Valdez Electric Company
The Valdes Electric Company announces that it has been or
ganised to give the Town of Valdes cheaper electric light and
power and that as soon as connections can be made with build- *
ings it will be ready to furnish light and power to the business
district at rates one-third lower than those heretofore paid. These
rates will never be raised and as rapidly as transmission lines
can be extended the company will furnish light and power to the
entire town at the lowest possible rates.
This is the people’s company. Its franchise calls for a munici
pal plant within three years if the residents of the town want
municipal ownership. Support the people’s company and insure
for all time electric light and power at popular prices.
Local capital has financed the Valdes Electa-ic Company and its
stockholders are all local consumers of electric light and power.

COMPROMISE MADE
CURRENCY BILL
i
Only Eight Regional Banks Are Now
Proposed by the Democrats,
Whereas Formerly Twelve.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—The
Democratic members of the Senate
Committee on Banking and Currency
have finally agreed upon a bill, the
outline of which was decided upon at
today’s meeting of the members of
the committee. Instead of the Glass
Owen bill, which provides for twelve
regional banks, and which is advo
cated by President Wilson as the
administration bill, the senators will
report a bill with only eight regional
banks, and it is said the compromise
will have the approval of the admin
istration.
The Democrats have been great
ly divided over the currenccy meas
ure, Senators Retd, O'Gorman and
Hitchcock all favoring a government
owned central bank, which is the
plan of the Republicans in the up
per house, but Piesiednt Wilson in
sists upon the sectional bank plan.
Under the bill to be drawn by the
Democratic majority of the commit
tee the national banks in each reg
ion must purchase the stock of the
regional bank in that section and
must pay the expense of operation.
The subscriptions are to vary, ac
cording to the amount of capitaliza
tion and deposits.
To prevent inequalities in the val
ue of stork in the regional banks and
also to hinder still greater inequali
ties in the amount of stork subscrib
ed in the various regions, it is pro
posed to have the subscription ap
portioned among all the regional re
serve banks, so that a stockholder in
New York would have pro rata shares
in all the regional banks of the coun
try. But this plan would carefully
avoid even the appearance of a sin
gle, central controlling and stock
holding body, to Which the various
regional banks would be merely
branches.
“Government Money.”
The credit of the government will ;
be 'behind the new notes. While !
many of the committee members be- j
lieve that the new notes should !
stand solely on the credit of the '
banks of issue, divorced from the !
government’s support, it is realized
that, with the banks of issue direct- >
ly controlled by the government, the,
practical distinction would be slight. ,
while the political value of such a
concession to the “government mon
ey” ideas of the Bryan followers
would be great.
The committee is leaning heavily j
to a federal reserve board, made up
of long-term appointees. There will '
be no ex officio members, with the
possible exception of the Secretary
of the Treasury, while the Secretary
of Agriculture and the Controller of
Currency are cetlain to be dropped
from the list. The long tenure of !
office of the members of the Feder
al Reserve Board, it is hoped, will
prevent control by the government
from degenerating into political con
trol.
The Republican senators will light
to force the establishment of a gov
ernment central bank controlled by
the government, but with a minority 1
of the directors ot the bank elected
by the national banks, which are to
bo affiliated with the central bank.!
It is hoped by this means to have the
reserve bank so strong that the re- ;
lief needed during times of a money j
stringency can be had at a moment’s
notice by any of the national banks
by calling upon the reserves in the
government central bank and the de
positing of the callateral held by the j
individual banks, but upon which they j
cannot realize when money is tight.;
