lUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATE
BANKING PLAN M O D IFIE D .
TEAL REPORT ENCOURAGING
Senator Aldrich Seeks to Destroy Reclamation Service Ready to Begin
Control by Wall Street,
Work on Umatilla Tract.
Washington, D. 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 of 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 of 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 d istric ts re
mains unchanged.
In each d istric t
the banks shall form local associa
tions, which in turn will be represent
ed in th e branches and finally in the
central organization through a system
of elections of directors, which it is
said will mak£ it impossible for any
section or set of bankers to control
the whole.
