The Potter BilI-HOw Its Provisions Look
 to Secretary FoIgsr.
 WASHINGTON, March 5.-Secretary Folger has written to Mir. Morrison, chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, acknowledging the receipt of request to examine the Potter bill and re- port whether there would be any difficulty in the execution Of the law if passed and if it would lead to the conversion of the and 1-2 per cent. bonds, and whether there would be again loss to the govern ment by the conversion. Secretary Folger says to the first inquiry that there would be no difficulty in simple conversion of one kind of bond into another, but the details of the conversion as named in the second clause involve some difficulty in execution. Regarding the second section he suggests that it be amended so as to provide for the issue of $5,0OO bonds To the inquiry whether the law would probably lead to the conversion of the per cent. and $ per cent. bonds,'' he is of opinion that, taken in come ection with the reduction of tax on circulation one-half as provided in section 5, it would probably result in the conversion of such bonds to a large amount and possibly the amount offered for conversion would include all such bonds now held for security to circulation. The proposed reduction of one-half of one per cent. in circulation based on ? per cent. would he thinks in twenty two years diminish the receipts of the government in the sum of $1S.58 7-1O on each $1OO of circulation, the present worth of which would be S7 47 3-1O. The account as be- tween the bank and the government would, he thinks be in favor of the bank by just that sum. The language of the sixth section of the bill he says is not quite clear and doubts whether the people would approve of it's nroYisionS.
