THE SMART SEPARATE COAT
A FASHION DEMAND

Straight, simple. almost severe of
line are many of the long, separate
coats. Others are belted and trimmed
to give the effect of suit. With the
increasing popularity of the 0ne-piece
dress a coat Of this sort is almost a
necessity. The soft velours and fur
fabrics appeal as cold, crisp days ap-
proach, but the smooth stuffs and

MONEY TO MOVE THE CROPS.

The Republic recently commented
on the strange yet familiar fact that
big crops usually bring tone OF un-
easness into the money market, pc
cause our cast-iron, unmodern cur
rency system provides no way by
which an extra supply OF cash may
be readily obtained to harvest and
move them. And it is common
knowledge that this year the threat
is somewhat more serious than
usual. This for two reasons. one
is that the haryests promise to be un-
commonly bountiful. The other is
that there has been stringency in
European money markets for some
months. Customers of London, Ber-
lin and Paris bankers and money
lenders have been paying their debts
and keeping their money at home
and calling in their loans.
Whatever reason for apprehension
the conjunction Of these two things
supplied has now been removed
Secretary McAdoo has announced
that he is prepared, if necessary, to
supply 100000, 900 of additional
currency through the national banks
under the provisions of the Aldrich-
Vreeland act.
This act was passed in 1908. The
year before had seen a panic IN
which some perfectly sound banks
had been obliged to suspend, simply
because they could not get cash for
their customers, though their vaults
were full of good commercial paper
and gilt-edge bonds. Under the
Aldrich- Vreeland act group of ma
tional banks-at least ten in num-
Der, each of which must have 20
per cent surplus-may be incorpor-
ated into national currency asso-
ciation.' Then they may take out
additional circulatiOn-which means
issue additional bank notes-by de-
posting with the association good
commercial paper-promissory notes
of merchants and manufacturers
bearing at least two names and
drawn for not more than four
months-or state or municipal
bonds. Currency will be issued
against these to the amount of s.
per cent of the value OF the COM
mercial paper, or 80 per cent OF the
value of the bonds. This additional
circulation will bear tax of 10 per
cent year, 10 insure lIS carry It.
tirement.
1t is improbable that this currency
will be needed in the coming months.
But the announcement that it is
ready will produce an easier feeling
in the money centers of the country
Uncle Sam now looks with equanim-
ity upon the canny financiers of
Lombard street, Paris and Berlin
who are locking their strong boxes
upon vast boards. of money while
the Texas planter, the Kansas wheat
farmer and the corn-growing Mis-
sourian prepare to demand more
cash for cotton-pickers, ginning
crews, reapers, threshermen and
teamsters than they ever paid out in
any summer before. He has we'll
filled wallet in his red-and-white
striped trousers, and, thanks to the
diligence of Secretary McAdoo in
preparing for all possibilities, he
knows where he can lay his hands
on an additional trifle of $5O0,0O0,-
900 in ready cash, if the nations
business needs it.

the relative powers of the state and
federal governments in that portion
of the field of interstate commerce
where interstate rates are aHected.
Their Honors have contented them
selves with declaring that. in the alb
sence Of specific federal legislation,
the states rights may be freely exer-
cised. They have at least limited that
the federal power might seriously
circumscribe those rights were 1T so
disposed. The decision has the I'M
mediate prac teal Importance That
always attaches to a judicial appllca-
ton of a common sense principle to
a concrete case. But it leaves one OF
the most difficult questions in our
jurisprudence-and one which the
country believed to be on the point
of determinations much IN the
dark as it was. States will continue
for the present to fix maximum
rates and their action will be upheld
by the courts. But the limit OF the
federal power remains just as vague
as ever. The decisive battle is yet
to come.-St. Louis Republic. .-

McADoO STANDS THE TEST.

When President Wilson went to
Wall street for secretary OF the
treasury, doubters shook their heads
But the president knew William t..
McAdoo-knew him as the country
gradually is coming to know him.
The McAdoo order requiring
banks to pay per cent interest on
government deposits afforded one
testimonial of McAdoO's loyalty 10
the nations interests. There IS an
other and not so recent order when
has not attracted the attention 1t
merits, giving another line on him.
During the administration OF
several secretaries of the treasury,
the National City (Standard Oll)
bank Of New York had enjoyed the
privilege of desk room in the con-
truller's office. AS the regular
monthly reports of national banks
have come in, the clerk at the Ma
tional City's desk has been given &C
cess to the banks statements, thus
atfording the National City lnforma-
ton regarding the condition of every
national bank in the country
Describing as irregular and I'M
proper the appearance OF the Ma
tional City banks clerk in the de-
partment, Mr.. McAdoo ordered an
end to the privilege, which, he SAID.
tends to establish intimate rela-
tionships with the employees OF the
government and the requirement OF
information of a confidential nature
that ought not to be given to private
individuals or corporations, ana
which. if given at all, should be pub
lished to the entire country.
Seeking to justify itself, the Ma
tional City bank attempted to eX-
plain that the information so obtain
ed was such as may be furnished to
anybody who desires it. This the
American Banker says, may seem a
reasonable explanation for the gen
eral public, but every banker knows
that the reports submitted to the
controller of the currency contain
much information that is sacredly
confidential, and should under no
circumstances be submitted to the
gaze of any third party, especially a
competitive banking institution. II
the prying into these reports is not
illegal, it is not far removed there
from.

Oil banks did, but, shame to tell,
with the consent and approval of the

secretary of the treasury whom the

can browbeat or cajole-Dubuque

WORSE THAN THE LOBBY.

The investigation Of the LOBBY at
Washington has revealed something
worse than a lobby. 1t has SHOWN
that there are members OF the Unit
ed States senate who are financially
interested in the pending tariff Dill.
1t has shown that they intend to
speak and vote upon the subject.
Whatever else may be said against
a lobbyist, he cannot be accused OF
betraying a public trust. He does
not promote the greed of individuals
who profess to serve the people. He
is precisely what he appears to be,
an agent of selfseekers, and those
whom he addresses secretly or open
ly may accept his arguments or re-
ject them, as they like.
A senator who has a pecunlary
stake in the legislation that he is
forwarding is like a judge VINO
should try a case involving his own
fame or fortune. He is like, juror
who should assume to pass upon the
guilt or innocence OF relative or
partner. He is like an arbiter OF a
referee who should undertake the ad-
justment of a controversy to winch
he is party.
One distinguished senator VINO du-
mits that he is tariff beneficiary
gives this explanation Of his mental
and moral processes:
I would not vote for any amend
ments to the tariff bill affecting my
business. l would however, vote for
a tariff bill as whole in case such
amendments were incorporated in
the measure without my assistance.
Striking as recent changes in the
senate have been, there are still
enough members like the one here
quoted to make honest tariff legisla-
ton a matter of doubt and difficulty.
If every senator who by reason OF
his private business affairs is in
honor estopped from voting upon
this issue in any of its phases were
decently to withdraw from the
scene, as judges do in like circum-
stances, a true tariff reform measure
would pass the senate by big ma
jority and quickly.
1t is well to drive the lobby out
of Washington, but senators who
represent only their own bank &C
counts should accompany it.-New
York World.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1913-06-19

look out for the interests OF the old
soldiers of Iowa, as he himself is
a veteran, through his appointment
to the committee on pensions. In
the three departments, postal affairs,
military affairs and pensions, Iowa
will have representation because of
the committee assignments given
members of the states delegation.
The Iowa members supported
President Wilson's tariff bill in the
house and believe it will go through
the senate without any material
change. They supported the presi-
dents position chat there should not
be any tax on the necessities of life,
on the articles that enter, into gener-
al consumption. Aney will support
the administration currency bill,
new nearing completion, when 1t
comes to the house. Whether there
is strong probabilities of passage in
the senate at this session, however,
they are unwilling to forecast as
primary efforts are being concentrat-
ed in completing the tariff legisla-
ton, in conformity with the demo-
cratic platform pledges, and the en-
actment of the tariff bill may come
so late in the extra session as to
make it impracticable to complete
action on the currency bill in both
houses.
