In consequence, thousands of kind

possessed Of an immortal soul and
eager for betterment of condition She
wants $500 a week. Her former en-

run the factory at a profit, says: I

you pay more?
No. you say. She cannot speak
English. Knows nothing of a modern

you, Mr.. Storekeeper, what win
you give? You could not use her ser
vices; she is unprepossessing and un

"All the rest Of you-doctors, law,

Of Mary?
"She wants only $500. For Gods
sake don't let the cruel mill get her

bly, will Go Over Till
the Regular Term.
UP BEFORE Committee
General Features AdminiStra-
ton Desires incorporated
Are Made Public.

Washington, April 23.-Currency re-
form legislation has been taKea up
for the first time by the full senate
committee on banking and currency.
Ii is believed that unless President
Wilson should insist there will be no
final action upon currency legislation
at the present session of congress.
Arrangements will be made for a
short series of hearings before the
senate committe to begin within a
few weeks, and there may be joint
hearings with the house committee.
Details of the plan of reform that is
to be presented with the Endorsement
of President Wilson are now being
worked out, but opinions expressed
at the committee meeting indicate
the democratic leaders probably
will not attempt, to press financial leg
islation to its final stages before the
December session.
FEATURES OF BILL.
1t is considered probable that the
bill when drafted will contain prac-
icaly the following features:
Fifteen district reserve banks
TO be fiscal agents for the gov
ernment, receiving deposits of
public moneys, acting as banks of
discount for the banks in their
respective districts and receiving
a part of the reserves of the
banks of the country.
Currency to be isued through
the district reserve banks. Prac-
tically all the capital stock of
k.sthsss ipstitgtiops q. well as any
accrufhgT profits would be the
property of the banks of each
district
A governing board to supervise
| the district reserve banks to be
established, to consist of the Sec
/ retary of the treasury, the secre-
| tary of agriculture and the comp
! troller of the currency, as ex-
! officio members; four directors
chosen by the banks of the coun-
! try and two directors appointed
/ by the president of the United
/ States.
REDEEMABLE IN GOLD.
Any notes isued to be redeem
able in gold by providing a re-
serve for actual gold redemption.
Those notes might be United
States notes advanced to the
banks upon an interest charge
high enough to prevent imitation,
or be bank notes under like con-
ditions- State banks would be
required to increase their re-
serves.
Use of reserves to be permit
ted under a reasonable tax
Rate of discount might be made
progressive by order of the gov
erning board when there was an
increasing demand for currency
so as to stiffen the open market
rate and attract gold somewhat
after the system used by the
Bank of England
