The legislature weighs a bill by State Senator Campbell to issue paper currency equal to 1 percent of assessed state valuation.

Washington correspondent notes that big trusts and combinations exist under free trade in England and the U S to control outputs and prices, arguing a protective tariff does not necessarily foster such power.

The majority committee members show clear sympathy with the views expressed and intend to frame the bill to avoid special privileges for any person or group and to protect free domestic competition.
