Washington, t). C When the sen ate banking and currency committee ended Its first week of deliberations It appeared certain that the bill to be reported to the senate would contain certain provisions for a four regional reserve, government controlled bank system, the $100,000,000 stock of which will be offered to the public. With progress on the fundamentals of the senate measure Just begun, only the framework of the Oiass-Owen measure has been retained. The most radical change in the administration measure has been the complete re moval of the regional reserve banks from bank control. Briefly, the fol lowing were the provisions of the measure, which It was believed would govern Its flnnl drafting. Four regional reserve banks with a total capitalization of $100,000,000. di vided according to the financial loca tion of the center from which the banks will operate. Absolute control of the bank by the government mid regional reserve boards, to be appointed by the presi dent. The regional reserve bunk stock to bear either 5 or 6 per cent interest and to lie sold to tho public by sub scription, the balance. If any. to be taken up by the member bunks. This stock will have no voting power, and will not share In the surplus. That will accrue to the government. Cooperation With States Proposed. If congress, at the regular session, will authorise an additional loan of fl00.0on.000 to the reclamation fund. In accordance with the recommenda tion to be submitted by Secretary Lane, the Interior department will tin dertake, In co-operation with the sev eral states, to redeem those Carey act projects which have proven fallun s, and which threaten, without some such aid, to entail heavy loss on set tiers who have undertaken to estnb llsh homes under their canals. The plan of the Interior department Is to have the federal government Join with the states In completing Carey act projects which have fallen Into disrepute through failure of contract ors or from other cause. . -- Member Lose Mileage. Senators and representatives will be obliged to forego the mllenge hill at the coming regular session of con gress, much as they may dislike to do so. The fact that the special session Is to run Into the regular session with out substantial break uiHkes It iin practicable for congress to pass the mileage appropriations this winter, and If any attempt Is made to put such a bill through it will be killed by pub lie oplnlou. Senators and members have re cei til mileage for the special session Mail efficiency Is Aim. Postmaster (ienerul Iturlesnn has decided to staudurdUe the entire post al service, so far as possible, with a view to greater efficiency. To this end the department will operate eev eral modal offices, "dynamos from which to charge the entire system of offlcea throughout the country V These offices will be used to discover the best practical way of administer Ing the postal facilities aud to test out devices and methods that may prove of value.
