MINORITY WILLING TO YIELD.
according to Mann, Republicans of
House Will Make No Fight Against
Currency Bill.


Washington, Aug. NO determin-
ed opposition to the administration
currency bill will be made, by Re-
puolicans in the house, according to
Mr.. Mann, minority leader. He de-
clared today that amendments pro-
posed by Democrats of the currency
committee would be supported and
that other amendments in the caucus
and the house would perfect the
measure so that many Republicans
would vote for it,
Representative Mann expressed the
opinion that while the house would
pass the bill at the extra session it
would be held up in the senate and
that an agreement probably would
postpone a final vote until the De-
cember session.
Chairman Owen OF the senate
banking committee introduced a bill
today to authorize the treasury to buy
outstanding per cent bonds from
banks at par and interest, il the banks
owning them so desire. The measure
is intended to prevent depreciation OF
the bonds.
Senator Owens pan is to cancel
outstanding gold certificates as they
come into the treasury; issue treasury
notes redeemablc in gold in their
stead; transfer the gold represented
by the gold certificates to the re-
demption division; cancel the per
cent bonds; issue per cent in their
stead and supplant national bank
notes with treasury notes.
The Owen bill is a distinct meas
are and has no direct relation TO the
administration currency bill now pro-
ceeding i'm the house.
Senator owen said his plan would
establish in this country great re-
demptiOn fund such as all other
countries F,ve and that this would
nave psychological effect in main
tanning financial stability. The re-
serve fund, he estimated. would thus
consist Of $1.236, 200, 900 of gold ana
SI3O,OOO,OOO in bonds or total re-
serve of 100000 against total
note issues Of $2,1G2, 900, 900.

TWELVE HOUSES TO THE ACRE
New Building Regulation That Has
Recently Been Put In Opera
ton in England.

On Monday, June Q, the first town
planning scheme under John Burns
town-planning act of 1909 became op-
erative. Before doing so it had TO
pass through various stages OF ap-
proval by the local government board,
and also to run the gauntlet of the
houses OF parliament.
The plan thus approved concerns
1920 acres in the suburbs of Birm-
ingham, upon which according to the
law as established by these various
authorities, not over IL houses to the
acre may be erected. This measns
that, at about five persons to the
house, this suburb, laid out on the
best OF lines, with open space in
abundance, will accommodate about
10000 persons.
In most American cities twostory
houses are erected about 40 to the
acre. and the average number OF in
dividuals is five and two-tenths.
This would mean a crowded popula-
ton of 4S2,560 on the area of 1920
acres.

The lawyer looked at the witness
with fine scorn.
And yet you pretend to come here
and qualify as an expert! How can
you give any kind of an opinion on
how much this building ought to have
cost when you don't know the prices
of the material it's made of?'
The witness looked at the lawyer
with a flash in his eye that boded i'll.

PARKS NO LONGER A LUXURY
Not Only Health Necessity. But Con-
stitute a Most important
Civic Asset.

One OF the latest cities TO secure
general plan reports, joining in with
the leading American cities in secur-
ing such general schemes OF develop
ment, is New London. Conn. The re-
port, presented by John Nolan, of Cam
bridge, formerly OF Philadelphia, con-
tains the following reasons why New
London and every city should acquire
parks:
There are at least four reasons
why New London should now act in a
large way in acquiring and improving
land for use as parks and Fairgrounds.
1) Property is steadily increasing in
value II is not likely to be cheaper
than il is now. (2) Once bought, park
lands increase in value. All other pub
lie works depreeiate Parks appreci-
ate 90 Parks pay for themselves. or
more than pay for themselves, by ma
king new real estate values. Some ex-
amples in support of this statement
are given in the appendix. (4) A sound
park policy, vigorously pushed by pub
lie authority. soon brings rich gifts
from private individuals. The history
of American city parks furnishes much
evidence in support of this tendency.
Cities that own few parks seldom re-
ceive gifts of parks On the other
hand. cities like Hartford. Conn, that
have a long and honorable record in
public park-making, have an equally
long and honorable record of private
gifts for parks.
Parks are no longer considered a
luxury by growing American cities.
They are classed with streets and
sewers and schools as a necessity.
They contribute directly to health and
efficiency, to pleasure and economic
wealth. Moreover, they stir and nour-
ish civic pride"

THE PLAN IS NOT CHARITY.
Easlport Does Want Community Christ

ditor Evening Capital:

kOuutluuiChbeusI
Editor Evening Capital:
/ am sorry to see letter in your
paper from Samuel G. Gardner stat
inc that Eastport does not want a
Community Christmas Tree am
positive that such statement is un-
true, and that Mr.. Garner has no au-
thority to make it on behalf of the
people OF Eastport.
To prove that Mr.. Garner is igno-
rant (as to the subject that his letter
refers) and as l understand the
meaning of the proposed Christmas
tree for the people and the children
of Eastport, it does not mean "a plan
of charity" at all But it does mean
plan of re joicing and of giving
thanks to Almighty God for the bless
iugs that we are now enjoying; and
it means singing carols with Yule-
tide spirit, and Christmas hymns,
and causing the dear little children
to be happy end to enjoy tn hsmselves.
will some other mother be good
enough to come forward. and thus
show the people that we would very
much like to have q real Community
Chri stmas Tree for everyone at East
port this year.

to close his shop and leave the town.
