"Our object In having public hear
lngs," said Representative Ollle
James of Kentucky, one of the house
leaders In the currency reform move
ment, "Is to Insure the fullest consid
eration before recommending for
passage of any bill designed to better
the currency system and Improve the
financial condition of the country,
We have heard a great leal from th
hankers and financial Interests, now
we want to hear from the business
tnd professional men, the farmers,
the laborers and others who ere vl
tally Interested In having a sound and
sufficient currency,"
All of the various measures offered
'is a solution of the currency question
will come under a fire of criticism and
it Is likely that before the publl
hearings have been completed the
-nembers of the house committee will
be even less sure of the right road

'hoy now are. Many panaceas will be
4Uggested In addition to those al
eady before the commtltee.
A measure which has received much
'avorable mention among business
men, but which is opposed by the
banking Interests, Is that contained In

Pomes of New York, providing for
