FIREWORKS ON
CURRENCY BILL
OPENS IN HOUSE

WASHINGTON. Sept. 10.-Oratori.
cal display attending the passage Of
the administration currency bill
through the house began to-day. with
a series OF speeches for and against
the measure. The general discussion
will continue throughout day and
night sessions OF the house until Sat
urday evening. Next week the bill
viii be taken up in detail.
Chairman Glass OF the banking and
currency committee. father of the bill:
Representative Hayes. OF California,
Republican ranking member OF the
committee. and Representative Muir
dock. OF Kansas. Progressive floor
leader. opened the debate for their
respective parties. Chairman Glass
presented the bill as a positive cure
for the financial Ills of the country,
Representative Hayes admitted the
value of some OF the bills provisions.
and Representative Murdoch criti-
cized the measure as hating. timid.
half way. compromising
The greater part OF to-day's Re-
publican opposition to the bill, voiced
by Representative Hayes and Repre-
sentative Dyer. OF Missouri. was
based upon the provisions of the
measure requiring that national banks
subscribe 20 per cent OF their capital
stock and per cent of their deposits
as a fund to capitalize the federal
reserve banks The return on this
Investment per cent under the bill
the Republicans declared was not
sufficient profit to induce the banks
to enter the system. The broad pow
ers OF the federal reserve board and
it's partisan political complexion"
were also criticized.
