Redisoountable Paper.

One objection the small banker i.
making to the Glass-Owen banking bill
is to its provision that commercial pa.
per must be within forty five days oi
! maturity before it may be rediscounted
with the District Reserve Banks. The
country bank, he says, does not carry
shorttime paper, and could not avail it.
self of the rediscounting privilege.
This criticism is due either to short
sightedness, or it is grounded in error.
The provision is not that the paper must
be forty-five-day paper, but that it must
be within forty-five days of maturity. 1t
may be six-month paper. The country
banker, therefore, having paper nearing
maturity in his portfolio. and needing
funds for the further accom- modation OF
his clients, need only take that paper
within forty-five days or less of maturi-
ty up to his district bank to obtain those
funds. Every bank has such paper con-
tinually nearing maturity.
1t is obvious that when banker stands
in need of a rediscount, he selects for
the purpose that paper nearest maturi-
ty, because from that time forward he
loses his profit on this interest
which thenceforward rebounds to the
district bank. 1t would be species of
folly for him to discount ninety-day pa
per, even if that were possible, when he
had thirty-day paper at hand.
In England, France and Germany,
which have rediscount markets, the av-
erage length of time rediscounted paper
has to run is under thirty days. Con-
sidering England separately, it averages
eighteen days.
We fail to see why the small banker
should object to this sane and just pro-
vision of the Glass Owen measure.

The Government Getting
Better.

Champ Clark, Speaker of the House
OF Representatives, in speech on the
4th of July before the law school of the
University OF Virginia, voiced the senti-
ment of most thinking people in the
opinion that the government is gradual
ly growing better Mr.. Clark said
Government is an experimental
science, not an exact science. We have
not attained perfection, but we are grad
ually, if slowly, approximating it. The
only way to approach it is to make such
changes in the constitution and laws as
our experience demonstrates should be
made. To stand still is to stagnate; to
stagnate is to die.
while there is nothing new in this it
is true in every particular. The consti-
tuition of the United States as it was
drawn a century and quarter ago was
perhaps the most remarkable document
of its time. 1t was not perfect. 1t was
the result of compromise between men
of monarchial tendencies like Hamilton
and Democrats of the jefferson type. AS
we get farther and farther away from
kings and emperors and from the cant
and toaddyism of royalty, we see pro-
visions in our laws that seemed liberal
hundred years ago that are not suffi-
ciently broad to meet the modern ten
denotes.
The government is gradually growing
better because it is growing more liber-
al Experience is teaching the. people
that they can govern themselves better
than any class or division of citizens can
do it for them. The progress of govern
ment is being shown by the general
adoption of direct primaries and by such
reforms as that of the direct election of
U. s. Senators. Other and greater re-
forms will follow. The people are wax
ing up to the truth that they should Sc
lect their own officials, discharge them
at will when they are incompetent and
make their own laws"

Col. Thomas Jefferson Smith, State
Banking Commissioner. who frequently
comes to Louisville on business connec-
ted with the liquidation of the CONNER
cial Bank & Trust Co., is feeling mighty
chestY over the showing made by his de.
partment for the first year of its exist
ence, and says the results have shown
the wisdom of the act creating the State
Banking Department. Col. Smith has
three years yet to serve as the head OF
the department, and as he finds the
work congenial, it is hardly likely that
he would relinquish the job to accept
any other in the State service.-Louis-
