Continuing. the speaker said:
The bankers of the country should
strike out boldly and fearlessly and
should refuse to permit the imputa-
tons that have been laid upon them
and their business to so unchallenged
They should not allow the politicians
TO use them as buffer for their own
selfish purposes
AT no time in the history of our
great country has there been such a
necessity for cautious and conserva-
tive action as today. and progress can
only come through the creation OF a
safe and sane public opinion.

Currency Law Principles Sound.

Reynolds said the fundamental feat
ures are in the main sound and will
be supported by the bankers. Now
that the step has been taken" he said,
Il believe they will be ready to do
their full duty in bringing to the
country such prosperity as we may
reasonably anticipate under present
conditions.
President Reynolds. however, had
much fault to find with the bill as
1t stands and explained his objections
in detail. Government control was his
chief objection.
1T Is a just criticism of the measure
to say that 1t does not take the gov
eminent out of the banking business,
and that 1T confers upon one OF our
government officials an extraordinary
power and discretion. unwarranted by
the spirit of our institutions and re-
pugnant to republican principles.

Washington. Oct. 14.--An ugly sisu-
administration. as result OF the de-
mand OF Southern senators and rep
resentatives that the federal govern
ment shall adopt some plan OF finance
to relieve cotton planters and dealers
in the cotton producing States. The
administration is opposed to the is
surance of bonds or currency as a
means of ameliorating conditions in
the South due to the inability of that
section TO find q market for cotton.
The responsible leaders in congress
are aware OF the presidents opposition
to the measures that have been ad-
vanced for the relief of the cotton
producing States They declare that
Senator Smith, Of Georgia, and other
Democratic leaders who are advocat-
Ing the issuance of bonds or currency
for the relief Of the cotton producing
section, are playing to their constitu-
ents with no hope whatever that con-
'gress will harken to their demands.
