How lie Would Regulate the Resume and
Redemption Fund.


WASHINGTON. II. C.. April S-Spe-
cial- Representative Otey las introduced
a bM ln the House TO regulate the re
serve and the redemption funds of the
national banks I'm explanation Of his
l.I Mr Otey said 10 a representative of
Tile Times.
"Ny biu repeats section 5i92 Of Tho
Revised Statutes. This section Of the
.aut,s permits three-hftns of the re-
serves of country national banks and
BANKS of smaller cities 10 Doe kept in one
of sixteen cities. Now "a reserve is like
"a reserve corps bob am army.
"ir time OF danger it must be brought
into action. let panic come. The rec
serve Do "a bank in a rural district. we
vil s;U I- $1,000 This must be in
lawful money. except the three-hfths held
ly one of the banks I'm one of the sixteen
cities Therefore. when "a run or tho
bank occurs. the reserve IS reduced boy
$4,000 held ly "a reserve bank, and hut
S1~.Wp remains in the country bank.
By the present law these banks are
thus permitted 10 weaken themselves.
elm addition 90 this. the present law
makes 30 mandatory upon an smaller
banks to designate one Of the banks in
these sixteen cities as its redemption
deemed at par and which all national
bank redemption has ceased. except at
Che treasury. stll amounts due from
banks Boz these sixteen cities may DE
counted as lawful reserve. 90 the extent
Of threc-hfths of that reserve. Such
requirements build up the banks I'm the
redemption cities. hlt in addition 20 this,
ouc-haIf Of the reserve may bc kept in
The city of New York.
"Ihis The sixteen cities are cared for
at the expense Of the smaller banks,
including the latter. 20 accumulate de-
posits in the banks Of the former at the
risk of weakening their own reserves,
and the one city of New York IS strength
enel hy the fact that each OF the other
sixteen cities is required TO have re-
serve agent there.
"Now. however, the treasury has be-
come the general redemption agency for
al national banks. IL. instead Of this
cumbersome and expensive system. the
banks We're required TO maintain their
own reserve in lawful money, they would
necessarily absorb large amount -
the creenhacks. and 20 some extent re-
heve the pressure on the gold reserve.
My DIN will compel an banks TO keep
their own reserves, and while the treas
ury and currency laws remain as at
present. will aid In protecting the treas
ury.
