thereby relieving as far as possible
the burden Of taxation.
This policy is prabably best ex-
emplified by the recent proposal

have saved the taxpayers apprcxi-
mately 100000 a year. Since, now
ever, this business was not on a

SENATOR GLASS
DENIES HOUSE
WROTE BANK ACT

NEW YORK, March II P.-Senatol
GlasA of Virginia, in his book on "An
Adventure in Constructive Finance,
which makes its appearance tomor-
row, takes sharp issue with the impli-
cation of DR. Charles Seymour, of Yale,
in his recent work, Intimate Papers
of Colonel House. that House was
largely the author of the federal re-
serve act, and Unseen Guardian An
gel' of the entire legislative proceed
ings
AS chairman of the house committee
on banking and currency, when the bill
was drafted Senator Glass told of the
incidents relating to the arduous pas
sage of the federal reserve bill through
congress and the unfai'ing aid of.
President Wilson in getting the law
on the statute books.
Senator Glass in his book says that
at his first meeting with Colonel
House the Texan avowed his interest
in the Aldrich banking plan and that
.it was patent that, among other
things, Colonel House had come or been
sent to Washington to look me over
as a horseman will lift a tail, or also
peer into the mouth of an animal to
be raced.
The senator ascertained that Mr..
Wilson lacked no confidence in him
and that 81 have yet to learn that
Colonel House was not an emissary Of
certain central bankers"
Senator Glass states that Colonel
House played no part in the committee
of drafting the bill and once when he
met Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
and Colonel House and discussed the
Glass bill that Colonel House was
quiet as a mouse. Colonel House later
obtained digest of the bill, Senator
Glass said, and sent it to Paul M.
Warburg, the New York banker
Senator Glass says concerning Col
onel House and the federal reserve act
that "inexplicable to this day is the
Sinclair alteration of Colonel House
in seeming to imaginefthat he was the
creator and preserver Of the federal
reserve bank system and that those
who actually conceived and wrote and
translated the measure into law are
Mannequins on which he fitted his
legislative designs"
President Wilson was opposed to
banking representation on the federal
reserve board and had his way against
all opposition, including Senator Glass,
the writer states. Senator Glass de-
clares that President Wilson always
quietly insisted that the great bankers
should not write the banking bill.

defining the charges printed against

classes. First of all he said Sapiro
had been attacked as an individual,
his characser and honesty as .,
man; second, an attack nd been made
on him il his profession as law
Yer regarding his loyalty and faith
lulness TO his clients. The third
ard most often heard was the charge
as to his work among Operative

was a member of an International

room was cleared of all who could
not find q place to sit down.
