CREDIT CURRENCY PLAN
Might Haze AUerted Panic, Er-
Governor Herick Believes.
by Telegraph to The Tribune.I

Cleveland, Nov 3.-Ex- Governor Myron T.
Herrick. chairman of the board of the Society
for Savings here. formerly president and now
member of the Credit Currency Commission Of
the American Bankers Association. made pub
lie to-day the figures of what might have been
accomplished in the recent financial upheaval,
which he says was due to a money famine had
the bankers bill been a law.
New York City's national banks could, he
says. have raised $99. 500 $50 in credit currency
based on capital and secured by a % per cent
reserve against issues bearing 3 and per cent
tax. In the crisis the banks OF the reserve cities
could have put out credit currency TO the
amount of $312, ,S93 231 TO carry the peak of
the load" as Mr.. Herrick expressed it, Ex-
planning the bill and telling Of the movement
now under way to obtain its passage at the next
session of Congress- Mr.. Herrick said that credit
currency, SO called. is what the bankers gem
orally have sought since the financial troubles
of 1893, and the bill framed by the commission
attempts TO provide currency which can be
issued in time of stress, and. because heavily
taxed. will be retired as as the bank of
issue has no need Of It. The commission gained
no great attention in its efforts to introduce the
bill and seek votes for it in the last Congress-
Many bankers opposed 1t. but in the Atlantic
City meeting Of the American Bankers Associa-
ton In September an almost unanimous vote
ratified the terms OF the measure and intrusted
to the commission the task Of presenting 1t to
Congress.
Some Of the bankers, particularly in the West.
in the last week have written to Mr. Herrick
suggesting that special session OF Congress be
called to consider the BILL the argument being
that It could be passed easily in the wake Of the
recent upheaval. BY the terms of the bill a
national bank could issue credit currency to an
amount equal to 80 per cent Of its bond secured
circulation. provided that amount did not exceed
20 per cent OF its capital subject to a tax of 8
per cent a year on the average, and another
212 per cent of its capital subject to q 5 per
cent tax. This would give. with sos $50 900
capital in New York, issues of credit In the two
classes OF $26,4S7,5OO and s1S,21s,75o Such a
sum could have been used in the recent crisis
had this law been in effect Mr. Herrick pointed

WORK NEARLYFINISHED
CONMITTEE'S PLAN FOR CEN
TRALIzATIoN OF SCHOOLS

The special committee composed OF Col
John Biddle, Engineer Commissioner OF the
District: James Knox Taylor. supervising
architect OF the United States treasury. and
DR.. william e. Chancellor. superintendent
OF public education, appointed by Congress
for the purpose Of making investigations
and reports relative to the proposed CEN
tralization of public schools in the District
has practically completed its work.
Maj. Biddle. who left Washington last
week with the members of this committee
to visit schools in New York, Massachu-
sets ana Rhode Island, returned to the
city early this morning without completing
his trip, having been called back by the
War Department order relieving him from
duty as Engineer Commissioner. The other
two members Of the committee will finish
the trip Of inspection, as originally planned.
and will return next Monday.
The committee visited Rochester and
Syracuse. N. Springfield. Brookline and
Boston. Mass, and Providence, r. I. On
previous trip they. visited Baltimore, Md !;
New York and Orange, N. J. Almost In
every city visited the committee found that
the public schools are much larger and con-
tain more class rooms than the schools of
Washington. and as Congress has specified
that 1t wants the schools at the national
capital centralized and constructed 50 as
TO accommodate more pupils, large build
ings will be adopted here.
In speaking of the various out-of- town
schools visited by him Col. Biddle stated
today that as far as architecture and equip
ment and other details concerning school
buildings are concerned the modern eight
room school buildings here compare favor
ably with any buildings he has inspected.
He stated that there Is no doubt about the
advantage Of more rooms for school build
ings. and he yentured the remark that
when his committee repOrtN to Congress- II
will recommend that all future school build
tngs in the District be constructed with six
teen rooms instead Of eight, and that
out-of-date schools shall be abandoned.
"One noticeable feature Of the schools in
New York state and in Brookline," said
Col. Biddle, lis that the schools are con-
skirts of the city, which necessitates many
of the attendants travelling long distance
in order to reach school"
