The house committee on banking and
currency, which, will have the shaping
of a considerable portion of the i finan
cial legislation before the house, held
its first meeting this morning and out
lined its general plan of action. In view
of Secretary Gage's recommendation
and banking affairs,, a resolution was
of a comprehensive revision of currency
adopted inviting the secretary , to em
body his views in a bill. The committee
was informed that the secretary was
now at work on a measure, and that
it would be available for the commit
tee In about a week.
Mr. Hill, of Connecticut, then precip
itated a sharp debate by moving that
the committee act at once by reporting
to the house a bill embodying thee cf
the financial features which had the
president's approval. These wefe em
bodied in a bill, heretofore offered by
Mr. Brosius, of Pennsylvania, and Mr.
Hill now proposed that the first three
sections be placed before the .house im
mediately. The three sections provided :
Bank circulation up to the par value
of bonds deposited; reduction pf the
tax on circulation to onerfourth of -one
per cent.; the establishment f small
banks in rural communities. Mr. Hill
said the committee would not go
through the tedious process of consider
ing and dividing these three proposi
tions which appeared to meet with gen
era lacceptance, and had received exec
utive approval.
Mr. Johnson, of Indiana, earnestly op
posed such hasty action. . He said thee
should be time to hear from the gen
tlemen forming the monetary commis
sion, and to weigh all propositions.
Precipitate action on such a vital sub

it before the house and the country.
Mr. Mitchell, of New York, also op
posed such speedy action.
The debate was proceeding with ani
