HILL SPEAKS
TO BANKERS

Boston, Oct. 9.-James J. Hill, of st.
Paul, attacked the Owen-Gla cur
rency bill in an address before the
American Bankers Association, to-
day. The railroad man depIored par
ticu1arly the opportunity of federal
reserve board to be Influenced by po-
litical considerations but found many
other defects, among them that the
proposed measure was too socia1istic
for the times. He said in part:
"One serious defect is that the bill
will not and cannot do what on it's
face it proposes to do. 1t processes to
aim at a comprehensive reform of cur
rency and banking by establishing a
logical and permanent system. We
have never had that since this gov
eminent was founded. We will not
have it if this bill should become law.
'fIt does not simplify the currency.
It does nothing with the greenbacks;
it leaves the silver certificates where
they are; it proposes to retire the out
standing national bank notes only in
the course of time. Our currency will
be just as confused and unscientifc
as before. Another failure in frank
ness at least is the Reputation Of the
central bank idea in name and the ac-
ceptance of it in fact. The proposed
national and local reserve associations
are merely working on the principle
of national bank with local branches.
81 am not maintaining that the cen
trail bank principle is either desirable
or undesirable. I do think that it's re-
lection in form and adoption IN sub
stance is as little promising as the
proposal to simplify our currency sys-
tenn by adding a new amendment to
it's already heterogeneous mass
There are practical working weak
nesses even more serious. First among
these is the projected political control
of currency banking of the country.
Establishment Of federal reserve
board, vesting control of our banking,
credit and note issues in men chosen
necessarily with some reference to po-
litical considerations and at least part
Iy subservient to party demands is one
feature
$50 far as one can see, most results
of real value to be accomplished by
the bill under consideration might
equally well be obtained under exist
ing law providing for the issue for
emergency circulation. But one of it's
least excusable defects is its exc1u-
sion from the approved securities of
the discounted notes or investment of
those which are actually most desir-
able and safest of all. Government
bonds, state bonds, bonds of cities and
counties are recognized as to quality.
The discrimination among bonds, like
the proposed system of banking con-
troll, is purely political.
1.-The bill in it's present form is too
socialistic to suit the temper of the
body of our people. The plan differs
essentially but little from the direct
assumption by the government of com
p1ete ownership and control of the
banking business

peculiar incident occurred at the
Poll theatre last night during the
course of the amateur performance.
Albert De Simone, the well known cor

property. running the entire distance

of going to the university and thus

ordinary interest because of the fact
