The Commissioners' Plan.
In view OF the scarcity OF United States
bonds they cannot long be regarded as a
basis for circulation Moreover any bond
security OF a higher character yields a low
rate OF interest: and IN time OF stringency,
when borrowers need loans and the mar
ket rate OF interest Is high. there Is no
inducement 20 buy these bonds TO Increase
circulation. Hence under the present sys-
tenn, when notes would be most needed.
Il Is least profitable 10 issue them. While
providing for a partial use OF bonds for
securing notes (25 per cent OF the capitaD
the commission proposed that notes be-
yond this should be Issued on all, Instead OF
part OF. the resources OF a bank. and after
ten years that no special bond security
should be required. Banks may issue notes
up 10 GO per cent. OF their capital without
restraint for issues beyond 60 per cent.
and up to so per cent. they pay a tax OF
two per cent. for those beyond 80 per cent.
and up to 100 per cent. they pay tax OF
six per cent These notes would be
prior lien upon all the resources OF the
bank. and. In addition. upon the stock
holders liability Moreover, all banks is
suing notes contribute FIVE per cent. OF
their circulation as permanent guaranty
FUND. For daily rcdemptiOns, banks Ehould
keep a five per cent redemption fund In the
hands OF the comptroller OF the currency.
Banks or sos 900 capital may be established
In places OF 900 inhabitants. and branches

II r. apparent that the security 10 tho
noteholder under the proposed plan Is
greater than usually supposed. II notes
should be issued by all national banks 10
the amount OF 40 per cent. OF their present
capital. The security In the form OF total
assets (omittlng consideration OF stockhold-
ors' liability or guaranty fund.- Is more
than seven dollars 10 one dollar In the
3276 banks outside the reserve cities, the
protection would be 500 20 one dollar Of
notes The greatest number OF failures
on banks occurred in 1898; and yet the notes
OF these failed banks which did not realize
at least so per cent. Of their capital out OF
their resources formed only one-eighth OF
one per cent OF the proposed circulation.
Had SO per cent. OF the capital OF all ma
tional banks been Issued IN notes upon the
proposed plan. since the beginning % the
national banking system IN 1868, an as
sessment upon the banks annually Of only
one-fortleth OF one per cent, would have
been necessary. Moreover, instead OF a
tax on circulation. a tax OF one-eighth OF
one per cent. on capital and surplus Is pro-
posed TO cover the expenses OF the system.
Such plan In general would furnish
