Banking Committee
TAKE POSITIVE STAND
Bankers Firm Against Feasibility of
Amy Issue of Government Notes
Secured by Partial
Reserve

Washington, September 6.-The Senate
banking committee wandered from the
provisions of the administration currency
reform bill today, and delved into theo-
retical discussions of plans for currency
revision which has found favor with
some of it's members. Plans to refund
the entire present issue of government
notes with a general federal currency Sc
cured only by a so per cent gold reserve
and proposals to amend the present Aid
rich -Vreeland emergency currency act,
formed the basis for much of the ques-
tioning of James B. Forgan and George
H. Reynolds of Chicago, Sol Wexler of
New Orleans and Professor Sprague of
Harvard university.
The Senate committee had not completed
Its hearings when adjournment came to-
night Hearings probably will be ex-
tended through next week.
The administration bill will be taken
into the House Monday with a favorable
report from the majority of the House
banking committee and debate will begin
early in the week.

Files Minority Report

Representative Lindbergh of Minnesota,
progressive member of the committee, to-
day filed a minority report criticizing
many features of the bill.
The bankers before the Senate commit
tee took a positive stand today against
the feasibility of any issue of govern
ment notes secured only by a partial gold
reserve. and put out as the direct OBJ
legation of the government They referred
with emphasis to the days of ''fiat money
to show that the governments credit
might easily be impaired, and that 1t
might be put into an embarrassing posi-
tion by heavy demands for payment OF
gold on its notes.
Mr. Forgan and Mr.. Reynolds were ex-
cused by the committee early in the aft
ernoon with the understanding that they
would answer questions of committee
members by correspondence. Mr.. Wex-
Ter remained as the representative of the
committee appointed at the recent bank

Notifications Needed

In general discussion of the adminis-
tration bill. Professor Sprague of HarA ard
university said he believed the system of
regional reserve banks proposed by the
bill. with some notifications, would b
fairly satisfactory.
Professor Sprague said publicity such
as would center about the operations ol
the federal reserve board would prevent
that board from going very far wrong,
whether or not it had representatives OF
the banking inteests upon it.
Il don't care what kind of a central
bank we might have. do not believe It's
powers could be much abused" he said
Members of the federal reserve board
should be chosen primarily for heir
bumps of caution" he said. Ills CHIEF
objection to plan for the direct issue oi
currency by the government was that il
would set up an institution that would
have a large power toward the over ex-
tension of credits.

which had been supported for thirty
years by the public-spiriteu people of

FOR RAIN.

In Wichita Kans, Sunday, they pray
"a for rain in all the churches. They pray
ed for it because they believed the need
Tor 1t was great, and because they could
not produce it themselves. There must
have been plenty of the very finest kind
of hard headed worldly philosophy at the
command of those people to show them
how absurd it was to pray for rain.
Wherever two or three persons are ga
thered together in any community there
must surely be at least one man who can
explain to the rest of the group the eN-
ceeding futiIity of asking the Lord to med
die with the sacred cog wheels, nuts,
bolts, screws, bands and fly wheels of his

it is all done, by the immutable process

cold, damp and moist are parts of hte

prove the futility of praying for rain,
