GLASGOW GIRL
BURIED TODAY
Popular Young Woman of That
City Dies Here From After
Effects of Influenza.

Funeral services of Miss Gertrude
Beede, 19-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs W. c. Beede of Glasgow, who died
at the Deaconess hospital in this city
last Tuesday morning will be held at
Glasgow this friday afternoon with
the Rev. Mr.. Jeffries. pastor of the
Glasgow Methodist church officiating.
Miss Beede had been a patient at the
hospital for about four weeks coming
here with her mother to receive medical
treatment for her eyes. She had a
severe attack of influenza last winter and
her death is thought to have been the
result of this.
With the exception Of severe cough
she seemed to be gaining strength until
one afternoon, four weeks ago, when
while washing dishes. she became sud
denly blind. She was rushed to Great
Falls for treatment. She became partially
paralyzed and fell into Inconsistencies
last Sunday and remained in that con.
dition until death claimed her Tuesday
morning, 1t was later found that q
tumor had formed on the brain which was
the immediate cause of her death.
For some time she has been employed
as stenographer in an insurance office
at Glasgow and was one of the popular
young business women of that city.
A brother, Curtis Beede, and his wife
Of Havrc were in Great Falls Thursday
en- route TO Glasgow to attend the
funeral.

HASKIN LETT Err
Bv FREDERIC ]. HASKIN
SIMPLIFIED CURRENCY

Where the kinds of notes issued by
the Federal reserve banks are twelve
times as many as are necessary, the va
rieties issued by the national banks
are 5000 times as great as are needed:
There are more than 5000 national
banks. Each of these has the authority
to deposit with the treasury certain Sc
curities and have issued TO it certain
amounts of currency. On an average
national banks ask for a variety of two
and a half varieties of currency, notes Of
different denominations, thus making
10000 varieties altogether. The United
States treasury prints for each of the
national banks the different kinds of
bills for which it asks. 1t puts the name
of the individual bank on those bills.
Then it accumulates a stock of the bills
of that bank that il may respond to any
further demand for the currency. 1t al
so files away the plates from which
those bills are made and keeps them
against any future demand. In every
phase of the handling of the money of
the bank it must be assorted and an
individual record kept of 1t.
Now, this whole process, says Assist
ant Secretary Moyle, is confusing, com
plicated, unnecessary and expensive. No
purpose is served in printing a special
currency for q special bank and putting
rency. All national bank notes are guar
anteed by the Federal government. They
are dipped out Of the same general res
ervoir and eventually come back to it 10
be retired or reissued. They should all
be just alike. When a national bank
asks for currency ii should be given the
standard national bank currency. There
is no reason for printing special cur
rency for il.
II is Time for Reform.
Here is an example of the waste.
Special currency is printed for given
national bank. 1t has the name of that
bank on it. Stock must be kept ready
printed subject to the call of that bank.
The bank fails, consolidates with an
other bank, for some good reason
changes its name. The ready printed
currency at the treasury is no good. 1t
together with the plates, must be
destroyed. You can see ten or twenty
thosand dollars worth of such good
money being destroyed at the treasury
any day. If all drew from common
reservoir there would be no such loss.
1t has often been noted that govern
mental agencies grow in an unwieldly
way. always adding to themselves new
complications. The issue of money;
Judge Moyle holds. is sn example OF
this Tendency. The process becomes
SO complicated that administrative agen-
cies are too close to it to get the proper
perspective. 1t is necessary that the
problem be set out to itself, removed or
every possible confusing detail and
viewed for what it is. The purpose to be
served should be understood and the
simplest method of serving that pur-
pose should be determined. Proper
methods Of simplification and reform
should undergo the necessary tests to
prove their correctness, but when their
adyisability has been established action
should be taken. He holds that the time
has now arrived for a reform in the
method of issuing paper money and that
the government should perform the OBJ
viously necessary task.
