EXPLANATION OF THE NEW 4
CURRENCY LAW.
x*## x*# *#x## X

The following from The Richmond
Val Timcs-Dispatch contains "a
~ummary of the new currency law.
Many of our readers have protest.
ed Gus that they do not understand
the precise provisions Of the new
federal reserve act, and they have
asked us t oeXplain it for their in
formation. This we gladly do from
the first copy we have received of
the law as approved by Mr.. Wilson.
THE main purpose of the law is to
provide a currency which shall ad-
Just itself to the business needs of
the country---a currency ample alike
for periods of active business opera
ton and for periods of boarding. To
do this Of course, the Democratic
party has been forced to devise an
emergency currency system, based on
that surest asSet-SOund commercial
paper. The whole machinery Of the
law Is created to issue such a cur
rency, and to secure it beyond the
possibility Of panic or disaster.
"The secretaries OF the treasury
and of agriculture are at once to
divide the country into from eight to
twelve reserve districts, in each OF
which is 10 be located a federal re-
serve bank. Each Of these banks
must have a minimum capita. OF
100000 OF which amount ma
tional banks desiring to subscribe
can take stock equal to per cent OF
their paid up capital and surplus.
Any stock not subscribed by banks
can be taken by private citizens
though no individual can purchase
stock in excess OF $25,000.
Each of these reserve banks is to
be under the direct control of a
board OF nine directors, three TO rep
resent the banks, three others, chosen
by the banks to represent the busi-
ness interests of the district, and
three chosen by the federal reserve
board. One OF the last named class
OF directors is to be chairman OF the
distr'~' board and official federal

ing the Texas pioneers within few
through laborious centuries is follow
decades. Where the bison roamed,
within the memory of living men, the
college boys now play football. The

planted by modern homes of convenie-

AFTER GOD, THE MAN.
For IL months we have been study
ing long strecth of history most OF
1t in the terms of a few men. God
first; then man; both are indispen-
sable to the story. These are the two
essential factors of all history. We
may supplement the old catechism
statement, that The chief end of man
is God" by saying reverently, that
the cheif end of God Is man.
After considering Adam and Eve
and their sons, with a family prob
lem as modern as anything in today's
newspapers, we studied that great ad-
venture and "come-outer." Abraham

THE DIVORCE PROBLEM.
Some Factors Which Make Our Amer
lean Record So Bad.

North Carolina Education.
One Of the greatest questions that
the school has to deal with is the
homeless child. This does not mean
altogether the orphan, but those chill
dren who come from homes where
there is no family unity and where
divorce is frequently the remedy for
still greater ills. President w. A.
Mills of Hanover College gives the
following table which represented
conditions in 19O5:(
Ratio of divorce to marriage: Uni
ted States, one .ditoTce to every IL
marriages; switzerland, one divorce
to every % marriages; France, one
divorce to every 80 marriages; Ger
many, one divorce to every "A mar
riages; England, one divorce to every
400 marriages,
Not only does the United States
have 20 per cent more divorces than
all other civilized nations together,
but the ratio OF divorces to marriages
is even more discreditable.
The following distribution OF di-
vorces is interesting!
~ The divorce rate seems to be
higher among the wealthy and labor
ing classes than among middle class
families.
(2) 1t is four times as high among
childless couples as among those hav-
ing children.
CD 1t is more common among the
native-born than among the foreign
born.
C4 Divorce has increased with the
emancipation OF woman, and especial
ly as woman has found a sphere out
side the home.
C5) Divorce is exceedingly more
rare i'm Roman Catholic families and
increases with church laxity on the
subject.
(6) The divorce rate varies with
the story OF individualism.
The causes of divorce as deduced
from the above statements are:
(D Decay Of the religious theory
Of marriage.
t2) The growing spirit Of selfish
individualism.
CD The emancipation" OF woman.
The woman movement"
(4) Modern industrialism.
(5) The hOmelessncss Of the city.
Co Higher standards of living and
comfort.
(O Higher age Of marriage,
CS) LaXity OF divorce laws

ANOTHER PERIOD OF

TO REPUDIATE LOANS
Principle Function of Troops on
Mexican Border at Present is
Purely Humanitarian.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The ripple
of interest caused by the unexpected
visit to Pass Christian of John Lind
has died away and government Off
cials here have settled down to an
other period of patient waiting upon
internal developments in Mexico.
Any important change in the rela-
tons between the United States and
Mexico, they believe. ..rmrlst follow
some action taken~by one or the other
Of the Mexican factions.

has arrived at certain conclusions
that are not entirely reassuring as

leaders to establfsh a stable and sat
Is factory government In the event
General Huerta finally releases his
hold upon the reins OF power. 1t Is
believed here that the conference
with President Wilson on board the
cruiser Chester related in part to the
conditions that might arise in MeXi-
co, following the end of the "crumb-
ling" process and the elimination of
Huerta. State department officials
have been giving thought to the
treatment likely to be accorded for
eign creditors and other claimants
stitutionalists particularly in view of
the proclamation of General Car
rama early in the rebellion, of his
intention to repudiate all loans made
to the .Huerta government
Some of the money loaned to the
Uucrta government came from the
United States but the larger portion
was contributed by European finan-
clers Consequently the necessity of
some preliminary understanding be-
tween the United States and the
probable SUCCESSORS to the present
regime already has been considered,
with the purpose Of preventing dan
gerous collisions with the European
governments and also to protect the
rights OF American claimants.
Preparations fby the navy for the
midwinter mAneuvers in West Indian
waters havesled to the renewal of re-
ports that Several battleships Of the
Atlantic fleet, which made the Eu-
ropean cruise, are to be dispatched
to Mexican waters. At the navy de-
partment, il was said the original
plans made for the maneuvers re-
mained unchanged, except as they
have been necessarily modified by the
diversion OF so large portion Of the
fleet to patrol duty on the Mexican
coast 1t is frankly admitted, how
ever. that the ships at Culebra, Porto
Rico or Guantanamo, Cuba, would be
much more available for Mexican ser
vice than if they were lying In New
I,rk harbor and Hampton Roads
and that they would be ordered to
Vera Cruz or any other Mexican port
the moment the state department
called for them.
The principal function of the
American military force on the Mex
lean border at present is almost pure
ly humanitarian, the soldiers are sue
coring the Mexican sick and wound

ing neutrality laws.
Reports from the battleflelds of
Ojinaga and Nuevo Laredo, tend to
greatly minimize the nrst reports of
loss of life though they indicate the
fighting has been severe.

Upon these reserve banks and
upon the subscribing members banks
are placed strict limitations. The
reserve banks may issue currency in
the same manner as do national
banks, under the old law, but it is
not to pay more than 6 per cent divi-
are to set aside from surplus earn
ings one-half of one per cent the
year; all other earnings, except divi-
dendS, are to revert to the federal
government. The strict requirements
for the maintenance of reserves are
continued in so far as they relate to
member banks, with the provision
that seven-eighteenths of the banks
reserve must be placed with the fed
eral reserve banks. OF this, one
half may be in eligible commercial
and industrial paper.
Given certain necessary general
powers, the federal reserve banks
are to devote themselves primarily to
two things: they are, first, to redis-
count tn epaper of member banks,
notes
"The authority to rediscount the
paper OF member banks is of very
obvious advantage, but 1t is thorough
ly safe-guarded against possible dan
ger. Before q member bank can have

rency, the federal reserve bank must

and must deposit with him collateral,
equal to the face OF the notes for
which IT applies, which collateral may
be increased upon order OF the fed
eral reserve board. In addition, the
bank must pay such tax on this emer-
gency circulation as tn efederal re-
serve board requires and must keep
on hand a 40 per cent gold reserve to
cover outstanding notes"

ONE EXCEPTION
IN EACH FAMILY
Feature of the Income Tax Law
Explained.
A STATEMENT is ISSUED.
Collector of Internal Revenue For
South Carolina Shows Effect
of Statute.

One exemption to each family will
be allowed under the national income
tax measure according to ruling re-
ceived fro Washington yesterday by
Duncan C. Hayward, collector OF In
ternal revenue for South Carolina.
The ruling is to the effect that hus-
band and wife are entitled to $4,000
exemption for the aggregate income
OF both.
Following statement was issued
yesterday for the ONCE by Collector
Heyward: ~ ...o, ~, s,.-v
married person not living with hus-
band or wife in the sense below de-
fined whoh ga net income eceedinS
$4,000 per annum is liable to pay the
normal income tax under this law.
but In making a return for this tan
MAJ claim an exemption OF $4,000
from their total net income
Husband and wife living together
are entitled to an exemption of $4,000
only from the aggregate net income
OF both, which may be deducted in
making the return of such aggregate
income for taxation. However, when
husband and wife are separted and
are living permanently apart from
each other each shall be entitled to
an eemptlOn OF SO,OVU.
"If the husband and wife not liv-
ing apart have separate estate, the
income from both may be made on
one return, but the amount of income
Of each and the full name and ad-
dress of both must be shown in such
return.
"The husband as the head and legal
representative of the household and
general custodian of it's income should
make and render the return of the
aggregate income of himself and wife
and for purpose of levying the in
come tax it is assumed that he can
ascertain the total amount of said in
come.
IF a wife has a seperate estate
managed by herself as her own sep
arate property and receives an income
of more than $4,000 she may make
return of her own,Sncome, and If the
husband has other net income max
ing the aggregate of both incomes
more than $4,000 the wife's return
should be attached to the return of
her husband or his income should be
included in her return, in order that
q deduction OF S4, 900 should be made
from the aggregate incomes OF both.
The tax in such case, however will
be imposed upon Ouly 50 IuuCu vi lle
aggregate income Of both as shall eX
ceed $4,000.
"If either husband or wife separate
)y has an income equal to or in eX-
cess of $4,000 a reutrn Of annual net
income is inquired under the law and
such return must include the income
OF both and in such case the reutrn
must be made even though the COM
bined income of both be less than
$4,000.
eff the aggregate net income of
both eceeds 1000 an annual return
OF their combined incomes must be
made in the manner stated although
neither one separately has an income
of $4,000 per annum. They are joint
ly and separately liable for such re-
turn and for the payment of the tax.

the person claiming the specific eX-
emption shall Lc determined as of the
