WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. Declar ing that he was in favor of a bond secured money currency with an inter est charge highe uoiigh to compel au tomatic contraction of such issue, Sen ator Robert L. Owvn of Oklahoma proceeded to criticize many features of the Aldrich currency bill in the senate today. Mr. Owen desired a more complete remedy than that proposed iu the com mit tee s bill. He did not believe confining the benefits of tlu issuance of emergency currency to national banks. The provisions for using rail road bonds for the basis of these emer gency nritos he condemned strongly, but paid he would feel compelled to vote for the measure except its rail road bond feature, if his proposed amendment should not bo adopted. The only principle of tho committee bill which he regarded as of value was that relating to emergency notes, secured by bonds under a penalty higher than the normal rate of interest. Referring to his proposed substitute for the Aldrich bill, Mr. Owen said it proposed Cnited States notes for emer gency use instead of bunk notes, and provides for their "instant issue." It allows nil tiulinunl, state or savingf banks and. trust companies put Line ur the necessary securities usijig them. It provides that notes may be used ni security, but strikes out railroad bonds It does not limit the quantity of etner gency antes that may be used. It rc quires a tax of (t per cent on the emer gency currency during the first foui mouths ami 8 per cent thereafter. It also prevents active officers of bankr from borrowing their fuuds except un ler safeguard. I he use of deposits foi speculative buying or stocks, hoiuls, etc is prohibited. I lank reserves ago i lis' federal deposits are required, and othe1 changes are made in conditions govern iug reserves. 'IN GOD WE TRUST" GOES BACK ON COINJ WASHINGTON', Feb. 'Jo.
