John p Rockefeller. talking to a
Cleveland clergyman, said one day,
with whimsical but rather sad
smile:

about my love of money and my disre-

pect? Fifty cents here and fifty cents
there-it soon mounts up.''

tee found the country prosperous and
learned that bankers and business
men are confident of the success Of
the new banking system.
In a supplemental statement Secre'
tary McAdoo declared he hoped the
new system could be established in
time to take care of crop-moving con-
tingencies next year, but that If it
were not, the Treasury Department
would stand ready to replace its funds
again at the disposal of business
men.
The committees statement is in
part:
1--WE have spent practically from
January to the present time in hear
ing the views of business men and
bankers on the problem of dividing
the country into not less than eight
nor more than twelve districts and of
locating in each district the main of
flee of a federal reserve bank. OF
the two questions the division of the
country into districts is the more
important and difficult The commit
tee asked those who appeared before
it to direct their attention to these
two problems. A great many able
and impartial business men and bank
ers have submitted their best infor-
nation and opinions and always in
a spirit of great fairness.
Hearings in Eighteen Cities.
"The committee has held hearings
in eighteen cities and has heard
from every community of consequence
in the sections of the country it has
visited.
"In every section of the country
the committee has found a practical
ly unanimous conviction that the cur
rency bill will bring about most bene-
ticial changes in business.
The committee was presented with
overwhelming evidence of the uniform
economic strength of the country and
of the rapid progress of every sec
ton. The fact that the nations bank
ing resources as a whole made enor-
nous advances every twelve or fifteen
years, approximately doubling in each
such period, was made evident; while
this is true of the country as a whole,
it was shown that certain sections
are advancing with more rapid strides
than others and that the country is
fundamentally exceptionally sound
and strong economically. Facts and
figures in every part of the country
show amazing growth and strength
and disclose condition of financial,
industrial, commercial and agricultur-
al soundness and prosperity that
leaves no doubt as to the future.

Confidence in Currency Law

"The committee was impressed by
the frank admission of bankers that
the present banking system not only
encourages but actually has created
artificial banking conditions. With
practical unanimity the opinion was
expressed that the new measure will
restore normal conditions with great
resulting benefits; that the present
system not only furnishes no proteC-
ton in times of real stringency, but
also even in times of great prosperi-
ty makes it impossible to meet the
conditions; and that there has been
presented the singular contradiction
of having bankers thrown into fear of
panic by the emergence of wealth.
Bankers unanimously were of the opin-
ion that the establishment OF this re-
serve system no longer will make or
prosperity a peril and that it will re-
lieye them of apprehension and dis
tress in those circumstances, aud

A summer home in the heart of the
Rocky mountains for the presidents of
the United States, built and presented
to the nation by the citizens of the %
states west of the Mississippi is pro-
jected ty citizens of Denver. Six hum
dred and forty acres of land on Mount
Falcon, Is miles west of Denver, has
been given as a site, and a consider
able part of the 100000 which it is
proposed to spend in the construction
of the building and the development of
its surrounding park has been sub
subscribed. The formal laying of the
cornerstone is to take place as soon as
President Wilson can find an opportun-
ity to attend the ceremony in person.
TIE purpose in view is not only to
provide a sumptuous and appropriate
summer home for the head of the ma
ton, but to bring those responsible for
the administration Of affairs in Wash
| ingtcn into closer touch with the West,
its needs, and its interests. To this end
the building has been planned so as to
provide ample room, not only for a
home but for the presidential offices,
as well as accommodations for other
public officials, space for public gath
erings, and suitable accommodations
for visiting ambassadors, governors
and other dignitaries.
Constructed Of granite and marble
over steel frames on concrete founda-
tons, the building as planned is to be
castlelike in general effect fitting into
the rugged, rocky surroundings. An
area of about 40 acres on the summit
Of Mount Falcon has been chosen for
the house itself and it's immediate
grounds and gardens. The approach
will be from the south, over a crest or
