The regional reserve banks are
permitted to pay dividends to the
amount of per cent per annum.
The earnings in excess of the sum
required for this purpose are di-
vided between the surplus fund Of
the bank and the national govern
ment After the surplus fund is
equal to 20 per cent of the capital
of the reserve bank, all the excess
earnings go to Uncle Sam.
DIsCoURAGING GAMBLING.
Ample provision is made to pre-
vent the concentration of money in
the large financial centers, where it
is used for speculative purposes.
On the other hand, every facility is
offered to enable the business man
and farmer to secure the accommo-
dations needed to meet the de-
mands of his business or to move
his crops.
Secretary of the Treasury No
Adoo gave a striking illustration
the other day of how the bill will
work.
Certain interests sought to intlu-
ence the course of tariff legislation
by creating tight" money mar
ket. Word went out from Wall
street that the usual accommoda-
tions could not be granted. Prices
began to fall on the stock exchanges
and the country was confronting n
most serious situation.
"We will teach this schoolmas-
ter, Wilson, lesson" said the big
financiers.
The situation and the manner in
which it was met are most graph
ically described as follows by W.
G. Nicholas, one of the foremost
writers on financial subjects con-
nected with the Eastern press:
"The banks had plenty of money
on hand, but were giving open and
somber currency to dark talk about
tight money and the need of ex-
oessive caution in making loans.
Frightened borrowers were only
too willing to pay liberal commits
sions' for back-door accommoda-
tions, and for weeks there were fat
pickings for none too sorupulous
crop of brokers of influence in
Shylock manipulation. The prac-
tice had grown to the proportions
of greedy scandal and threatened
the safety of the financial situa-
ton.
"And then, 10, upon the stage
sauntered the quiet and homely
figure of Mr.. MoAdoo, Secretary of
the Treasury. Mr.. McAdoo an
nounced that he had $5OO,OOO,OOO
in currency in Uncle Sans strong
box, and that he was prepared to
place it where it would do the
most good.
"The panic mills ceased grind
ing, the tumult of approaching dis
aster changed to inspiring music
and sunshine superseded darkness"
The law Mr.. McAdoo operated
under is an emergency measure
u make-shift passed after the panic
of 1907. The new Wilson. Bryan
banking and currency bill will en-
able the administration to do for
any section of the country what
MoAdoo did for the New Workers.
Under this law the various re-
gional reserve banks may assist
each other in times of stress, but
when the strain becomes too great
for their resources then Uncle
Sam through the federal reserve
board-will step in and furnish the
needed relief.
Ono Can underatand why tho

the government?
In the last analysis that is the
issue involved in President Will
sons demand that Congress shall
shed its coat and collar and grap-
pie with the banking and currency
problem.
1t is not pleasant task, for
down here in the nations capital
1t Is several degrees hotter than
even my friend Dave Days con-
oeption of the hereafter which
awaits the representatives of the
sugar trust, but it is task which
the Democracy is under heavy OBJ
legations to perform.
For twenty years the politicians
have been dodging this banking
and currency issue. The mighty
Roosevelt avoided it as carefully as
he did the equally urgent but the
equally dangerous issue of tariff
revision. The phlegmatic Taft
leaned to the Aldrich plan, but
lacked the nerve to press it vigor-
ously. Wilson, who approaches
issues as he does men, without
trepldation or equivocation, recog-
nized that tariff reform and cur
rency reform were inextricably
bound up, and that to legislate on
one and ignore the other was to
give the people half a loaf when
they were entitled to full meal
That the Democratic majority in
Congress is in hearty accord with
the President on this matter has
been convincingly demonstrated
by recent events. Difference of
opinion will develop over the de-
tails of the scheme, earnest dis
cussion will be heard in and out of
caucus, but the Wilson. Bryan cur
rency bill will, follow the Under
wood tariff bill through both houses
of the national Legislature.
Whatever our opponents may
say to the contrary, the Demo-
cratic congressional majority is a
united, fighting force, led by skilled
and trusted captains, and we are
going to write the principles of the
Baltimore platform on the statute
books of the nation.
TWO CURRENCY SCHEMES.
What is the Wilson-Bryan cur
rency scheme and wherein does it
differ from the Aldrich currency
bill, to which the Republican party
is committed in 80 far as that party
has taken any stand on this ques-
tion?
Stripped of legal verbiage-
which is Sanskrit to the ordinary
layman-the Aldrlch bill concen-
trated the power to issue money
and the control of our banking
facilities in the hands of the direc-
tors of few great financial insti-
tutions in New York and Chicago.
For all practical purposes, Uncle
Sam surrendered to these emperors
of the financial world his sovereign
right to make money. They de-
termined how much money was
needed to move the crops and
transact the business OF the nation.
They could make money tight
or easy" as they saw tit or their
interests dictated.
Under the Aldrich system the
Morpans and Rockefellers could
manufacture panics to order, just
as they did in 1907.
Under the Wilson-Bryan bill all
the power vested in the big bank,
ers by the Aldrich bill is reserved
to the people of the United States
to be exercised by their represent.

tnat COmmlttee Consisting vi sho
Secretary of the Treasury, the Sec
retary of Agriculture and the
Comptroller of the Currency shall
divide the country into twelve
parts or regions" for the purpose
of banking operations. In each
region" federal reserve bank
shall be organized. The national
and state banks in that region shall
subscribe to the capital stock OF
the reserve bank to the amount of
20 per cent of their capital. These
regional reserve banks are to be
controlled by board of directors
Of nine mbers-three to be So
lected by the member banks"
three to represent the agricultural
and industrial interests of the re-
gion and three to be named by the
federal reserve board. This federal
reserve board is the real keystone
of the arch, and this is where the
influence of William j. Bryan ap-
pears.
The federal reserve board con-
sists of seven members-the Sec
retary of the Treasury, the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, the Comptroller
of the Currency and four men to
be named by the President. The
bankers are clamoring for repre-
sentation on this board, but Bryan
insists that the people, through
their government, must retain alb
solute control. The wisdom of
Bryan's position is apparent when
one considers the power vested in
this board. 1t is clothed with ex-
traordinary discretion in the matter
of supervising and directing all
the federal reserve banks, and
through them every state and ma
tional bank in the country.
In addition it is authorized to
issue and to lend to the federal re-
serve banks national currency to
the amount of $500, 100000 and so
much more as may be necessary to
take the place of the national bank
notes, which will be gradually re-
tired under the provisions of this
bill.
With the people in control Of
the federal reserve board, they will
be masters of the banking situa-
ton. And that is as it should be,
for the men who control the money
of a country must of necessity be

TAXES.

The attention of the country is be-
1ns directed to certain clauses OF the
rronosed income tax which relates to
insurance taxation. In the bill All
fr~,ternal and other similar insurance
societies are exempted from taXaton'
hit other companies, not excepting
those organized on a mutual basis,
are subjected to a tax OF one per eeht
of their net revenues. Representatives
NJ these companies are protestlns
against what they hold is unjust DIS
illumination against them. The mu-
final insurance company. whether con-
ducted as a lodge or otherwise, Is n
which returns to its policy holders all
its income except that required to pay
the cost of operation. There are sew
eral such companies doing immense
business. and having policy holders
numbering many thousands. 1t does
not appear lust thai a part Of the rev.
enues Of these companies should be
taken in the form of taxes while oth-
, er companies whose plan of operation
Is essentially the same are not taken
at all.
There is one feature about the whole
system Of insurance taxation which
IS often overlooked. That is that
whatever the tax be that is imposed
either directly or indirectly. it falls ul-
timately on the policy holders. In
this state and in most others there
is 4 state tax on insurance premiums
collected within the state. That tax
Is paid. every cent of it, by the policy
holders. 1t cannot be otherwise. The
abandonment of the tax will not do. Of
course, because for the security of the
public there must be some super
vision over the work of insurance
companies, and if this tax were not
levied it would be necessary to pay
the expenses of the insurance depart
ment out Of b general fund, which
would be improper. The tax on in
ought to be levied, but it
should not be only large enough to
paw the cost Of the insurance depart
ment, so that the department will be
self-sustaining. The policy holders
should bear all the cost of their in
surance, including necessary SUPER
vision by public authority. but they
should not, under this head. be asked
to pay any more.

him and said he would watch out,
