THE committees are at work on the
appropriation bills and II is hoped to
have them all passed by March 4.
While they will be great reductions
from the<estmates. the appropriations
will be sufficient to avoid hamperns the

At a proper time I intend TO suggest
some amendment TO the Federal Reserve
plan which will look to establishing the
original Republican programme of sim
gle central bank with branches. This
would make II possible for the system
to accomplish the results for which it
was Intended, namely. the provision of
proper financial facilities without any
intention of earning profits. The present
difncuity is that the regional banks are
IN competition with each other to- earn
as nuch money as possible, and it is not
desirable situation.

METHODIST BISHOP FINDS
AGE IMMORAL AND GREEDY
Dr. Nicholson Declares There Is Appalling Lack O.
Respect for Womanhood to Churches
to Save Modern Civilization.

Special Despatch to TIE NEW YORK HEaMp.
CHICAGO, Jan 3.-Bisliop Thomas
Nicholson of the Methodist Episcopal
Church issued an appeal to-day to the
churches to save modern civilization
from what ne characterized as the "tn-
moral and greedy" tendencies of the age,
The Bishop declared 1--WE are living in
an age of bold and adventurous men
in which there is an appalling lack OF
respect for womanhood."
The prevalent Iistlessness of the pres
ent age is excmplified. he said in the
fact that more persons stay al home on
Sundays to read the newspapers than go
to church

ministry to lift up it's voice against a
certain moral abandon of our people.

sioner in Charge of Transit.
Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD

Albany. Jan. 3.

Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany, Jan. 3.
AS soon as the new administration
settles down to business one of its first
problems will be the reorganization Of
the Public Service Commission of the
First district. in New York city.
The Governor. 1t is expected, will ask
for legislation taking away from that
commission all authority over gas and
lighting rates in the metropolitan dis
trict, This power is to be transferred
to the upstate commission, which now
has complete regulation over telephone
and telegraph rates in New York and
transit lighting and gas rates upstate.
The Governor believes that the tram
sit situation IN New York city is so big
that the First District Commission
should devote It's entire attention to it,,
His position Is believed to be that the
upstate commission has complete or
ganization for handling gas and cleo
trio lighting problems and that there
Is no use duplicating forces for that
purpose by having the First District
Commission continue jurisdiction over
those rates.
Inc plan Is unucfstOou 10 ne W ia y
one transit commissioner In New York,
absorbing In one office the duties of
the existing public service transit con-
struction commissioners. BY lifting
out of the New York office the routine
of dealing with the gas and lighting
corporations the work would be eased
up SO that one transit commissioner
could handle the whole transportation
problem In New York.
nv aboiishing tho transit construc-
ton commission, now headed by John
III. Delaney, and establishing a new
single headed transportation commits
sion the Governor would be able to
appoint the new official. Not only will
this system prove more efficient IN
dealing with New York's serious transit
problem, but It is believed there will
be a big economy in the administration
of the office. Scores of Jobs will be
cut out.
