KICKER,S CORNER.

EDITOR K1CKER's CORNER-I de-
sire to answer "Precinct," the constable
kick. He is wrong in his conjecture
that the Sheriff or his deputy can charge
or receive greater fee for service rem
dered in Justice court or Probate
court matters than constables are al
lowed. The law regulating the fees in
service of both Offices are the same and
the officer, who over charges for his SER
vice lays himself liable to prosecution
for misdemeanor and ought to be
kicked" The reason why constables
do not usually get the papers of the
lower courts to serve is due to their
neglect to properly inform themselves
as to their duties in the matter of exc
cutting process; and sheriffs and their
deputies being usually better Informed
(save the mark upon these matter, the
papers are directed to their hands from
necessity. KICKER"

APPOSEO TO ANY CHANGE,

Editor Unconstitutional comes
to me that | am quoted as being
in favor with the plan to substitute
stone, instead of brick and stone, as
material in the erection of the Soldiers
Home.
Some months ago the Board of Trus-
tees decided on plans and specifications
relative to the erection of said building.
The vote was unanimous and all ap-
peared delighted and satisfied with the
plans, material and general arrange
ment. The contract was let for the
building of the foundation in order that
work could proceed in the spring.
l have opposed any change in plans
or material from the fact that l could
not see that the veterans, or the state.
would be benefited, nor would time be
gained by the change, for by the time
the foundation is completed the brick
work can be commenced.
1t occurs to me that a change in
plans or material would nulify or CON-
plicate the original plans as adopted,
especially in legal view. The increase
in cost, though slight, is another OBJ
lection, and if proposition was to be
made to erect the structure of stone
entire, and at the same cost, under the
! plans already agreed on, it could not be
accepted. VIC. MAXEY.

REPLY To cLAGETT.
His Theory Of Reserves Reversed-Things Viewed
From Another Standpoint.

EDITOR TRIBUNE-The Boise Sen
tinel of January contains letter
from Mr. Clagett, the third of series
in which he devotes his attention to the
circulating medium, it's contraction,
and it's causes. Chief among these he
names bank reserves, although he does
not undertake to explain how they
effect contraction except to say that
they are locked up by law and by the
demands of prudence having the effect
of law. 1t might be said right here that
if this is correct it behooves depositors
to know and realize the fact that a
large percentage of their deposits is
withheld from them by some process
of law, not clearly understood, but,
which Mr.. C. asserts is effective in all
banks of deposit.
A general knowledge of this fact
would require that banks should 60,
and SPEEDILY. Not any particular class
of banks, but all classes and kinds; be-
cause banks that carry no reserve are
menace to depositors and those
that do are menace to us all,
since they appear to withhold
large percentage of the circulat-
ing medium, which might, if turned
loose. on the principal of natural
affinity, attach itself to sundry individ-
uals in the proportion necessary to
swell their diminished holdings to a
proper ratio. 1t has been claimed by
some very thoughtful people that banks
at various times have exerted an un-
favorable influence on our circulation,
but on lines quite different from those
laid down by Mr.. Clagett. It is not to
be doubted that banking interests have,
by their attitude during certain finan-
cial crisis in the nations history, inyit-
ed the censure measured to them on
those and other occasions. Their
course during the incipient and pro-
gressive stages of the present financial
depression, and their connection with
the influences that operated to bring it
about, have called forth a protest that
it may be wise for them to heed. The
influence which those interests, when
acting in concert, can and sometimes
do, exert on legislation has come to be
understood, but not fully appreciated
by the American people. These things,
however, offer no excuse for the mis-
representation or perversion of facts
relative to principles involved in their
management. TO quote Mr.. Clagett:
"rhe meanest form of deception is the
telling of only part of the truth where
the telling of the whole truth would
expose the lie." He says that Is per
cent, of the deposits of national banks
in reserve cities and Is per cent, of
those outside of reserve cities are lock
ed up by law. New with all due re-
spect for the attachments of Mr.. c., |
beg to submit that there is no provis-
ion of law which either in fact, or by
implication requires the locking up of
this or any other percentage of their de-
pOs1ts. National banks in central re-
serve cities are required by law to keep
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1894-01-20

in their banks % per cent, one half of
which may be kept on deposit with
National banks in central reserve cities;
and those outside of reserve cities are
requied to maintain a reserve of Is per
cent, three-ffths of which may be
kept on deposit with national banks in
reserve cities. (See Pratt's Digest.)
1t will thus be seen that there is an
important difference between what Mr..
Clagett states as law, and what the law
actually is, and if taken into account
in his discussion of financial condition
would necessitate material change in
his deduction. The q and the 3-5 of
reserve which are unavailable to bor-
rowers in the original banks of deposit,
becomes available when transferred to
national banks in reserve or central
reserve cities, as the case requires, and
to a greater extent than might be in
ferred from legal limitations, since
national banks in those cities in esti-
mating reserve on national banks de-
posits are required to take into account
only the difference between amount
due to, and amount due from national
banks.
The modification which these fea-
lures effect in the law of reserve is
worth discussing, but the purpose of
this letter does not require it. It is
sufficient to show that the law on the
subject is quite different from what
Mr.. Clagett has told us. To say that
he knew it to be so would be to charge
him with demagoguery. To assume
that he was ignorant of such an impor-
tant provision of the National Bank
act would be to doubt his intelligence.
It may be fairly supposed that his
profession as an attorney and his
career as politician must have led
him along lines of investigation and
inquiry which ought to have embraced
within their scope an analysis of the
whole act. Now let us see whether
bank reserves, in any proportion, con-
tract the circulation to the extent of
their volume, or to any extent, and if
they do not, what effect they do have
on it. Law in special cases and bust
ness prudence in all. have established
a ratio of reserve for the protection of
deposits and restrain banks from using
it for investment and for accommodation
of borrowers. But they cannot, nor do
they pretend to, restrain the banks
from paying it to depositors when
necessity requires. Nor do reserve re-
quirements pretend to affect the right
of the depositor to the free and full use
of his entire deposit. His proper de-
mands must be paid in full though it
may exhaust every penny of the legal
and all other reserves. The reserves
therefore practically and theoretically
considered is part of the deposit and
if this part be regarded as withdrawn
from circulation, the whole must be so
regarded and this can be done on no
other ground than that it is deposit
IN bank. If this reasoning be correct
and we must accept it as the logical
outcome of Mr.. Clagetts theory-it
would develop the absurd showing
that we did not only not have per

capita circulation of $24.47 as certi-
fed by the Z. S. Treasurer nor $l1.62
as claimed by Mr.. c., but worse than
none at all, as the total deposits in
banks exceed the certified circulation
by about $50 per cent. Bank deposits
are largely composed of industrial and
commercial credit balances which serve
as potent auxiliary to the circulating
medium because of the ease with which
they can be applied to the purchase of
property and the liquidation of debts.
They have for their basis that portion
of the circulation which law and pru-
dence have ordained as necessary for
the safe handling of such balances.
This portion of the circulation through
the superior functions it is called up
on to perform serves to enlarge the
functions of the other portion in the
proportion that bank deposits. less
reserves, bear to the whole circulation.
A practical illustration of this theory
may be had by citing the case of per-
son possessed of 800 in cash. In his
possession its capacity is limited to his
individual use to the extent of 100 per
cent. of itself. But when he deposits
it in bank large percentage becomes
at once available to some other individ-
ual who may wish it, while the de-
positor loses none of the advantages
that accrued to him while retaining it
in his personal possession, since through
the methods of banking he is enabled
to transact his business on the same
basis as before the deposit. The bank
which we will assume to be one in
which law supplemented by prudence
requires q reserve of 80 per cent. loans
$40. The 500 is thus made to do
double duty. Itserves the convenience
of the depositor and supplies the
necessity of the borrower, so that its
capacity as a circulating medium is en-
larged to 10 per cent. while the 30 per
cent. reserve operates as fulcrum to
maintain an equilibrium between tho
two TX"
