THREE PRIN CIPAL
OBJECTS Of NEW
CURRENCY BILL
Representative Glass Outlines
Administration Measure
AWAITS WILSON'S MESSAGE
Provides for Twelve or More FEEDER
al Banks to Discount Com
mereial Paper.
AWAITS WILSON'S MESSAGE

Washington, June 19.-The admin
istration currency bill was made pub
lie tonight by Representative Glass
chairman of the House committee on
banking and currency. 1t will be in
troduced in the House and Senate af.
ter President Wilson has delivered In
person his address to Congress on
Monday.
An outline of the measure prepar-
ed by Mr.. Glass describes it as D.
sis for legislative action, states that
it will be gone over in detail for alter
nations and sets out that its purpose
is to accomplish three principal OBJ
jects:-
Provision of a means for rediscount
ing commercial paper of specific
types.
A basis for elastic notes properly
safeguarded.
Machinery for doing foreign bank
ing business
The measures essentials remain as
they have been outlined from time to
time since the president began a
study of the subject with House and
Senate leaders, Secretary McAdoo
and other advisers. providing IL or
more federal reserve banks which
will rediscount paper, deal in govern
ment securities, exchange and conduct
government fiscal operations. Nation
al banks and such state banks and
trust companies as conform to stan
dards would be stockholders of the
reserve banks. The government
would hold no stock.
The government would control the
federal reserve banks entirely through
federal reserve board of seven men,
bers in which the banks would have
no representation. The board would
be composed of the secretary of the
treasury, secretary OF agriculture, the
comptroller of the currency as mem
bers ex officio. four other members
would be chosen by the president and
confirmed by the Senate.
The National bank note circulation
would remain undisturbed and no pro-
posal is made in the bill for retiring
approximately s700,00O,000 2 per cent
bonds upon which that note issue now
rests. An amendment or separate bill
to refund those bonds into per cent
bonds may be introduced later.

To the Editor of The Banner:
the 3rd time the high school was yot-
ed down at the special town meeting
held at town hall on Thursday after
noon. The meeting was one of the
largest town meetings held for some
time as the ladies who were eligible
were out to vote. Although 1t has
peen stated by some of the West Ar
lington people who are voters and al
so one of the school commissioners
that If the high school question went
through, the west district would come
out at March meeting and vote for
license, it hardly seems as though Ii.
cense and high school would go well
together But still the high school
would be between Arlington and East
Arlington, while the party who held
incense, tsupposing the town went
wet }, could have his place of BUSH
ness in West Arlington, where these
people are so anxious to have II. II
seems pity that this high school
plan has failed. The marble had been
given, besides large contributions,
Also for two years money had been

West Arlington to the village school.

down the high school are the ones

The above figures would seem to
argue enphatically for a safe and
