has been reported from Spokane

and Business

The new currency law has al
ready borne fruit. The great
banking house of Morgan has an
nounced it's withdrawal from di-
rectorships in 20 or more large
corporations, and financiers affil-
lated with the house expect to do
the same.
The gigantic capitalizations
and the immense financial power
welded by one banking house are
shown in the operations of the
Morgan house, which had So di-
rectorships in 13 banks and trust
companies, having total resourc-
es of 81, 406, 900, 900 and total de-
posits of $989, 100000: four di-
rectorships in insurance compan-
les and controlling stock in an
other, the total assets being ST.
249,00O, 900; 20 directorships in
IL transportation systems having
a total capitalization Of $4, 379,-
100000; IL directorships in seven
producing and trading corpora
tions, including the United States
Steel, Pullman and General Elec-
trio and others, having a total
capitalization of 81, 1889, 900, 900
total gross annual earnings ex-
cecding $399, 900, 900, and four
dir 1ctorships in three public util-
ity corporations having a total
capitalization of ST, ,O13, 900, 900
and total gross earnings of 1884,
100000. That made 63 director
ships in 80 corporations, having
total resources or capitalization
of $40, O,O36, 900, 1000.
Public opinion has been grow
ing against these interlocking di-
rectorates, whereby a few men
could control a great number of
industrial and public service cor
porations. The new currency
law is designed to prevent any
corporate control of the money
of the country, thus preventing
panics. The proposed laws
against interlocking directorships
aim to prevent a few men from
controlling manyindustries. And
the success of the financial bill
makes it certain that further re-
stricting legislation will event.

sees it coming, and is preparing

Legitimate business is not in
any way affected by the new
laws. But arbitrary fluctuations

men are bound to cease-by or

him say a private monopoly is
indefensible and intolerable.
The presidents use of English is
so concise and accurate that l
feel justified in saying that if it
is indefensible he will not defend
it and if it is intolerable he will
not tolerate it.
Mr.. Bryan called attention to
the fact that the country had ad-
justed itself without excitement
or commotion to the income tax
law, even men with large in
comes having in many cases ex-
pressed approval of the tax. Of
the currency bill he said:
THE advantages conferred up
on the banks are greater than
those conferred by any other law,
and yet these advantages were
conferred under restrictions and
limitations that protect the pub
lie. The law recognizes the SOW
ereign right of the government to
issue money and the right of the
people to control through public
officials the exercise of the bank
ing privilege"

The best judgment seems to
support the view that money, the
great desideratum in finance and
trade, will be both cheaper and
easier to obtain in 1914 than in
1913. The passage of the cur
rency bill is expected to be an aid
in this respect, whatever may be
thought of ultimate effects of the
possible imitation feature of the
new measure, which has sup
planted seriously defective sys-
tenn. Of course, any ill-consid-
cred rise like that of 1895, with
it's aftermath of deep depression,
is to be avoided, and the possibil-
tiles of Europe endeavoring to
further liquidate it's burdens in
American markets are to be con-
sidered in this connection, though
our immense. credit balance may
help us in this respect. Money,
however, should be plenty for
legitimate trade and industry in
1914, and the absence of burden
some stocks, owing to long con-
tinued hand-to-mouth buying,
should be helpful. -Bradstreet's

+ Conventions to reorganize the
republican party, movements to
bring the republican and pro-
gressive parties together, and
suggested changes in party or
ganization and leadership fill a
good deal of space in the news
papers, but in reality they are
quite unimportant. They don't
go below the surface. They
don't represent the voters. For
the most part, the voters are
just reading and thinking. The
get-together movements come
chiefly from republican office
holders who come up for reelec-
tion next year and know they
can't possibly be reelected as
things stand now officeholders
and other party leaders equally
worried about their tenure.
These efforts at reorganization
do not represent any currents of
feeling among the voters. Col

Thirty per cent Of blindness
in the state of Washington is
preventable," says Prof. w. B.
Hall, superintendent of the state
school for the blind at Vancouv-
er, who was in Olympia in
conference with the board of
control.
This percentage of blindness
is caused by 'opthalmia neona-
forum commonly known as ba-
by's sore eyes," said Superin-
tendent Hall, land results in
either total or partial blindness.
A simple treatment of silver nit
rate solution for these cases
would have prevented a tragedy
and retained perfect vision for
the child. Many states are
spending annually from $5, 900 to
$40, 900 through commissions for
the blind and in giving publicity
to the means for the prevention
of blindness.
"The state of Washington
should provide for an examina-
ton of the eyes of all students in
the Vancouver institute by the
best oculists obtainable, who
should determine the cause of
blindness and tabulate these
causes, so that operation or treat
ment or fitting of glasses may
improve the vision of some and
enable them to attend the public
schools. This would relieve the
state of the expense of special
education"

counties could be forced to pay
out still more money to state
boards. and thus the high tax
policy inaugurated under the Hay
administration could be main
tanned.
If a Lister legislature can be
elected next time. it may be that
this whole state accountancy
freak can be abolished; but the
people of the state of Washing
ton have lots of money, and their
vote may again be in favor of an
acknowledgements legislature.
So popular has become the sys-
tenn of giving school credits for
chores and household work per-
formed by the pupils of Spokane
county at their homes that
County Superintendent E. G.
Mcfarland is making a second
distribution of the credit blanks,
and has ordered 100, 900 of them
printed to supplement a 5000 Or
der which was exhausted in one
month from the time the plan
was started. Mr.. Mcfarland
states that 80 out of the 176
schools of the county are now
giving this credit and that new
ones are adopting the plan each
week.
The teachers say the system
has greatly aided their work, and
the parents are delighted with
it. Instances have come to at
tention where children who could
hardly be compelled TO do any
work before now eagerly perform
the tasks around their homes and
take the credits to school to get
the monthly half holiday that is
given for perfect records. Sew
eral schools have reported that
not pupil was tardy or absent
during the month.
The system allows one or two
credits for certain listed home
tasks performed on school days.
The perfect months record con-
sists of five such tasks performed
every day, making Is for each
school week and 100 for each
month. In conjunction with the
work, which must be done cheer
fully, not under compulsion, the
pupil must be at school every day
and never be tardy. Parents fill
out the blanks according to the
excellence of the child's per-
Torrance.
At the end of the term 10
credits are given on examination
so that a pupil who has done the
outside work and has never been
tardy or absent will have a few
credits to make up any deficiency
in examinations.
Another feature that Mr.. Nc
Farland is now extending is the
giving of diplomas to each per-
feet pupil making a perfect
years record. He says that 1000
such diplomas will have to be is
sued if the interest continues.
w. w. Dickson of Chewelah,
county sealer of weights and
measures, has made tour of in
spection throughout the county.
He reports that the merchants
have assured him of their Co
operation in enforcing the law of
measurements in all details, and
the farmers are all familiarizing
themselves with the statute.
The law touching small fruits
went into effect January l. Mr..
Dickson says he may have to
bring criminal prosecution in a
few instances where short
weights on some commodities are
persisted in. but generally he an
ticipates no trouble after the peo-
pie understand the import of the
statutes. One observation Mr..
