COLORADO LEGISLATURE IN
EXTRAORDINARY SESSION.

The Colorado legislature assembled
in extra SESSION Monday and started
in upon a busy time which has been
getting buster every day.
Five bills have been presented,
mainly covering the points mentioned
in the governors call. The bill for
state militia payment will probably
be for a sum ranging from 100000
TO s1,000.000.
The states representatives are sub
jects of all sorts OF advice and conten-
tions, but II is probable they will has
ten through the business for which
they were called together as rapidly
as possible, ignoring outside demon
strations made in an effort to influ-
ence their actions.
They appear determined, however.
to stand by Gov Ammons in his ef-
forts for law and order, and to in
crease his authority and scope along
these lines.

Colorado Saves Most

Colorado leads the Western states in
the amount OF saving deposits. Ac.
cording to late report OF the comp
troller OF the treasury the savings OF
this state amount to s23. $500 900, an
encouraging gain over the last figures.
Nebraska is second of this group of
states with savings deposits amounting
to s1s.0O0.000. Montana comes third
with s13,400,000. Thrift, as measured
by the amount OF sevaings deposits, has
been attracting national attention of
late. There have been thrift cam
paigns In many cities of the country
and national thrift society has been
organized. Colorado's leadership in
this respect. among its class OF states
is regarded as IN honor OF Importance.

RICHARD oLNEY REFUSES JOB
OF FEDERAL BANK BOARD

President Wilson is again searching
for a governor of the federal reserve
board. After four months of painstak-
ing inquiry, the president has deter
mined on Richard Olney, former sec
retary of state, as the man to lead the
board which will regulate the nations
system of twelve regional banks, but
the latter has declined, being unwil-
ling at his advanced age, to undertake
new and very great responsibilities.
Many administration officials were
disposed to believe that Secretary
Houston of the department of agricul-
ture would be the man finally chosen
in Mr.. Olney's place. 1t is an open
secret that the president has wanted
to appoint Mr.. Houston to the federal
reserve board, but did not wish to
make any changes in his cabinet. 1t
is known that since Mr.. Olney's de-
clination the president has not fixed
on anyone, but is looking over the
field for another member of the board
He is said to be anxious to get New
England man, so that all sections may
be represented. Colonel William A.
CASTOR and Joseph O'Neill, both prom.
1nent Boston bankers, have been sug-
gested as possibilities for the board,
but it is believed the president will

is regarded by the president as an un
usually able man of broad views and
ability. He is looked upon as one OF
the leading bankers of the south.
DR.. Miller is trained economist and
long writer and student of finance.
This personnel follows the presi
dents original idea of securing two
bankers, Warburg and Harding, Mr.
Wheeler, an economist, and student OF
finance; DIR. Miller, and lawyer and
business man, Richard olney.
The declfnation of Mr.. Olney while
it was believed would be formally re
ceived some time today would mean
the selection OF another man who had
a combined legal and business train
ing.
Under the new currency law the
president SIS to have due regard for
the fair representation of the differ
ent commercial, industrial and geo
graphical divisions Of the country.
Not more than five members of the
board can be selected under the Law
from the same reserve district. Should
Mr.. Olney decline, the president would
be free to choose from any of the
districts not represented.
Appointive members OF the board
are to devote all their time TO the
boards business. Their salaries are
$4,000 a year.
The law creating the board provides

choose a business man with legal
training. The other four members of
the board selected by the president
are: Paul NJ Warburg of New York; ;
DR. Adolph Casper Miller of San Fran
cisco; Harry A Wheeler of Chicago,
and W. P. G. Harding of Birmingham,
Alabama
These men, together with the secre-
tary of the treasury, William G. Nc
Adoo, and the comptroller of the cur
rency, John Shelton Williams, who
are ex-officio members, have been Sc
lected to compose the federal reserve
board.
White House officials declined to
say when the nominations would be
sent to the senate, as they were await
ing today further word from Mr.. Olney
as to his acceptance. 1t was feared
by persons close to the white house
he would not accept, owing to his ad-
vanced years. Mr.. Olney has been
chosen for governor Of the board.
The other men, it is understood
have already accepted. While Mr
Wheeler is not banker, he has had
an intimate association with the in
dustrial and commercial world. Mr..
Warburg has made a study of German
and French banking methods and
knows finance from first hand con-
nection with the greatest financial
center in the country. Mr.. Harding

The borad is authorized to examine

full or worthless assets from books of

feature OF the new currency system is
the creation of a federal advisory
