THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, WEDNESDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 24, 1913. INI CURR NCY BIL E .THE, PRESIDENT PREDICTS MORE WORK Is but the First of a Series of '.'Constructive Measures, as Planned by, Democrats, fSMetal to The Journal.! ; Washington, Deo. 24. with the slgn - Ing of the Glass-Owen-currency bill last fht by President Wilson, making It a law, the Democrat consider they have presented the nation with an unprece 1 dented ChrlBtmag present In the form of speedy constructive legislation. , In nine months' time, pointed out democratic leaders, their party, under the guidance 0 President Wilson had passed the tariff and the currency re form laws. v. .',, , 'V ., . , ,; The iklgnlng of the bill last night' was at 6:01 o'clock and was viewed by mem- vm. vim prcBiaent s caoinet, tne con gressional , committee on banking and i currency and Democratic leaders n con gress, in sinning the bill the president made an extemporaneous speech '- "X need not tell you," said the presi dent, 'that I feel a very deep gratifica tion at being able to sign this bill, and I feeLthat 1 ought to express very heart t ily the admiration J have for the men who have; made it possible for me to v .. .wign. mis BJIi. ' 'Xt (8 a matter Of real ffraflflratlnn to me that In the case of this bill there nouid have been so considerable a num ber of Republican votes Cast for it. All great measures under our system of government are or necessity party measures, for the party of the majority - ! responsible for their-origination and their passage, but this cannot be called .-..partisan measure. It has been re lieved of all Intimation of that sort by the cordial co-operation of men on the other side of the two houses who have acted with us and have given very sub stantial reasons' and very intelligent reasons for acting with us. So that I think we can go home with the feeling that we are In better spirits for public Service than we were even when we convened in April. Bill Is First of Series. "As for the bill Itself, I feel that we can say It is the first of a series of , constructive measures by which the democratic party will show that it knows how to serve the country. In calling It the first of a series' of con structive measures, 1 need not say that I am not cajtlng any reflection on the great tariff bill which preceded it. The tariff bill was meant to remove those Impediments to American industry and prosperity which had so long stood In their way. It was a great niece of Dren- i ration for the achievement of an Amer ican commerce and American industry which are certain to follow. It Speaks for Democrats. Then there came upon the heels of It this bill, which furnishes the machinery for free and elastic and uncontrolled credits, put at the disposal of the mer chants and manufacturers of this coun try for the first time in 60 years. I was refreshing my memory on the passage of the national bank act which came In two pieces. In February of 1863, and in June of 18S4; It Is Just 60 years ago - aince -thai mencure, suitable for that time, was passed, and it has taken us more than a generation and a half to come to an understanding as to the re adjustments which were necessary for our pwn time. But we have reached those readjustments. I myself have al ways felt when the Democratic party was criticised as not knowing how to serve the business interests of the coun try that there was no use of replying to that in -words. The only satisfactory reply was 'in action. We have written the first chapter of that reply. Beadjuatments Are Necessary. "We are greatly favored by the cir cumstances of our time. " We come at the end of a day of contest, at the end of a day when we have been scrutinis ing the processes of our business, scru tinising them with critical and some times with hostile eye. Ve have slowly been coming to this time which has now happily arrived, when there is a com mon recognition of the things that are undesirable should be done In buslnes. ' What we are proceeding to do now is to organize our pace, to make our pros perity not only stable, but free to have an Impeded momentum. It 1s obvious that It ought not need to be stated that nothing can be good for the country which Is not good for all of the country. Nothing can be for the interest of the country which Is not In the Interest of everybody; therefore the 'day of accoru modation and of concession and of com tnon understanding is the day of peace and achievement of necessity. W.e have come to the beginning of that day. Men re no longer resisting the conclusions wbloh the nation has arrived at as to .the necessity of readjustments of its business. Buslness.men of all sorts are showing their wlllfligneHS to come into this arrangement which I venture to characterize as the constitution of peace. Bo that by common counsel and by the accumulating force of co-operation we are going to seek more and more to serve the country. Is in People's Interest. " "I have been surprised at the accept ance of this measure by public opinion everywhere. I say surprised because It comes as if It had suddenly become ob vious to men who had looked at It with too critical an eye that It was really meant in their Interest. They have opened their eyes to Bee a thing which they had supposed to be hostile to be friendly and serviceable exactly what we Intended it to be and what we shall Intend all our legislation to be. The men who fought for this measure have fought nobody. They have simply fought for those accommodations which are going to secure us In prosperity and I In peace. .
