SEES WAY TO REGAIN CONFIDENCE
Stress Laid on Plan to Have Banks Create
Fund to Insure Depositors.

To tho Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In to-day's issue you publish tho views OF
one OF our Western Congressman. who believes as
I do. that national banks paying into the United
States Treasury a certain small per cent semi
annually to create fund for paying the depostors
of failed banks would do away with all such con-
ditions as exist.
II is not a lack OF currency, but lack OF con-
fidence that brings about the present unsatisfac-
tory condition-when some arc boarding cash and
those that have 1t are hanging on to it for dear
life.
No one could suggest a plan whereby could
have a currency elastic enough to give all we
need now We have nearly four times as much
currency per capita England, but confidence Is
lacking and the question is how to recover our
former belief in the stability of our financial in
sttutlons.
II the national banks paid into the United
States Treasury and the state banks into the
state treasury fund to be used TO pay or the de-
postors OF failed banks every one would know
that money was safer In the banks than In any
other place. and would not draw 1t out. no
matter how badly business conditions might be
generally. and we would need less currency than
is now issued, for there would be more business
done through the banks than ever. Cash would
not be boarded and large share Of the one billion
dollars now held out OF circulation nearly all the
time would into use again
With depositors secured. the government funds
could be deposited in tho banks without special
security, and thus add more to circulation and
have government business uuIlo do IL ~
not according to methods in use many years ago.
when cash was required and checks and exchange
were little known used.
This plan would be much better than a central
bank, which is against the spirit of our people.
for all parts of the country would be better served
one bank would be good as another funds
would stay more closely at home. and pohtlcs
would not enter in. might be the case with
central bank.
This plan is so simple that people VIII not give
Il the thought it deserves. and some theoretical
form of currency will be recommended based on
that in use in some country where business meth
ods and conditions are absolutely different from
o,,rs This nlan Is not theoretical enough for
the city bankers. but the country bankers can see
that IL will help absolutely now and IN the future
as well. "

SUGGESTS BANKING LAW CHANGES.
Would Exchange Government Bonds at Par
for Glass "a" Treasury Notes.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: To prevent excessive fluctuations in interest
rates and to secure stability in rates OF discount
l would like to submit for consideration the fol-
lowing amendments TO banking laws:
Ffrst-Authorize the issue of Glass "A" Treasury
notes to the holders of any series of government
bonds to the par face value of the bonds, upon
the deposit OF said bonds with the Secretary of
the Treasury, the deposit to be for period of not
less than thirty days. interest said bonds dur
ing the time of deposit revert to the govern
ment; Treasury notes Class "A' to be full legal
tender.
at any time after thirty days upon payment to the
Secretary of the Treasury OF their face value in
Treasury notes Glass "a" together with interest
accrued during period of deposit.
Third-Authorize national banks to hold any part
Of their % per legal against deposits
in government bonds, inasmuch as said govern
ment bonds will be exchangeabe for Treasury
notes Glass "a upon demand and may therefore
be counted as cash.
The first point to be considered In any change
in our currency laws would seem to be the abso-
Lutte and unquestioned value of the security behind
the new issue This is fully covered in the issue of
these Glass "a" Treasury notes, inasmuch as gov
ernment bonds are behind every note so Issued.
The question Of security having been eliminated
the question of elasticity must be considered. II
can readily be seen that any material advance IN
rates would result in the holders OF government
bonds depositing them ard securing legal tenders
thus increasing the currency ana preventing eNSeS-
sive rates.
The third amendment. authorizing national banks
to hold their 25 per cent legal reserve in govern
ment bonds. would Immediately release large sum
OF money approximately S250OO0.OOO from banks in
the New York Clearing House alone); would result
in an expansion of the currency very much TO be
desired If can done with safety. and would at
the same time enable the city banks TO obtain some
interest on their reserve. which they now have to
hold without interest, at the same time paying in
teres to the country banks upon the entire amount
of their deposits.
The ideas above respectfully submitted for
consideration. The writer would urge that the So
called asset currency proposition be not seri-
ously considered. inasmuch the basis OF any
currency system must be confidence, absolute con-
fdence. Unfortunately confidence is a plant of
very growth. and the failure OF four or five
banks simultaneously might result in a widespread
panic II asset currency is adopted, whereas with
a government bond behind every note confidence
would not be shaken. The security Of the currency
should not be sacrificed either to elasticity or ex-
pansiou NJ K. DE AGUERO.

BLAME THE NEW YORK BANKS.
But Crop Movement Delay Not Due to I'm
Willingness to Repay Loans.
~ Az Icdifnr of The Trihnne

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The papers of the South and West have
been of late in editorial and news article, blam-
ing the currency stringency in their home towns on
the unwillingness of the New York banks to repay
10 the interior the money that IS owed. This is a
complete perversion of facts. In normal times the
interior banks create credit balances in New York
by redscounting their domestic paper Against
these balances they draw currency to be utilized in
moving crops. The movement of crops this year
IS rather late. partly brought by holding for
high prices-vide the bull speculation, just col
apsng in wheat-and the Farmers Union in the
South holding cotton for a 15-cent price. The
New York banks have been fearing a recession
for some time. have been trying to strengthen
themselves and have scrutinized the paper offered
them very closely. In addition, they have been
restricted by the unwilIingness OF European capi-
tai to offer itself. AS result OF this contraction
of credit the country banks had only small bal
ances here when the recent crisis occurred and
were unable to increase their loans. for New York
dared not increase its liabilities by the creation
of fresh credits What the interior banks had they
withdrew in great measure on the hrst sign OF
panic and up to the day upon which Clearing
House certificates resolved on New York re-
mtted currency freely. Since that time the re-
quirements of the interior have been filled as am
ply possible and every customer has had fair
proportion OF his requests for currency granted
At present New York does not owe money to the
Interior but the interior is, the contrary in
New Yorks debt
The crops on which the interior centres rely to
strengthen their accounts not moving freely
and in consequence they have practically debit
balance with New York Throughout the South
and West New York exchange. usually at a dis
count at this seaeson, is at extraordinary pre-
MUM. A notable example is at Chicago-the COM
mercial centre of the farming regions. 1t costs
about so cents $1,000 to ship currency from Chi
cago to New York. Last week. with currency at
the premium in both cities, New York ex-
change from 81 to IS premium ST. 900 in Chi
cago In other words. the Chicago banks were
willing to pay y of I per cent to avoid shipping
in currency the money they owed New York This
is recognized by the bankers in the larger cities.

ing House certificates practically every city of

YOUNG MRS. AsroR,s SWANS.

Young Mrs Astor has. learn, recently been en-
gagged in a controversy with the conservators Of
the Thames in connection with her desire TO keep
swans. a bird which she greatly admires. Only
the sovereign and the winners and dyers' COM
panes, or guilds, Of the City of London are allowed
TO own swans the River Thames, and the mon
arch and the two guilds in question exceedingly
Jealous of their rights In fact, according to laws
which have been in existence for four hundred
years. every swan which IS found which does not
bear the mark on its bill Of either the Crown or
OF one OF the two companies becomes ipso facto
the property of the sovereign. and is marked as
such. This restriction with regard TO the possess
sion of by private people in England by
means limited 20 the Thames. No save
the sovereign is allowed TO have swans on any OF
the other navgable rivers. But swans are per-
mitted lakes and unnavigable streams. after H.
