transi It is provided that they be dls
continued at tjm cloic of tho prcsout
calendar year.
There Is, however, a Krowlng senti
ment that the suhtrensuricfl should be
abolished In tho Interests of economy.
Salaries of tho official would thus be
saved, nnd tho civil servleo employes
would be transferred to tho Federal Ho
serve system.
Representative Tlatt, of New York,
chairman of the Ilouso comraitteo on
banking and currency, offered an
amendment to the measure to provide
U'fllslatlou for the continuation of the
tUbtrensurlcs' work as provided for in
a bill now before tho committee.
This was objected to by Representa
tive Varc, who deplored tho attach
ment to an nnnronrintlon bill of legis
lation transferring the tmbtroasurics
irom n purely government basis to tne
management of tho Federal Rcsorvo
board, a "fiomlprlvnto corporation."
Tho resolution was eerrannc, it was
tho contention of Mr. Piatt, as the
transfer would save tho government
monov. It was questipned by Reprc
rcntatlvo Mnnn whether tho Ilouso bad
the right to enact now legislation ou
a supply bill.
It was ruled by Representative Long
worth, in the chair, that tho amend
ment was in order, as It was designed
to save the government money.
