THE intimation Of the distinguished
Nebraska senator that he Intends TO
amend the currency bill by compelling
regional reserve banks TO discount the
obligations Of member banks, thus strip
ping the regional banks of their discre-
ton. as Interpret his suggestion. will
interest both the scientific student and
the practical banker as being a unique
idea. One OF the most vehement crit-
cisnls that the house bill encountered
in the entire process OF consideration re-
lated to the power of the reserve board
under severe restrictions, one regional
reserve bank to rediscount the prime pa
per Of another regional reserve bank, Of
which there are TO be only twelve. Yet,
now, as I understood. we have from Mr..
Hitchcock a serious proposal to open the
throttle and in the ordinary course Of
business transa ctions compel regional
banks unfortunately to rediscount pa
per and to issue currency and credits to
perhaps 10, 600 member banks!

The statement charged that some OF the
witnesses who appeared before the sem

as to what they were to say and cited
the instance of "a great merchant OF the
country who had been told to come to
Washington TO SOW the seeds OF discon-
tent with the house bill by declaring
to the senate committee, as Mr.. Hitch
cock has declared to the country, that it
involved tremendous contraction of
commercial credits"
This testimony, Mr.. Glass said. was
absurd, and, he added, the merchant
who gave It afterward admitted that he
was "coached" and that he had not even
read the bill.
Representative Glass concluded with a
statement that he had hesltated to make
any criticism Of committee proceedings
on the senate side and that he would not
have spoken at all had the senator from
Nebraska confined his observations to his
