CURRENCY BILL THEME
AT BANKERS MEETING
Senator Shafroth Advocates
Establishment of Eight or
Ten Regional Banks.

Senator Shafroth OF Colorado. member
OF the Senate banking and currency com
mittee, discussed the administration cur

ter of the American Institute of Bank
ing in the headquarters of that organ
ization. 1914 T. street, last night
There should be ten or twelve regional
banks" said Senator Shafroth, Europe
is not SO big as the United States, and
vet they have a great many more thar
ten such banks, and they have less bust
ness. Forty per cent of the banking IN
dustry is carried on in this country. And,
then, it is largely a question of geog-
raphy. There should be banks in ever,

Should Be Closely Associated.

1T is necessary that the head of a
regional bank know the bank presidents
with whom he is to deal. Therefore
there should be but a reasonable dis
lance between banks.
IT do not favor plans to make the re-
gional banks banks of the people. They
have $1,000 banks in this country. The
regional banks will contain only money
of the bankers, and the bankers should
control the directorate that deals with
their money.
Bankers should not be permitted, how
ever to be represented on the federal
reserve board, because questions coming
before the board largely will be ques-
tons of governmental policy. If there is
q raise in the rates of discount there
will be a bull movement. if the rate be
reduced there will be q bear movement.

vantage of this to make himself rich.

Patronage Hanging Fire.

other question arises as to whether
President Wilson will recognize Mr. Lee
in patronage distribution in advance of
his actually taking his seat. To do this
would indicate the Presidents own view
as to the standing of the Maryland SEN
ator-elect and might go far toward Civ
ing aid in settling the dispute that threat

On departing Mr.. Lee said he had dis
cussed number of matters with the
President, but none Of them touching
upon taking his seat or the distribution
Of patronage.
1t is understood that Senator-elect Lee
will not at this time force the question
of the legality OF his election on the Sem
ate, as he does not wish further to COM
picate matters there during the consid-
Grafton of the currency problem.

CITIZENS MUST PETITION
FOR SUPPLY OF WATER
Garfield Association Told Ma
jority Must Agree to Take
Service to Get Extension.

The members of the Original Garfield
Citizens Association in session last even
ing at the home of Thomas T. Corom, in
Anger place southeast. were advised by
letter that in order to have the District
water supply extended to their suburb
from Good Hope it would<be necessary to
get petition signed by majority of the
property owners to the effect that they
would use the supply when il became
available. When this letter was read
much discussion followed. 1t was pointed
ont that when the supply was extended
TO Good Hope TO such petition was
circulated. and committee was selected
to ascertain if il would be possible to ex-
tend the supply as far as the school
house, and also for fire protection pur-
poses without the necessity of a petition
OF this kind. 1t was indicated that sew
eral residents were DESTROYS of introduce
ing this supply into their homes, but that
to get majority of the owners to sign a
petition to that effect might meet with
some opposition.
Announcement was made that street
lights are to be re-established on Knox,
Langston and Anger places. In ref
erence to additional fire alarm boxes, a
letter was read which stated that a re-
quest had been made for a number of
additional boxes and that when these
were available consideration would be
given the request that a few of them
be placed in that suburb.

Advocates Twelve Banks.

Senator Shafroth was introduced by

he wa sstrongly in favor of having twelve
regional banks, as provided by the ad-
ministraton bill.
IF foGr banks are better than the
twelve recommended by the House said
Mr.. Harper. Ion the same principle one
must be better than four. III the four
banks now proposed will be better than
one regional bank. is il not reasonable
