collected in twelve places, and possi-
bly, that method might be sufficiently
effective to answer My Judgment is,
however. that it would be much more
effective, If it were all collected in
one reservoir.
That is one reason why favor \
central reserve association to carry
substantially all Of the reserves Of the
country.
Our circulation. made up Of gold,
silver, greenbacks and national bank
notes, is sudden mass which does not
issue and retire in response to busi-
ness demands and has comparatively
no relation to commercial needs. The
circulation of country should be
based on gold and prime commercial
paper. 1t should be issued and retired
automatically, governed by provisions
of the law regulating it's issue and
retirement.
In this detail, am not in accord
with the pending bill, which provides
that this important question as well
as many others shall be regulated and
determined by central board known
| as the reserve board.
This, / believe, might greatly en-
danger the stability Of our banking
and currency and credit systems which
are Of the most delicate nature and
should not be placed at the dictation
Of any body of men, either politicians
or bankers. There is no necessity
for doing this, for the law may easily
be drawn to regulate the power which
it is proposed to place In the hands
Of the reserve board.
l am opposed to the issuing of
money by the national government.
At present, substantially speaking, no
civilized nation is doing 1t, and for
many years every nation has been get
ting away from such . system, be-
lieving it to be bad practice which
might bring disastrous results. The
government should supervise and by
law ensure the safety Of all circula-
tion, but it should never issue II,
except in times of great distress such
as existed during the civil war.
There are several good points in
the pending bill. On the other hand,
details should be radically amended,
while the methods Of issuing circu-
lation, the reserves which It is pro-
posed to carry against It, and the
powers Of the board should b entire
ly changed in order to make the bill
satisfactory.

The death Of Mrs. Eugene Strawn
of Bayfield, is regarded in the sense
of personal loss by all old time
residents of the section. Aunt Hat
tie," as she was affectionately desig-
mated by her wide circle of acquaint-
ances, was 66 years of age. For the
past quarter of century the Pine
river valley has been the family home.

Strawn home were claimed by death
in their early life, but Mrs. Strawn's
maternal spirit was without limita-
tions, her life beautiful exemplifi-
cation of the spirit of universal moth
erhood.
Durango people were shocked last
night to hear Of the sudden death of
Mrs. Ray Henry, nee Anna Haffey, at
her home out ON the Moffat road.
Anna Haffey Henry left here happy
bride about year ago. Once since
her marriage she paid the old home a
visit. This was about three months
ago. To all outward appearances she
was enjoying her usual good health,
but it seems that the trouble which
caused her death had then commenced
to manifest itself, although not at
that time considered to be of a Sc
rious nature. That one so young, so
beautiful and bright and who had so
much to live for should be taken is
indeed strange. The father left for
the point where the young lady died
this morning. 1t is understood that
the remains will be brought here for
interment. The heart of every per-
son who knew the little lady goes
out in sympathy to the grief stricken
husband and parents.
