REFORM
REFORMING
BUSINESS men of the nation arc organi.int? under tlio
name of tho National Citizens' league for the pro
motion of a nonpartisan revision of the eount.ry's mone
t. ry system. The.v propose a co-operative hanking asso
ciation safeguarded against both politics and Wall Street.
John V. Farwoll, the veteran Chicago merchant, is at
the head of the movement and a campaign of education is
to be conducted that will roach every bank depositor in
tlio country.
Tho last returns from the irovornment show that tho
banks owe their ,10,000,000 depositors tho ononfious sum
of $10,500,000,000, which is nearly five times as much
money as there is actual money in the whole country.
Tho United States alone among nations is troubled by
periodical panics, and tho present currency and banking
systems are blamed. Every few years the currency sys
tem develops a condition of things where the business man
"goes up against it" as far as banking accommodations is
concerned, ltis loans are called and he finds he can't re
place them except upon exorbitant terms. The banks re
fuse to discount his paper. Through no fault of his own
ho suddenly finds the banking support on which he has
come to rely knocked out from under him.
Tho cause of these recurring troubles is tho unfitness
of the .present system. All are agreed there should be a
change, but differ as to the remedy. It is an absurd con
dition that every time trouble threatens, the bankers, in
stead of coming to the relief of the community, are forced
to a position whore they must look out for themselves, and
thereby increase the trouble.
The bank is forced to refuse to make loans, because
afraid to tie up money in commercial paper with which it
cannot do anything. Often the monev that should help
the community is used to strengthen n reserve too Inrirelv
used in Wall Street.
Ilie Citizens' league advocates cooperation among tho
banks instead of the present individual svstem, through
an association of all flu lunik mwi ., i;c.'r,i,t ..,..i.(.,:
winch banks can turn good commercial paper into casl
J Ins latter can bo accomplished by letting this associatio
i 7 Dal,Ks (l,si,unt the bills of its individual mem
bers. The third need is a currencv that will expand in
volume when there is a demand for it and which will con
tract when the need passes, this to be accomplished by
gradually calling in the present individual bank notes and
replacing them with currency issued hv the banks association.

. SAYS BRANDEIS
Financial Expert Appears Before
Senate Committee and Discusses
Trust Evil Speaks a Good Word
for Labor Unions and Their Work.
WASHINGTON. D. C, Dec. 11.
"Kegnlntion of business is csscuti.
to preserve competition."
This is tho gist today of an nrii
ment before the senate committee on
commerce by Louis D. Brandeis nf
Boston, the financial expert whose
recent statement thnt by economic
he could save the railroads of the
country $1,000,000 created a sensa
tion. ''There nre no nnturnl monopolies
in industry," said Brandies, "tho oil
trust got control of thnt business by
ruthless violation of the law, by
criminal rebating, by bribory and cor
ruption. Tho steel tnibt acquired
control, not through efficiency, but
but bv buying plants nud ore supplier
at fabulous prices.
"At a time when the American
people nre stunned by tho crimes -f
high union officials, it is fitting In
recall the debt which man owes to
the unions. He owes the rise in sal
ary, shorter hours, better conditions
of employment mid tho protection of
women and children. Industrial ab
solution is indosirnble and should be
impossible.
"In just indignation at the crimos
committed in Los Angeles, should not
statesmen seek for tho onuses of the
violence? Is not there a casual con
nection between thuho trusts and the
horrible crimes now under investiga
tion? Is not it irony to discus
equality and opportunity in u coun
try citrecri with tho bigness of the
trusts?"
