The favorite idea with the Representatives is that the government should advance $1,000,000—the only way being that suggested by the HrxaLp—the banks to loan the money and rely on the next Congress to reimburse them. If there was au absolute necessity for this the banks would consider the project at once, and advice has been sought on the legality of such a Among other prominent counsellors seen was ex, United States District Attorney Sumuel G. Courtuey, who said:—*I'bis question, divested of attendant cir- cumétancer, is easily answered, The banks, as such, have ne right to loan the money of their stockholders oo presumable security avy more than Congressmen have the right to piedge themselves in advance to support a measure yet to be brought bofore them.
