MOSS STIRS AUDIENCE BY TRIBUTE TO WILSON

Congressman Given Ovation When He Recounts Great Achievements of the President.

Special to The Tribune.

BRAZIL, Ind., Oct. 31.—Congressman Ralph W. Moes spoke to one of the largest political meetings ever held in Clay county Friday night in the auditorium of the new county c/art bouse. Frank Horner, one of the leaders of the bar here, presided, and the stage was occupied by prominent citizens of Clay county and surrounding points, among whom was District Chairman James L. Randel. Mr. Moss was cheered to the echo when he referred to the peace policies of President Wilson, and his references to the achievements of the past congress in the interests of the old soldiers brought a burst of applause. In discussing the great constructive legislation under«t- taken by the democratic president and party, Mr. Moss said: fe "To my mind the currency bill is ty the most nearly perfect piece of confe structive legislation that has been put on the statute books in half a century.

This one bill, and the fact that the "Wilson administration has introduced an innovation by keeping all the plat'f&wrrn pledges made for it by its party are the causes of its great popularity. 5F "The passage of the currency bill saved a panic. Nothing but the ?cnfl'lence of the people in the early es(£v tablishment of the new currency sys- $ tem could have preventd a universal ranic in this country when the European war broke out. But the people, .» knowing that the banks would have the privilege of discounting notes at the federal reserve banks, had a feeling of absolute confidence that relieved all fear of runs on banks. j? "Now that all the directors under the federal reserve systm have been

appointed these federal reserve banks -'i* will be in operation and member banks can obtain accommodations there to the extent of the securities they hypothecate and guarantee. 'M, No More Panics.

A

ths U: "led States will issue under this ^act will be better secured than the money of any other nation of the world. It has been estimated, on account of the securities offered as collateral being required to represent actual transactions in commerce, that the government would have the security of the maker, the acceptor, the bill of lading of goods shipped, the guarantee of the national bank at which the paper is first discounted, the guarantee of the federal, reserve bank, and then 40 per cent of £he gold reserve hypothecated by the f§|§ral reserve bank. The chances of the failure of all these securities within ninety days —the life of a note—are so infinitesplimtl as to call for no consideration whatever. "The administration that put such a law as this on the statute books will be remembered for all time. "If the earnest effort of the national government to open opportunity to individual enterprise and to limit and, ys i»o far as possible, to destroy the effortB of monopolists, is to meet with «Vjthe approval of those benefited if the .suauccessful democratic reform of currency and banking laws is to be recognlsed by bankers and customers in proper measure if the far-seeing pol-

WILSON LAW CATCHES PRICE MANIPULATORS

Indictments Are Returned In New Jersey Against Oil Companies Engaged in Hate War.

JERSEY CITY, N. J., Oct. 31—It was reported here today that criminal indictments had been voted by the Hudson county grand Jury against the Standard Oil company, of New Jersey, and the Gulf Refining company, which have been engaged in a rate war on gasoline in Hudson and Essex counties within the past few months.

The indictments, according to the report, were two in number and were voted last night. It was said that they would not be handed into court until next Monday and that they were found under the so-called seven sisters' laws, which were placed on the statute books through the efforts of Woodrow Wilson when he was governor of the state.

Ten witnesses testified yesterday before the grand jury as to the part played by the two companies in the recent rapid lowering of prices on gasoline in Hudson county. A public investigation, conducted before Judge Sullivan, of the common pleas court, about a month ago, adduced evidence that within the space of two months the price on gasoline had been cut more than 50 per cent. It was charged then that the Standard Oil company had cut the price to drive competitors out of business, but this, Judge Sullivan held, was not proven.

Under the so-called seven sisters' law a corporation could be found guilty of misdemeanor and punished by a fine of $1,000 or more, or imprisonment for the officers whose acts were adjudged illegal, or both.
