The secretary of the treasury announced a plan to provide from 25,000,000 to 50,000,000 to banks in the west and south to move crops. The proposal has won general approval with many applications from crop regions and is expected to ensure currency for markets, boosting public confidence.
Chicago plans to employ women police as a natural result of women gaining suffrage in Illinois. The move aims to showcase women’s public service capability and address welfare of young girls and children, with the experiment expected to prove satisfactory.
The charge that Republicans in Congress plot a panic over tariff and currency bills is dismissed as absurd. Critics of the measures are not limited to Republicans and have an obligation to warn the nation about potential dangers in the proposed legislation.
Germany resents a proposed 15 percent tariff on German books entering the United States, boycotting the Panama Pacific exposition. The move would burden German publishers and Germans in America seeking their literature. Advocates urge education should be tariff free, noting ample government revenue makes a literary tax indefensible.
Illinois Senator Lewis advances a plan to establish a annual Father's Day to honor the nation's "daddies" a move seen as likely not to succeed yet offers him a stage for eloquent praise of the old man of the family.

Railroads argue the policy is legitimate business, urging Nebraska producers to adopt stronger measures to protect and grow the regional market.

The Interstate Commerce Commission orders express rate reductions to take effect by October 15 after a year long investigation led by Franklin K. Lane.

The two year order could be modified if conditions warrant.
The administration's currency and banking bill draws heavy opposition from Democrats in congress and from country banks across the west south and southwest. Bankers give scant support while New York centers are blamed by supporters. a Sherman letter to Illinois bankers shows only about ten percent favorable replies and near universal disapproval among national institutions.
Banks argue national banks cannot survive under the proposed currency system and would become state institutions. Opposition is strongest from western and southern small financial centers, with east wary but less hostile. Critics call the bill crude, framed in haste, aiming to empower a political machine to direct monetary policy, while President Wilson pushes for passage this session despite signs it may move to the regular session.
The Panama Canal nearing completion raises toll and diplomatic issues. The British protest over American coastwise toll exemptions tests the Hay Pauncefote treaty, with arbitration sought by Britain but not yet accepted.
