clared o. K.

OF all the half-baked stories which
have disturbed business public and about
the most ill-advised il that to the effect
that checks for less than one dollar viii
be illegal after the first Of January.
Quite q few Americans not belonging
to the John D. Rockefeller class have
been in the habit of writing checks for
less than dollar rather than for more.
And to have cold hearted government
come along and decree that they should
do so no longer stirred them nightly.
It looked like another case Of the tri-
umph of vested interest and somebody
or other.
But if you are one of those who write
small checks, be disturbed no longer.
You may continue writing them until
you and your grocer and candlestick
maker are amply satisfied. The much
assailed legislation which has heralded
as putting an end to small checks did
nothing of the sort. 1t only furnished
excuse for some person to get up a
scare on insufficient investigation.
This person read through the codifi-
cation of the criminal code and found
a section like this:
mo person shall make, issue, circu-
late or pay out any note, check, token
or other obligation for less sum than
one dollar, intended to circulate as
money or to be received or used in lieu
Of lawful money Of the United States,
and every person so offending shall be
fined not more than $500 or imprisoned
not more than six months, or both, at
the discretion of the court.
This paragraph was at the very end
Of the new code, Immediately preceding
the clause which said that the code
would take effect Jan. l. 1909. With
out further investigation and without
securing an Interpretation of the clause
the responsible party forthwith sent
forth the disturbing story.
''The language of this clause in the
new criminal CODE" Thomas P. Kane
deputy comptroller of the currency, it
is quoted as saying, . is identical with
a statute enacted in 1862, which has
never been construed to prohibit the
issuance of checks for less than dol
lar. The old statute was enacted at
time when Uncle Sam, needing help for
the treasury, was authorized the use of
postage stamps as money.
I" Then fractional currency was ex-
ceedingly rare, and merchants were put
ting out due bills, for instance, stating
that they were good for fifty or any
other number of cents in trade on such
and such store. Now if possible stamps
were to become the fractional curren-
cy, to the governments advantage, it
was necessary that due bills and every
thing of that sort which was to be cir
culated as money should be retired from
circulation.

/. That was the purpose Of the law.
and It served it, purpose very well in
the early days Of the war. The work
which progress did with the criminal
statues was simply to codify them. II
found this old statue and adopted II YER
batim - part Of the new criminal code.
"A bank check Il an order on . bank
er to pay particular sum Of money.
1t Is not designed to be put in circula-
ton as an substitute for money. There
is no conflict with ancient law in issuing
checks for any amount however small.
This has been the construction placed
from the passage Of this act in 1892
down to the present moment. )"
