ANOTHER REASON For THE HANG.
Another reason for Federal reserve
bank In Richmond is the support given
the plan by the other cities of vir-
ginia and by business mon In other
States.
In another column we print this
morning an article from our Danville
contemporary, in which cogent reasons
for the location of the bank In Rich
worth the whole fight. When our
business friends In other cities rccog
ni2e Richmond's financial stability and
lend their efforts to get reserve bank
located in this city. they give evidence
OF good will and generous feeling more
valuable than trade relations and
more desirable than tho bank itself.
Tho more we study the proposed sites
Of tho various banks. the more are
wo convinced that Richmond will GER
tainly be selected. That part OF the
Union south of the Potomac north OF
the Gulf states and cast of the Mis-
slssippl must be In tho same reserve
district The business interests are the
came, the industries are almost identi-
cal. the trade channels arc well-es-
;abl!shed and the financial needs are
NJ the same seasons and for the Same
purposes. No section OF the country
can be found which belongs more nat
urally in n financial group than do tho
States of Virginia, West Virginia. Ten
nessee, Kentucky and North and South
Carolina
Once the unity OF this section be
admitted, Richmond is tho one city
Ideally located for regional bank We
have splendid communication to every
corner of all the nearby States: we
have financial Affiliations as old as
American business: we have business
understandings and industrial COOP
Grafton: we have everything that can
be desired The location OF the bank
In Richmond. with strong branches In
all tho principal cities Of our neigh
Dor States, will make this section
financially unaesailabio and industri-
ally regnant

think 1t would be good rule l am
thoroughly convinced or the wisdom
OF taking tho appointment OF the stand
ing committees out of the hands OF the
Speaker. I believe about the best plan
would be to have the caucus nominate
the chairman of each standing COM
mittee. and the other members OF the
committees to be selected by q com
mittee OF the caucus, which should con-
sist OF five members. each member of
the committee to propose one name
when the committees consist OF less
than eleven members. or two names
when there are eleven or more MEM
bers. the odd number OF tho commit
tees to be elected by majority OF tho
nominating commit,.c. II e. >ra should
be more than eleven mempcrs on
standing committee. the chairman
would be nominated by the caucus, ten
names nominated by allowing each
man on the nominating committee to
name two the number above eleven
to be nominated by majority vote
Of the nominating committee. I also
think that standing committee should
be required to report all local bills
within thirty days after the date when
hey gle placed on the calendar. If
the patron or Dill desires 1t to be
held longer. it could be held on n writ
ten request to tho chairman of n com
mittee by tho patron. However, all
local bills should be reported ten days
before the end OF session. whether they
have been In the hands of the commit
tee thirty days. No local bills should
be introduced after the forty-fft day
of the session, unless by consent of
two-thirds of the members of the
House. All general bills to DO intro
duced and reported before the hftieth
day of the session, unless majority
Of the members vote to allow a general
bill to be introduced and reported at
specified time after the fftieth day
am not committed to the candidacy
of any of tho gentlemen who are as
pirants for the speakership. Am glad
! to see so many aspirants In the field

will stick till the caucus meets I

OF the candidates Is broad enough TO
Justify the House In intrusting them
with the selection OF the standing COM
mittoes. BY this statement I do not
intend to reflect on the honesty or
Integrity OF any OF the candidates. The
same statement might with propriety
he applied TO any member OF the House

would rather trust the decision to the
whole House than to any single mem
ber
AS to question II, I have not any
definite opinion to offer. but can say
that the methods heretofore In vogue
are far from ideal. and anything which
would offer something better should
be tried.
am Interested In improving the local
laws and method Of working the pub
lie roads. and think the general road
law could be modified to give better
results I am also Interested In hav-
ing the State adopt a system OF fire
protection to the forests, something
along the line OF the West Virginia
law. The proposed wnrdens In the
game bill should have more authority
in prevention and arresting forest fires
than given IN the bill. and should CO.
operate with the Federal authorities, as
provided In the Wicks law.
AS to the enabling act, l expect to
vote for It,

ment with my position on the estt-
mated surplus. think 1t should be

am opposed to grab game. Moro
attention should be paid to n reduction
Of the State debt. When a State like
ours started with debt of something
over $4,000 600 In 1871, after scaling
1t down to that amount. can only show
decrease of less than 100000 in
fortytwo years. 1t is serious question
whether 1t has received the proper at
tention. The way / see 1t, the state
ment OF the Second Auditor that the
Public debt has been reduced something
over Sl2 0000 600 In forty-two years is
misleading IT appears to me that by
the 1871 settlement we Topped off Cor
repudiated) something over $4,000. 900,
and have only actually retired some
thing over s5.OO0.oo0 OF bonds since
that time by; paying and canceling
them.

our legislators arc much mistaken
Il they think their answers to the
questions asked them BY The Times
dispatch are of Interest only to this
Iinper The people OF Virginia want to
know the Views OF their representatives
Oh the great questions before them, and
they are reading with avidity the state
,nrnts we have been printing on this
;mEe under the caption. Views of Our
Legislators"
Many OF the members appreciate their
responsibility to the people, and have
forwarded us detailed replies to our
questions We arc extremely grateful
for the promp,ness of those whose an
ewers we have published. and we feel
that they have shown most commend
able frankness in stating their opin-
ions OF the issues they must decide
other members have failed to reply
to our questions, some because they
Mold that the people have no right to
Know how their representatives. Will
vote. others because they overlooked
our Communications In the rush OF the
Christmas season.
Most respectfully we would urge
those who have not done so to for
ward their statements without delay.
The coming week Will be the last op-
i,ortunlty the public viii have OF know
Ing the mind Of their representatives
before the Assembly eonvenes; answers
published after that time will be OF
llt;le Interest.
IN particular, we would call upon
our Richmond Delegates and Senator'S
to give their constituents definite
statement of their stand on those i'm
portant matters OF legislation covered
by our questions one of our Dele
gates is a candidate for the high Of
fee Of Speaker; others will have Inn
portant committee assignments: all
owe to the people OF Richmond frank
exposition of their Views. None OF them,
We take It, can afford to appear before
their constituents or their colleagues
as unwilling TO answer respectful ques-
tons regarding public policy.
The day OF eum-shoe legislation is
Fassed. Tho people demand of their
public servants frankness, positivcness
and decision.
