Central Bank Of Issue.

be best accomplishment fact, they can
only be satisfa ctorily accomplished
through the establishment by the govern
ment of central bank of issue and re-
serve This Is the system which has been
adopted and found to work most salts
factorily in the great commercial coun-
tries OF Europe and is the one that gives
.i surest promise OF satisfactory opera
ton in this country.
Such bank would not only solve the
two great problems of our banking sys-
tenn. but 1t would also provide the ma
chinery Tor conducting the Treasury oper-
atoms in their relations to the banks with
the least disturbance
.The chief weakness of our present ma
tional banking system is the provision in
regard to reserve deposits which piles re-
serve on. reserve, in reserve cities and
sufficient amount of actual cash reserve
on hand. AS We have seen in the present
Crisis, when real emergency arises these
reserves are not reserves at all, b. cause
they may In day become unavailable
Is it any wonder that the demand in the
fall for about 500, OOO. GOO in currency for
crop moving always makes a disturbance
and that when this demand was accom-
panied by withdrawal of deposits and a
curtailment of credits, caused by un-
easiness and distrust, the banks were
forced in self-defense to partially sus-
pend payments. adopt clearing house GER
tifcateS, and various other expedients to
furnish currency to meet such an emer-
gency?
Bank Deposit Credits.
The only way in which bank deposit
credits can be properly protected from
sudden and unexpected calls. when all
may be involved al the same time, is by a
system of note credits which can be at
any time Immediately exchanged for the
deposit credits. They are essentially the
same thing. and should be, daily and
hourly II necessary. convertible from one
to the other. at the option of the creditor
who is the depositor or noteholder The
bank of issue should be required and must
in self-defense, keep the same reserves
against notes as against deposits Our
bond secured bank notes offer no help to
bank in any sudden call for deposits
From their very nature they are fixed
currency.
The present bank note circulation can
be best improved and made elastic by
permitting the banks to issue a fixed
percentage of their note-secured circula-
ton or capital in notes uncovered by
bond deposits. If. against these notes,
banks are required to carry the same
reserve as against deposits. 1t will pre-
