planters of the islands tremendous
hard blow, said Mr.. Amy, but for

INTRODUCES BILL
TO HELP BUSINESS

Washington. Oct. 2o.--rmportant
legislation designed to improve the A.
nancisi and commercial situation
6rcught on by the war is proposed in
4 sNso bills reported 20 the House today
ny the committee on rules. One OF
the bill provides for important
changes In the federal reserve act
calculated 70 relieve the money situa-
ticn. The other hill provides for fed
eral Inspection of cotton and grain

which are used upon such products as
negotiable status IN banks of national
currency associations that they 30 not

The bill proposing changes in the
Federal reserve act also provides for
the issuance of $3.50, 900 in cur.
rency, or an issue OF $40 1000. 900 of
Panama Canal bonds. the proceeds of
watch are TO be used in relieving the
situation In the South that obtains IN
I the cotton and tobacco trades.
4. ne two bills were reported 10 TIE
House today under gag rule devised
by the committee on rules.
The changes In the federal Tcserve
act authorized by the bin reported 10
the House today are of great impor-
tance TO bankers and business men.
Ons OF them provides that the amount
that may be loaned on commercial
paper may he 100 cer cent OF the un-
impaired capital and surplus OF a mem

limit now fixed by law.
TodAy's debate IN the House fore
shadows the defeat OF the cotton cur

proposed changes In tho federal re-

for the reason that they are approved
