bouses and Blgned by the governor
Nearly 600 bills have been Intro-
duced to date These cover nearly
the entire range of subjects treated

ture A ban practically has been
placed upon It In the senate and the
entlment Is prevalent against It In
the house
It Is difficult to forecast events re-
lating to the prohibition measure
There are those who doubt that the
champions of the bill recommended
for passage by the house committee
of the whole can muster the neces-
sary two-thirds majority vote In or-
der gain its passage as an emergency
measure A strong sentiment against
the dispensary sections Is entertained
In the senate and some of those who
originally opposed the enforcement
feature are ready to oppose the plan
of enforcement proposed In the
amended bill From practically every
county In the state hare come com-
munications memorials petitions and
resolutions asking the Immediate
passage of an enforcement law Let'
ten and telegrams come dally to the
governor and the legislators Fla-
grant vitiations are reported in many
places Conditions have been the
cause ot several special messages
from the governor urging the passage
of a law that will permit him to ef-
fectually enforce the constitutional
prohibitory law
When the prohibition bill Bhall have
been finally disposed of In the house
the next matter that Is likely to brook
extended discussion and a variety of
sentiment Is that relating to the es-
tablishment of an Insane asylum at
Fort Supply Two reports are made
One of them recommends appropria-
tions for placing the Fort Supply
buildings In order purchasing neces-
sary furniture and supplies removal
of patients and maintenance of the
- Institution for a year Another re-
port opposes an appropriation on the
ground that the state has no title to
the buildings and reservation
The first real laborious committee
work of the session has been done
since the holidays Practically every
‘ bill that has been Introduced Is now
In the hands of a committee or has
been reported out by the committee

Boston City club and guests
Treasurer Treat traced the history
of the national banking system speak-
ing in part as follows
Mr Treat declared that It was
amazing to him that the national bank-
ing system that had made national
money acceptably good that had
given us cheap money sound money
and unbounded credit at home and
abroad with a lower rate of Interest
on Its securities than Is borne by any
other nation should be looked upon
by some bankers with so much discon-
tent at Its workings and so much cen-
sorious criticism In deprecation of Its
merits
“There is no banking system any-
where” said Mr Treat "under which
the depositor is safer and more as-
sured “There is before congress today a
bill introduced by the chairman of the
finance committee of the United States
senate which provides for an emer-
gency Issue of currency to stay panics
or to be used In times of panic
This anticipates the future What I
think Is needed Is a supplemental cur-
rency not too highly taxed but obtain-
able at a moderate rate ot Interest
that shall be used for about six
months In the year with compulsory
retirement After serving Its purpose
every autumn In moving the crops the
output of our factories this supple-
ment currency should be retired and
should then be reissued the following
autumn I maintain that all Issues of
a supplemental currency should have a
definite time for retirement otherwise
It would produce a permanent infla-
tion Mr Treat declared himself in favor
of a national clearing house bank
