ALDRICH BILL PERFECTED Subcommittee Has Text of Measure Ready for Discutsion. BOND PROVISION IS CHANGED Manlrlpal Securities Mar Re ArcepteJ ia Baat-a for otea--Democratic senators Hold All-Day Coaifereau-e. WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. When th "n- a committee on ' finance meets next Monday, Chairman Aldrich will be pre pared to exhibit the perfected text of his cursency bill, yunng tne recess oi inu commlttro Mr. 'Aldrich has been engaged with Senators Hale snd Allison and other prominent republican members of the com mittee in putting the finishing touches upon the measure, and they held their final meeting today. The new bill will In no Vise be a cejuerture from the prln- ,, r,,,,,,.l- ,k. Htn.l mraaure made "- in the committee and secondarily to S'ig- gestlons from outsiders. Among the more Important of tha changes will be one accepting Senator Bailey's proposition for the distribution of the proposed surplus bank Issue among tha various stales In nroportwn to their t,onVtn- enntrnl and Biimlus. This feature has been strenuously contended for by the Texas senator and the republicans have decided to concede it not only because they consider it equitable, but also be cause they think It will assist materially In bringing democratic support, to the measure when it reaches the senate. Sen ator Bailey haa been engaged in prepar ing a substitute bill In which this feature ia given a prominent place and it Is not yet determined whether he will desist when the action of the majority membership becomes known. It Is probable, however. that he will go forward with hia own bill for the present and until the retention of the proposition Is assured. Bond Security Section Amended. Other changes, which it Is hoped, will have a mollifying effect upon opponents, both In the democratic party In the senate and among western republicans, Is ono in creasing the amount of extra circulation allowed by the bill from $260,000,000 provided by the first draft of the bill to t&aj.oou.ooo and another making radical changes In the provisions In regard to municipal bonds which the bill provides shall be accepted security for the surplus issue. As the bill stands it requires that cities whose bonds may be accepted shall be fifteen years old, have not fewer than 20.000 In population and shall not for ten VAUra noire defaulted nn anv iKinded In- debtedn.s,. ln the nw print all these re- strictions and definitions will be eliminated and the authorities thus will be permitted to n upon , munlclp0 bonds upon r time presented The committee also will concedo the contention that additional issues will be permitted to .. -,. of ,. 0!nt of the market vah.e of tlte hond. deposited instead of 7S per cent as the first bill called for. This iatter change was suggested by the terms Qf th. orlf.lnaI BaUonal bank laws. All these amendments are Intended to circuiting medium, and. secondly, for more liberal and equitable treatment of the smaller and newer centers of population, and the hope ia expressed that they will have the effect of popularizing the meas ure nd'flf expediting Its passage'. "' '" One Important efect of the bill as It Will be presented will be that' of making the United States treasury directly re sponsible for the payriient of ell bank notes issued after the law goes into effect. There la a popular Impression that under the terms of the bill there will be two kinds of bank notes one class such as is now used and issued, and the other the extra circulation to be Issued under the new law. Mr. Aldrich characterises tills as an. entire misapprehension of the in tent of the measure. On tha contrary he says that all the notes will be uniform but that they will be different from the notea now provided for. ' These specify the deposit of government bonds to se cure payment, and this specification will be discontinued. In its place will be a l-Bend to -the effect that the government auarumeea 1110 puyiiieiu ul me iiulu. "Thus," said Mr. Aldrich, "the new notes will not only be uniform but the national government will stand behind them with in explicit pledge."

Douglas County Roads. OMAHA, Jan. 22.-To the Kditor of The Eee: The condition of our country roads la a subject that interests every person who has occaaionto travel them. There fore, It is with hearty satisfaction that we commend the work of the Douglas county board during tho last two years. That tho county commissioners exercised good Judg ment in selecting Mr. H. R. Avery as superintendent of improvements has been many times emphasised by tho commend able results obtained by Mr. Avery and his corps of workmen. A little more than two years ago the country roads In Douglas county were un repaired and at times almost Impassable. During the last two yenrs .my defect has been repaired as soon as practical after becoming known. I also want to emphasize the benefit done our unpaved roads by dragging. Re forp the roadway becomes thoroughly dry after a rain drive over it with a drag and you will be surprised by the result, besides having the satisfaction of traveling over a good road. . O. A.

FALL8 CITY. Neb., Jan. 23. To the lOdltor of Tho Bte: 1 congratulate you on Hie strong fight you are making for Taft find the rank and file of the party In Nebraska. The splendid victory that a harmonious party gave last fall in Douglas county la largely due to the splendid efforts of youex-powerful paper and a grate ful public should not overlook such an in fluence when It offers a reward for faith ful aervlcei rendered. ' As for the man. all fingers again point to the "Buckeye" man. We have care fully asked many of the rank and file aa to their Vlioice and they all say Taft. No coersion, no driving. Spontaneously Teft the gigantic pillar In the Roosevelt cabinet. It Is pathetic even to a grind stone crank to read tho waitings of the World-Herald arid Its agents for tho poor downtrodden "rank and flic" of the G. O. P., who are throttled in shouting for La Follette. The lamentations of Daniel are optimistic in comparison. I.ct us not be led astray by these prophets of evil. The "rank and file" of whomo they speak consist largely of a man ("Rank") in Lincoln and a paper ("File ") inOmahu. Beware of t lie "rank and file" that Is sobbing for La Follette. It bears watching. It Is now organising Bryan volunteers at ten "plunks" per capita. A very gauxy scheme to create discord. 'Rah! for Bill Taft and Governor Hughes. M. N.
