again pay out the notes of another, eX-
cept under heavy tax. These notes are
expected to return to the Regional
banks. and be withdrawn from circula-
ton when the need for their use passes.
None of the existing forms of curren-
cy except the national banks notes, will
be disturbed by the new law. The United
States bonds, now used to secure the is
sue of national bank notes. are to be
taken up at the rate of s25, 100000 a year
by the regional reserve banks and new
treasury notes, or short term per cent.
bonds will take their place. National
bank currency is expected gradually to
retire.
The Federal Reserve Board will ex-
ercise final control over the entire opera
ton of the system. It can compel one
Regional Bank to loan to another in
time of need; can suspend all restrictions
surrounding the reserves which Regional
banks must hold; and can remove direc-
tors of Regional Reserve banks when
ever it is believed necessary. While the
banks retain control of the boards of the
Regional Reserve banks, their connection
with the Federal Reserve Board is only
through an Advisory Council, made up
of one representative from each Federal
Reserve district This council will meet
in Washington. to confer with the Fed
eral Reserve Board, "on general business
conditions" and to make recommehda-
tions and suggestions concerning dis
count rates, note issues and reserve con-

New York, Dec. 22.--Dr. Anna How
ard Shaw, the Suffrage leader, de-
clares that the year 1913 has been the
greatest and luckiest year" in the
history of the movement for votes for
women. During the year now draw
ing to a close, she said yesterday,
woman suffrage had been taken out
the primary stage and was now III
the realms of practical politics. Men"
she said. ARE coming over to the be-
lief that women ought to vote
Besides winning in Illinois and Alas
ka this year, she cited the appoint
ment of the Senate committee on suf-
frage as one of the greatest victories
ever won for the cause. She saw
much TO encourage Suffrage workers
because of the action of President
Wilson in recommending a House
committee on Suffrage.
For 1914, DIR. Shaw has mapped out
campaigns in Nevada. North Dakota,
South Dakota and Montana, where the
Legislatures have passed Suffrage
amendments to the state constitutions
that will be submitted to the voters
for approval.
There is just as much work to be
done in New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michi-
gan" DR.. Shaw said. THE legisla-
lures of these states have passed suf-
frage bills. The Wisconsin bill was
vetoed by Governor McGovern, who
afterward offered to reconsider it.
Wisconsin must be ready for the next
governor and is a campaign state. The
Michigan bill was defeated by the vot
ers. The New Jersey bill will have to
be introduced over again because It
was not properly published. In New
York, Pennsylvania and Iowa, the
Legislatures will have to ratify the ac-
ton of 1918 before the amendments

portation OF dangerous articles on
freight vessels, the report recommends
that the law be amended to give the
service control over the entire situa-
tion with authority to make regula-
tons covering the water transporta-
tion of dangerous articles.
The first supervising inspection dis
trict embraces all waters and rivers of
the United States west of the Rocky
Mountains and the Hawaiian Islands.
The territory covered is enormous,
and, therefore, recommendation is
made that the work of this district be
divided, that the supervising inspector
at San Francisco he required to super
wise only the local districts of San
Francisco, Lon Angeles, and Honolulu,
and that new supervising inspector
be station in Seattle, Wash, to super
wise the local districts of Seattle,
Portland. Ore, St. Michael and
Juneau, Alaska.
The work of this service has become
so greatly varied that the name
"Steamboat-Insp Service no lon
ger describes correctly its activities.
Therefore it is recommended that the
name be changed to marine inspection
service.

SUMMARY OF THE BILL.
Continued from Page One0

new system; and one years time is
allowed before the government will
compel the dissolution of any national
bank that refuses to join.
The new law will make little direct
change in the operation of the present
national banks, except to allow them
to loan a certain amount of their
funds upon farm mortgages. Its chief
purpose is to add a new piece of ma
chnery to the banking system that
will take up the slack" during the
changing business conditions of each
year: that will give the banks a place
TO quickly convert their assets into
cash in time of need, and that will
bring out new federal currency whea
it is needed, and retire it when money
becomes cheap"
Banks are now required to keep a
certain percentage of their deposits as
reserves" part in cash in their own
vaults and part of which may be re-
deposited in the banks of New York,
Chicago, St. Louis and other designat-
cd cities. in times of sudden financial
demands, when banks have loaned up
to the full limit of their resources,
these reserves furnish little relief, be
cause if they are paid out to meet de-
mands. the banks are left in a pre-
carious condition.
The basic principle of the new law
is to get these reserve funds out into
circulation when necessary, without
lessening the safety of any bank; and
to provide a place to which local banks
may rush in a crisis and get cash
for the prime commercial paper" they
hold in their vaults.
This is to be accomplished through
a chain of Regional Reserve Banks,
or reservoirs of reserves" in which
all banks shall deposit a stated part
of the money they are required to
hold as reserves. Under the new sys-
TEN, when a financial furry comes, the
banks can take commercial paper, such
as notes, drafts and bills of exchange,
| to these reservoirs" and secure the
use Of their own reserves, or if nec-
essary even the reserve of other banks,
| by depositing this security.
The now regional banks will receive
| about one-half of the bank reserves
of the country. They, in turn, will
be permitted to loan back to the banks
all but 35 per cent of these reserves,
so that in case of emergency, millions
of cash can be brought out into circu-
lation quickly. The banks will have to
pay for these loans, however, as in
dividuals have to pay for a loan from
any local bank; and this charge is
