.v j aavffTi .--' The Commoner VOL. 13, NO. 29 20 !' r' :xV v fr ' HV Secretary McAdoo's Apportionment of Crop-Movement Funds Tho following la an Associated Prose dispatch from Washington, under date of August 20: Secretary McAdoo announced tho apportion ment as far as it had boon completed for the $50,00C,000 to be deposited by tho government in national banks of tho west and south to facilitate tho movement and marketing of crops. The total amount allotted to dato is $4 0,500,000, of which $24, 700,000 goes to banks in the four teen western states, and $21,800,000 to tho thirteen southern states and tho District of Columbia. Tho southern banks have asked that their share of tho funds be deposited in August and September, and those in the west want the money appor tioned to them during September, October and November. The money will be allowed to remain on de posit for an average of four or live months. All of it is to be returned not lator than next April, and tho south ern bankers, who got their money first, in December will begin to turn It back into the treasury in mqnthly installments. Tho Secretary's Announcement In a statement announcing the apportionment Secretary McAdoo said: "Tho funds are deposited in the banks in tho west and south at this time because it is bolieved that there is a special demand for the money to assist in marketing the crops which are now being harvested in these particular sections, but if in tho east and elsewhere it should be 'shown that there is need for tho temporary use of funds for similar .legitimate purposes, tho government will be quite as ready to extend similar aid." Many factors wore taken into con sideration in arriving at tho appor tionment of deposits in the west . and south. .' "Among these," the secretary said, "were the immediate needs of tho Jlocalities as reported by the com- ,..niittees of the clearing houses in the conferenco held with, them in Wash ington, the capital of the different national banks and the character of business transacted by them: tho amount of money which these banks 'are at the present time advancing to their country bank correspondents and tho additional accommodations which they oxpect to extend to these correspondents, their present con dition, as shown by the last comp troller's call, their outstanding cir culation and the amount of redis count they may havo made in their efforts to meet these legitimate de mands upon them of customers and correspondents." A Treasury Representative In each depositary city tho gov- - eminent has chosen a special repre sentative who will servo in conjunc tion with a clearing house committee of five to pass on all commercial paper recommended as security for Denver, Los An- deposition, and all paper before ac cepted must be unanimously recom mended by this committee.

N7S tiaaranUtd SS Yean The following Ib taken from the Chicago Record-Herald of August 26th: "Theodore Roosevelt told 200 Chicago progressives yesterday that he will sanction no amalgamation with the republicans which involves a compromise. "The former president stonned in Chicago on his return from the southwest long enough to speak at a luncheon at the Chicago Progres sive Club. " 'I see there has been a good deal of talk about getting together,' said Colonel Roosevelt. 'This is the first opportunity I have had to answer these reports. Other people can get together with us by adopting all of our prin ciples; not part of them, but all. The progressive party not only stands for a principle, but for a reality, and above everything else, abhors hypocrisy. When we said the people should rule, we meant it. The people- must have tho right to enact social justice legislation if they want it, no' matter what the executive, judiciary or legislatures say.' Talks on Suffrage "Before making his address Colonel Roosevelt had tnlirori hv, Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout and other suffrage leaders. In his speech the colonel touched on suffrage. " 'I do not believe that ever before in the history of the country has a big party accomplished what the pro gressive party already has accomp lished,' he said. "There would be no woman suffrage in Illinois if it were not for tho action of the nro gressivo party last year. " 'It has been demonstrated that a woman can bo n mon.o voter. There are tomfool men who let politics interfere with their busi ness affairs, and there will be femi nine tomfools who will let politics interfere with their work in tho home. The average woman will not permit the franchise to destroy their womanliness.' Talks About Recall "Colonel Roosevelt discussed the recall of judges. " 'Some people have said I havo attacked the judges,' he continued. 'It is an absolute falsehood. I never in my life used as severe language criticising the judiciary as Abraham Lincoln in his reference to the Dred Scott decision. I have great rover ence for the judges, but I do not be lieve in their divine right any more than in tho divine right of a legis lator or king. " 'I think the people have tho right to exercise the power given to au executive If he does not exercise that power the way we think best. I believe the people have the right to recall them and also to get laws by the initiative and referendum if thoy have to. " 'We intend to do injustice to no man. On the contrary, sooner or later, the business men who showed such anxiety about us last year will realize we aro the only party that has a rational business policy. 0 believe in the policy of supervision and control that will make the busi ness man earn his profit by serving, not by swindling. We do not be lieve in the policy of strangling or pretended strangling of business. The principles of the Progressive platform are not new. The app na tion is. Our platform represents a reality; nothing more than the iae termination to apply in S00?.fa' " the principles of Abraham Lincoiu to the present day.' " -ft . '"' n 1 iMAf :im2tmi
