PETTY LEGISLATION
|SNOT THE WISH OF
ALABAMA S0L0NS
Special Session Should Be
for Business Purposes
Only Is the Sentiment
Among Legislators

Admission, November 1.-(SpeciaL)-A
week ago the Admission Star of this city
mailed out letters to all the members OF
the two houses of the Alabama Legislature
asking them if they would be willing to
extraordinary session, to the providing
of machinery for the election of q United
States senator under the terms of the
seventeenth amendment and the enact
ment of legislation to relieve the stats
financial embarrassment, and up to Sat-
urday morning replies had been received
from one-third of the state lawmakers.
Only three of those who have so far re-
piled to the Stars interrogatories seem in
cined to believe that the governor has the
right to make an appointment. They are
Senator V. B. Atkins and Representatives
Pitts Of Selma, Dallas county, and J..
B. Ragland of Dadeville. The last named
would have the governor make an ap-
pointment to hold until the next general
election under authority conferred by the
legislature
Special Session Badly Wanted
The replies in hand lead to the con-
cluSlOIS that u special scs7ioii 10 pduiy
wanted by the members of the legislature.
There are 12 who would be willing to
confine their efforts to the programme
mapped out by the Star and 10 others who
favor these two matters, but would also
have the governor include in his call the
aboliishment 81 the fee system in Jeffer-
son county, financial relief for munici-
palities and the abolition of some unneces-
sary offices, this last being specifically
stated by Walker Percy of Jefferson. Mr..
Percy, T. H. Motion. Lee Morrow and
Fleetwood Rice of Jefferson and Tusca-
loosa counties stress the matter of muni-
fcipal taxation.

Senate Banking Committee
Spends Hours Debating
the Problem
NO AFFIRMATIVE
ACTION is TAKEN
Hope for Unanimous Report From
Committee Hinges Upon Ques-
tion, Is Claim of Lead
ing Members

washington, November LA snsrl was
reached today in the running discussion
of the administration currency bill by
the Senate banking committee. when the
committee spent hours In debating the
capitalization and control of the four
regional banks tentatively proposed to
administer the new system. The debate
at times waxed vociferous and the COM
mittee adjourned tonight until wednes-
day without affirmative action on the
question.
Several members took the position that
hope for unanimous report from the
committee hinged upon the question of
the control OF the regional banks which
may lie either in the government or in
the member banks The supporters of
the strict governmental control theory
declared they would combat any bank
control of the banks even to fight on
the floor of the Senate. Administration
supporters in the committee adhered to
the plan in the administration bill as 1t
came from the House, by which the banks
would elect six directors of each regional
bank. and the federal reserve board would
appoint three. The board. however, would
| have the power to remove three of the
bank directors.
Reject Proposition
| The committee rejected a proposition
advanced by Senator Hitchcock, by which
the entire system would be capitalized
at 800, O0O,0 900, to be subscribed by the
banks underwriting the stock and selling
| it to the public. This $100000.000 would
| be under the absolute control of the fed
eral board, which would distribute II
among the iegional banks as conditions
warranted. The committee voted THIS
down to e.
Senator O'Gorman proposed that each
regional bank be capitalized at 10 per
| cent OF the national bank capital In the
| district which 1t served, and that each
bank control it's own capital. He sug-
gested two means of securing the capi-
| tai. The first would require the banks
to underwrte the stock and offer 1t to
the public. The second would require
the banks to subscribe the amount of 8
per cent of their capital stock, and would
leave the remainder open to public sub
scription. Senator O'Gormans plan was
not disposed of today.
The committee deferred further meet
ing until Wednesday, owing to the alb
sence of several members who have left
| Washington on account of the elections.
