Mr. ' Fowler, chairman of the committee on bank ing and currency, after waiting, nearly the whole ssrion for :in opportunity to consider his currency bill, was Anal ly successful today, and the res?lon of the House was devotad to debate on the proposition. The commit teo bill was advocated by . its author and Messrs. Covering of Massachusetts and Prince of Illinois (Republicans) and was op posed by Messrs. Thayer of Massachu setts and Lewis of Georgia (Demo crats) all members of the banking and currency committee. At the opening of the pension Mr, Fowler of New Jereey moved that the House go Into committee of the who e to consider the currency bill, and pend ing that motion he asked that he con trol the time for the bill, and Mr. Thayer of Massachusetts against !t. To this Mr. Bart'ett of Georgia objected spying there was a difference of opin ion on the Democratic side concernln? this oue?tion. When the motion v. a? put Mr Bartlett made the point of no quorurn. and the speaker, having count- tne iTOUe an3 finding only 160 mem. V. nxnnt rtl rorAff a 0;lll Th mt- I'l 1 O tC,l,V v... ' tion was carried 137 to 95. Accordingly the House went In'o committee, and Mr. Fowler, chairman of the committee on banking and cur rency, took the floor In support of hi bill. He said that all the secretaries of the treasury and practically all con- trollers of the currency for the past ) twenty years and al! the ' s'.uients of this subject favored a credit currency, Ihe principle upon which the pending bill was founded. He dwelt1 at length on the absolute necessity of furnishing an elestic currency which could be ex panded during the crop moving periods. Under the operation of his bill,. Mr. Fowler said, there would be a maxi mum Increase of bank notes of VA0, OOO.PCO. Mr. Thayer of Massachusetts follow ed, advocating the views presented by the minority of the committee on bank ing and currency. He realized that something should be done to add to the volume of currency, but could 'not ap prove the Fowler bill. While fl provided safely for the proposed issue it lacked the necessary elasticity. .. While Mr. Thayer waettlnff forth ,- alumni 'Mr. Walter.Page of New.
