Will Attempt to
Reform Currency.

1t is announced that many promi-
neht democrats are opposed to cur
rency legislation at the special ses-
sion OF congress, but in spite of this
the banking and currency committee
will, attempt to draft a measure that
will at least go through the stage. pre-
liminary to enactment. 1t is said that
nc complete bill has yet been drafted.
but that tentative bills win be laid
before the subcommittee this week.
Chairman Owen. OF the senate commit
tee, and Chairman Glass. OF the house
committee. have been at work long
and zeaiously on the subject and II is
generally believed they viii introduce
bills that are practically the same
measure.
Reform Of the banking and cur
rency laws. is not altogether a party
question. It is admitted that this
country has the poorest and weakest
system OF both banking and currency
of any civilized country and there Is a
general demand from all thoughtful
persons that these existing laws be
amended. There seems to be no valid
reason why this should be postponed
and Ii should now and at all times re-
ceive the consideration of the best
brains In congress.
This country surely can enact laws
that will make II impossible for any
man or group OF men 10 control the

Threatened Industry
Screaming wolf"

Even the manufactors OF automo-
biles are screaming out wolf" They
say the proposed tariff bill will leave
their industry ct the mercy of foreign
pauper labor products. One would
think. TO hear them talk. that the
American automobile industry Is bare
1y able to stand alone. The proposed
tariff law will leave a duty of Is
per cent on automobiles and 80 and
20 per cent ON parts. 1t is a fact
that American manufacturers sold
$25, 000, 900 worth OF cars abroad last
year. and only 100000 worth OF for
eign cars were sold In sthis country.
The United States makes the best low
priced cars in the world. and they Will
continue to supply the demand. no
matter what reduction Is made In the
tariff. Foreign made cars will never
supply the American market to any
appreciable extent.
The complaint Of the automobile
makers is fair sample Of the scream
ing Of the other threatened indus
tries.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-A joint
resolution to conditionally suspend the
operation of the provision of the Pa
mama canal act, granting free pas
sage to American coastwise vessels.
was introduced by Chairman Adam
son of Georgia, of the house COM
merce committee.
The suspension would be subject to
the following conditions:
"At any time after the Panama
canal shall have been opened and
successfully operated for two years:
IL in the judgment of the president
the revenues derived from tolls of
vessels other than those engaged in
the coast wise trade of the United
States shall be sufficient to defray
the cost of maintaining and operating
the canal and the expense of gov
ernment and sanitation of the canal
zone and all diplomatic questions
touching the treatment of vessels as
to conditions or charges of traffic at
the canal shall have been adjusted,
then the president is authorized to
issue an executive order declaring
such extended exemption Of full force
and effect"
Representative Adamson intro

sponsibility and 1t will not go before
congress as an administration meas

administration did not mean that the
proposed step was disapproved. Any
