the country. Announcement was made
in Washington that all parts of the
country would be amply supplied.
The issue of additional banknotes
was not demanded 50 much by domes
tic currency needs as it was desired to
supply the place of gold and its equva
Tents. leaving the banks in possession
of the gold, with as little paper money
in circulation on which gold might be
demanded as possible. The banks will
aim to keep gold certificates out of cir
culation as far rs feasible in order to
prevent gold being drawn for export.
They also will aim to keep grecnbacks
in their vaults in order to prevent their
presentation to the treasury depart
ment for redemption in gold by pros
pective exporters.
In order to accomplish this it was
necessary that they should have add
tional banknoteS that could he substi-
tuted for the paper money thus prac-
tically withdrawn from circulation.
These banknoteS, which are exactly the
same as any other banknotes in form
and differ only in being secured by de
positS of state and municipal bonds or
commercial paper instead Of govern
ment bonds. will fulfill every function
in domestic exchange of those forms
of currency on which gold may be
drawn from the banks and the treas
ury
The demand for currency from the
interior for crop moving purposes,
which is heavy. can be met equally
well with banknoteS. but the banknoteS
cannot be used by those desiring gold
for export To carry out this policy it
was forcScen by the bankers that a
large addition to the outstanding bank
note circulation would be needed. and
they acted promptly in putting the url

emanate, from I'M democratic sources.

Wilson Democrats Platform


Milwaukee Journal: The Wilson
Democratic state platform is the best
platform we have yet seen. 1t objects
to certain things in state government
and tells why it objects to them. 1t
talks about commissions and says what
commissions it means 1t proposes to
reduce state expenses and states now it
would go about reducing them. In all
these things it is in striking contrast
to the platforms that have appeared so
far, which have all proclaimed the
no clear plan for going about it, have
talked vaguely of commissions with the
apparent aim of making sure of reac
ton, whether retrenchment should
come or not, or else have seemingly eX
pressed feeling that they must prom
Use economy without knowing just why
or how. The new platform knows
what it is about. 1t does not merely
declaim and promise, but actually has
plans. And it does not find it necessary
to oppose the great movement that a
Democratic administration is leading in
the United States because it believes a
check should be set on extravaganza in
Wisconsin, 1t is the most intelligent
platform we have seen yet, Il statement
that will command the respect of
opponents and the support of self
peCting Democrats.

ter being amended to include also YES
sells plying between gulf points or

will give the president the power in
the present emergency to admit for

were enlivened by the presence in
Washington of Mayor Curley of Bos-

The bill that passed the senate is

the answer is here now TOT al HOIsS O"-i-

rapid transit. It is the displaclng OF muscle
when land was $50 an acre. and when
horses were $50 apiece, there was no urgent
need for engines, either in the city or on
the farm. But today we have an entirely
different situation Land, ordinary farm
land, has gone up in price until it touches
soon an acre. Horses, ordinary horses.
without a pedigree, have gone up in price
until $1,000 will only buy three or four Of
them.
Land has gone up in price. and partly IN
quality through the development OF scien-
tific agriculture Horses have gone up in
price and not in quality. Motor cars, on
the other hand, have gone up in quality
and away down in price They were never
so strong and so reasonable in price as
they are today

one end to the whole matter. The laws OF
business are inevitable as the laws OF ma
