Recurring to the subject of the subtreas-
ury system the Journal feels like empha-
sizing the suggestion that the system
should either be abolished or greatly cur
tailed The arguments in favor of such
action are. first, it could be done without
any inconvenience whatever TO the govern
ment or interfering with any financial
function; second, il would effect saving
10 the government of several hundred
thousand dollars year in salaries and ex-
penses; third. it would remove a disturb
ing element and menace to business in the
large accumulation of government moneys
in repositories where ii is. for the time be-
and practically dead for any useful pur-
pose; fourth, it would make the banks, in
stead OF the government. the custodians of
the country's currency under absolutely
safe conditions. and would also make them,
instead of the government. the agents for
the management of monetary crises
Against these strong and practical rea-
sons for abolishing or greatly curtailing
the present system il is believed the only
argument that can be adduced in favor of
continuing ii is that of time The only
reason for maintaining the system for
many years past has been that it was es-
tablished long ago. The American people
are the most progressive of any in their in
diyidual capacity and among the slowest
to adopt improved methods of government
administration. II it We're an original
question to be disposed of in the light of
present knowledge. experience and business
needs nobody would think OF advocating
the subtreasury system. 1t was devised and
adopted more than sixty years ago as a
sort of successor TO the old United States
Bank. and because it was believed TO be
the best system available at that time
The condition of the country and the ne
cessities of business have outgrown those
