( Washington, Oct. 2l.-Confidence
lis the only thing needed to restore
business prosperity, President Wilson
told directors of the federal reserve
banks, whom he received at the
White House. The president declared
I he thought. business men were more
nervous than was necessary.
/ ''For my own part said the presf-
dent, II Believe that the best thing
that can BE- done for the country Is to
open, the banks at the earliest posAi-
BILE date; otherwise we would seem
to doubt their efficiency. Other
wise We should seem to discredit in
part the very thing that we are un-
dertaking.
For my feeling about the pres
ent situation is this: The only thing
lacking rs confidence. The circum
stances Of the world are extraordi-
nary, but we ought rpt to allow our
mental attitude to be, extraordinary.
We are more nervous than there is
cause for and II we go about bust
ness as II nothing were happening,
business will take care of US as we
take care of it. That is my convic-
Ftion.

exceed one cent q gallon.
1t was proposed later to eliminate
altogether the senate tax Of s cents

int The progress that is being ma de.
the bureau makes the statement that.
II the toll death rate had prevailed

have been 500 instead of $50. Thfs
means saving OF 1875 lives for the
