HITS AT STOCK GAMBLING
Senator Cummins Will Intro.
duce a Bill Proposing a
Prohibitive Tax.

A new plan of federal prohibition
against purely gambling transactions on
stock exchanges and boards of trade.
dealing with stocks and agricultural
products. is to be proposed in a bin which
Senator Cummins of Iowa will introduce
in a few days
In general, the bill will provide for a
tax of 10 per cent on transactions on
stock exchanges and board of trade.
wherein sales are made by parties not
owning what they purport to sell.
For instance. the tax would be i'm
posed on transactions where stock is sold
short, or where agricultural products
are sold for future delivery by persons
not then owning the products to be sold.
The tax of 10 per cent on these trans
actions is aimed to be SO high as to be
prohibitory, and therefore the bill aims to
put stop to the gambling features of
stock exchanges.
Previous proposals aimed to accomplish
the same purpose have been based on the
right of Congress to regulate interstate
commerce or to determine what shall be
sent through the mails. AS precedents for
his proposal to place a prohibtory tax
on the gambling transactions, Senator
Cummins will point to the tax on state
bank circulation. a.,
Proper exceptions are to be made in
the bill, it is understood, to allow a
farmer to sell his growing crops or a
packer or Gamer to contract for the sale
of his products, and for similar trans
actions. considered legitimate.

URGES ALDR|CH PLAN
FOR MONETARY SYSTEM
Festus J. Wade,- st. Louis
Banker, Declares Central
Bank to Be Necessary.

This country can never have a sound
monetary system without a central bank,
declared Festus J. Wade Of ST. Louis. a
member of the banking and currency
committee of the American Bankers AS
ISOLATION, today before the House cur
rency reform committee. Mr. Wade said
the so-called Aldrich plan proposed the
best system that had come under his
observation.
Chairman Glass told the witness that
the declaration OF the democratic party
against the Aldrich bill practically pre-
cluded the consideration of any plan en-
body1ng the central bank feature, and
asked for an opinion on a system of di-
visional reserve banks supervised by a
central board.
You may be able to work that out, =
the witness replied. hut the system will
not be sound without the central bank.

Recommends Aldrich Bill.

Mr. Wade insisted democratic oppOSi
ton to a central bank was largely senti-
mental. and recommended that the COM
mittec report measure similar to the
Aldrich bill.
Whether it is sentiment or the ghost
of Andrew Jackson replied Chairman
Glass. there is an insuperable political
obstacle to the Aldrich plan"
Mr. Wade expressed the opinion that to
make of the provisions of the eX-
listing Northumberland laws would be
dangerous, because it would be a sign of
distress. He added however, that in
times of panic the law could be employed
to advantage. and urged that it should
not be allowed to die a natural death
until something to take its place had
been provided. He assured the committee
that the bankers of the country would CO.
operate with Congress to bring about the
adoption of any sound plan of banking
and currency reform.

Bears Attack General List.

Bear traders, flushed with their success
in promoting extensive liquidation in the
copper group paid more attention to the
general list today, and were assisted in
their efforts to depress prices by unfavOr-
able events in home and foreign politics.
Inside support was absent at the outset,
and the bears experienced no opposition
in opening stocks lower. Selling was
more active than for several weeks, and a
number of issues touched new low prices
for the current decline.
After the first rush of selling orders had
been executed the list began to respond
10 the support extended. and Steel. ANAL
Samated. the Harrimans and other shares
made full recovery. Bonds were easy.
