OUTLINE BY HENRY
OECURRENCY PLAN
Texas Member Explains the
Amendments to Bill Now in
House Committee.
LABOR AND THE FARM
WOULD HAVE A VOICE
Provision for Selecting Their Rep
resentations on the Govern
ing Board.
Kepresentative Henry of Texas has.
attracted widespread attention to him
self through his advocacy of radical
Intendments to the pending currency
Wtl. Mr. Henry gave notice several
"fceeks ago, hh was published In The
Htar at the time, that he' would hare
W>me Original ideas to suggest in con
nection with currency legislation.
Since that time he has matured his
ideas and framed them Jnto practical
form for presentation to Congress for
Its consideration. Mr. Henry does not
profess to represent any one but him
self In this propaganda.
"1 never try to build up a following."
said to a Star reporter, "but make
my own presentation in my own way
If large business and the bankers are
determined again tu force the govern
ment into paituership with tlte banks
and we are to disregard the teaching
of Jefferson. Jatkson. Calhoun. Benton
and Bryan and a^aln institute marriage
relation!) between the government and
banks In order to establish a huge and
permanent asset currency plan, then 1
unrtot that if we enrbark on this course
we <an K*? amend and round out the
tHass-Owcu hill as te permit the farmer i
and wage-earner to come into the
f-.rbeine upon the same terms, 'at the
tame cost and upon the Identical prill -
11 pie upon which we admit the banker
,md commer<Maii*t.
"For the take of argument at the pres
ent. assuming that the country must pro
vide an asset-currency to take rare of
the commercial paper wares of the banks
and tu make a market for them in times
of stress and panic, as they thsist. niy
esrfiest conviction is that we can at the
&atpe time and on the same plan take ?
? are of the legitimate interests of the j
'industrial' and ?agricitltBral' part of our
people, which names are frequently men- ]
tiu^ied in the bil!. hut \? hose interests.
are not guarded and provided for in its ;
multitudinous sections. Therefore. I have
prepared som> amendments that will im- ?
prove the bill, if we must take the prin- j
< ipiea underlying its provisions, and that j
n ill round out and perfect and vitaliie
Its various sections so that not only the j
commercial and banning world wnl he 1
accommodated, hut the agricultural and j
indifstrial (Interests as well shall share
:n the same benefits on the same terms.
, Representation for Labor.
."There is provision for giving repre
sentation on the board of control to a
bona ride representative ?5f industrial
labor, to be selected by the President
ftom a list of ten men presented for that -
purpose by the joint official board of the
American Federation of Labor; and also
for a bona tide representative of agri
culture, . to be selected by the President
from a list of ten men presented for
that purpose by the joint official boards
of any and all farmers' organizations
having a membership of ID.OOO each, in
cluding At present the National Grange
and the Farmers' Educational and Co
operative Union.
"It also provides that the retiring Pres
ident# shall become members of the fed
eral reserve board, under certain terms,
tp .take' the first vacancy that may- oc
<u*. excluding, respectively, the places
held by the tnree members representing
labor, agriculture and banking, and the
salary of such c :-Presldent shall begin
to run from the date of his commission,
and he rtiay. by order of the President,
oecome an advisory member of said board
until he is assigned to a vacancy. It
seems to n? absolutely just? that the
agricultural and industrial Interests of
the country should be represented on the
board ahd have their welfare thus guard
Mi In the Issuance and control of the
currency, which fixes prices and affects
wages in our country.
"Also I feel sure that it would be right
to provide that retiring Presidents should
thus be enabled to do a great service for
their country after going out of the presi
dency. i fits board is endowed by my
amendments with power fully to execute
the provisions in regard to the issuance
alia control of the currency by added
language that gives ?,..em somewhat lati
tudinous but necessary powers. The
*oard and th^ir kindred are properly elr
< umscrlbed in regard to their ownership
and control of hanks, stocks, corpora
tions and business institutions, and I
thlnx necessarily and properly wo. This,
ro me. Is a most essential and vital thing
to do. By this method we prevent the
el at Ives of the board from getting into
iqinks, corporations, and business institu
tions ? and through such nu-ans water
their assets and utilise their positions by
reason of kinship to make such reiation
>hlp valuable. It should be made a crime
if.such things occur.
To Benefit Agriculture.
"Why' not provide for agricultural
. nd industrial as well as the com
mercial Interests in issuing the cur
rency? It will be notedtthat the agri
cultural currency is to Inure to the
benefit of the agricultural interests
through the. reserve banks and to be
loaned to them on storage certificates
of warehouses, storage plants, etc., as
will appear in detail in the amend-,
i.ient. on scottou. corn and wheat, the
three great products of the farm. In
dustrial currency is to go to the states
and territories, on terms fixed in de
tail in the amendment, upon the de
posit of state, county and municipal
bonds, etc.. as will appear in the
amendment.
"Assuming that we are now brought
to the doctrine of asset rurreney. it is
my purpose in these amendments to so
shape the law that the agriculturalist
and the working man. th? wage-earner
and the states and municipalities can
walk into the banks provided for in
tilis bill, the fiscal creatures and agents
of the government, and secure this cur
rency identically upon the same terms
:tnd at the same cost upon which It is
issued to the commercialism the banker
iii'd the business man.
"It will be remembered that the demo
crats in Congress, with practical una
nimity, in on a record vote, regis
tered their judgment against asset cur
rency. the same principle, although in
somewhat narrower scope, being em
braced In the Aldrich-Vreetand bill.
Aenco our Judgment Is written in the
Congressional Record. A?id. furthermore,
the official executive committee of the
bankers' organization, in duly signed and
authorised analysis, assert that the Glass
Owen currency Is based on assets and is
asset currency, no matter what the bid
name* the government issue of notes.
"In my judgment there is not one par
ticle of difference in principle between
the assets, commercial paper merchan
dise and securities of the bankers and
business men and these certificates of
<leposit, bonds, etc.. the utilization of
which Is provided for in the issuance of
agricultural and industrial currency along
with commercial currency. The same
idea is carried out In my proposed amend
ment to,tiie bill with a view of bettering
a bin based on the wrong principle. My
contentions have not the slightest vari
ance from the teaching and doctrines ad
vanned by Jefferson, Calhoun, Jackson
ai)d Benton and statesmen of that type.
I" earnestly urge that these amendments
be carefully scrutinised and analyzed."
. Resolution to Refer Bill
Buried With Promptness
Although the House banking and cur
lency committee is powerless to bring a
finished bill out of Its conclaves at the
present time, it does manage to furnish
Itself and the re?t of the House with
plenty of excitement and i!? also milling
a record in producing a dally chaotic
condition, each day's product being more
Indefinable than Its predecessor. At the
chaotic session of yesterday afternoon th^
climax was reached when Representative
Ragsdale. one of the leading currency in
sttrgeirts. rushed from the committee
room, brandishing aloft what appeared to
be a copy of Representative Carter Glass'
newspaper, published In Lynchbwrg. Va
Mr. Ragsdale read an Interview with Mr.
Glass, in which the chairman was quoted
as saying the currency situation Is "aii
hailed up," and intimating that Mr. Rags
dale Is responsible.
"The split In the committee," which
in a very old and consistent performer,
made its regular daily appearance yes
terday when a motion was made to re
fer the currency bill to the House rlpht j
away and g?-t It away from the split-1
ting co.mmittee. Representative Wingo.
who had been to see the President,
made this motion, and it was buried
with a promptness which took the
breath from Mr. Wingo. The negative
votes were yelled so loud they could
be heard far outside the committee
room door, which is a large and solid
one. Representative Ragsdale wanted
to put the bill before the caucus Mon
day, without recommendation. This
also started the avalanche of opposi
tion.
In addition to discussing currency,
members of the committee discussed
courtesy after ironical remarks had
been made at one another across the
table. The committee will mec.t again
Monday.
EXHAUSTIVE BEVIEW OF BILL
New York Bankers Submit Pamphlet
Showing Defects in Measure.
Members of the banking and currency
committee have received, in printed pam
phlet form, an exhaustive review of the
pending currency bill, by President Frank
A. Vanderlip and Vive Presidents Joseph
T. Talbert and H. R. Eldridge of the Na
tional City Bank of New York city. Mr.
Vanderlip finds the separation of the man
agement of a financial institution from
its ownership to be the greatest defect
of the proposed law.
' It must not be forgotten." says Mr.
Vanderlip. "that the men who control
the capital invested in the banking busi
ness can and will withdraw that capital if
the conditions of the business do not, in
their opinion, warrant the continuance
of the investment." He adds that suc
cess in banking depends upon the con
tinued prosperity of the whole country:
that the Interests of the general i?ubllc
and the Interests of the bank owners are
identical. The conduct of the "central
bank" depends, therefore, on the closc
and continued touch to banking condi
tions possessed and maintained by those
charged with its management.
"Here, then, is the fundamental weak
ness of the proposed legislation, and it
is so fundamental that we may better
have no legislation at ;?11 than to "have
legislation in which the control of the
credit system of this country is dissoci
ate from the active responsibility of
bank management. It is with the deepest
regret that j reach this conclusion," says
Mr. Vanderlip. 'for I believe I see as
clearly as any one the profound need for
legislation and the tremendous impetus
that will be given our commerce and In
dustry If a banking system can be cre
ated that rests on correct economic prin
ciples."
FUNFUiES
ONSAFETY DAY
But Three Days More Remain
Before Glen Echo
Outing.
STBEET SAFETY SAY, j
GLEN ECHO PABK
July .10, 1913?1 to 6 o'clock.
This coupon properly filled out
admits to one amusement at Glen
Echo Park Wednesday, July 30,
1913, between 1 and 6 o'clock
p.m., if presented by a boy or girl
not more than sixteen years of
age.
(Copy here one of the safety
I rules printed below.)
"Safety first. Always guard
against accidents to yourself and
others."
"Always think, act and set the

when children of the District who ar?- In
terested in the campaign for street
safety will be entertained at the amuse
ment park. All that Is necessary for a
child enjoying any one of the many at
tractions free is to have one of the cou
pons printed in The Star. Be sure to fill
out the blank space in the coupon with
one of the little safety rules before pre
senting it at the park.
The children will be the joint guests of
the Street Safety Association, the Glen
Echo Park Company and The Star. It is
hoped to interest thousands of children
in the campaign through the "street
safety day." Every one will be welcome,
but the day will be primarily devoted to
showing the youngsters of Washington a
good time.
Arrange for Program. i
The event will be formally marked as
street safety day by exercises held
toward the close. These will be brief,
! lasting probably not more thaif half an
! hour. President William V. Peabody,
| assisted by the secretary of the Stre< t
! Safety Association, J. Clinton lilatt, and
the chairman of the committee on the
children's auxiliary. Brlstow Adams, are
arranging for a program which, it Is
hoped, will impress the younger genera
tion. x

one exception, open to the young folks.
This exception will be the dip, which Is
not considered a child amusement.
Kiddies Will Have Good Time.
All possible precautions will be taken to
make everything safe, and no efforts will
be spared to make the children enjoy
themselves.
Members of .the Street Safety Associa
tion will be urged to be present fo
see how rpany boys and girts turn out for
street safety.
Letters asking for contributions to the
tive-hundred-dollar fund with which to
carry on a one-year campaign for the
prevention of street accidents are being
sent out to business firms throughout the
city. The remainder of the money will
have to be raised through contributions
by individual clt sens, who are interested
in seeing the movement grow.
A small sum contributed to the cam
paign will help, so every citizen is urged
to send In a donation no matter how
small. All contributions will be acknowl
edged in The Star. They may be sent to
any of the following named, all of whom
are in charge of the fund raising project:
A. J. Driscoll. 1210 M street northwest;

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS
Candidates Declare Positions
on State-Wide Prohibition.
TRIP PLANNED BY EAGLES
Many Members of the Alexandria
Aerie Will Attend National
Convention at Baltimore.
Special Correspondence of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 26, 1013
Should the enabling act, which aims to
submit to a vote of the people of Vir
ginia the question of state-wide prohi
bition, reach a tie vote in the state sen
ate. I.ieut. Gov. J. Taylor Ellison will
vote dry, Lewis H. Machen of this city,
an aspirant for the office subject to the
primary which will be held August 5 next,
will vote dry, if elected, and Alexander j!
Wedderburn. also an aspirant for the of
fice, of this city and Fairfax count}*, will
vote wet. if elected.
These three candidates have, after
many delays, submitted to the Anti
Saloon League of the state a statement
of their views on this subject. Secretary
McAlister of the Anti-Saloon League
made their statements pub.ic last night
from the Richmond headquarters of the"
league.
In the 1012 session of the general as
sembly a bill knuwn as the enabling act
providing that when a certain propor
tion of ihe voters of the state petition
for an election on the question of state
wide prohibition it shall be held and the 1
result be proclaimed by the governor as
a law. was adopted by the house of detc- i
gates and defeated in the state senate.
Ihe senate is a hold-over body, the
same members coming back this year
sesslo"? with two exceptions,
which does not change the result. Sen
ator Folkes of Richmond resigned, and
Col. John s>. Harwood has been nomi
nated for his seat. Both oppose the
enabling act. Senator D. C. Cummings
has died. He was a dry man. Both the
democratic and republican candidates for
this seat will vote dry. Unless some old
members, therefore, desire to change
their votes in this issue the situation will
remain unchanged.
In view of a close vote much interest
has been expressed in the attitude of the
lieutenant governor.
The views expressed by the candidates '
lur lieutenant governor will have con
siderable weight in the primary for that
office August o.

Volume of Trading Extremely
Light in Contrast With
Yesterday's Activity.
BUYING OF HILL STOCKS
SUSTAINED THE LIST
Union Pacific, Beading, Steel and
Amalgamated Under Pressure.
Few Features.
NEW YORK, July 2d?There were no
changes ef importance in the early deal
ings on the'stock exchange today. Some
of the active issues, Including the Harri
man and the Hill stocks, made small
gains, while Reading, Amalgamated Cop
per and Canadian Pacific declined as
I much. '
The volume of trading was extremely
j light in contrast to yesterday's early ac
tivity.
Prices showed qoipe inclination to im
prove soon after the opening and trading
became a trifle more active for a brief I
time.
/ Only Features.
t
One-point gains in Great Northern pre
ferred, Northern Pacific and Lehigh Val
ley, a similar loss in Louisville and Nash
i ville and a five-point break In American
Bxpr^ss were the only features.
..The market closed firm. Prices were
l maintained with some difficulty when the
| moderate buying of the HK1 stocks abated.
Union Pacific, Reading, Steel and Amal
gamated were depressed slightly under
yesterday's final figures, but made some
recovery toward the close. Chesapeake
and Ohio and Missouri Pacific were rather
heavy.
Trading Largely Professional.
The week in the stock market was char
acterised by a very general advance and
greater activity than at any time since
the extreme dullness of the early summer
period. Trading, however, continued
i largely professional, with occasional signs
! of outside or public interest. As yet the
| investment demand ia a negligible factor,
but opinion prevails that this phase of
the situation Is working toward steady
| improvement.
Undoubtedly the most favorable fea
ture of the situation is the greater ease
of money, not only here, but abroad as
well. Discounts .at all important cen
ters show a rejaxing tendency and the I
present week witnessed pronounced1
improvement 1n the condition of Eu
rope's leading fiscal institutions.
Coppers Change for Better.
The copper market also has under
i gone a change for the better, the metal I
being quoted, as high as 15 cents per
pound, as against 14% cents a few days
| ago. v
An excellent semi-annual statement
by the Republic Steel and Iron Com
I pany threw an interesting sidelight on
I conditions in that industry and gave
rise to favorable estimates respect
ing the second quarterly statement of
the United States Steel Corporation, to
be Issued next Tuesday.
Crop prospects remain somewhat
doubtful as to certain cereals, but the
total' yield promises to be well above1
recent averages. , 1
Railroad earnings are beginning to
I reflect crop movements, although slack
I er business and reduced steel and iron
tonnage serve as partial offsets. 1

Railway Business for May.
During May the railways of the United
States received for their services to the
public an average of $8,23n,Ooo a day; it
cost to run their trains and for other ex
penses'of operation $5.93:(,000 a day: th?-ir
taxes were $341,500 a day; their operating
income $1,972,322 a day for the 22?>,897
miles of line reporting, or at the rat. of
$8.9:; for each ndle of line tor each day.
Thus for every six dollars of th?ir ??tim
ings which remained available for rentals,
interest on bonds, appropriations f>?r bet
terments, improvements and new con
struction, and for divdends, the railways
had to pay more than one dollar in taxes:.
All ot' these amounts are substantial!)
greater than the similar return;- for May,
1912. They include over ?.'? per cent <>f the
mileage and earnings of all of the rail
ways of the country.
