CURRENCY BILL PASSED HOUSE
BY THE OVERWHELMING MAJOR
ITY OF 296 TO "a.
Many Republicans and Nearly all the
Progressives Came to the Sup
port of the Measure.

Washington.-Th bill revising the
currency and banking laws, the sec
ond of the big measures put forward
under the Wilson administration in
compliance with the pledges of the
Baltimore platform, was passed by
the house of representatives Thursday
by the overwhelming majority Of 2S6
yeas to "a noes, many republicans and
nearly all the progressiVes coming to
the support Of the measure at the
windup in recognition of the fact that
it is a marked improvement on exist
ing law, even if it is not thorough
going and scientific a scheme as ideal
lists hoped for. Of the negative votes,
only three were cast by democrats,
The measure would eliminate the
present American bank note system,
under which banks issue currency, to
be issued by twelve federal reserve
banks, based on sound commercial
paper which the government assumes
the responsibility of redeeming in gold
or lawful money.
1t would place virtually every phase
of banking under the control of fed
eral board of seven members, to be ap-
pointed by the president and council
of bankers, which would have only
advisory powers. The system would
be administered through the reserve
banks situated in twelve geographical
divisions of the country, each capital
lied at about $5,000,000, which capital
must be subscribed by the banks in
the reserve district At the eleventh
hour the house wrote into the bill
disclaimer of any intention to alter
the gold money standard fixed by law.
Ten days of earnest consideration in
the house failed to alter the bill in any
material particular, and it passed
virtually as drawn by Representative
Glass, after conference with Senator
Owen, chairman of the senate COM
mittee; Secretary McAdoO of the
treasury department and the presi-
dent. Throughout the debate repub-
licans and progressives vigorously de-
nounced the methods employed by the
democrats in framing the bill and in
perfecting its details in caucus. The
democratic lines held firm, however,
and no minority amendments were Of
fered. On final passage but three
democrats voted against the bill.

provement-Mosto of Road Built.

Houston, Texan automobile high
way from Galveston to Dallas, IN or
der to make a reality of the Colorado
to-the-Gulf highway, is the plan OF o.
L. Williams of Bowie, president OF
the Colorado-to-the-Gulf Highway AS
ISOLATION.
By the establishment of thorough
ly equipped and patroled automobile
highway from Denver TO Galveston, via
Dallas and Houston, it is purposed to
divert a large amount OF tourist travel
southwark to the Texas coast resorts.
both in summer and winter
The highway is now completed from
Denver to Dallas and since last May,
according to President Williams, there
has been an average Of 900 touring
cars month that have used this route
in overland travel and every commun-
ity all along the highway has been
commercially benefited thereby.
Recent the attempt to continue the
line to Galveston by way of Waco has
been abandoned because Of the defeat
of a good roads bond issue in McLen-
nan County. AS a result, new route
is proposed. This route is from Dallas
south to Corsicana, via league, Madi-
sonville, Huntsville, CoHroe. Norman
gee and Houston to Galveston. The
road between Galveston and Houston
already fulfills the association re-
Quirements, and the stretch between
Dallas and Normangee is the only one
that will need improvement. 1t is pur-
posed that each of the counties bisect-
ed by the proposed road form a good
roads and highway association and
that the five counties affected join
into a district organization, and that
when the highway has been completed
the line become the official one be-
tween North and South Texas.
Roads forming a part of this pro-
posed airline highway must be in,
spected and passed upon by the asso-
citation engineers and must comply
with the rules laid down by the asso-
citation These rules call for 60-foot
right of way for each road, road
graded and dragged with a clay sur
face of thirty feet from curb to curb
with 25-foot crown, and when a
paved cap is put on this cap must be
twelve feet wide. Sharp curves must
be changed to easy curves and where
there are turns in the road the under
brush must be cleared away so that
automobiles approaching from oppo.
site directions can each be seen by
the other. All bridges must be in a
straight line with the roads.

1.-THE fire loss of this country
amounting TO over quarter of a bill
lion of dollars annually, is one of the

preVentable causes, and urgently call
for remedial action on the part Of the
people and their officials.
Therefore, |, l.. E. Hall, governor
OF the State OF Louisiana, do issue this
my proclamation, naming October 8,
the forty-third anniversary of the
great Chicago fire, as fire prevention
'iay.
i earnestly urge the people of the
state to observe this day by a thor.

premises; that all flues and heating
apparatus be inspected and made safe
for the winter; that schools. hotels

looked after, their safety secured: that
fire drills be held in department stores

EXAMINATION PAPERS
ARE Being REGARDED
Parishes Are Short of Teachers
Large Per Cent FaiIed-Say
Questions Were Reasonable.

Baton ROuge.-To meet the com
plant that has come from the teachers
all over Louisiana who failed to pass
the recent state examination, the de-
partment of education and the state
examining committee are having the
papers regarded, with the first grade
certificate subjects eliminated from
consideration. in the hope of finding
that the applicant can secure sufficient
marks to get a second or third grade
certificate.
A large per cent of the teachers who
stood the examination failed. In some
parishes only one passed in some
none made the required average to Sc,
cure a certificate.
The result has been that some of
the parishes are not able to secure
sufficient qualified teachers for the
work, and vigorous complaint has been
made.
In answer to some Of the criticism,
the department of education officials
say that fair and reasonable questions
were framed for the August examina-
ton.
When the papers were received &C
tive competent teachers, such as Col
Nicholson and Prof. Hines, of the
State University, were selected to as
sist in grading. None but graduated
teachers was employed. They were
instructed to be as liberal as possible
consistent with proper standards.
The department of education says
that where there was reasonable as
sumption that the papers had been too
rigidly graded the chairman of the
examination committee went through
the papers again, with the idea of
raising the grades, if it could consist,
emily be done.
In order to further relieve the situa.
ton, teachers who applied for first
grade certificates, but failed on geom-
etry, had this subject eliminated, and
their papers are being regarded to
determine whether or not they can get
q second grade certificate. Should they
fall below the second grade average
both geometry and algebra will be
eliminated and a third grade certifi
cate issued, il possible.
