TWO DIRECTORY BOARDS
Officials Are to be Appointed For Life
In Order to do Away With
Any Political Fea-
tures.

WASHINGTON, Oct. although
the plan has not yet been worked out
in all Of its detail, it is now possible
to give an outline of the general
scheme of the proposed Central bank
of the United States, the establish.
ment of which will be recommended
by the monetary commission Of con-
gress. According to information so
far, it is expected it will be essential
ly bankers bank, or agency to do
business with other banks. 1t is not
to receive deposits from the public or
do any general banking business. It's
main function will be to act as the
fiscal agent of the government and to
come to the aid of other banks in
times of emergency. The stockholders
are to elect a board of directors by
districts. In this way, it is believed
every section of the country would
have representative of its own
choosing on the board. There is also
to be another board composed of gov
ernment directors of which the leading
officials of the treasury are to be mem
bers. designated by the president,
comptroller of currency and the treas
ury The active officers are to be
selected for life. The purpose of this
provision is to eliminate politics as
far as possible and to afford safe
guard to prevent any syndicate or
Clique to obtain control. The two
boards are, to cooperate in the man
agement of the bank, jointly deciding
questions Of policy, etc. All govern
ment monies are to go into this bank
i and it is to make government disburse
ments. No loans are to be made, or
discounts effected on bonds or stocks
real estate mortgages or any specu
lative security. The operation c. the
sank is to be confined strictly to the
commercial field, handling paper
based on staple commodities.
