WANTS VARYING RESERVE
Secretary Shaw Advocates Fluctu-
ating Fund for Banks.
Elasticity Could be Secured by Per-
mfttfng Smaller Reserves
in Winter.

Louisville, Ky, Oct. l0-H0n Leslie
NJ. Shaw. Secretary of the Treasury, ad-
dressed the members of the Kentucky
State Bankers Association this after
noon. lie advocated "a hucyuating reserve
fund, and among other things he said:
THE amount Of reserve TO be carried by
national banks is now fixed by statute.
/ think this should be left with the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury to determine from
time to time and as the eXigencies of the
case require. Evidently it was not the
intention of Congress that this reserve
should never be eucroached upon. If the
statute required the Secretary Of the
Treasury 10 keep a reserve Of ten tons Of
coal in the Treasury Building no one
would be foolish enough to criuc!se its
use IN case of a prolonged railway block
adc
In my opinion. it would be both wise
and safe 10 clothe the Secretary of the
Treasury with authority to require banks
TO increase their reserve at certain times
when money is redundant, and TO ex-
pressly permit the maintenance Of a
somewhat lower reserve al other times.
Money Is frequently dangerously plentiful
i'm summer and dangerously scarce I'm the
fan and winter Speculation Is encourag ged
by low rates of interest
If this additional authority were grant
ed, the reserve of tire country could De-
increased iu midsUmmer from S50.008 go to
100000 without affecting business IN
any way. and la the faH and winter the
ordinary reserve could be decreased, and
i'm This praE Vs-y marked clement AZ
elasticity would be provided.
"If the people can be brought TO recOg-
uize the Treasury somewhat in the ma
