to San Francisco.

Democratic members of the House
committee on banking and currency
have agreed on a plan for the govern
ment control of the country's banking
system, and today are taking rest
after three days OF strenuous confer
ences. from which have issued varying
reports as to the harmony in the COM
mittee.. When the committee meets
again Monday it will take up the de-
tails of the bill, as the administrative
features are about concluded as far as
the majority is concerned.
The administration plans for a fed
eral reserve board controlled by the
government have been forced through
the committee 1t is planned that men,
bers OF this board shall be paid $4,000
a year apiece and shall devote all
their time to the business of the
board
When the bill is reported to the
House it is believed it will carry a
provision requiring that the members
of the board shall be SO selected as to
represent the various geoera phica
sections of the country.
Banks on Equal Footing.
The committee is also of the opiniun
that all banks under the control of the
board shall be Oh an equal footing,
and for that reason the majority of the
committee agrees that the net earnings
Of reserve banks above the per cent
cumulative dividends to stockholders
should be paid to the government, and
that the 20 per cent surplus of each
bank should remain the property Of
the government.

day resting from the labors of a series

| thousand-word report telegraphed to
| San Francisco last night. The report
approves the main features Of the Glass

| tee recommends, however, that the fed
eral board be composed Of nine mem
bers instead of seven; that the two
additional members be chosen by the
board itself and that a governor and
vice governor be elected and that the
directors of federal reserve banks be
empowered to elect advisory counsel.
The committee also reports that the
limitation Of $500.00O.00O on issues OF
federal reserve notes and govern
ment obligation to redeem them would
be undesirable.
