New Currency Bill

The demand throughout the
country for currency legislation is
so pressing that President Wilson
and Leader Underwood have prac.
tically agreed that measure of
financial relief should pass the pres
ent session of congress. The most
important feature of the new cur
rency bill will pc provision en-
abling national banks to deposit
as security state, county and mu-
nicipal bonds in the United States
treasury, which will then issue to
them bank notes for circulation up
to seventy per cent of the value of
bonds. This will introduce a large
amount of elasticity into our cur
rency. Heretofore national banks
could only secure bank notes for
circulation and for loans by deposit
ing government bonds as security.
Furthermore, many of the restric-
tions for the loaning of money by
national banks will be removed,
thereby giving them greater free
dom in affording relief to the bust
ness and commercial interests in
their respective communities. Hon.
Carter Glass of Virginia, chairman
of the committee on banking and
currency, has formulated an elias
tic currency bill on which he and
Leader Underwood, President Will
son and Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo are in complete accord.
When the new democratic tariff
bill and the new democratic curren-
cy bill have been put into opera
ton, this country will enjoy the
greatest era of prosperity it has
ever known; and, what is more i'm
portant still, that prosperity will
be equitably distributed among all
classes of industrious and enter
prising American people.

LIBBY TAKES TROY INTO CAMP 7---6

The second baseball game of the
season on the home grounds re-
suited in victory for Libby, the
score standing 7 to s. Troy suf-
fered defeat the week before and
had strengthened their team to take
a fall out of the Libby bunch but
did not quite cut the mustard. The
game started off with Troy getting
four runs in the first inning and
Libby capturing goose egg. In
the second inning Libby got one
score and returned the goose egg
to Troy. Troy got one run in the
third and one in the seventh.
Libby took two in the third and
four in the ninth. When Libby
came to bat in the last inning the
game stood three to six in favor of
Troy and 1t looked as if the home
team had suffered defeat. But it
was not to be. Mollett had taken
Stones place earlier in the game
and was the first man up. He
picked one aud started the bali

CITY DADS in SESSION

The city council met in solemn
session Tuesday night. A number
of bills were audited and ordered to
be paid. The Libby Herald bill
for work done in the month of May
was tabled.
The printing con tract with the
Western News was accepted by the
council. The matter should have
been attended to before it was ever
signed by the mayor; but the coun-
Gil was in such a hurry to perpetu-
ate the blunder made tha it had
no time for a trifling matter of this
sort.
Collinson & Stewart were award
ed contract to move the fire bell
tower and the engine house for $40.
Upon investigation it was found
that the city had possession of two
sets of Offices for the month of June,
the lease on the old quarters not
running out until the end of July
and the lease on the new quarters
taking effect June I. This was
news to most of the council. It
seems that they had forgotten that
lease existed on the old quarters.
Mr.. Blackford was present and
jumped into the breach very nicely,
offering to donate the rent money
for the month of June so that the
city would not be paying for two
places.
Herman Bockman made grand
stand play Oh the salary question
and offered to donate his salary to
the city, This is commendable
action on the part of Mr.. Bockman;
the Herald only wishes to suggest
that he should have made this move
long ago. Does Herman's asser-
tion that "a man working for no.
thing will grab enough to make
oOOd ca1or> coma other yuovo an
ply in this case. We fervently
hope not.

PLAYGROUND FUN
DURING HOLIDAYS
Gifts TO Aid Celebration Will
Help Needy Youngsters to
Enjoy Yule-Tide.

Many persons have taken advan-
tage of the Christmas fund for the
Playground Commission celebrations
to bring Yuletide cheer to Newark
youngsters. The youngsters are
bound to have lots of fun at the vari-
Gus celebrations during the holiday
period and their happiness will be
added to by each contribution.
The leaders in the movement have
received more than 500 in subscrip-
tions, also many gifts of toys, caps
and other wearing apparel. Several
of the play leaders have arranged to
have Christmas trees set up at the
various Fairgrounds.
Not only are money contributions
acceptable, but candy, nuts and other
delicacies of the season or articles of
clothing will be received by either the
Evening Star or j. Leonard Mason,
secretar of the commission, at the
City Hall.
There are a number of children who
are likely to share in little of the
Christmas cheer aside from what the
Playground Commission is able to do,
with the help of contributors.

TEST FOR NEW
WILSON TARIFF
Mrs. Alexander Removed Dia-
monds from Settings TO Es-
cape Duty.

HOBOKEN, Dec. 20.-It Is expect
ed that the nominal charge against
Robert T. Heitmeyer, wealthy leather
manufacturer of this place. and Mrs.
q. NJ Alexander. who have been
accused before the Federal Grand
Jury with an attempt to smuggle into
this country jewels to the value of
$500. will prove a test for the new
Wilson tariff Mr.. Heitmeyer and
Mrs. Alexander. who has been named
in Mrs. Heitmeyer's suit for divorce,
arrived hero from Europe on the
steamship France on November %.
The case under consideration in
wolves 6 number of jewels, among
them a lavalliere, containing two
brilliants and twenty-one smaller
diamonds, the purchase price of
which is said to have been 1900. The
gems had been removed from their
settings and sent from the Paris
branch of Tiffany & Co.. to their New
York house.
According to the provisions of the
tariff, unset jewelry can be brought
into this country upon a payment of
a duty of 10 per cent: on manufac-
tured jewels a duty of so per cent is
imposed. 1t will not rest with the
Grand Jury to determine whether
articles of jewelry can be dismounted
in Europe and brought into this coun-
try as unset valuables, for the Dur
pose of avoiding the payment of the
60 per cent duty, without violating
the customs laws. Heads of the
larger jewelry importing houses of
New York have expressed 1t as their
opinion that there Is nothing in the
tariff law which would make this
procedure Illegal.
