the call for a showing at the close OF
business December 81. 1914. John Skel-
ton Williams. controller of the cur
rency. has added quite number OF
new interrogatories, some, no doubt,
necessary by reason of the fact that
the report is the first called for under
the operation of the federal reserve

turn of mind of the controller and his
desire to know.
The report requires answering Of about
eighty questions Among some of the
new items which are to be answered are
the following:
Loans eligible for rediscount?
Rediscounts with federal reserve

Rates of interest charged on loans?
Ratio Of cash on hand to total deposits
Federal reserve notes?
Checks on banks in the same city or

Urges Suffrage Amendment.

The governor urged that the resolu-
ton to provide an equal suffrage
amendment to the Constitution passed
in 1918 be passed again this year in
order that it may be submitted to the
voters at the next election.
A good way to decrease the state
debt of approximately $125,500,0O0, he
said, was to eliminate some useless
state departments and reorganize
others.
In proposing the changes the gov
ernor accused the democratic party of
having increased not only the num-
ber of state officials and employees in
the last four years, but also of raising
salaries recklessly in nearly all de-
partments. He said the increase in
positions was "explainable only by the
existence Of a deliberate plan to
fasten the control of a party upon the
state by the use of vast amount of
official patronage.
