sEcRErARY sHAw's CIRCULAR.


1t is difficult to estimate the prac-
teal effects of Secretary Shaw's CTR
cular letter to national bank deposit
tories, admonishing them against loan
ing their surplus funds through brok-
ers and others in New York at such
high rates of interest as imply specu-
lation, and insisting that government
money shall be loaned for legitimate
business uses In the locality where 1t
is deposited, but the secretary's OFF,
cial action is, sentimentally, distinctly
beneficial and consistent with the cor
rect line of deposit policy which the
treasury has been following for a
series of years. The purpose of that
policy Is to separate government sur
plus cash, when turned over to banks,
from stock jobbing and speculative ex-
ploitation.
Secretary Shaw accordingly began
several years ago, over the angry pro-
test of stock jobbing interests in New
York, to encourage the distribution
lions of the country. instead of heap
ing them up in New York and nearby
centers as the immemorial custom had
been. While large portion of the
deposits have thus been distributed,
and have been a considerable accom-
mediation to local business, 1t is never
theless we'll known that they quickly
found the way to New York when call
rates ruled high, those rates of course
marking the exigencies of speculation.
In effect, therefore. the change Of
policy has been to considerable ex-
tent a change from a direct to a cir
cuitous route which the deposits took
to New York, where they played the
old part with reference to speculation.
The secretary's circular is merely an
attempt to use the governments In
fiuence to stop the evasion OF the CEN
trail purpose of Its system.
OF course, when call rates In New
York or anywhere else rise to extrava-
CANT levels, whether II be due to specu-
lation or not. so as to assure much
greater profits on loans there. avail
able funds will precipitately move
thither from all over the country. II
1t we're possible to prevent national
bank repositories from directly shar-
ing in such profit, 1t would accentuate
the stress In New York in such a time
as the present While this might cor
respondingly push the call rate higher,
thus enhancing the temptation Of
country lenders to rush funds to Wall
street. 1t would also tend in the long
run to accelerate other remedies
through gold importation, forced liqui-
dation of speculation, etc.
Such is doubtless the real expecta-
ton of the secretary at this time. 1t
is within his discretion to recall de-
posts from any interior national bank
II he should become aware that 1t was
denying their use to the hurt of local
business In order 10 fish in the specu-
lative maelstrom of New York. and
this power may have deterrent ef-
feet. A stringent call rate is not neees-
sarily an evil. but rather the danger
signal that points the right course 70

on the right track in using It's infiu-

Illinois new primary law will have
to run the gauntlet of litigation in the
courts brought to test its constitution
atty. The contentious of those who
oppose 1t are that 1t entails an un-
necessary and unlawful waste Of public
funds, that 1t prevents the voter who
has voted for nominees of one political
party one year from helping to NOM
mate the candidates of another party
the same year, thus denying him the
right to change his mind, and also that
1t discriminates unjustly by compelling
registration as a prerequisite to par
ticipation in the primary election. All
these objections were urged to the
Australian ballot law when 1t was in
troduced in this country and to most Of
the other election reforms that have
been accomplished from time to time,
and the courts will doubtless dispose
Of them again in this connection in
due course.

YELLOW WORK IN NEW YORK.


If the Speer machie had knuckled
to Patterson in Colorado then the yell
low boss of Welton street would have
been in the same position as the
prince OF yellow journalists" in New
York and he would have been the
king pin. And it was not Patterson's
fault that the Hearst-Murphy mesal-
lance failed of reproduction in this
city.
In New York the yellow journalist
politician pounded the boss Of the
Tammany machine until he beat him
down and gained an alliance with
him. Now, according to the reform
ers," Boss Murphy is an angel with
wings beginning to sprout. A year
ago he was all that was detestable.
If Mayor Speer had been weak
enough or corrupt enough to bow the
knee to Patterson and join with him
in an exploitation of the state, Colo
RADIO would have been remarkably
close imitator of the Empire state i;
but he didn't and he has not changed
his spots.
