COL. NIELDS HAS
CURRENCY PLAN
Deposit Securities With Gov
ernmeHt, aud Then In
crease Bank Notes

The Wall Street Summary. a lead
ing financial paper Of New York city,
has been gathering expressions from
banking officials and brokers through
out the country as to the most desir-
able currency legislation by Congress
at the present session. Frank d.
Lackey, broker of this city, expresses
himself in favor of a central bank
system, but Colonel Benjamin Nields,
who is president Of the Security Trust
and Safe Deposit Company outlines a
novel method that has attracted much
attention. Colonel Nields writes as
follows:
For the purpose of providing for a
volume of currency that may be in
creased or diminished as the needs Of
the business of the country from time
TO time may require. I favor an
amendment to the National Bank Act.
whereby the National Banks, in addi-
tion totheir fixed capital, may be
authorized to deposit with the United
States Treasury, government, state,
county and municipal bonds or other
securities made legal investments by
state statute, subject, however. to the
approval of the treasurer, to be held as
security for circulating notes. The
volume OF national bank notes may
thereby at any time be increased 10
such an amount as the business Of the
country may need and the volume IN
circulation may be made elastic and
reduced when not need by a return
of notes in excess Of the fixed capital
and the surrender of the bonds held nc
security for the notes returned. An
unnecessary increase for speculative
purposes may be guarded against by
taxation on such increase, the rate Ia
be fixed according to increase.
"The State banking law of New
York prior to the enactment of the
National Bank Act was. as I recollect
it. a statute which provided for an
elastic currency based somewhat or
the method here suggested The plar
I here suggest 1 know is lied with diff
fculties and objections, all of which
can be met and overcome.
"The government so long as it con-
I trolls the issue Of circulating notes
4 should make some provision whereby
| the volume thereof shall not at any
time be Inadequate to the needs of the
/ country.
with respect to the short-tern
/ certificate plan adopted by the gov.
ernment. I doubt the legality Of theil
issue. and in view of the fact that the,
are to be redeemed in twelve months
/ with the payment by the government
/ of S3 600 600 interest thereon. I do no
look with favor uDon their issue"
