OWEN BILL WOULD DEAL HARD BLOW
 TO SPECULATORS
Samuel Untermyer Sup ports Passage at
 Hearing

Washington. Feb. 4.-With repre- sentatives of the New York Stock Elk change appearing in opposition. to the measure, the Senate committee on banking and currency today began hearings on the Owen bill designed to prohibit the use of the mails, teIe- graph and telephone lines for the fur therance of unlawful or harmful stock exchange transactions.
 Samuel Untermyer, of New York was the chief witness in advocacy of the bill.
 '~The only debatajble propositions to my mind,'' said MT Untermyer, 'tare whether there can be effective regu- 1ation of the stock exchanges by Con gress without requiring incorporation and whether, if incorporation is neces- sary, it should be directly under fed eraI law or whether the Congress should enforce state supervision by prohibiting the use Of the mails, tele- graph and telephone in interstate communication to stock exchanges that are not incorporated under the laws of the state in which they are 1o- cated with state supervision and with such other safeguards as Congress may prescr5be.''
 Reasons for incorporating and regu- 1ating the exchanges were summarized by MT. Untermeyer as follows: gro prevent and punish the practice of frauds upon the public through man ipulation. matched orders, wash sales and like fictitious transactions by means of which apparent values are created for securities in the worlds markets.
 gro secure complete publicity of bankers, brokers and intermediates in the hotation of companies and the exposure of all salaries, commissions and other profits of officers and direc- tors. through the control of the de- partment of exchanges for the listing of securities and to prevent securities that have once been 1fsted from being stricken from the list without notice and the right of review
 MT. Untermyer asserted that incor- poration and rigid regulation of ex- changes was essential to the public protection.
 John G. MdIburn, attorney for the New York Stock Exchange: James B. Mabon, it's president; H. K. Pomeroy, a former president: and w c. Van Antwerp, one of the stock exchange governors, also appeared at the hear ing.

EDITO RIAL NOTES
BY j. ID. WATSON
THE European war is giving the advocates
OF big standing army, and big. navy
chance to air their views again, with good
chance of Congress siding with them.
General Wotherspoon, recently retired chief
OF staff IN his last report, recommends the in
crease OF the regular army to 205000 en-,
listed men, with this force augmented,
through a sysetem of reserves until there IS
created mobile strength of 100000 first line
troops, equipped for six months campaign
Added to this he recommends that. the
organized State militia be increased to 300,-
600, thus making an armed force of 100000,
exclusive of coast artillery
Admiral .4pEeyey, head Of the Naval Board,
is urging the building of four dreadnau&hts,
besides fifteen submarines and fourteen to SIX
teen gunboats Senators Tilman and
Fletcher, Democrats, and Borah, Republican,
are backing the Dewey plan, and Will make
every effort to put it through CONGRESS at tie
next session.
This increase in our standing army and
navy will cost the people another heavy load
Of taxes to carry, besides being a long step
towards militarism of the European type.
Already almost three fourths of the cost
VI IHIllliiI9 our government Is que 70 the COST
Of wars past, the cost Of keeping up our
army and navy, and the cost of wars that are
to come.
We are already spending nearly three
quarters of billion dollars each year in this
way, and the increase championed by Sella-
tors Tlllman Fletcher and Borah will cost
anywhere from $150000000 to $350O00000
thus making our tribute for wars past and
wars that are to come about 81 ,000O00000 per
year.
And it will not stop at that, for once this
increase is made in our army and navy, it
will be kept up at the same rate until we, like
many European countries, will be facin&
bankruptcy because Of militarism.
England2s statesmen have frankly stated
for the past several years, that their policy Of
trying to keep ahead Of Germany in arIna-
ment was driving the country into slow bank
ruptcy and that unless halt was called the
country would land there.
But we seem to be bent on going that way

A Democratic Program For
Georgia ia 1890.


WENIY-FOUR years ago, the Farmers
Alliance was building brush-piles on the
backs of Democratic terrapins, and setting
fire thereto.
Even the Atlanta Constitution got some
life into itself for a short while, and made
noises that were reassuring.
1t dld the same thing, you remember, some
few weeks before the August 10th primary
of 1914.)
In 1890, the Constitution was SO eager to
be Democratic and to take the wind out of
the Alliance SAILS that it published a fearful
roast Of the politicians who had been neglect
ing the interest Of the tillers Of the soil
The Constitution was the official organ Of
rock-rlbbed Democratic virtue. and this is
what the Constitution said that the grand old
party, would do, if.the people would only give
it a CHARGE:
'When the Democrats come into power in
1892, they will make haste to give to the til
tiers Of the soil these remedies, which cover
the whole ground

REAL ESTATE IN THE BANKS.
3. IHE REPEAL OF THE TEN PER CENT TAX ON
THE CIRCULATION OF STATE BANKS.
4. THE WHOLESALE REDUCTION OF FEDERAL.
TAXATION"
That editorial appeared in the Atlanta CON-
St5tution on July %, 1890
It had its effect. 1t fed false hopes. It
misled the confding. It convinced those who
were inclined to get their reforms inside the
party"
It inclined vaverers to give the Democratic
party a chance. Democrats were claiming
that they had never had one; and while this
was utterly untrue, the average citizen was
easy to dupe, because the Republicans had
elected the President, every time but one.
The people would not believe that Demo
cratic support, either in the House or in the
Senate had been absolutely necessary to the
passage of every bad law that was on the
books.
Therefore the people put the Democrats in
power The Democrats got their ''chance."
What did they do with it?
Did they give "the tillers Of the soil" the
free coinage Of sIoer?
On the contrary, they repealed the only law
that the Republicans had left favoring sill
yer, and thereby flung the country on to ''the
British gold standard"
Did they liberalize the national bank law?
No
Did they repeal the 10 per cent tax on
State bank notes? Not very much. They
