TAFT AND ALDR1CH
TALKABOUT
MONEY
President- Inquires 'Whether
Commission Will Have Re
port Next Winter.
ALDRICH WANTS MORE TIME
Talk of Extra Session on Reform In
Money System in Fall of 1910
and lela of Postal Bank Bill
Vntil That Time.
BEVERLY,. Mass., Aus. 25. President
Taft had two and a half hours talk this
afternoon with Senator Aldrlch. chair
man of the Monetary Commission, and
with Secretary MacVcash. Mr. Aldrlch
is about to take up adjustment of the
country's monetary system and It was In
this connection that he was called in
conference by the President.
Mr. Taft was anxious to ascertain
whether or not the Monetary Commission
would he ready to report this Winter.
It is ur.riVrftood that no definite answer
was (riven, but the chances are that the
Commission will not be able to place Its
conclusion before Congress for several
months. There has been talk of calling
Congress In extra session In the Fall of
1910, to begin consideration of such legls
lation as the Commission may recom
mend. Mr. Aldrlch will sail for Europe
Paturdfty to study the monetary systems
of the leading European countries.
Let Postal Banks Wait.
Mr. Aldrlch would not discuss the rub
Ject of postal savings banks. It is not
believed that he Is altogether opposed to
the idea, but he frankly has told the
President at a former conference that he
, thought the question should await the en
actment of the monetary legislation.
The Monetary Commission is con
fronted by the problem of retirlnsr
Government 2 per cent bonds or of
maintaining- their value. The latter
is believed to be difficult, if there is to
be a large Issue of 3 per cent bonds
for the replenishment of the general
fund of the treasury for advances on
account of the canal purchases
Hold Back Other Schemes.
If the revision of the monetary sys
tem Is to be placed before Congress
this JVtnter, the President may decide
to withhold until next Winter various
recommendations for other branches of
legislation, on the theory that, if too
much work is placed on Congress at
one time, nothing definite will be ac
complished. Mr. Taft will not get through with
the travel projrramme he has outlined
until within two weeks of the assem
bling of Congress. In the meantime he
is leaving behind definite instructions
as to the disposal of various matters
of Government interest and has set a
number of his subordinates to work on
inquiries and consideration of special
topics which are to be taken up and
discussed by him In his annual message
to Congress.
Silent Abont Bal linger.
The President positively refused to
discuss In anv way the Balllnger
Plnchot controversy.
Mr. Tnft today invited John Hays
Hammond to accompany him on his
Western trip. Mr. Hammond will Join
the Presidential party at Salt Lake
City.
stated that the Ashland and Monmouth
schools had squared up their accounts
with the state but that the third. Weston,
had not yet done so, and that consid
erable money is still due the state from
the president of the Weston school.
"President Ressler of Monmouth and
President Schaefer of Ashland have set-,
tied up the affairs of their respective
schools, but President Robert C. French,
of the Weston school, has not yet settled
with the state." said Mr. Ackerman.
"There la about t&0 still due the state
which the committee expects Mr. French
to pay. This amount was part of the
proceeds from a special fund and the
executive committee was not aware it
was being withheld until the end of the
school year. Mr. French admitted the
Indebtedness and promised to pay the
sum into the state treasury not later than
August 1, but I am advised the money
has not yet been received, ine commit
tee does not wish to be harsh with Mr.
French, but the Interests of the state
must be protected and if the money is
not paid into the state- treasury soon it
will be necessary to take some steps to
bring the affairs of the Weston normal
to a settlement."
