THE BANK AND THE GOVERN
MENT.
MENT.
The National Bank Act and Currency

Will IlutlOiidl UdlihS, vi wiz oNS wy
day the word national" used in the
names of banks, do not stop to con-
slider the close relation which exists
between these banks and the govern
ment of the United States There is
a very intimate connection. In fact
Uncle Sam, represented by the sec
rotary of the treasury, and, through
him, by a small army of officials,
keeps his finger on the national bank
ing pulse and acts as guardian and
Inspector of large part of banking
finance.
This stewardship of such large
and important part of Our banking
business is the result of the operation
of what is known as the National
Bank Act, measure which estab-
lished the present national banking
system, and which is of supreme in
terest to every investor
The National Bank Act was one
remedy for the troubled financial con-
ditions which grew out of the Civil
War. 1t was wartime measure,
and its sponsor was Mr.. Salmon P.
Chase, who was secretary of the
treasury under President Lincoln. The
act, approved June 3, 1864, with the
various amendments which congress
has adopted since the first bill was
passed, comprises a book of sixty
seven closely-printed pages. To out
line this act is to explain the whole
plan of national banking.
In the opening paragraph it is
stated that it is can act to provide
national currency secured by pledge
of United States bonds and to pro-
vide for .he circulation and redemp-
ton thereof" This section sets forth
the whole process by which the entire
institution of national banking has
been created. But in the develop
ment and conduct of this system there
are many striking and significant de-
tails
What National Banks Are.
In the first place, there is big diff
ference between national banks and
other banking institutions. A ma
tional bank is chartered by act of con-
gress and is controlled by the con-
troler of the currency, who is the
chief officer of bureau, created by
the National Bank Act, to issue and
regulate the currency of national
banks. Thus the national banks
are under the jurisdiction of the
United States government which has
the right to examine them at any
time, demand reports of their condi-
ton, and close them if the National
Bank Act is violated in any way.
A state bank or trust company,
on the other hand, is chartered by the
state in which it is located and is
under the control of the banking COM
missioner or superintendent of that
state; and is examined by state Of
fcials only.
Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1907-12-21


ton exceeds $4,000 the capital must
not be less than 100000. Fifty per
cent of the stock must be paid up be-
fore the bank can do business. Every
director must be an American citizen,
and at least three-fourths of them
must have resided year in the state
in which the bank is opened.
The National Bank Currency.
Now comes the strongest link with
the government, and the one which
gives national banks their distinctive
function. Every national bank must
deposit with the treasurer of the Unit
ed States registered government
bonds to an extent of not less than
onc-fourth of its capital stock, if the
capital is $4,000 or less. If the
capital is more than this amount there
must be deposit of at least $4,000
in bonds.
This deposit of government bonds
forms the basis of the national bank
currency. Everybody, at one time or
another, has owned or has seen bank
notes bearing the name of national
bank on them. These bills are bank
currency, and have been issued by the
government in exchange for the gov
eminent bonds deposited with the
treasurer. The United States, by the
provisions of the National Bank Act,
must issue the bills, which may be had
in denominations of five, ten, twenty,
fifty, one hundred and one thousand
dollars. The total amount of these
bills secured by any bank cannot ex.
coed the capital stock of the bank
The issue of bills is based on the PAL
value of the bonds deposited. This
means that for 100000 in bonds the
banks get 100000 in currency. The
issue of this currency is under the
direction Of the controller, who is also
the custodian of the bonds deposited.
Why Circulation is Restricted.
Every ational bank having cur.
rency in circulation must keep on de
post in legal tender with the treas
urer of the United States a sum equal
to one-ffth of its circulation for the
purpose of redeeming its currency.
Legal tender means lawful money
of the United States other than ma
tional bank notes, and includes treas
ury notes, gold coins of all denomina-
tons and silver coins.
If national bank wants to with
draw its circulation of currency it can
deposit legal tender covering the
amount and get back the bonds which
have been deposited 1t is also of in
teres. to add that national banks are
required to pay tax of one-half of
one per cent on their circulation. Ma
tional bank notes cannot be part of
the legal reserve. The reserve must
be in legal tender. Thus the national
currency is really circulation.

Government Competitor.

One of the greatest injnstices
practiced by the government is
the fact of the postollice depart
ment printing and selling en-.
velopes, and at u price below the
actual cost 10 the printer of the
raw material.
Then add to the injury the
government dead heads the de-
livery of the goods and charges up
any deficiency, real or imaginary,
to the second class postage ac-
corded TO newspapers.
The dealings of the department
are Unfair, for putting out COM
mercial work is not in line with a
square deal
The only recourse perhaps is
for the country newspapers to
white out "big stick" and get
busy.

HELEN GOULD
BUYS HOMES
FOR THE POOR

When 100, 900 acres of land was
purchased near Greeley, Colorado,
to be subdivided into homes for
poor people from New York tene-
ments, the identity of the philan-
thropist was kept secret. Now It
is disclosed that the buyer was
Miss Helen M. Gould, whose wide
and helpful charities are little I'M
derstood by the public because of
the modesty and reticence with
which she always attempts to con
ceal- her name. Probably no per-
son in this generation, who has
given such large sums to philan-
thropic enterprises, has been so
little of self-advertiser.

way their utterances become

many questions definitely in ac-

body ever knew all there was to
know, and nobody ever will.
Even truth isn't exact at all times,
and there is no use trying to fix
hard and fast rules for anything.
To seek for truth, and to do the
best we can under all circum-
stances, is the most anybody can
do. If every public man would
listen to what his constituents say,
and study what they need, rather
than allow the party spirit to con
troll his actions, the people would
be much better off. There are
some questions wherein every
State ought to be allowed It's own
volition because these questions
interest the people of that State
more than they do those Of any
other State but where question
is national in scope, and in effect,
State lines should be allowed to
interfere with Justice, Thousands
of foolish laws are founded on
foolish customs. It's hard for
the ordinary Individual to break
away from his political or relig-
ious hitching post.
