The Currency Bill.

Inc currency Dill.
With characteristic courage
and. decision the President has
addressed the Congress on the
subject of currency legislation
and the Administration Bill will
be introduced this week.
Everyone admits that our cur
rency system is wrong some
where and unresponsive to the
: demands of business.
With underlying conditions all
sound and fundamentally strong
there is something wrong when
business men can't get sufficient
financial accommodation for the
needs of trade. The bill it is
hoped will provide the requisite
elasticity and bring about easier
conditions.
It's main features are given as
follows.
On account of the Solicitude
of the President for the borrow
ing element of the country the
trainers of the bill have been
unable to meet finally the prob
lem of naming the board that is
to supervise the issue of the
elastic currency created by the
new measure. However, all other
questions have been successfully
settled.
It has been determined to Gre
ate not less than II nor more
than Is regional reserve districts.
Each of these districts is to have
a local reserve board and each is
to issue such currency as emer-
gencies may demand and the
general board may approve.
At least three Federal officials
will be ex-offcio members Of the
general reserve board. They
will be the Secretary of the
Treasury, the Secretary of Ag-
ricu1ture and, perhaps, the
Comptroller of the Currency.
In addition, the President will
appoint not less than three mem
bers of the board direct and the
remainder, to make up total Of
nine, will be named by the bank
ers, Obviously this gives the
Administration a strong grip up
on the policies of the reserve
board. The President will have
the naming of not less than six
members and through them In
fuence the entire supervision of
the currency issues.
This provision absolutely safe
guards the new system from the
standpoint of the borrower. It
will prevent Wall street or any
other banking interest gaining
the upper hand in the control of
the currency that the bill is de-
signed to make available when
the necessity arises.
Each regional reserve district
is to elect a board, which is to
have jurisdiction over the de-
tails of such district and to pass
upon the affairs of the reserve
banks, subject, however, to the
supervision OF the Federal board
at all times.
At least one Federal reserve
bank is to be chartered in each
region with capitalization of not
less than $4,000, 900. This
capital stock is to be subscribed
to by the local reserve banks in
proportion to their own unimpair-
ed capital All national banks
will be eligible to membership in
the reserve association and such
State banks, including trust COM
panies. as comply with the rules
ofsthe association.
This local reserve bank is to
take the place of the present
Government repositories. It is
to be located in such business
center in each district as the re-
serve association may name.
Branches of the reserve bank may
be established in the local dis
tricts, one for each $500, 900 capi-
tai of banks participating in the
reserve association.

Last Day of the Fair

The closing day of the Lamoille Valley
Fair opened cold and cloudy. continually
interrupted by drizzling rain. This
combined with the uncertainty of Wed.
nesday's weather doubtless kept many
from attending. However, there were
many whose ardor was not to be
dampened by rain and at twelve O'Clock
the crowd numbered about 5000.
Promptly at eleven the races began. The
hitch-up and running races, also the tug
of-war constituted the forenoon's pro-
gram. In the afternoon the races were
excellent. The parade of premium stock
and the vaudeville stage attractions also
held forth. Amos R., the guideless won
der, did the halfin 1905 fiat. At seven
o'clock the flags were lowered and the
gates closed and the 10th annual LamoilIe
Valley Fair was duly declared closed
until 1914.
In spite of the fact that each day the
| fair has been broken up by rains, the As
ISOLATION states that this years Fair was
one of the biggest and best in its history.
The summaries of Thursday races follow:
