reserve agent, one of whom will
be stationed at each regional
reserve bank, will accept the
note as collateral security for
the loan to the regional reserve
bank of treasury notes of the
United States for the full
amount of the note so deposited
as security. The government
is only going to charge one-half
of one per cent interest for the
loan of the treasury notes. The
treasury notes purport on their
face to be obligations of the
United States, and are redeem
able in gold at the treasury of
the United States on demand.
Interest rates, even on short
time loans, ought to come down
to d or 5 per cent under the new
law. One London writer says
that Americas new currency
law will have a greater effect on

will the opening of the Panama
canal. Certain it is that we
shall have no more artificial
panics, as men can hereafter get

banks--has received favorable
comment from farm journals all
over the country, but has not
been mentioned in Portland. Of
all the rural credit bills pending,
mine is the only one which pro-

cost $500, 600, 900. or twice the
cost of the Panama canal, and
could yet pay for same in less
than IL years by carrying only
half our outgoing and incoming
commerce, at the rates it is now
carried by the ocean steamship
trust. This fleet would have
the capacity to carry all our COM
merce. Since made that
speech, Senator Lewis, of IL
linois, has introduced a bill in
the Senate providing for 100
government ships. His bill also
provides for government ac-
QUESTION of the railroads. We
could take over the railroads at
the price they claim they are
worth, increase the wages they
are paying, and then pay for the
railroads in 10 years. But if we
take them over, it will be at
their physical value, which is
about half their claimed value,
and it is upon the latter that
they are now charging the
American people freight and
passenger tariffs to the tune of
S30.57 per capita per year.
The Glass-Owen currency bill
will soon be in operation, and i'll
will revive business, and give
TO our people as much prosperity
as we have ever enjoyed. But
even then they will not be get
ting what they are entitled to,
nor will they get their full dues
till the measures | herein advo-
cate are passed. But the cur
rcncy law is a great measure,
and it is by far the biggest bill
of the present administration.
BY the new currency law the
country is divided into IL re-
gional reserve banks. San Fran
cleo is headquarters for this dis
trict. Each bank within the
district subscribes to the region
al reserve associations stock to
an amount equal to 20 per cent
of the stock of the local bank.
When the IL regional reserve
banks are so organized, which
will be within a very few weeks
now, the government is going to
loan to the regional reserve
banks all the currency they
desire on collateral security.
The modus operandi will be this:
A local business man wanting
TO borrow so, 900, or any other
amount, will go TO the local bank
and deposit his note for 80 days
for the amount he borrows.
The local bank will endorse the
note and forward il TO San Fran
cisco to the regional reserve
bank, where il will be again
