pointed, consisting of FIVE groups Of
FIVE men each, representing FIVE great
commercial sections of the country. Its
personnel has been selected with the
greatest care. When currency bills are
introduced in Congress, copies are to
be forwarded to the FIVE subcommit-
tees, which will decide only upon the
general questions Of legislative policy,
leaving all details to Congress The
report of the full committee will be
forwarded to the board of directors
of the national chamber. 1t then will
be made the subject of a referendum,
and the vote thus taken may be regard
ed as the nearest approach to the con-
crete opinion of the business world.
No less than 200 of its ablest men
comprise the various committees of
the chamber. The subject of national
Cancellation in labor disputes will be
canvassed in the same way as the
currency question The matter is of
vital importance to business, yet it
never has received more than sporadic
attention
The new chamber should do more
than merely voice its opinion. 1t must
interest the Federal government in its
work We are pleased to state that
part of this work already has been ac-
complished. Upon the initiative of
Mr.. Taft and his Secretary of Com
merce, Mr.. Nagel, and with their CO.
operation, the chamber today also en-
joys the good will and cooperation of
President Wilson and Secretary of
Commerce Red6eld, the latter a practi-
cal manufacturer and student of
commercial economics.
One novelty instituted by the national
board is the establishment of indi-
vidual memberships (S25 year,. The
aim is to interest actively in the work
of the national chamber the most prom
inent business men of the land, whose
names and influence will add prestige
to the work of the central chamber
and prove generally useful. Members
of this class must belong also to some
local constituent body, and are given
no other vote than that to which any
other individual is entitled to. 1t is
believed that this will secure to the
chamber a most valuable auxiliary.
The Washington herald., 1913-05-03
Looking to the Future.

President Wilson's flying trip to New
Jersey and New York is one fraught
with considerable political significance,
especially as regards the future of the
Democratic party The President has
his ear to the ground, realizes that he
was not elected by his party, but by
puzzled Republicans, or, as he said in
his speech in New Jersey Thursday
night:
/ want to say few words about the
Democratic party. / want everybody
to realize that | was moi taken in by
the results of the last national election.
1t was impossible for it to go Repub-
lican because it couldn't tell which
kind of Republican to go to.
Thoroughly realizing his position and
that of his party, Mr.. Wilson is doing
his utmost to make such a record that
the people generally will look to him
as their leader. With that end in
view, it is extremely probable even in
the tariff discussion some efforts will
be made to placate certain States
when the final vote IS taken on the
sugar and wool questions, especially
when the spring vote in Michigan
(Which State went for Mr.. Roosevelt
last November) show that State to
have gone Overwhelmingly Republican.
Michigan is beet sugar State Colo
RADIO also. The latter State gave its
electoral vote to Mr. Wilson. There are
other Commonwealth interested in the
beet sugar industry. The President
and his party know it. 1t will be
strange, indeed, if the trained men in
politics do not modify the stand now
taken by the Democrats on "free"
sugar and make some concessions to
those States now considered doubtful.
The Washington herald., 1913-05-03
Secretary McAdoo and the Banks.

The new Secretary of the Treasury
has interfered with one of the long
standing privileges of the national
banks in requiring them to pay per
cent interest on deposits of the national
funds in their temporary keeping.
From the day of the foundation of
the national banks they have had the
free use of these funds and have, as
a result, profted many millions out of
the transaction, or out of the privilege
accorded them. Banks make an aver
age of e per cent on short-term loans,
so that by paying the per cent they
still will make a margin of profit on
the governments money, which they
are allowed to handle. Now, when it
comes down to proper business meth
DDS and requirements, it is very diff
cult to understand why the banks
should not be obliged to pay over to
the Federal Treasury all of the profits
they are making continually out of
Uncle Sans funds intrusted to their
care, and, incidentally, strengthening
their ready cash assets, whenever
pushed for currency.
1t is the nature of man to acquire
all the privileges that come his way
To paraphrase well-known quota
ton on greatness Some are born
privileged. some acquire privilege, and
some have privilege thrust upon them
Our national banks have had privileges
thrust upon them The whole scheme
was so cleverly devised and applied
that it was many years before even
well-informed men had any idea of
the "cinch" hold which these institu-
tons had secured upon the business
and finances of the country. The gov
eminent is back of them. 1t supplies
them with all the currency they require
free Of charge, and, besides, pays them
interest on the securities upon which
their note circulation is based Come
to look at this with closer scrutiny it
must be admitted that the protection
granted certain lines of industry and
manufacture by the tariff is a mild
thing when compared with that which
the Federal government spreads over
the national banks.
We do not believe it at all likely
that they will make loud outcry
against paying the per cent interest
demanded by Secretary McAdoo, be-
cause they fear other and more far
reaching demands, when once a cur
rency bill will be enacted.
Treasury surplus ought to be kept in
active use in order to prevent strin-
gency in critical times. This will be
gainsaid by no one, but there is no
good reason why the banks should
have all these great sums gratis Treas
ury traditions have not been inter-
fered with. 1t is time that they
should be changed, according to mod
ern ideas.

EVERY SATURDAY.
Cur Motto: IF you see il in The Big
Stick. it ism I necessarily so.
Hot Language, but True

On our way to the dairy lunch
around the corner yesterday after
noon We were held up by a certain
google-cyed gump of a COOP, who
souinted at us with his yellow eyes
and wanted to know why we always
rooted for Wash. and boosted the
home folks. For a moment We felt
like hauling of and sending him
into the middle of next week, but
a sober second thought convinced us
that militant tactics would only
aggrarate matters. We took a deep
breath and simply inundated him as
follows:
We are for Wash. because our
interests are here; because the place
that's good enuf for us to live in is
good enuf for US to buy in; be-
cause We believe in transacting bus.
with our friends; because We want
to see the goods: because We want
to get what we buy when we pay
for it because our home merchant
carries us when we run short; be-
cause the dollar We spend at home
stays at home and works for the
community in which we live; be-
cause the man we buy from stands
back Of the goods; because we sell
most of what we produce right here
at home, and here We buy; because
the man we buy from pays his part
Of the town tax, helps to support
the schools, churches, the Fire and
Police Departments; because, when
ill-luck comes, the man we buy
from is right on the SPOT with a
smile and words of cheer and an
open pocketbook. if need be : because
here we live and here we buy; be-
cause"
Just then the ambulance drew up
to the curb and took the COOP away,
thanks he to goodness.

The Washington herald., 1913-05-03

The organization and plan of work
of the United States Chamber of Com
merce has been approved by some OF
the great European trade bodies, and
at meeting of the permanent COM
mittee of the International Congress
of Chambers of Commerce, to be held
at Brussels next week, the committee
will consider certain work and meth
DDS of our national chamber, which are
recognized as promising good results
for all business.
1t is but now that the business men
of this country are. beginning to rec
ognize what the new United States
Chamber of Commerce is doing for
the advancement of their interests. No
less than $40 local commercial bodies,
representing a membership of 100000,
have come into the national chamber
since its creation year ago. Some 700
odd such organizations exist in the
United States, and, judging from the
present rate of progress, most of them
will affiliate within the next twelve
months.
A noteworthy example of methods is
the referendum system of the national
chamber, whereby an important ques-
ton IS referred to the constituent
bodies, by them debated and voted
upon, and the result published
broadcast The budget system pro-
posed by Mr. Taft has been approved
by the thoughtful business sentiment of
the country. Just now referendum
is being taken on the question of a per-
manent tariff commission, and a call
is to go out asking for declaration of
sentiment as to the clause in the sum
dry civil bill, now before Congress, ex-
empting labor and farmers organiza-
tons from the prohibition of the Sher-
man act
What can the United States Cham
Der of Commerce do to bridge the gulf
between the business interests of the
country and the Federal government?
How can it express the sentiment of
the business men of the entire coun-
try on great questions and make these
sentiments effective, Will it ever be-
come semi-official body, performing
a service similar to that rendered by
the great commercial bodies in En-
rope?
The answer is suggested best BY
an outline of some of the work done
and planned by the chamber. Three
paramount legislative issues now con-
front US: tariff, currency, and trusts.
In reference to the first, the directors
of the national chamber were wise in
their generation. They decided that
where lone mans meat is another's |
poison" there never can be an agree
ment. All they did was to make prop
uganda for permanent tariff commits |
sion. The banking and currency prob
lem should be entirely nonpartisan On
this issue Congress quite naturally must |
have the opinions of commerce. A
committee of twenty-five mas been sp-

Grape Juice Diplomacy.

Diplomats in our town are still
engaged in animated discussion over
that dinner given them by Secretary
Bryan. They have come to the
conclusion that Mr.. Bryan believes
IN animated discussion after instead
Of during a state dinner. In order
to preserve cordial relations with
our country. diplomats have not been
prescribed. however. from going
around the corner on Pa. Ave. and
varying the menu with q little gin

only feared that these grape juice
entertainments may cause a revival
Of the hollow-cane fad, or that am
bassadors will have TO fortify them
selves with a little something on the

attending these dinners constitutes
the supreme test of the average

most successful ambassadors to

According to all The Big Stick
man could learn this past week.
Mr.. Houston is one Of the best
qualified men to he Secretary of
Agriculture. He was reared in a
town that had good deal of trouble
in keeping the country outside the
corporate limits. and ever since he
attained manhood he has been
teaching young beans how to shoot.
Like another Cincinnatus. he turned
from the pillow to become dictator Of
the vegetable kingdom.
What The Big Stick likes best
about him is, he is an enthusiast.
