WALL ST. IN
CONTROL WITH
ALDRiCH PLAN
And for Period of so Years
IF His Currency Reform
Is Adopted
So Declares Ex- Secretary
Leslie M. Shaw to Money
Trust Probers Today

Washington, Jan. S-"'If the Aldrich
plan of proposed currency reform is
adopted, Wall street will be placed in
absolute control of the country for a
period of so years." was the declara-
ton Of Leslie NJ. Shaw, secretary of
the trea sury under President Roose-
Welt. to the Glass currency cammittee,
The object of Congress is to relieve
Wall street from that control which it
now exercises over the country as /
understand it., he said But I be-
ieve that probably you will find op-
position from most of the large banks
of the country. The relief, which must
consist of some form of supplemental
currency must spring into existence
when needed, remain in use as long
as needed and then automatically re-
tire with equal promptness and this
character identical with what is in
daily use, lest its very presence invite
suspicion and disaster.
This will relieve the country from
dependence upon Wall street, will re-
lieve cities of 100, 900 population or less
from dependence upon cities of mill
lion or more.
cit will be financial emancipation
and for that reason, if for no other,
the big banks of the country will op-
pose.
Il am surprised that all the banks
owned or controlled by the STANDARD
Oil people and all the banks owned or
controlled by the United States Steel
people and all groups whom the author
of the bill admits now dominate our
financial affairs, should unite in sup
port of the measure if, as Mr.. A1drich
believes, it is going to take that con-
troll away. I have no evidence that
these people have become weary.
The plans, if worked out, will form
compulsory association of all na-
ional banks and trust companies.

HOUSE VOTES FOR OPEN

First Clash of Session Comes in Pre-
pairing For Election of Speaker.


The Speaker of the last House, Fred
erick A. Scott, assumed the chair when
the House met, this morning, as is
customary, and Representatives w f
Hyde, of Manchester and Christopher
Avery of Groton, were elected temper
ary clerks.
The first clash between Republicans
and Democrats was on the motion of
Representative Lynch, of Waterbury,
that the House proceed to ballot for a
speaker by a secret ballot and was a
very spirited one Representative Ma
gee, of Watertown, one of the unsuc-
cessfuI candidates for the Republican
nomination for speaker iInme ia teIy
offered an amendment for an open roll
call for the election. He sustained his
position in a few words and was fol-
lowed by Representative KoppIeman,
of Hartford, Lockwood of Stamford
and Taylor of Danbury, all of whom
made the best fight they could for Sc
cret ballot. The House finally pro-
ceded to a roll call on the question.
There was one a absentee on the Dem
ocratic side, Representative DawIey of
Voluntowr. Representative Hill of
WDlcott, who was absent at the Re
publican caucus, last night, was pres
ent, today. 1T was evident that some
Republicans voted for open roll call
reluctantly and the eight progressives
voted with the Democrats against it
one Democrat voted for it. The open

FEMININE NECESSITIES.

The American shop girl earns about
$500 a year. II might reasonably be
supposed that SO small n stipend would
be spent almost wholly for the necessl'
ties OF life. An association OF Chicago
dressmakers has recently stated that
each OF these girls spends, on an av'
erage $3.50 year on her clothes. The
logical conclusion is that fairly good
clothes and pretty clothes are neces
sity for the American girl of today.
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer They
are as much a necessity, apparently.
for the shop girl who spends more
than 80 per cent. of her earning on
them as for the women at the other
extreme, who are rated as squander-
ing SIS, 900 q year on dress. 1t Is doubt
less necessity for every woman to
appear as attractive as possible. 1t is
a necessity because 1t Ia an inerad'
icable instinct. In this instinct has
been built the tyranny Of style. And
each woman yields homage and pays
tribute to this tyrant in accordance
with her means. Pretty clothing would
be Just as surely feminine necessity
II the rapidity Of style shifting we're
somewhat retarded. And other neces-
sities--or even luxurles-such rs eat

ALFALFA.

One OF the most notable recent de-

spread OF alfalfa. Alfalfa has been
the basis of irrigated farming in the
Rocky mountain region for years. II

yields more of ii than almost any
other plant. 1t can be cut three times
year, and four or five tons to the
acre is fair average crop, Like all
other cloyers, it enriches the soil; but
alfalfa roots go much deeper than
those OF common clover, and the fer
tilty they store lasts longer. All
these good qualities have been known
for a long time, but until recently
there has been a persistent super
stition that alfalfa would not grow in

the Chicago Journal. Recent expert
