United States Government securities as
of December 81, 1881, which was equal
to AZ per cent Of the total deposits of
S7.696,590 900.

While the primary value Of the new
banking legislation is to place the Fed

ton to meet the gold drain from France
which, however, has not reached any
thing like the proportions Of that Of
last october and is not expected to

whose assets are in q frozen state will
also be important. The major effort
Of the administration and of the bank
ing authorities Of the country at the
present time is to provide freer redis-
counting privileges for member banks
and so strengthen their position and re-
establish the confidence Of depositors
An anticipated collateral benefit Of this
is the return Of monies that are now
being boarded. It is understood that
recently there has been an increase in
demand for gold coin by those who
have the boarding complex. Each day
the financial district in New York hears
remarkable stories Of the amounts Of
gold that are now seQuestered In safe
deposit vaults. One report today was
that the sum Of $5,0O0000 gold had
recently been locked up in the vaults
Of one local safe deposit company.
Amounts boarded ranging from $25,-
900 to 100000 have been reported.
Some Oppose Plan.
The proposed banking legislation
aroused further discussion today re-
| garding the Federal Reserve policy of
moderate imitation. Those who believe
that artificial measures will not cor
rect the present situation were opposed
On
there is already an abundance Of credit
available and that the trouble is not

unwillingness of lenders to release
funds.
The fact that the new banking pro-
visions are to extend over period OF
only a year is significant in that 1t
suggested the termination of the pres
ent banking credit strain by the early
part of 1888, whereas the loans OF the
reconstruction corporation may extend
over a period Of three years.
The philosophy Of those who advo-
cate moderate imitation is that there
will be no recovery so long as def1ation
in commodities and in securities con-
tinues and that the lesser of the two
evils of def1ation and imitation is an ex-
tension of rediscounting privileges
These, while they may enlarge the vol
ume of currency. will at the same time
put a supporting influence underneath
the financial and business structure
and prevent it from caving in entirely
1t is quite apparent that conditions in
banking have arisen that were not an
ticipated by the reconstruction corpo-
ration when it was first set up and that
| the emergency banking measures are
to adapt themselves to this fact and in
an indirect way strengthen the policies
of the reconstruction corporation.

Special Dispatch TO Ine Star.
NEW YORK, February 13.-The re-
action of Wall Street to the proposed
new banking legislation was immediate
and favorable. Stocks which had on
Wednesday approximated the low av-
erages of the depression advanced
sharply and there was firmer market
for bonds, especially those issues that
will be affected by the new redis-
counting privileges.
It was recognized that the suggested
temporary changes in the banking
laws will supplement the efforts of the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation and
cover a field not included in the pro-
visions of the law dealing with this
Government agency.
"Free Gold" Increased.
The chief benefit of the new legis-
lation will be that of increasing the
amount of so-called free gold" now
estimated at $465, ,000,0 900. Recently
the Federal Reserve Banks have again
been embarrassed by the steady with
drawals Of the yellow metal for French
account. In the past six weeks France
has taken approximately $128000,000
gold from its supply in this country.
In its weekly statement the Bank of
France shows another large increase
which will be added to next week by
the $l2,000,000 that has just gone out.
There is said to be approximately
$500, 100000 gold now 'ear-marked''
here to the credit of France and to
other European countries
Under the provisions of the proposed
banking legislation, a greater degree
Of efficiency will be given to the gold
reserves of the Federal Reserve System
by releasing gold now segregated as
collateral for Federal Reserve notes in
excess of the 40 per cent cover re-
quired by law. The actual gold cover
age of Federal Reserve currency has
recently been estimated at between rs
and 30 per cent, or nearly twice the

RAIL PROFIT GAINS
HOPED FOR IN 1882
Observers Here Believe
Groundwork May Be Laid
for Better Revenues.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,

Associated Press Business Writer. .
Hope Is strong IN Washington that
the present year will see groundwork
laid for re-establishment OF the invest
ment value of railway securities.
Earnings operation Of carriers, Just
made public by the American Railway
Association, leave but little doubt in
the minds Of competent observers that
the rail situation is serious detriment
to business recovery. and to this end
that hopes of railroad operators in
1882 may be, at least, partially real
lied.
The carriers, the American Railway
Association declares, operated at a
property investment return Of 1893 per
cent during the last year.
Decrease in Gross Revenue.
Gross revenues Of class l roads
during 1881 totaled S4,236 900, 900,
which marks decrease Of about
81 .207 .00o, 900 from the previous year.
Yet during this period operating ex-
penses were cut $711,O00,000 under
1890; effected, for the most part. by
a retrenchment in maintenance. 1t has
been brought out at the Interstate
Commerce Commission that much OF
this deferred purchasing has been in
directions where the need for new
equipment was actually acute.
The fact that the carriers were per-
mitted an increase in freight rates last
Fall at time when the entire industry
of the country was more or less
paralyzed is hailed by railroad officials
as recognition on the part of the Gov
eminent that steam carriers are vital
to economic life.
Rail officials consider the present
situation of the carriers has been
brought before the public, so as to
mould a very definite opinion favorable
to the carriers. This they view as q
vital and encouraging factor, on the
grounds that regulatory measures for
the roads are set up by Congress, and
this body is strongly influenced by the
dictates Of the public.
Railroad Men Optimistic.
Be that as it may, the majority Of
railroad men visiting the Capital have
adopted an optimistic attitude towards
the future An additional increase of
about sl00,000000 in revenues is in
sight for the year through the rate in
crease. while the voluntary wage re-
duction promises a saving of S2l5,000,-
900 additionally for the year. Both the
President and the Interstate Commerce
Commission have made encouraging
recommendations to Congress. and the
Railway Credit Corporation and the Re-
construction Finance Corporation both
stand ready to make loans to those roads
which are worthy and in urgent need
for credit.

ficers rather than serving their constituents, organized so as to amend the Auditors Act that it would be robbed of it's greatest value to the people.
 Through this agency, the Audi 1 tor was removed from membership on all Territorial boards with the sole exception of the Banking Board, and the effort to eject him from that body failed by single vote. I shall have something to say about the Banking Board later in the campaign.
 Super Board Created
 Then super-board was created, called the Board of Examiners. Through it practically the entire old system of administration was reinstated and old practices were instituted over the protests of the Auditor.
 And with what result?
 "The Territorial government has been operated in manner so ex- travagant, under the guidance and with the protection of the Board of Examiners that the Territory to- day is without adequate funds either in the treasury, or in ex- pected tax collections to continue administration of its affairs with out some of the necessary functions having to be curtailed owing to a lack of funds.
 The 1881 Legislature gave to the Governors office to be expended under direct supervision of the Governor 83 per cent of the total of all the appropriations.
 Opposes Such Authority
 "In my nlnid this is wrong in theory and in practice. I am op- posed to any Federal officer-Gov- ernor or whatnot-pa participating in the management of Territorial af- fairs. No one but elected officers of the Territory, of which there are five, including, the Auditor, Commissioner of Education, High way Engineer, Attorney General and Treasurer, should perform such duties.
 T believe in the principle of the primary law, and am opposed to any method devised that will de- prive the people of having full say as to who their candidates for of- flee shall be.
 Tn filing it should be known that I am a Progressive Republi- can in order that the mistake will not be made in associating the Cole campaign with those Repub- licans who urge the repeal of the primary law, or who would per- petuate control of Territorial ad- ministration by Federally appoint ed officers"
 Served Two Terms
 MT. Cole has served two terms. He was chosen by lot by the 1929 Legislature and received the unani- nous vote of both branches. Tn 1880 he was elected, defeating the De mocratic candidate, Thomas Gaffney, of Nome, by big vote.

The splen- did quality and the wide assort- fnent of goods together with the unusually low prices have combined to make a strong appeal to persons who realize the exceptional eco homie opportunity offered them.
 "Unquestionably, I think, the sale will prove the most successful in the history of the store and cer- tainly am sure, the most satisfy ing to customers"
