NEW CURRENCY BILL
IS FULLY DISCUSSED
Both Democratic and Re-
publican Leaders Discuss
Bill With President

Washington, June 25-Presdent Will
son had about the cabinet table at the
White House tonight the member of
the Senate committee on banking and
currency, democrats and republicans,
for a general discussion of the cur
rency question The conference, sim
liar to the one held last week with
democratic members of the House COM
mittee on banking and currency, gave
the President an opportunity to ex-
lation during the present session and
go over to some extent the provisions
of the administration measure.
The bin is expected to be introduced
in the Senate and House tomorrow by
Senator owen and Representative
Glass.
Tonights conference, by a coinci-
dence, followed hearing earlier in the
day given by the President to four
resentation of the bankers on the pro-
posed federal reserve board and the
retirement of the present bond secured
currency.
The President in vited to the hear
ing, which was sought by the bankers
who are prominent in the American
Bankers association, his associates in
the framing of the administration bill,
Secretary McAdoo, Chairmen owen and
Glass of the Senate and House banking
and currency committees.
Views of Bankers
The views of the bankers were set
forth by President George M. Reynolds
of the Commercial National bank Of
Chicago; Sol Weller of the Whitney Cen
tral National bank of New Orleans
John Perrin of the Fletcher National
bank of Indianapolis. and Festus j.
Wade of the Merchantile Trust company
OF st. Louis.
After leaving the President the party
adjourned to the treasury department,
and there discussed the protests in de-
tail. The bankers urged the increase
of the federal reserve board, which un-
der the present plan would be COM
posed wholly of seven government Of
ficials, to II members, four of whom
would represent the banks. These four
would be chosen by permitting the
reserve banks to nominate one man and
from the total of 2 the President would
be empowered to select four.
The bankers virtually were in ac-
cord in the idea of increasing the
amount of federal reserve treasury
notes above $500,000,000 or placing n o
limit on the issue and retiring the
$712.00o,000 of currency now secured
by 2 per cent bonds within period
of several years by refunding the z
per cents with per cent bonds, having
no circulation privilege.

THE AMERICAN WHINE.

The whining tone of the editor
of the American, is in marked
keeping with the man. He
makes no attempt to disprove the
charges made against him, nor
has he the manlinesJ to resent
them. His greatest objection to
contests now seems to be that
some one might be induced TO
take paper that didn't want it.
This is not an unusual thing, when
contests is not on, but no one is
ever seriously injured by reading
a paper. As TO annoying bust
ness men, we dare say that no
contestant has ever annoyed them
half as much as the American man
has with his poor whines.
But he now falls back on his stock
in trade, paundering to public
sympathy. Many a worthless vag
has made his way through the
world working this game, but
there never was a more adapt hand
at the art than the American man.
