’ DINGLEY ON THE CURRENCY.
Would Have Three Separate Bills
Reported—Favor. More Banks.
Washington, Dec. 16. — Chairman
' Dingley, of the Ways and Means Com-
mittee, in an interview with a cor-
respondent last night, set at rest all
speculation about the course of that
committee respecting financial legislaw
tion in this Congress. He also talked
in a prophetic vein of probable action
by Congress on currency questions.
“The only portion of Secretary Gage’S
financial recommendations which might
come before the Ways and Means Com-
mittee,” said Chairman Dingley.
“would be a plan for funding the Dilb‘
lic debt. My opinion is that there is
but slight probability of the committee
1"ep01 ting such a bill. What would be
the use, in the face of present condi—
tions in the Senate?
“It is true that the Government could
save $12,000,000 a. year in interest
charges by funding the debt by the is—
suance of 21,4; per cent. gold bonds, yet
that consideration weighs but slightly
with some people, when it comes to the
use of the word ‘gold’ in the bonds.
They would prefer paying the $12,000,000
interest to making the bonds payable
in gold. I do not look for any such
legislation in this Congress.
"Other portions of Secretary Gage’s
recommendations will be referred to
the Banking and Currency Committee,
and I understand he is to appear before
that committee to-morrow to explain
them. He may embody his ideas in one
bill. My advice has been that three
separate bills should be reported from
the commit-tee. If they are reported
they will receive consideration in the
House, and will probably pass. These
three bills would provide, respectively,
for the establishment of national banks
in small cities, the extension of the cir-
culation of national banks and the re-
duction of the tax upon them.
“It is probable the two bills men-
tioned first might pass the Senate. It
is doubtful about 1hr latter. At any
rate, the action of the Senate would
be a test of the feeling of that body to-
wards currency legislatid‘n and might
encourage further efforts in that direc-
tion.”
Chairman Dingley’s interview bears
out the fact, previously announced, that
the W'ays and Means Committee will
not interfere with the national bank
legislation pertaining to the Committee
on Banking and Currency, 'but that
when it comes to questions pertaining
to the funding of the public debt and
similar issues, the Ways and Means
Committee will take jurisdiction.
Chairman Walker, of the Committee
on Banking and Currency, gave out the
following as the programme for his
committee:
“The bill of the Secretary of the
T1 easuly shall be before the committee,
and the Scc1etary be given a hearing
thereon; the bill to be prepared by the
Monetary Commission in the same man-
ner and under the same conditions, and
that r‘epiesem ativ es of the commission
be gii en a hcazing. The third bill to be
considered wili be that presented by the
chairman of this committee, and that
first
manner as the two bills men-
tioned.”
