hy
a central reserve association. the COM
mission believes. rather than by a
member Of a regional reserve or the
United gfHfeg treasury Thaea notes
should be made a first lien. not OF the
government. but of holders OF the
notes upon the assets OF the associa-
tions which issues them,
Replying to the question whether
all currency should be based upon
gold. the commission says
Reserve money should preferably
be gold. but the proportion Of green
backs and silver now included In our
so-called lawful money. II not in
creased, * of diminishing importance
and if continued as eligible for re-
serve. will not cause embarrassment.

MANY LIVES LOST IN FLOODS

(From the Boston Transcript
OF the thousand of fatalities in the
catastrophies the last half-century in
this country probably more were due
TO floods than to any other single
cause. Rising waters, with destruc-
ton Of property, have been common
from year to year in many valleys.
Almost invariably, however, it has
been possible to warn inhabitants of
the low areas adjoining rivers. Most
of the destruction of life by water has
occurred in connection with the
breaking Of dams, from which cities
and villages have been inundated.
The biggest example of high-pres-
sure flood was that which swept the
village of Johnstown, Pa, on May 81,
1889, taking 1886 lives and destroying
property valued at 100000. The
water in the great reservoir of Lake
Conemaugh Valley, destroying Johns
town and al its neighbor villages.
Fire followed the flood.
The reservoir, far higher than
Johnstown, belonged to a hunting
club. II had been constructed care
lessly. Complaints often had been
made to the owners. The dam of the
reservoir was made of earth with no
masonry reinforcement There had
been long continued rains prior to'
May 81, and when the danger was
seen gangs Of men were put to work
to open a sluice But they could not
work fast enough to keep pace with
the rising waters.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1913-04-02

At noon on May 81 a message was
sent to Johnstown warning all the in
habitants to fee. The warning was
not taken seriously. When it became
certain that the dam was going an
engineer named TTaks mounted a fast
horse and rode through the valley TO
Johnstown, IS miles away, shouting
an alarm as he went
At 3 P, M.the whole center of the
dam gave way in a break 800 feet
wide. The food half a mile wide and
40 feet high, rushed ON its way TO
Johnstown. 1t tore down everything
in its course, taking up whole villages
in a few seconds and carrying the
tons of building materials like SO
many chips.
TWO wings of the food struck Johns
town almost simultaneously. The de-
struction was complete. Persons who
escaped were prompted to run at the
last moment, when they heard the rush
of water in the distance Hundreds
fioated in the rapids and whirlpool IS
and were not found for days.

TRIUMPH OF CIVIC PRIDE

In the passage of the bonds for i'm
provement OF the city schools and the
extension of the sewer system the city
of Americas has achieved a civic tri-
umph. A city must have pride in its
future and in the betterment OF rs
citizens to vote for bonds. That pride
and vital interest in the welfare Of
the municipality the people of Americas
have well shown in their decisive ap-
prevail of the matter of issuing bonds.
1t is generally conceded that to OBJ
tain a two-thirds majority of the vot-
ers registered in an election
for bonds is colossal task,
unless the voters themselves
are vitality and deeply aroused
relative TO the need of the bonds. 1t is,
therefore, more gratifying than ever in
the present INSTANCE to note that net
only the two-thirds majority was az
tanned but a wide margin, under the
circumstances in favor of each one Of
the separate issues.
There is cause for the heartiest con.
gratulations on the part of every cit
izen and resident of Americas as the
result of the election. There is espar-
ial cause for jubilation on the part #
the parents of the city. The people Of
Americas believe as did Victor Hugo
that when a school is opened a Jail is
closed. The investment in school
bonds is the most effective spiritually
that the city could make while being
likewise the cheapest in point of mere
money.
The victory was a notable one. Sell
dom have the people of Americas been
more united or NOR determined 20
carry an election than in this instance
Il was the voting of practically unan-
imous popular sentiment. 1t was in
spring to see the people of the city
welded into one solid mass of voters
who cast their callots for bonds. The
good effects of the election should BE-
ftr-reaching and permanent.

Interest in Progressive Caucus.

Washington, D. c., April 1.-The ole
timers about the capitol are attaching
considerable importance to the eau
Gus which the progressives of the
house will hold tomorrow for the pur-
pose of organization. Not that the
caucus itself will be of any very great
importance, but it comes as a forcl-
BILE reminder that there will be three
separate and distinct political parties
represented in the congress about 70
assemble. This fact in itself is almost
without precedent, unless the presence
of Victor Berger, as the lone represen-
tative of the socialistic party in the
last congress be taken as precedent
The progressives are not of the
brand to sit quietly in the background,
as Representative Berger was forced
to do. Their exact numerical strength
cannot be foretold with certainty, but
it is practically certain they will De
numerous enough=to make considera-
BILE noise before the close of the SEES

Representative Hinebaugh, of Illi-
nois, who taak the initiative in calling
the caucus, believes that at least 4
score of members will attend the
meeting, though others are of the
opinion that the number will figure
about dozen. The program is 20

FORTUNE LEFT BELL BOY
OF A HOTEL IN CHICAGO

steward of the Inflated steamship tt
tanic, who persisted when the ship went
down. Ferguson came down town this
morning driving an automobile he
purchased on the strength of his in
heritance.
