TOREvOL.UTIONIzE
BANKING SYSTEM
Currency Bill Divides Country
Into Reserve Associations.
ALL BANKS MUST BELONG
The Government Will Have an En-
phatic Voice In Management of the
New Scheme.


Administration leaders began an
earnest effort to whip the currency
bill into final shape and get into &C.
cord on every detail.
With fundamentals and essentials
agreed upon by President Wilson, Sec
retary McAdoo and Chairmen owen
and Glass, of the senate and house
banking and currency committees, the
leaders will attempt to perfect it as an
administration measure.
The fundamentals of the bill as
agreed upon have been published from
time to time The measure would reVo-
lutionize the banking and currency
system of the United States, and II
has been the aim Of its trainers 10
place the financial system, especially
the issue of currency, under the con
troll of the government.
AS now agreed upon, the country
would be divided into not less than
twelve regional reserve associations,
and all national banks will be compell-
ed to become members of the reserve
association in their respective disH
tricts. State banks will be eligible to
membership.
The reserve associations will organ
ize federal reserve banks in each dis
trict with a minimum capital OF $5,-
100000, which will be supplied by the
membership banks at the rate of q
per cent of their capital. These reserve
banks will receive the deposits of the
federal government and thus prevent
the treasury department from locking
up great quantities of money from cir
culation. The reserve bank will be a
bank of banks with the privilege of re-
discounting commercial paper.
In the place of the national bank
notes, which will be retired over a
period of twenty years, the govern
ment will issue to the federal reserve
banks a new kind of currency, prob.
ably to be designated as federal re-
serve treasury notes." The limit of this
issue will be s500,O00,0O0, and 1t will
be backed by commercial paper OF
prime quality, or other valuable SO
curity Elasticity will be given the sys-
tenn in this manner While these notes
will not be secured by gold, they will
be redeemable in gold by the treasury
or the federal reserve banks.
Means are taken to protect the Unit
ed States per cent bonds, which now
form the security for the national
bank notes by permitting the grad
uated retirement of these notes over a
period of years, and their. exchange for
8 per cent bonds without the circulat
ing privilege.
The government, leaders declare,
will have an emphatic voice in the
management Of the new system. Direc'
tors of the federal reserve banks will
consist of three members chosen byI
the federal reserve board, one of whom
shall be chairman; three members t:
be chosen by the public interests IN tn"
district, and three elected by tn
banks. The federal reserve board will
consist of nine members, composed O.
the secretary of the treasury, secre
tary of agriculture and probably an
other cabinet officer as eX-officio mem
bers, and three members chosen by The
president of the United States anf
three by the central reserve banks.

EARLY MORNING FIRE.
Smoke Pouring From Basement of
Jones' Bakery Calls out Depart.
ment Early Thursday morning

Denison folks were aroused from
their slumbers at an early hour last
Thursday morning by the ringing Of
the fire bell and at the rate at which
it was changing it gave the impression
that the whole town was in danger of
being consumed by fire. Fortunately
this was not the case, however, and
folks who were ambitious enough to
venture out at the hour of 4:3O were
for their efforts.
Smoke pouring out of the basement
windows of the Jones bakery aroused
the attention of Nightwatch Strain
who supposed the whole basement to
be ablaze, and he hurried to the city
hall and gave the alarm.
The fire was confined to the big
bake oven in the basement, the wood
in the firebox having been ignited by
the heat, and very little if any dam
age was done. Marshall Jones arrived
on the scene "a few moments after
the alarm had been give and assured
the firemen that there was no need Of
the hose or bringing the
chemical into service. Several times
a fire of like nature has occurred at
the Jones bakery, but no loss has ever
been sustained.

The History We Want to Read.

fedCo Is inc Cnllu vi war lit
present generation is enjoying
throughout the most highly civilized
portion of the earth, period of quiet
and peace such as is perhaps unpre
cedented in the history of the world
Not that all war has ceascd-a look
at the newspapers is enough to con-
vince us of the contrary-but such
wars as have been waged within the
last forty years or so have not-in the
western world at least-drawn flame
and sword through our very hearths
and homes. have not even disturbed
industrial and mercantile pursuits in
any distressing measure. The arts of
peace have continued comparatively
undisturbed.
Thus a generation has sprung up
for whom war and military pursuits
are of academic rather than of vital
interest But the writing and teach.
ing of history has Jagged behind the
general spirit of our time. The schol-
astic historian is often still content
to recount for us the catastrophes and
intrigues which convulsed the nations
in their struggle for light and life.
For the truly essential factors of hui
man life-industry, commerce, econo-
mic conditions, science and art-these
historians" have at most a passing
reference here and there. But, it may
be urged, such topics are reserved for
specialists, for works on the history
of industry art, science and so forth.
The retOrt is, then the history of war
belongs to the specialist in military
science. Surely his field is more re-
mote from general interests. at the
present day, than that of the manu-
facturer and merchant. If, therefore,
the general history written and
taught for the benefit of the general
public, is to borrow las it must from
specia fields. surely it is more natural
that it should select chapters from
the history of science. art and politi-
cal economy, than from the records
of war;
We may compare the wars through
which a nation passes in the course
of it's evolution, to the sicknesses with
which an individual battles on his way
through life. What would We say of
the author who should write the biog-
raphy of some great man, and content
himself with an account of his strug-
giles with the measles, Group and
other ailments which he successfully
encountered, until at last the grim
enemy won his accustomed victory?
Such an account might indeed be of
interest to a specialist-tO the medical
practitioner. To any other person it
