WALKER CURRENCY PLAN
SUBMITTED TO WILSON.
Well Known Editor Offers Substitute
For Complex Currency Systems.

John Brisben Walker, formerly
chairman of the Colorado state none
tary commission and whose reputation
as editor and publisher is nation wide
in character, has submitted plan deal
ing with the currency problem to Pres
ident Wilson which is far simpler than
any of the many hitherto offered to the
administration for consideration. In a
letter to the president, under date Of
July 2G, 1913, now made public for the
first time, Mr.. Walker points out that
the plan was previously presented as
a substitute for the Aldrich bill in
1911. He adds that it would be "cer-
tain in it's operation, quick of action,
lnfallible and requiring no political
pull"
Here is the plan as embodied in Mr..
Walkers letter to President Wilson:
"First.-Subject all commercial pa.
per accepted by the banks to a double
inspection, first by the government and
then by the clearing house, and stamp
o. x if so found.
"Second.-Permit any banker who
Mus Nt'iSCI VI Unexpected w
ais to go to the nearest subtreasury-
subtreasurieS to be established at con-
venient points throughout the country
and upon presentation of his inspect
ed and stamped commercial paper OBJ
tain from the government currency
amounting to 30 per cent of the face
value of the paper so presented.
"The bankers visit need not be
known to the public. his right to the
currency could not be questioned, there
would be no political influence re
quired, and the governments security
would be absolute. A high rate of in
terest would prevent undue imitation.
eff this plan appeals to you I will be
glad to send report prepared upon
the subject while acting as chairman
Of the Colorado state monetary COM
mission. But if 1t seems to you OBJ
scure or unworkable l will feel obliged
if you will so state in your answer,
that l may be able to lay stress upon
any points which may seem weak or
doubtful"

place, she said:
"While Il am not fond of publicity
about most of my affairs, 1 am not
averse to having it known that l am
deeply in earnest about protecting the
birds. l have been shocked to find
how rapidly the birds are disappear
ing right here in my own neighbor-

the wanton slaughter, and if possible,

Having ample leisure and a good

do what l could if appointed to stop

made two arrests already and am
ready to make more if it is necessary"
