One objection is thai under section T
some banks may be permitted to take
circulation of 80 per cent of their CO pital
stock, while the bill limits the circula-
tion to 70 per cent of the capital stock.
This would be remedied by requiring the
excess to be returned by a deposit of

IS CRAW-FISH|NG
The Bankers Compel Secretary Car.
Isle to Change His Cur
rency Plan
TO SUIT Their OWN IDEAS
He Is Willing to Make Any COnces.
sion to Have the Bill Be-
come a Law.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.--The Carlisle
currency bill now before the house of
representatives will be withdrawn and
a substitute presented. This decision
was reached after caucus of democratic
members of the banking and currency
committee quietly held last night, fol-
lowed by conference held between Car
Isle and Chairman Springer today. The
substitute has already been drawn and
will be offered by Springer tomorrow
certainly before the holiday recess-as
the desire of all concerned is to settle
the matter prior to adjournment. 1t
differs very materially from the original
Carlisle bill. Two very important feat
ures appear for the first time in the sub
stitute. The original Carlisle bill con-
templates that all national banks must
reorganize under the new plan. This
would have required them to surrender
the government bonds which now con-
stitute the basis of their circulation.
The substitute does away with this i'm
perative change. II national banks wish
to continue to hold their United States
bonds to issue circulation thereon they
may do SO. 1t is felt that they will soon
discover the advantages of the new sys-
tenn and therefore adopt it voluntarily.
Another important feature of the substi-
tute is that it does away with unknown
liabilities. The banks guarantee the
notes of all the other banks. The orig
inal bill contemplated that, if national
bank failed its notes could be paid out
of its assets and general safety fund"
made up by all the banks, but if the
assets and safety fund were insufficient
to pay the notes of the failed bank, then
the comptroller of the currency was to
make pro rata assessment to shoulder
all banks with the unknown risk. In
effect it made them supply insurance on
the notes of all banks in which they had
no concern. In view of these criticisms
the substitute will do away with the
plan, The safety fund will
be the limit of liability of all the banks
for the failure of individual banks. They
will, however, be compelled to keep up
this safety fund by more rigid provisions
than proposed in the original plan.
