TO FORM LEAGUE
OF INLAND BANKS
MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO START
STRONG ORGANIZATION IN
CLUDES WALLA WALLA.

Banks OF the Inland Empire are
tage of the emergency currency law
recently passed by congress permit
ting them to secure the issue OF paper
money during times of panic.
The movement is being started by
the Spokane Clearing House associa-
ton, and while there are not enough
banks in that city alone to organize
under the emergency law, the head
quarters of the organization will be
there.
All of the banks in the clearing as
ISOLATION are interested and will join
the new organization. In case of
money stringency or at any time the
organization may wish 70 do so they
may, under the new law, issue paper
money the same as the government
now has in circulation instead Of is
suing clearing house checks, which
will not be universally accepted.
Under the Vreeland law national
banking associations, each having an
unimpaired capital and a surplus of
not less than 20 per cent, not less than
10 in number, having an aggregate
capital and surplus of at least $5,O0O,-
900, may form voluntary associations,
to be designated as national currency
associations.
Covers Large Field.
Not more than one association Is
allowed in each city, and where the
city is too small to furnish all of the
banks, as is the condition in Spokane,
banks in the territory adjacent may
be taken into the association. The or
sanization may practically take In
eastern Washington, northern Idaho,
and western. Montana. Letters have
been received by local banks from
the Spokane Clearing association sug-
costing the organization of the cur
rency association, and it is expected
a meeting will be called in this city
of the banks interested when suffi-
Gent have Endorsed the movement 10
make it a success.
How They Get the Money.
For the purpose of obtaining addi-
tional circulation and national cur-
rency association or any bank belong
ing to the National Currency associa-
ton having circulating notes out
standing secured by the deposit Of
bonds Of the United States to an
amount not less than 20 per cent may
deposit with and transfer to the assoc
citation, in trust for the United States.
such of these securities as may be sat
isfactOry to the board of the associa-
ton. The officers may thereupon MAKE
application to w. B. RidgeIy, comp
troller of the currency, for an issue of
the cash value of the securities Or
commercial paper so deposited.
The. comptroller notifies the secre-
tary Of the treasury and if in his
Judgment business conditions in the
locality demand additional circulation
he may direct an issue of circulating
notes to the association to an amount
in his discretion, not, however. ex-
ceeding IS per cent of the cash value
of the securities deposited
The matter has just been taken I'M
der consideration by the local banks
and no decision has been reached con-
corning membership in the new organ
1zation. However, Walla Walla being
one of the strongest banking towns in
the northwest, there is no doubt that
strong effort will be made to enlisf
her in the movement.

Senator Plat is IS.

NEW YORK, July 15.-Thoma $
Cillier Plat, United States senator
from New York is today Is years Of
age. Little attention was raid to the
aged solon by the present day leaders
of the party of which Platt was cree
one of the national lea1ers. Although
strinned of much of his political power
and harassed by domestic entangi@-
ments the senator is far from oelng
the broken old man that he il some
times described to be. While the
weight of years rests somewhat heavily
IN his physical frame, his mind l.
still clear and active.

around town leave their teams backed
up against the curbing without turn
