It, feel that the Eastern banks would
not want to assume risk OF loans OF
Western banks, aud Western banks of
being possibly materially hampered or
dictated TO by tho Eastern banks. For
some time II occurred to mo that the
banks OF each state form themselves
Into separate clearing house associa-
tons, the same as the city banks have
In many cities. These cities see the
advantages OF such associations. and
would think the state associations
could work on the same general plans.
which by practical experience proves
good. The only difference In my Idea
from present plans of city clearing
houses IL that the government when
requested, take the clearing house cer-
tihcates OF the state associations and
give currency for face amount at rate

tlon would furnish same to borrowing

make good revenue 20 the government,
