CURRENCY REFORM
NEXT TO TOTARIFF.
HOLD MONTHLY MEETING
While there was unanimity on
tariff revision, widely divergent
views are held by Democratic
senators on hanking reform. A
strong desire for a single bank
with branches, under govern
ment control, instead of a regional
reserve system of banks, has
made its appearance in formal
discussion. Other charges of a
far reaching character are being
suggested and it is regarded gen
erally as doubtful if a bill satis
factory to the Senate Banking
Committee can reach the floor of
the Senate before the middle of
November.
At the White House there is a
confidence that the' bill will be
passed this session, or be placed
on the statute books before the
first of the year. The President
wanta-thorough consideration of
the currency bill and any improve
ment that the Senate can make
upon the measure as passed by
the House will be welcome. His
disposition however is to strong
ly oppose any undue delay.
President Wilson believes a gen
eral decrease in the cost of living,
that will be felt by the rank and
file of the country, is not along
dependent on tariff revision but
upon prompt reform of the na
tion’s monetary of the antitrust
laws.
The President’s views of the
effect of the tariff is in accordance
with expressions from Represen
tative Underwood and other dem-
ocroatic leadeis that while redue
tions in some cases will be im
mediate, the general benefits will
not at once be apparent. Even
though the tariff laws might
bring many imports into this
country at low rates or free of
duty, the evils 1 of price fixing,
underselling and other discrim
inations in restraint of tiade
might, in the President’s opinion
defeat the fruits of tariff reform
Another essential to free com
petition, in the President’s view
is freedom of credit. With the
concentration of credit in what
the President described as an
“inner circle” even the benefits
of the trust regulation and tariff
reduction can be withheld from
the consumer by the stifling of
enterprise. i
None of the administration
leaders entertain the idea that
the tariff will have any adverse
effect. On the o„ther hand they
have pointed out that an elastic
financial system is now necessary
more than ever.
As soon as the December ses
sion opens, the adminstration will
begin to center its attention on
the anti-trust programme. There
is no intention' at the White
House to draft the administration
measure. What is expected to
happen is. that the members of
the House Judiciary committee
and the Senate Committee on
Interstate Commerce will confer
early with President Wilson and
discuss the subject informally.
The President hopes that before
the anti trust bill is launched
there will be a common agree
ment on it in the committees.

About the biggest undertak
ing 3ince the building of the big
bridge over the river near Pine
Park, is now about to be under
taken by the Commissioners,
that of building a steel bridge
across the Ochlocknee at the
Walden bridge.
The plans for this bridge are
all perfected and the Board is at
this time asking fcr bids. The
plans show the latest perfection
in steel bridge construction, and
that the Eoard has studied well
ever detail and angle of the mat
ter. This bridge will cost in the
neighborhood of $3,500. The
county bridge gang will build the
approaches, and only the steel
construction work will be con
tracted.
The road work is progressing
as fast as possible, but there are
still a lot of kickers to make it

A. B : g Difference.
On September the 25th last
year Gtady county had ginned
1634 bales of cotton. On Septem
ber the 25th, 1913, there had
been ginned in Grady county
2,760 bales. This report shows
a difference of 1,226 bales in
favor of this year.
Now, this doesn’t mean that
Grady county is making more
cotton; it only means that the
crop is being ginned faster than
last year. The real fact is that
the crop is just about out, not
only in Grady couty, but through
out southern and southwest
Georgia.
