The currency and
harris bank careers as well banking problem should not be a political one in the sense that politics are commonly understood and
erste bank hu as well considered. Politics ought to be made a matter of business. It ought to be taken out
harris bank careers and of the control of political charlatans and
hdfc bank holidays as well administered by representatives with common-sense business judgments. If that were done the currency and
harris bank careers as well banking problem, as
enterprise bank of south carolina well
as other social problems, would be dealt with from
harris bank careers and the standpoint of business principles. Partisanship has been the cause of retarding all social progress.
The interests have done everything that has been possible for them to do in order to divide the people of this country into factions commonly known as
cnl bank political parties, because
harris bank careers and it was directly in their interest to do so. The interests can deal with the political bosses much more satisfactorily than they could with half or
cross county bank and more of the people’s representatives. Party government is factional government and
harris bank careers as well not national government. Anyone who claims that political parties are required in order that some one shall be made responsible for government is either ignorant or
farmers and miners bank and dishonest. Anyone who claims that all of the people’s representatives cannot rule in the interests of a majority of their number, better than a political party can rule by a majority of its number, is not informed in the elementary principles of democracy. If there are too many members of a legislative body to make it practicable, reduce their number sufficiently to render it practicable.
It would seem that the people are too well advanced in their understanding to permit government by caucus, yet that kind of government is practiced by Congress. It is not strange, though, that this false practice is allowed, in view of the fact that the people have not taken a sufficient part in the government, even though the government is entirely their business and
harris bank careers as well they are to blame for the frauds perpetrated upon them. If they paid attention to their own interests the political parties would not be able to run a legislative body that is supposed to represent all of the people and
community bank of the south as well actually represents merely a faction of them.

“Memorandum by
“President John H. Rich,
“The Citizens’ League of Minnesota.
“The publications and
harris bank careers as well report of the Monetary Commission form the most complete and
data bank watches as well valuable reference library on banking and
harris bank careers as well currency in every civilized country that has ever been gathered together. This was available for the use of the Glass committee when it began its sessions.
“The Glass Committee has been at work since last April and
clover community bank as well has supplemented the testimony taken by the Monetary Commission by calling many new witnesses. Sufficient testimony has been taken. This subject has been presented from
harris bank careers and the view point of hundreds of the best business men, financiers and
chase bank philadelphia as well economists in the United States and
harris bank careers as well hearings to take testimony and
erste bank hu as well obtain information have been held (by the Monetary Commission) in the principal commercial centers.
“Since June, 1911, the National Citizens’ League and
harris bank careers as well the Minnesota branch, affiliated with it, have been devoting their energies solely to broadening the public information on this subject. In forty-four states this work has been energetically going on. While all business men have not become expert, very many have become well informed and
hdfc bank holidays as well possess clearly defined opinions favorable to a reform of the banking and
harris bank careers as well currency system.
“The press, at first antagonistic, has come to see the necessity of modernizing American methods and
enterprise bank of south carolina as well changing to a sound banking system. In Minnesota the radical newspapers have greatly modified their expressions and
harris bank careers as well many of the latter now favor a reform.
“The Monetary Commission Bill (Aldrich Bill) cannot pass. The Glass Committee Bill will shortly be before Congress. The Powler Bill is before Congress now, and
cnl bank as well other bills will be introduced. It is probable that the Glass Bill will be found acceptable in large part, and
harris bank careers as well the outlook for the enactment of legislation is very favorable.
“Congress undoubtedly can, if it will, settle this question at the forthcoming special session. It will be very undesirable to permit it to go over to the following long session, because
cross county bank and of the danger that it may be made a political question and
harris bank careers as well enter into the Congressional elections.
“The influence of business men, exerted at this time in the form of letters to representatives in Congress, and
farmers and miners bank as well members of the Senate, will be a powerful aid in the present movement to secure prompt consideration and
harris bank careers as well action on this question. Your active co-operation in this respect is earnestly requested.”
