SERVE BOARD.

4 RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 1S..-Mem-
bcrs Of the American Institute of
Eanks, in annual session here to-day
heard Senator Theodore L. Burton,
Of Ohio, attack the Democratic cur
roncy bill pending in congress. The
senator condemned the regional re-
serve bank plan proposed in the bill
but his criticism was aimed chiefly
at the provision authorizing the fed
eral reserve board to control the Is
suance Of the currency.
Z In discussing the plan to put the
reserve board system under control
of federal reserve board named by
tho president, Senator Burton said:
Such an organization might ut first
seem an ideal solution securing Il
proper balance between the people
and banks in the all important field
OF the management of our finances,
but 1t is the bane Of our national life
that politics enters all administra-
tive duties. The complication be-
tween opposing parties is 50 keen
that thosee ngagcd in enterprises do
not feel sure that the authority Of
political board will not be used
for partisan advantage"
