RUBBER CURRENCY
CALLS OUT TALK
How Taxable Emergency Issues
May Be Made to Work in
Cases of Need. f.,
Secretary Shaw Would Have
First Issues Pay 5 Per Cent
Instead of 212.
BY w. w. Jermane, Colorado Building,
Washington, p. c. g. - :


Washington, Nov. 17.-Financial ex-
perts say that currency reform will be
one of the subjects, Of legislation at
the coming short session of congress.
President Roosevelt will make strong
recommendation for such legislation,
and Representatives Of the National
Bankers association and of commercial
organizations will be here with their
plan of reform. . -.
The conference in, this city between
the committee. of the National Bank
ers association and the New York
Chamber of Commerce promises to re-
suit in. an agreement, but it remains to
convince congress that their plan will
produce an. elastic currency.
All are agreed that the medium of
elasticity must be national bank notes.
But there is sudden stop in the ac-
cord when this is said. How and when
tional supply of national bank notes is
to be issued are the details over which
there has been much contention among
the bankers, and WHICH will probably
be discussed at length in committee and
on the floor of the two houses of con-
gross. 49,. e..
''Asset Currency Under New Name.
,.a AS long ago as 1902 in his annsa
/ controller of the currency, recommended
4 legislation permitting an issue of
\ credit' currency by national banks
4 IN the discussion Of the subject this
l Is often called "asset' currency, but
| the latter has a frightful sound to the
| average bank depositor, as it in some
1 Fashion conveys to him an impress
! sion that his deposit, small or large,
and which forms part of the assets
w ho
notes would be based, is in danger of
being swallowed up in some way. So
now all the financial experts call the
( proposed emergency issue Hcredit -
currency. It does not sound SO terrible
to the ear of the layman, but really
means the same, thing as the much
discussed Hasset' currency. :: = :
A 90: Taxable Emergency Issues.
Controller Ridgely, four years ago,
pointed out the need for making. the
currency system, more elastic, and urged
I congress to permit banks to issue ener-
gency notes, in addition to the issue
based on bonds deposited in the treas
ury,, up to q certain percentage Of the
capital, such emergency issue to be sub
Ject to graded tax. Thus, ASSUMING g
that bank s issue Of notes secured
by.. bonds equals per cent Of its cap-
ital, and the bank wanted to issue cred
1t notes for, % per, cent, more of it's
capital, it was to be taxed l per cent
on the first per cent issued, per cent
on the next 5 per cent issued, 8 per
cent on the next per cent issued, and
per cent for the next 10 per cent is
sued. *. .'' -
