f I •DOINGS OF THE WEEK Senator Aldrich Seeks to Destroy Control by Wall Street, Washington, I). C. — Ex-Senator Aid- rich, o f Rhode Island, submitted to the national monetary commission, of which he is chairman, a revision of his plan for monetary legislation. The commission may use it as the basis of its recommendations to congress. The basic principles o f the proposed plan are substantially the same as those embodied in Mr. Aldrich’s first proposal, sent to the commission last January, which, he said, he expected would serve as a basis for national discussion. Briefly, the plan still provides for the organization of the National Reserve association, with a capital o f approxi mately $300,000,000, in which the United States government and the banks owning shares in the associa tion shall be the only depositors. The plan of dividing the United States into 15 financial districts re mains unchanged. In each district the banks shall form local associa tions, which in turn will be represent ed in the branches and finally in the central organization through a system o f elections o f directors, which it is said will make it impossible for any section or set of bankers to control the whole.

Quite overlooking yourself and the rest, in exalting your hero. Therefore I spake as I did, by an Ir resistible Impulse. You will forgive me, I hope, for the sake of the friendship between us.
