Senator Root today presented amendments to tho cur rency bill to 'eliminate tne guarantee of deposits (ind'reviso the noto Issue section to provide fdr a graduated tax on reserve defldencWtd1 prevent Inflation. ' "I think tlili bill has many beneficial features which ought to be enacted Into law," he said; "It Is 'unfortunate cir cumstances under which tho bill comes to us bumper discussion. It In un fortunate tho action on the measure was not delayed until the bill had been threshed out In the senate. In presenting amendments wo labor under tho dis couraging Idea that the bill has boon al ready passed." Senator Root pointed out that there was no limit In the amount of the new cur rency which could be Issued under the bllL "This provision,'' said he, referring to the note Issue section, "is simply author ity for the further Increase of our pres ent greenbacks." He pointed out that the government already has 1321,000,000 of de mand' obligations, against ' which It holds $391,000,003 In gold and silver. He argued that any further Increase of obligation should be nut,horlrod only on ample re serves. Ireillcta Illtr Expansion. Predictions of a big expansion ot busi ness that would threaten nn over expansion of credit nnd currency under the new law were modi by Senator Root. "We started out to provide an clastic currency, but thts bill provides for an expansive currency," said the senator. "It provides for a currency that may be Increased, always Increased, hut there Is no provision compelling its reduction." While the federnl reserve board, Sena tor Root ml mil ted, had discretionary powers to limit the Issue of currency so far as tho proposed new law Itself Is concerned, there was no specific restraint on the constant Increase of the volume of currency. "There will be nn activity of enter prise that will absorb the maslmum which tHe reserves of the banks will per mit," he said, "and It will require tho exercise,'- to the extreme of the author ity of the federal reserve board, to hold It In check." Senator Root declared the new bill, so far as specific restraints on the expan sion of the currency were concerned would not help to check panles. Illll Will Xot Prevent Pnnlea.

Senator Root's amendmont would tax all notra Issued after .the gold reserve dropped below Eo per cent. It would also provide that any new notes Issued after D0n.CCO,0U0 lmd been put out should pay a special tax of 1V4 per cent and that after 11,500,000,000 notes had been Issued a tax of S per cent should be Imposed on fur ther Issues.

President Wilson, Vice President Mar shall, Secretary Ilryan and leaders In the senate and houso came in for a sharo on the gridiron.

Vice President Marshallera appeared and explaining that he had heard there vas a vacancy at the White House, claimed his rights. He was, however, promptly ejected by the dictator with the remark; "Rights! Why, the only right you have Is to wonder about ''the president's state of health, and I am very well." After Increasing his own salary, Ilryanna llryana made all his army gen erals; told them ha could not Pay and sent them out to HIl Champero Clarklstu. Hut that astute leuder won over the army with promise of pay and marching Into tho hall, overthrew llryana and ordored his execution, which sentence, however, he was Impelled to make worse by add ing, "cut his vocal cords." Hardly had the new dictator assumed office and killed Senators O'Gormano, Reedavora and Illtchkoko before the army, which has been outside "reducing Scnor llryaua's Income nt its source," returned headed by another pretender this time "William Alsorandolpho I(ertfl," who demandod the presidency on the ground of "the million acres I own In Mrxleo, that I wont thts country to protect."

President .Raymond 1'otncaro lias talked unofficially with Jean Jules Jusserand, French ambassador to the United States; Myron T. llorrick, United States ambassador to France, and others of the possibility of his paying a Visit to the Unted States during his term ot office. The suggestion was first made to him privately by a' friend, who Inquired whether the president's visit to othor countries' ought not to lncludo ono to tho United States, pointing out that the rela tions between- tho two countries always hnd been so agrpcuble and that tho United States -was tho solo exception among all tho other great powers. President Polncaro received the sug gestion 'sympathetically and took occasion lit' September to speak ot tho mutter to Ambassador Jusserand while he was passing his holiday in Franco. At other tlmes'tho president' spoke of It with Am bassador Herrick. The subject was also brought informally to the consideration ot President Wilson, who said It would give the government and the people of , the United States a great deal of. pleasure to entertain Presi dent and .Madame Polncaro. The question was raised whether Presl- dent Wilson could promise to ray a re- turn visit to France, and President WIN son said ho saw no likelihood of being able to do so, No official discussion of this suggestion has taken place and It remains for thu present under private consideration. It Is felt, however, at the palaoo ot tho Elyseo that such an exchange of visits might be an admirable way of showing the unity of Xeollng and the good will existing between the two republics In somewhat the same way as tho com- munlty of interests between monarchies lis often Indicated by visit ofroya per sonages.
