Smash the :'Money Trust"

The extraordinary revelation of j..
Pierpoint Morgan's power over twenty
five billion dollars of wealth in this
country brings an acute consciousness
Of the need for some reform of our
banking system which will check the
enormous concentration of wealth in
New York. Gotham is our greatest
commercial city, and there must al
ways be more wealth there so long as
it holds that commanding system.
That the amount OF wealth which is
concentrated there is so disproportion-
ate to the city's importance in the
financial scheme is due to our anti
quated banking system, under which
stocks and bonds are preferred to COM
mercial paper as a basis of credit, and
under which the idle funds Of country
banks flow to Wall street for specula-
tive uses. Mr.. Morgan regards the
enormous power vested in him as
personal trust, but we observe that he
has administered it to his personal pro-
fit. He has never been dishonest
about it. We can hardly say he has
been unpatriotic about it. He has
merely taken advantage OF the weak
nesses Of our banking system. 1t is
time to reform that system so that
Morgan's will become an impossibility.
Reform.

By an agreement reached between
the board OF regents of the University
of Washington and the Northern Pa
ciic Railroad Company, which will be
executed on February a, the contro-
versy between the regents and railroad
in which the city of Seattle was also
involved, is settled, and the right OF
way through the campus, the owner
ship of which was in dispute, will be
divided. The university secures 100
feet of the 2O0-foot strip, and the title
of the railroad to the remaining 80 feet
is confirmed. The railroad agrees to
fence the right of way and maintain
four concrete crossings. All members
of the board of regents were IN at
tendance when the matter was settled
to the mutual satisfaction OF both sides.

Brick Creates Sensation

Bremerton, Wash, Jan. %, 1913.
Bremerton, Wash, is the seat OF a
bitter conflict over the question oil
street Improvements.
The courts may be asked to investi-
gate the claim that faction Of the
city council has permitted the con-
tractor to use inferior material.
Speaking of the conflict, one Brem-
erton paper comments editorially:
Just how any body of men can i'm
agin that such tactics Imposing in
ferior materially can be imposed upon
a free people is hard to determine"
The real solution would be, it
seems, that the use Of some high class
paving, such as bitulithic, which is
giving uniform satisfaction elsewhere,
be specified and adhered to. g.

The enormous extent OF the natural
resources of the state OF washington
as concerns one material alone was
wildly presented at a court hearing IN
Seattle recently, where some lime
stone deposits were in dispute. George
Jamme, mining engineer, declared
that one small block in a single bed
at a depth of 500 feet contained 49,
600, 900 tons Of limestone tounda-
ton and that a very small portion was
enough to keep an ordinary cement
plant running fifty years. Referring
to one ledge in controversy, he sad
that, at a depth Of 1000 feet, it would
make available 100000, 900 tons Of
limestone and supply 1000 barrels

An Important Measure Relative to Clear
ing Land to be introduced in
State Legislature

One of the most important measures
that is likely to be introduced into the
state legislature this session is new
logged-off.land bill that was presented
before the legislature last week by
Howard Hanson, assistant corporation
counsel Of Seattle. 1t provides for the
creation Of local improvement districts,
similar to those now formed in cities
for street Improvements, and the clear
ing of land in these respective districts
by the respective counties. Bonds
are then to be issued against the prop
erty cleared and become practically
mortgage bonds on the land, payable
by the land owner, with interest, in
from ten to thirteen years. Any
owner or group of owners of adjoining
logged-off land, comprising more than
forty acres, may by petition have such
an improvement district created and
the land cleared under this plan. Mr..
Hanson's plan includes two additional
bills providing for the reforestation Of
land not suitable to agriculture.

General public approval has been
given the bill introduced into the state
Legislature providing for the expendi-
ture of 500, 900 for the exploitation Of
the state through a bureau of immigra-
ton and statistics, the purpose being
to advertise the state extensively prior
to the opening Of the Panama canal.
The measure was framed by Represen-
tative Victor Zednick, of King county.
The main purpose of this bill is to
have the state take measures to bring
the immigrant to this state to settle on
the agricultural lands. The bureau OF
immigration and statistics would make
an accurate and careful study OF all
conditions for farming on the logged-off
and irrigated lands of the state. The
plan, aside from giving accurate infor-
nation concerning farming conditions,
and thus drawing permanent and de-
sirable settlers, is to use a part OF this
money in creating influx of people
from congested cities to the farming
lands.

Robert Whittct, Jr, President of the Administrative Board,
former President of the Board of Aldermen, and prominent
business man, is known by the citizens of Richmond and of
Virginia probably better than any other man in public life.
He has served the city for twenty years, as Councilman, and
is now serving his first term as Commissioner. He won the
term, and has three years to serve. His long experience as
President of the Board Of Aldermen gave him the call over
the others IN the Administrative Board, and he was, without
opposition, chosen Chairman of that most important body.
During his long service in the Board Of Aldermen Mr.. Whittet
fathered many most important measures. lie was strong on
street improvements, and many Of the present street conditions
are due to the efforts of Mr.. Whittet. He was also on the
important Council Committee on Grounds and Buildings, which
had charge of the parks and public buildings.
As matter of fact, Mr.. Whittet acted on every Council. com
mittce of Importance, and he did this because he had always
proven himself a man of stamina and patriotic disposition.
lie was a member of the Sinking Fund Commission, and is
closer to the financial condition of the city of Richmond, prob
ably, than any other man.
Mr.. Whittet is a member of the Carnegie Library Committee
of Richmond, and is one of the most active men looking toward
the establishment of the library. He has urged the city to ac-
cent the Carnegie proposition. and has taken up much of his
time toward the propagation Of the public library scheme.
Mr.. Whittet is most charitable. He has done many things
which he does not wish the public to know. His dignity and
modestty almost overweight the right of the public 10 know what
the servants of the people are doing.
