Wilson Has Plan for
Modified Futures Tax.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-House
and Senate conferees on the tariff will
begin consideration of the few items
in dispute to- day with the expectation
that agreements soon will be reached.
Passage of the tariff bill necessarily
will be delayed for at least a week,
owing to the agreement of the con-
ferees to disagree on the cotton flu
lures taxation section.
1t is believed that President Will
son has advised the COnferees to re-
port a disagreement with the ex-
pectation that the House then will
initiate a modified form of taxation
on cotton futures which the Senate.
reCeding from the extreme position
taken in the Clarke cotton futures
taxation amendment, will accept.
Such an agreement was impossible in
conference because the Senate con-
ferees felt themselves to be bound by
the complete support given the Clarke
amendment by the Senate.

HOWARD BILL To
RETIRE BONDS
INTRODUCED
Georgia Congressman Says His
Plan Solves Currency Puzzle and
Cuts Interest Farmers Pay.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Repre-
sentative William Schley Howard, OF
Georgia, to-day introduced a bill to
accomplish the plan he submitted TO
the House the other day to settle one
Of the most troublesome problems in
the new currency bill-the retirement
of the 500. 100000 2 per cent bonds
securing national bank notes and the
refunding OF this bonded indebted
ness.
The bill provides for the refunding
OF the outstanding national bank 2
per cent bonds with postal savings
bonds distributed to the people. These
bonds will bear 2 per cent interest,
will be payable at the Treasury OF
the United States and will be cur
rent and cashable anywhere within
the United States
1t provides also that 95 per cent
of the sum so collected through the
postal savings banks system may be
placed in the State and national
banks I'm the vicinity in which the
postal savings are accumulated on
condition that the deposits do not
exceed in any institution the capital
stock and one half OF the surplus OF
the institution
The deposits thus made by the Gov
eminent are to draw 21-2 per cent
interest.
As the bonds sold at retail to the
people will draw per cent and the
Government will receive 21-2 per
cent. the additional IL per cent will
be used to pay the expenses of the
entire system, and Mr. Howard thinks
this will be done with plenty OF mar
gin to spare.
one Of the important results OF
he plan, in Mr. Towards opinion
will be a reduction in the rate Of in
terest charged by the banks OF the
country on loans.
Whereas, the farmers Of Georgia
must now pay s per cent when they
borrow money from the banks" said
Mr.. Howard to-day, they will be
able to get it at 6 per cent If my
bill goes into effect"

it the fashionable slant. and posed

under piece is not closed at the back,
and by this arrangement the skirt,
which seems to hang in so closely
about the ankles, still gives room for
easy walking.
There is no attempt at even hanging
about the bottom of skirts these days.
They are correctly draped when the
uneven-hanging caused by drapery is
allowed to speak for itself as a part
of the play. There is a bodice of bro
