The fact that as many as seven large

local board of trade, with O view OF
etfecting transfer OF plants to Scran-

once anchored do net undergo the
many expenses of removal without con-
siderable assurance that their trade
will thereby be sufficiently increased to
warrant the outlay; or that expenses
may be sufficiently reduced; or both

STATE BINk TAX.

In pursuance of the declarations
of the Chicago platform, Congressman
Springer, of Illinois, has prepared a
bill for the repeal of the ten per cent.
tax on State bank notes. The bill
has been referred to the committee on
banking and currency and printed
1t appears to be sound financial
measure, is in line with Democratic
doctrine and should become IA law
For an epitome of its provisions, we
can not do better than to quote from
the Baltimore Sun of May Is, which
gives its provisions as follows:
The bill proposes the repeal of the
10 per cent. tax ON the notes of State
banks, provided these notes are re-
ceived from national currency COM
mission consisting of treasury Off
Gals, under prescribed conditions
that will insure their redemption in
coin Any solvent bank, State or
national, with a cash paid-up capital
of S25, 900, may receive notes on de-
posting with the commission APP
proved bonds to the amount of so per
rency desired, and, in addition, gold
coin to the amount of 20 per cent. of
such national currency. The notes is
sued are not to exceed the market val
ue of United States bonds or 80 per
cent of the market value of other
bonds. The only bonds to be received
are government bonds and such bonds
of States, cities, towns and counties
as have been for two years quoted in
the market at not under 95, have al
ways paid interest and have been le-
gally issued by communities number
ing not less than 5000 persons. The
commission may reject bonds not
deemed secure. The federal govern
ment is to have first lien OH the as
sets of bank that receives national
currency for issue. The faith and
credit of the United States are pledged
to the redemption in coin of the ma
tional currency notes issued by banks
under the act, and such notes are to
be legal tender and receivable for
customs, taxes, &c. If in any case
the 20 per cent of coin reserve should
not suffice to redeem notes, surplus
revenues in the treasury may be used
for the purpose, or per cent. bonds
may be issued to secure the required
amount. With the object it appears,
of preventing undue imitation and to
make the currency elastic, a tax, vary
ing in amount, is imposed on banks
obtaining national currency notes.
The notes will be of series A, B and G
OF series A a bank may receive 90 per
cent. of its capital stock, paying one
fifth of one per cent. tax on it; of SER
les B, 60 per cent, paying on it a tax of
n
paying tax of per cent. Banks
will thus be able to enlarge their is
sue of notes when times are panicky
and will have reason to reduce their
il sues when customers will not pay
largely for loans.
