WASHINGTON, Dec IA letter from
A. r. Hepburn, of New York, ex-comp-
trolier OF the currency, was read 10 tue
house banking and currency committee
In which Hepburn says on the banking
question: ''Of course Mr.. Carlisle's pro
Visions requiring banks taking out circu-
iation to deposit greenbacks treasury
notes Is made in the interest of relieving
she government and not for the benefit
81 the currency issue. / do not know
that l have any objections to that. l
should like to see any safe course pursued
which would relieve even temporarily the
government from present embarrass-
nents. 1t is by no means an unmixed
blessing 10 its banks, the retirement of
the government from the banking busi-
ness.
Believes in a Good Reserve
While it would benefit the government
and the people as Il whole ii would Ger
tainly put added responsibilities upon the
banks. l am strongly opposed TO the prop
osition to do away with the requirement.
that the banks keep reserves, and my un-
derstanding of the law does not tally with
that OF the secretary. The law when it
was drafted, rs understand it, was based
upon the experience of prudent and well
managed banks, and the reserve was fixed
at 4 point'where prudent and well mean
ing banks carried their reserves. 1t was
sought to fix a limit so that Il well man
aged bank would as often be over as under
its reserve in the regular course of bust
ness.
Was Made for the DoubtfuI Tenth.
This law is made not for the nine
banks who would observe it without any
legal provisions, but for the tenth one
that either through incompetent, specu-
iativc or unsafe management might fail
10 keep proper reserve and to keep itself
in Ii sufficiently strong position To meet
the demands that might be made, upon it.
/ The statement which the secretary makes
that the state banks keep 20 per cent. re-
serve, whereas the national banks keep
only Is, i do not think is well founded -
Hepburn also criticised the repeal of the
10 per cent. tax on state bank notes while
leaving Il tax on national bank notes; also
the forbidding Of national banks to issue
notes OF less than $40.
Proposed Tax of Little Value.
| He thought the safety fund should be
equally compulsory-state banks should
be required to keep the same reserve The
section of the Carlisle bill which provides
| for the imposing 10 per cent. tax in case
/ the bank does not satisfy the secretary
and comptroller he thinks would be of
little account: the imposition OF the tax
after q bank had failed would only ar-
/ gravate and cornplicate matters. de
| thinks state banks designed to take ont
/ circulation should become national banks
| in fact. 1.-The secretarys discussion OF
| financial question in general / most
( cordially approve, and the conclusions he
reaches l believe are wise and sound but
/ the details of the bill he has submitted. in
/ my Judgment, are open To serious
/ criticism

THE VIEWS OF A BANKER,
Retire the Legal Tenders and Let Banks
Issue the Currency. He says.

2
Issue the Currency, He Says.
Among those who addressed the com
mittee was William c. Cornwer. presi-
dent of the City bank of Buffalo n Y.
and president of the New York State
Ban kcrs association. His ideas in brief
were to retire the legal tenders = Let
the national banks take out notes under
the baltimore plan to replace them 3.
Appoint an impartial expert commission
To perfect our currency system. He said:
THE greenback and treasury notes should
he redeemed and cancelled; the real busi.
ness OF the government as regards money
Is to stamp upon gold and silver their
fneness and weight. A government has
no right to issue paper with nothing back
OF it, and to make it legal tender-to ere.
ate currency and by an act of law force
the people to take il at full value without
regard to the intrinsic worth
'Al such issues up to date have ended
in trouble. The grecnbacks and treasury
notes are of this character. They are the
governments notes to the extent of $780,
Ooo,OO1, payable on demand and in gold
They have caused trouble enough already.
They are a constant menace to the gold
reserve. They should be paid I'D. The
vacancy should be filled with bank notes.
The best currency of the best nations to-
day is mainly bank notes. which are a first
lien upon the assets of the bank These
assets are commercial possessions repre-
senting the product of the brain and mus
Gle of millions of people. They are the
wealth of the nation. What better basis
for circulation can there be than this-the
actual wealth of the nation
| To fill the vacancy created by the re-
tirement of the legal tenders. and as fast
as they are retired, national banks should
be allowed to issue notes to a percentage
of capital, without bond security, the
notes to be a first lien upon the assets of
the bank including the double liability of
stockholders, with guaranty fund made
up by all the banks, the government con-
tinuing to guarantee and redeem all notes
as at present. This is practically the Bal
timore plan. 1t is simple; it is good as
far Mt it goes, and it goes far enough for
the present. To perfect the system fur
ther and make out the complicated and
delicate problems attending this an inn
partial expert commission should be ap-
pointed"
