Cheaper freight rates and cheaper insurance rates that is, the same rates that other States enjoy. Let the fight against both of these evils continue until we get our rights. Mr. Joseph F. Tayloe, of Wash ington, succeeds A. D. Watts as clerk to the Senate Finance Com mittee. This appointment was made by Senator Simmons. Watts is now collector for the Western District.

In speaking of the progress being made in the consideration of the new currency bill The Commoner says: "The house committee is proceed ing very wisely in the consideration of the currency bill. The democrat ic members are meeting daily to study the bill and compare views. The better they understand the bill theanore unanxious will be their support of it."
