COUNTRY'S BUSINESS TAXING BANKS


New York, Sept. 3O-Secretary Of
the Treasury Shaw, who was in New
York last night, has issued a state
ment in which he says that the banks
will hereafter nots,be required to
carry a reserve against government
deposits secured by government
bonds. This will make available to-
day over $3O,OOO,OOO.
Secretary Shaw declined to discuss
the financial situation further than
to say that the treasury department
would cooperate as far as possible
with the banks in their effort to sup
ply the necessary credit to do the
Unprecedented amount Of business
that is taxing railroads and steam
ship lines as well as banks to the ut
most. He said he had never seen any
good reason why banks holding q
government deposit secured by gov
eminent bonds should be required to
carry reserve against it. First, it
is q deposit not likely to be called
in time Of stringency, and, second,
If called the collateral will always
sell for cash in excess of the deposit.
