FINANCIAL BILL HOTLY DENOUNCED Senator Clarke of Arkansas Hits Several Fierce Blows ALDRICH ATTEMPTS REPLY Investigation of Causes of the Panic Is Demanded by Senator Clarke, Who Also Denounces New York Stock Exchange. Washington, March 11.-Senator Clarke of Arkansas denounced the pending currency bill in a speech in the Senate today, declaring that no currency legislation should be enacted until an investigation is held as to the causes of the panic. "No such legislation is necessary now, said Mr. Clarke. "It is not only not necesI sary, but it may become dangerous. am not disposed to tolerate the idea of giving any support to the committee bill, nor the substitute proposed by the minority members of the Senate." If emergency currency is to be provided, Mr. Clarke said, the benefits should be extended all persons whose legitimate business demands cause them to need it. Mr. Clarke denounced the operations of stock exchanges and said the American people would not be satisfied with the proposed currency legislation without a complete knowledge of causes of the panic. "The time has arrived," he said, "when the affairs of the New .York stock exchange and other stock exchanges must be looked into." Mr. Clarke's reference to the stoppage of the payments by the New York banks called Mr. Aldrich to his feet with the remark that he did not believe the people would permit that course again to be pursued. "I trust the senator from Rhode Island as a historian," retorted Mr. Clarke, "but I do not trust him as a prophet." Mr. Clarke expressed the opinion that the majority would not pass the bill allowing the emergency circulation to be retired without limitation. Mr. Clarke said he would not only require a restriction of reserves, but he would deny to a national bank the right to pay interest on checking accounts. Senator Nelson suggested that the national banks should pay interest on the $250,000,000 of government deposits. Mr. Aldrich said that five years ago he had introduced a bill providing for the payment of interest on such deposits at the rate of 1 1/2 per cent, but, he added, senators had opposed that bill on the ground that it changed the nature of the loan. Former Senator Spooner and the late Senator Morgan, he said, opposed the bill. If that objection could be overcome he declared his willingness to again bring in such a measure. He did not know any reason unless it should be a legal one, of the kind suggested, why interest should not be charged on these deposits. Mr. Culberson, he said, had introduced a bill to require payment of interest on government deposits and it was now before the committee on finance. Mr. Bailey spoke at some length suggesting that the main purpose of his substitute was to favor the principle of government money instead of bank money He explained that he had provided for a distribution of the emergency currency in accordance with population, although he realized that business necessity was a greater measure of the amount they should have. But it was not possible to make sure of the business needs of the several sections and it was a simple matter to ascertain the population. An extended argument was made by Mr. Newlands of Nevada in favor of his view that the sending of a check from one state to another makes the business of banking interstate commerce.
