Secretary Explains the Matter.

''They are not as desirable as securi-
ty for circulation, for the reason that
circulation based thereon is taxable at
l per cent. while circulation based on
the per cent. consols is taxable at
only II of l per cent. The banks cam
not obtain except by purchase any
bonds as Il basis for circulation, be-
cause when deposited for circulation
they cannot be released until the cir
culation is retired. and 1t may take
year before the circulation can be re-
tired and price of bonds is SO high that
bank circulation is maintained at con-
siderable loss to the banks They must
be encouraged for circulation constant
ly contracts. Therefore. the depart
ment has decided to release-fOr such
banks as have deposits and are not
maintaining their limit of circula tion

the government, taking in lieu thereof
other satisfactory security. on condi-
tion always that the bonds released
will be used for the immediate issue
of additional circulation
