really would be an advantage to place
parI OF II with the public and part

Another difference was over the
selection Of directors for regional
banks. The Democratic six adhered
to the House plan of allowing one
thlrd OF the directors to be selected
oy the banks from bank officials. one
lhlrd by the banks from business men
entirely disconnected with banks and
one third by the Board of Superyi-
sion.
The Hitchcock Republican six wish
fNe named by the Board of Supervi-
sion and four by the banks | can not
see that this difference is very impor-
tant, for the Democratic six give to
the Board Of Supervision such eX-
tended power over the local boards
that their control of the regional
banks would be about the same in
one case as in another.
Per Cent Bonds.
In one respect the Democratic
members of the committee make a
valuable change from the House bill
and from the action of the Hitchcock
and Republican six. II is with refer

and substituting a 3 per cent bond

the national banks. cancel the ma

as an assured fact that only short

WILSON TO LET COURT GO?
MAY Not Prevent Abolition OF
Commerce Tribunal.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Oct What the Pr2si-
dent will do with a bill abolishing the
United States Commerce Court and leg
islating the judges out Of office is Ques-
ton of more than ordinary interest, par
ticularly In commercial circles throughout
the country.
When the Attorney General appeared
before the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee. about ten days ago 1t was under
stood that he voiced the views Of Presi-
dent Wilson in opposing the plan TO abol-
ish the court, but IT was learned to-day
from a reliable source that the Chief EX-
ecutive may permit the abolition Of the
tribunal Before Attorney General Nc
REYNOLDS vigorously demonstrated against
the legislation he conferred with TIE
President, and the latter said he had no
objection" to Mr.. McReynolds telling the
Senate committee what he thought about
the principle OF putting out OF office
Judges who had been appointed for life.
The advisers of the President, 1t de-
veloped to-day, are divided on the CUES
ton. Several members Of the Cabinet
are averse to wiping out the court and
others believe that its powers and Juris-
diction can be enlarged, something the
President believed until recently. Com
mercial bodies are bringing their inhu-
ence to<bear and strong arguments are
being advanced, but President Wilson still
possesses an open mind on the ques-
ton.
