BARTON COUNTY DEMOCRAT

comphshed by the bill. It's fundamen
tails provide: ..--
The issue OF currency, guaranteed
BY the government, based on notes
and bills representing commercial
transactions and backed by a gold
reserve. The new currency is ex-
pected to contract and expand so as
to meet the varied demands Of the
/ trade.
The concentration of the bank ne.
serves Of the country IN regional i'm
sdtutiOns capitalized by the banks Of
the country and controlled by direc-
tors elected by the banks.
The creation of a market for the
nsestiabIe commercial paper which
forms the bulk of the assets of the
banks where, in time Of stnesS, those
assets may be easily and without less
transferred into cash.
The establishment Of from eight
to twelve great regional banks in
various parts of the country, which
will issue currency, rediscount pap
er and centralize and mobilize the
reserves Of the local banks.
The creation Of a federal reserve
board of seven members appointed by
the President, with final powers Of
control and supervision over the en-
tire system.
Among the chief points Of differ
ence between the House and Senate
are tn following:
The House provided for twelve re-
gional banks; the Senate from eight
to twelve, discretion benig left to
the federal board.
The Senate added a provision cneat
ing fund to guarantee the deposits
Of failed banks that are members Of
the reserve associations.
The House limited the nediscount Of
commercial paper at the regional
banks to that maturing in ninety
days; the Senate provided that an
SO-day agricultural paper could be &C.
cepted under certain limitations.
The gold reserve required of the
regional reserve banks against circu-
lating notes was placed at SO 1-3 per
cent by the House and at 40 per
cent by the Senate.
Banks would be permitted to lend
On 5-year farm mortgages by the
Senate bill; on 1-year mortgages by
the House bill.

At the meeting of the Barton Coun.

last Friday evening, DR.. A. H. Con

the presidency Of the society for the
ensuing year. When the society was
first organized IN this county several
years ago, DR.. Connect was elected
as its first president and his admin

serve board and from becoming di-
nectOrs in any member bank Of the
new system. The other was to pro-
hibit interlocking bank directorates.
The latter was rejected but the for.
mer was adopted.
Then Mt. LaFoIette voted against
the bill. Senator Bristow, of Kansas,
said he would vote against it be-
cause it was fundamentally wrong,
top heavy and would not remedy fin
ancial evils. He favored a central
bank, but thought that a few cogent
amendments to the Vreeland-Adrich
Bill would have served better than
the Administration Bill. Other Pro
gressive Republicans stood with the
regular Republicans, and the vote,
except for the lining up Of the seven
Republicans and Progressives with tha
Democrats was along party lines.
The chief provisions Of the Cur
rency Bill were under he direction
Of the President by Representative
Carter Glass and Senator Robt. Owen
and were designed to head off any
business reaction that the opposing
interests might cause to follow the
new Tariff Law. For that reason Mr..
Wilson was especially desirous of hal
ing the currency measure enacted in,
to law as soon as possible. He has
strived to have the measure pass
both houses of Congress in the extra
session, but when it became known
that would be impossible, the new
Congress was instructed to devote its
entire attention to currency until the
Senate passed the bill.
A complete reform of the vast and
complicated machinery Of finance, Of
banking and currency will be ac--

EllInwoOd Bank In Temporary Flnan-

The Citizens State Bank, Of BAin-
wood, one Of the strong financial in
sdtutions Of the county, temporarily
closed It's doors last Saturday morur
ing on account OF the inability Of the
bank to make collections which re
suited in a shortage OF cash.
I'd. L Smith Is the president and
cashier Of the bank and the heaviest
Dtockholder, and it was upon his re-
guest that Bank Examiner Warren
W Pratt, came and took charge ot
the affairs Of the institution for the
tine being.
The bank has a capital stock ot
$4,000 with a surplus Of s25,5OO and
the deposits approximate $115, 900 ant
the outstanding loans $152,OOO. Tht
paper carried by the bank Is said tc
be practically adj good, and the only
trouble was that collections were 81

A conversation with a number Of
the heaviest depositors reveals the
tact that every one Of them have all

It's management, and that when the
same is again opened for business
there will be no attempt made at a
transfer Of funds to other institutions

PASSED MONEY BILL.
Second Great Administration Meas
ure Wins In Senate 81 to "a.

: washington, Dec. 19.-The second
great legislative achievement OF the
Wilson administration Is the first
nine and haf months Of its exis
tence was assumed tonight when the
Senate passed the Owen Currency
Bill by q vote Of 81 to "a.
Seven Republicans Joined the Dem
ocrats In passing the bill. They
we've: Pointdexter Of Washington,
Crawford Of South Dakota, Sterling Of
South Dakota, Norris Of Nebraska,
Jones Of Washington, Perkins Of Cal
ifornia, and Weeks OF Massachusetts,.
The passage f the bill was entire
ly a personal victory for President
Wilson. Nothing except the firm yet
eactfu1 leadership of the President
could have accomplished its enact
memt. At times the legislation was
on the verge Of failure as far as the
immediate future was concerned and
1t was saved only by the determined
position taken by Mr.. wilson
AS the character Of the Currency
Bill for which the administration
would stand sponsor developed, there
was first opposition to It's immediate
passage and then opposition to the
bill itself. The enactment of an ef-
fective Democratic tariff bill was not
difficult compared 10 putting through
the character Of a currency bill up
on which the President insisted.
When 1t was introduced in the
House, Oscar W. Underwood, the
floor leader, who loyalty fought for
It, prophesied that bl'ore the bill
would be voted upon, the great east
ern financial interests would endeaV-
or in every way to block its passage
because of the fundamental principles
upon which President Wilson insist
ed, that the government and not the
banks should control the new system.
As final assault the interests threat
ened that the National banks of the
country would refuse to go into the
new banking system.
The closing hours Of the struggle
developed some surprises. One was
thee announcement by Sen. Hitch
cock that having fought hard for
the betterment of the bill and hav-
ing been instrumental in forcing Ger.
tain improvements, he was ready to
support it. A greater surprise, how
ever, came when Senator Weeks Of
Massachusetts, one of the best post
ed men ON finance on the Republican
side, admitted that the bill is 75I
per cent good and perhaps 25 per
cent bad. He announced that, there
fore, he would vote with the Demo
Gratis.
Surprise was expressed also at the
position taken by Senator LaFollette,
who is usually less partisan than his
colleagues. The Wiscon-
sin senator has had very little to say
during the long debate on currency,
but at the last moment he offered
two amendments. One was to prohib |
1t members of Congress from appoint
ment to any place on the federal re- :

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.
The Attendance Was Small But Much
Interest Was Manifested.

The meeting Of the Barton County
Farmers Institute held In the court
house last Friday and Saturday was
but poorly attended from the fact
that On account d the very disagree
able weather Il was impossible for
many Of the farmers TO come from
a distance, but a great deal Of m
terest was manifested by everyone
in attendance, and the sessions we've
a great success IN the interchange Of
ideas and the new and progressive
ideas In agricultural lines that were
advanced by the various speakers.
The talks by the institute workers
sent out by the agricultural college
at Manhattan were good, but were no
more able than many Of those by
the home people, and as the ideas
advanced BY the speakers from here
dealt with facts and conditions per-
tanning more TO this particular local
ity than with general conditions they
were undoubtedly Of the greater ben.
efit.
We are very strongly inclined to
the belief that an institute by the
agriculturalists Of this county or com.
mmity, which would be held month
ly and at which the various ideas Of
our home people regarding agricul-
tural, stock and general farm ques-
tons were exchanged and discussed,
would be ones Of the very best moves
which could be made towards the
complete development OF this great
farming community and would ac--
comphSh a vast amount OF good. We
are not in the least prone to criti-
cize the specialists IN the various
lines which are sent out by our agrd-
cultural college, but we believe the
farmers generally would take great
er interest in the movement than at
present. and better results would nat
urally follow. The regular institut.
es could be held as at present, but
the monthly meetings and the talks
by the home people, many Of whom
are abundantly qualified to discuss all
Of the questions which the fslne. =
desire information on, would be Of
vastly more benefit than the twice
or three times a year sessions as at
present. There Is no farmer who
would not gladly spend one day of
time each month for this purpose and
we believe that the plan would meet
with their approval generally.
The corn and potato exhibits by
tna Toys at the institute were want
ins this year for reasons too evident
to need explaining, but the showing
in the girls department was better
than usual. The following prizes
were awarded:
Canned Fruit-1st, Olive Nicker--
son: End, Dora Ludwig; Ord, Hattie
Schneider.
Jelly-1st, Olive Nickerson; 2nd.,
Edna Mcdonald; 3rd, Hazel Denbo.
Butter-1st, Louise Hiss; 2nd, Dora
Ludwig; 3rd, Goldie Gaunt.
Bread-Ohve Nickerson-no COM
petition.
Aprcn-1st, Goldie Gaunt; End, Haz.
el Denbo; Srd, Louise Hiss.
The other articles exhibited in d..
mestic art were unclaSsified and had
no competition.
BY looking at the above 1t would
seem that the south side girls are
taking a greater interest in this move
for more general education than are
those of any other part Of the coun-
ty. The girls in the other commund-
ties should wake up and see that the
large share Of the prizes does not
go to one locality after this.

And Whereas. At an election held
on July 26, 1910, by virtue OF said

qualified electors of the territory:
And Whereas, Under laws now in
force in the territory of Hawaii, traffic
In intoxicating liquors is controlled
and regulated in manner satisfactory
TO large majority Of the residents of
the territory:
And Whereas, The passage by the
congress of the United States of Amer
lea of any act relative to the traffic in
intoxicating liquors within the terri
tory would constitute a departure
from the principle of home rule of the
territories of the United States, and
would likewise be an expression on
the part of the congress OF the United
States that the legislature or the ter

specifically granted 1t by the organic
act OF the territory of Hawaii:
1t is Therefore Resolved: That the

that any proposed legislation relative
to such traffic be entrusted TO the leg

If anyone other than Representative

recess or adjournment in the house
since the present session began 1t Is
not generally known. The lone Home
Ruler of the lower branch has taken
that burdensome responsibility upon
his own broad shoulders, and any
time, morning or afternoon, that house
business seems to be waning he is
instantly on his feet, ready to put the
motion for a cessation of official
duty. AS such motions are not de-
batable it may be that it Is partly
through fear of Kawewehi the indi-
vidual members scramble to get their
own measures before the house in
such jig time, making the present.
