ENEMY OF RED TAPE.
Democratic Simplicity Takes Place of
Gold-Laced Military Aids-Execu-
tive Mingles With People.

Washington, March 4.-The Demo-
cratif administration of Woodrow
Wilson was one year old to-ay. For
absolute defiance Of ancient instltu-
tions and precedents it has eclpsed
that of any other Chief Executive
since the early days of the republic.
The two big thinss in legislation
achievement were the tariff and cur
rency bills. These measures are
bringing about conlition of prosper
itv in this country which directly
benefits the wage Garner and sinai;
business men rather than the stock
holders in the big corporations.
The first thing Mr.. Wilson did after
subscribing to the oath OF office was
to hand real wallop to society" as
it is represented in Washington. An
nouncement was maze that Democrat
ic simplicity was to be the rule. IN
stead of gold lace military aids to
trail his every step and interpose their
bulk between the President and the
common people civilian garbed ply
sician and a husky, blonde, well dress
ed secret service man lolled about and
the President saw whomever his fancy
dictate untra meled by rigid rules
and red tape. The Office of his secre-
tary was thrown open to the pubic
generally and the President woule
emerge from his private Office fre-
ouently to mingle with the popplace
and transact business on the jump.
When Congress assembled instea

of the trained platform orator, wltn
the result that, while the first mes
sapa was listend to in silence, his last
the trust document, was punctuatet
by real applause from friends m
foes. And the Presidents room III the
Capitol building-an ornate chamber
reserved in the past for occupancy on
one day session only--haS been ire
ouently used. Instead of sending Tor
the members the President went t.
tharl, with the result that patronage
muddles have been cleared up witt
unheard of expedition.
Instea'!, of seclud;ng himself IRON
the newspaper correspondents, the
President has granted open audIen"
to all properly accredited newspaper
correspondents twice weekly. He ma
withstood fire Of questions, often
hostile, regarding politics, and has
answered even more frankly than
might have been expected.
That time-honored institution, the
New Year reception went by the
hoard. The reason given this year
was that the President was sick ana
needed a rest. Next year there VIII

Rumor whispers that certain OF the

lines are perilously near the discar,.

who presented to the commission
statements in behalf of Mr.. Barksdaie
were Delegate Montague, Delegate
Kent, am Delegate Spatig, who said
that the State bank examiner had ap-
peared before the House at their re-
quest.
The reason behind the conference
grew out of the assertion that State
Bank EXahriner Barksdale hai spent
a large part of his time since the
opening of the General Assembly on
the floors of the two houses and In
the lobb:es working in the interest of
bills affecting his advancement. The
Commission desired to know whether
this had been to the neglect of his Of
fetal duties.
The bills urged by Mr.. Barksdale. In
addition to increasing his salary from
SO, 900 to $4,000 annually, were to ere
ate a Bureau of Banking, taking that
function Of the state government from
unser the jurisdiction of the State
Corpora tion Commission. In addition,
thew were to change the term Of Office
of the State Bank Examiner from
four years to life, to give him unre-
stricte power in the appointment OF
assistants and the entire supervision
of the fund raised by bank taxes, with
the provision that no portion of that
fund should at any time revert to the
State Treasury. The State Bank EN-
aminer was to be given power to for
bid the establishment of any bank
which ne considered against the best
interests of any cmiunity and was
made comptroller Of insolvent banks
to replace the present rece!vership
system.
Four bills to increase Mr.. Barks-
dale's salary and the enlargement OF
his powers were introduced in the
