HOUSE COMMITTEE
ON CURRENCY REFORM
Charges Banks With Using "Steam
Roller Methods

| Washington, January .22=That in
Idorsement of the national monetary
commission's banking and currency
plan was forced through the American
Bankers association convention in New
lOrleans by steam roller methods, with
a great majority of the members un-
familiar with the plan, was charged to-
day before the House currency reform
lcommittee by Andrew j. Frame, presl-
dent of the Waukesha, Wis. National
bank Mr. Frame declared that the
American Bankers association for years
had been a "close corporation" con-
trolled by 10 or 12 men. At the New
Orleans meeting he said dozen
speeches were made in favor of the
commissions plan, but those who de-
sired to oppose it were kept off the
programme.
j. v Farwell, a Chicago merchant,
urged a modified form of the monetary
commissions plan which would pro-
vide district discount associations with
a central controlling body with no cap
lital stock nor general functions of a
bank.
Describing the proposed district
bodies. Mr.. Farwell explained that they
should have authorized stock equal to
| 10 per cent of the capital of the banks.
half paid in; should take so per cent
| of dead cash reserves in the banks, and
hold them for common use, and should
do business with banks only. Discounts
and acceptanees allowed to any one
bank, he continued, should not exceed
the amount OF its capital stock-and
there should be a fixed rate of dis
count in each district, the same to all
banks under like conditions.
The central association, Mr.. farweil
said, should hold most of the deposited
gold and issue all the notes for the dis
trict association in return for gold OF
commercial paper. In the organiza-
tion of this association or BOARD ne
proposed to have each district asso-
citation appoint two members, a bank
er and a business man, and the gov
ernment one member for each district
association. All profits above pei
cent on the capital stock of the district
associations, after allowing for the
accumulation of 20 per cent surplus
he suggested, should go to the govern
ment for use in gradual retiring oil
green backs and bonds,
After Andrew j. Frame told the
House currency reform committee that
the scheme of bank acceptances pro-
posed by the monetary commission S

Glass asked why the American Bank
ers' association unanimously indorsed
the plan at it's meeting in New Or
leans in 1911.

that some members Of the legislature In
tended to block the passage of the cor
poration bills by holding public hearings
of length indefinite. There is nothing
to hold public hearings about, said the
governor These are perfectly business
like bills. They do not affect any spe-
cial interest. If hearings were to be held
we would have to hear everybody in the
United States. There is nothing sensa-
tional or novel about the bills. They
simply make an effort to apply In

the acquisition of Scutari should be op-
posed and thus threaten European peace.
Questions to Be Settled
1t apepars, nevertheless, that all the
ambitions of Greece and Montenegro are
moi likely to be realized. Austria and
Italy are united in their opposition to the
oo cupation of Scutari by Montenegro. The
attitude of Italy is due partly to her OBJ
legations as a member of the triple al
lance and partly to the bad feeling ex-
isting between the Italian and Monte
ncgrin reigning houses, notwithstanding
the close relationship.
The Greeks hope to be able to retain Sa-
loniki with the consent or the allies and
the assistance of the powers, since the
town of Adrianople and most of the
yiayet will go to Bulgaria.
One ambassador has remarked that If
the question of Saloniki were to be solved

An excuse for dropping the bill prob
ably would be welcome TO the govern
ment for another reason. The home rule,
Welsh disestablishment and other
important measures will carry the session
well into February. The tired legislators
win then be given two or three weeks
holiday. The session will end about
March II, and the new session will begin
a day or two later. Thus parliament
practically will be sitting continuously
throughout the year, a condition of af-
fairs extremely distasteful to the mem

Fierce STRUGGLE
OVER THE ENGLISH
FRANCHISE BILL
Conflicting Interests Make
1t Impossible to Pre-
dict the Final
Outcome

London, January 22.-The fate of the
franchise bill is not expected to involve
the fate of the cabinet but the struggle
is so fierce and so many conflicting
interests are at work that it is impossi-
BILE to say what may happen.
According to the best available autnor-
ity If Sir Edward Greys amendment IS
defeated the government intends 10 drop
the bill altogether SO as to avoid the
embarrassment attendant upon further
extension of the suffrage to men with
out dealing with the insistent women $
question.
AS matters stand now unless the Grey
amendment which eliminates the word
male in the first clause of the bill, is
carried by majority OF sixty, which is
regarded as improbable there is little
likelihood of q bill carrying any measure
of wornen's enfranchisement surviving
the third reading Should the government
drop the bill it will substitute Harold
Trevor Bakers bill, providing for the
abolition of plural voting, which already
has passed the second reading and could
be carried through the remaining stages
