| Reports BY committee on banks, against bill
relating TO banks(requiring l-2 of per cent semi
annually on capital stock to be paid to the treas
ury, and repeating The Sec requiring the banks to
redeem in Boston,; supported by Mr. Cobb, and op.
posed by Mr. Chandler of p, when Mr. Bascom
moved to dismiss the bill, which motion was sup
ported by Messrs Hebard, Chandler of W., Moves,
Pierpont and Barton, opposed by Messrs Cobb,
Fullam and Villas, and carried, ayes 1871, noes, 81.
1.-THE friends of this bill supported it on the grounds
that The banks under The act of 1910 were exempted
from tax which was imposed upon the other
banks, and also upon the banks of the other New
England states; that this tax was just; and that the
exemption of the new banks operated as bonus
to them for redeemng in Boston when they would
in fact redeem there, as was their interest to do,
without bonus. The opponents of the bill urged |
that the exemption was granted in consideration
of the facts that the new banks were not only re-
quired to redeem in Boston, but were restricted in |
several points beyond the old banks, particularly
in the amount Of their discounts and required also |
TO give bonds for the redemption Of their bills that
It was not their interest to redeem in Boston, as
by thus doing they were restricted in their amount
Of circulation far below those banks not redeemina
there-but that this bill was only for the interest Of
the public, to whom there was thus secured cur
rency, always at par and always safe and sound
Mr. Fulnm opposed the dsmission rather for the
reason that It's friends were entitled to full hear
ing, than from favor to the bill BY committee
of Claims, against bl' to pay sas Wright, and it
was dismissed; bill to pay Ziba b. Nichols SIS,
and it was ordered TO be engrossed.
MIR Villas, out of courtesy moved 10 reconsider
