voters are taking their duties of eltl
s.nshlp very seriously. They are not
overlooking even ths proposed reor
anlzatlon of the country's financial
ystm under the Aldrlch, plan.
Whm the ubromraltce of the Na
flonul Monetary CommlMtnn, heeded
by Vlre-C hatrman Vreeland of the Com'
mlulnn. twgan today Ha attllnga In thla
city, two of the state's suffrage lead
era. Mrs. Mary Panui, president, and
Mies Helen More, organiser of the State
Kquel Suffrage LriKur. attended a por
lina of the session. Mrs. t'amage aald
that wh:e he admitted small knowl
elee of the subject. It seemed to her
eif evl.leat that financial reform waa
nec!ed.
We came to l.a rn about this flnan
rlal question." said Mrs. larnge. "It
It one with which every tr should
become acquainted."
The committee questioned seven rep
resentative business men of thla city
ae to their citica on the Aldrlch plan
for the regulation of banking- and cur
rency In the United States. Frank B.
Andorson. president of the Bank of
California, was the only out of ths
seven to onVr criticism.
He aa'd that the panic of 1901 showed
the weakness of the present monetary
evstem and the need of a radical
chance along the llna planned by ex
Kenator Aldrlch. but he objected to the
recent proposal to give state banks
and trust companies equal beneflta with
the National banks In regard to the use
of the reserve fund.
This, he said, waa nnfalr to the Na
tional banks, whose business waa sub
ject to legal restrictions that drd not
apply to the other Institutions.
The committeemen were guests of the
Chamber of Commerce tonight at a
banquet at the close of which Mr.
Vreeland went Into an elaborate ex
planation of the Aldrlch bill and the
work of the monetary commission.
