NEW YORK. June 22-The Ameri- can Bankers Association will go be. fore the senate finance committee and place before them the plan that they favor for the currency reform that is desired The association is strongly in favor Of the Aldrich tariff plan, and bitterly opposed to the Will son plan.

 During the afternoon, however he found time to give the representa- tive of The Citizen an interview, and for fifteen solid minutes he told of his long and interesting career in the flying game. Captain Martin has been in the business since the time that they were flying glders and kites. and has perhaps as great knowledge of the workings of the heavier-than-air machine as any liv- ing man. During the course of his conversation yesterday afternoon it | occurred to the representative of The | Citizen that it would be an excellent idea if the people of Fairbanks could, in addition to seeing the | flights, have the aviator talk on the subject also. It is therefore probable that Captain Martin will be ap, preached with a view of making ar. engagements to give lecture at
 which the whole public could listen to the inside history of the greatest
 game in the world.

 fessionally known as Lily Irvine, also

Hlnhsr Plane of Debate.

In times past the tariff in congress
has attracted many men whose knowl-
edge of the subject was scant. In the
debates they used the patter of the
stump. They marshaled catch phrases,
and poured them out in PERCUSSION. The
rich we're getting richer and the poor
poorer Robber barons were hogging
everything. Give the poor man a
chance. And so on.
Such deliverances were principally
assertion and came from men without
practical knowledge of business of any
kind. They were particularly unfa-
miliar with big business and could not
have found their way around unassist-
ed in a manufacturing plant.
By pitching the recent debate on a
higher plane, both Republicans and
Democrats served their parties and
their policies.

BETTER THAN HASTE
Slow Congressional DeIiberatlon
Proper.
Under Autocratic Rule Of Former Re-
publican Speakers important
Measures Had Not the Proper
Consideration Necessary.

Certainly no one can accuse the
Democratic congress of being head
long in legislation. The Underwood
Simmons tariff bill had been under
consideration in committee for months.
before 1t was submitted to the house,
and after its passage there the leisure
ly senate debated it for just four
months before taking favorable action.
Several weeks in conference followed
before it reached the president.
The currency bill seems to be follow
ing much the same procedure. Though
President Wilson had hoped to have it
disposed of in the special session, it is
now predicted that serious debate up
on 1t can hardly begin before Deem
Der 8, and that probably two months
more will be required for discussion.
1t seems not unlikely that spring will
roll around before final action is taken.
In all probability the antitrust legis-
lation which it is proposed TO enact
will follow the same program.
1t all seems provokingly slow, but it
may well be believed that the cautious
methods followed by senators and rep
resentatives are the best for both the
country and the dominant party. 1t
was always brought up against Speak
er Thomas B. Reed, who introduced
the autocratic rules that led to the re-
volt against Cannon, that he boasted
that under his regime the house had
ceased TO be deliberative body, That
cannot be said of the present congress.
