amendment introduced by Represent

the house aud there rejected, provd-
ing for tlve-year farm loans. In ad-
dition, six months credit is extended
on agricultural paper, such as ware
house receipts. The house instructed
its conferees to leave these two pro-
visions 10 the bill.
"This currency bill," said Senator
Owens, its sponsor, sis the most i'm.
portant piece Of legislation since the

trating reserves of 25. 900 banks into
the greatest banking association ia

'It provides for mobilization Of
these reserves and for keeping them
liquid and quickly available IN form
of cash. 1t provides for issuance Of
elastic currency through federal re-
serve notes, which may be put out on
security of commercial bills on short
maturity. IL establishes an open
discount market, which America
never had before, market wherein
commercial bills and paper may be
discounted at all times at low interest
rates. 1t safeguards the two per cent
bonds.
