Most encouraging is the action of the House committee on Banking and Currency of which our Mr. Hill is so active 11. member, in referring all the bills before it to the Comptroller of the Currency for analysis and report and calling on him to submit such a mea- sure as he would recommend to meet the perplexing problems of the curren- cy. Under any other system of legis— lation than our own, no measure of this kind would be contemplated except on the suggestxon of the responsible exec- .utive oflicers whose knowledge and experience may be , supposed to give them authority. This was formerly the rule with us, but it has been the pecu- liar characteristic cf the financial legis- lation of the United States for the past twenty years that most of it has been in direct antagonism to expert opinion and to responsible recommendation. The reference of all currency bills to the Comptroller at this time is particu- larly valuable for the reason that Mr. Eckels not only has shown his intimate knowledge of the subject and his one- inland practical official judgment, but has in a remarkable degree commanded the confidence and respect of men of all parties and opinions. The country at large would be entirely satisfied with . any measure urged by him, and Con- gress could take no safer guide in this diflicult and delicate field at legisla- tion, where expert knowledge beyond that‘be to expected of most Congress- men, is absolutely essential. We know in ageneral way from "his recent report, and its endorsement in the President’s mess ,, ' h . hand.

'lhis, with a modification of some existing restrictions on circulaa tion, would carry .the advantages of the banking system. into the remote country, increasing the credit facilities of rural communities and making their local capital avai‘able for daily use. Such a system would by giving to the country the advantages enjoyed 'in towns, go far to meet the unintelligent demand for cheap money. Any im- provement oi the banking s5 stem pre- supposes, of course, the maintenance of a stable standard of value and the sep- aration of the United Ssates Treasury from its present disturbing connection with the currency. neavy Rain!
