There are many conditions which
make this long drive and shipment un

of flesh on the 100-mile drive, the dam
aging of meat caused by the goad stick

resulting from the close confinement,
the cramped position in the crowded

Aoki, the retiring ambassador of Japan
at Washington, In which he is quoted
from Ban Francisco as saying Japan

any attempt on the part of the United
States to exclude tne Japanese, and
take this as a text for long articles.
Viscount Aoki’s denial of this inter
view has not yet been published here.
Lacking this denial, the Journal Dea-
bata thinks that in bis interview Count
Aoki has placed hia fingers on the real
danger spot.

“ Japan claims to

Washington, Jan. 9.— The s ib-oom
mittee of the house committee on bank
ing and currency, to which was entrust
ed the framing of a bill to increase the
elasticity of the currency, readied a
conclusion yesterday and will report
favotably to the lull committee a b ill
drawn iu the mjtin by Chairman Fow
ler, of the committtee. The bill will
be introduced by Fowler and referred
to his committee, where it w ill form
the working basis for the framing of a
bill of possibly the same scope and
tenor.
The bill provides for the complete
retirement of all outstanding national
bank bond secured currency and aut hoi-
|zes in lieu thereoi a currency baaed
upon general assets of the banks, to be
worked out in this way:
The controller of the currency will
designate throughout the country cer
tain redemption cities, so that theie
shall be a redemption city within at
least 24 hours’ reach of every national
bank. The national banka w ill indi
cate to the controller of the currency to
wiiat redemption city they wish to be-
joined. The controller will then select
a time and place within each redemp
tion district for the organizing of that
district in the following manner:
Each national bank in that district,
regardless of its capital stock, will he
entitled to one vote. Representative«
of the banks will meet at a time and
place designated and elect a board of
managers to consist of seven members.
The seven will elect a chairman, who
will become a deputy controller of cur
rency and assume control of his re
demption district, except that he shall
not have charge of tbe enforcement of
the criminal statutes.
Each national bank is authorized to
present to the secretary of the treasury
national bank notes and lawful money
in lieu of other national bank bond se
cured outstanding notes. Then, if the
bank’s application therefor is indorsed
by the board of managers of ttre re
demption district to which it belongs,
the bank will receive guaranteed credit
notes to the amount of its capital stock.
These notes will be subject to a tax of
2 per cent per annum. Each bank w ill
be required to deposit as a guarantee
fund with the treasurer of the United
Slates 5 per cent of its average deposits
for the preceding 12 months and 5 per
cent of the credit notes which It takee
out. Tire revenue thus obtained is to
create and support a national guaran
tee fund of $500,000,000 for the guar
antee of both the deposits and the out
standing banknotes of every national
bank. Eighty per cent of this fund is
to be invested in United States bonds
drawing 2 per cent interest, while Ihe
remaining 20 per cent is to be deposit
ed in banks of the various redemption
cities for the purpose of redeeming the
guaranteed credit notes of the lianks of
the various redemption districts.
When the national guarantee fnnd
reaches $25,000,000, which would be
almost simultaneous with Ihe birth of
the new law, the government is re
quired to return to the hanks the Unit
ed States bonds now held as security
for Federal deposits, the object being
to enable the banks to get control of
the bonds, so that the government can
invest the 80 per cent of the guaranteed
fnnd in 2 per cent bonds and regain
control. In buying these bonds the
banks holding them shall be paid their
original purchase price, providing their
exact purchase price can be proven.

the bill, to have the new credit notes
