SOME CHANGES LIKELY IN THE
 CURRENCY BILL
These Will Have Sanction of President Wilson and in Ac- cordance With Ideas of Many Senators.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Whi1e the hearings on the currency bill before the Senate banking commission may not end before Saturday, arguments have the attention of the members.
 President Wilson's intimation that he would not object to the changes in the personnel of the federal reserve board and a reduction in the number of regional reserve banks has made 1t practically certain that the ideas of many Senators to make these changes will be carried out. Among other proposed changes is one that will go to the very basis of the bill, the provision authorizing the rediscount of commercial paper and the issue of currency by the federal reserve banks The House provision some witnesses have held, was too broad, allowing practically all paper of certain maturities designated Ito be rediscounted. Others, particularly re- presentatives of smaller banks in the middle west, have contended that the rediscount provision would be useless to them.
 Senators Bristow, Hitchcock, Reed and Nelson have shown an inclination to extend the length of maturity of a certain percentage of the paper the reserve banks might rediscount to en- able country banks holding six and nine months paper to 9njoy the ad- NanIaS0S or the new system some amendment along this line, coupled with a more definite designation of commercial paper probably Ni11 be written into the bill.
 Under the bill as passed by the House, the regional reserve banks may discount paper without limit for their member banks but no provision is made that gives member banks the right to demand such discount. Mem bers of the commission are practically agreed that it is necessary to provide that a member bank as a Anatetr of right may apply for and receive dis counts up to a fixed limit
 The compulsory feature of the bill. under which all national banks would be required to join the system and subscribe 20 per cent. of their capital in stock of the federal reserve bank of their district and turn over five per cent. of their deposits to the reserve bank, also may be changed. In that connection. the commission will make more definite the provisions. relating to state banks and trust companies. to insure that both state and national banks under the special interest sys- tenn have nearly equal privilege.
