CROPS FORCE ISSUE
Money to Move Fall Harvest
Demanded by Banks.
TREASURY NOT ABLE TO HELP
Secretary MacVeaRh Said 10 Have
Discussed Situation with President
Taft Yesterday at BeverIy-Finan-
ciaI Installations May Compel De-
partmcnt 90 Issue Certificates.

One OF the important questions which
Secretary Of the Treasury MacVeagh Is
said TO have discussed yesterday with the
President ar Beverly was how TO provide
the money with which to move the crops
OF the country this fall. It is an annually
returning question. but this year It is
more than usually interesting. because It
involves something OF a fight between the
national banks and the Treasury Depart
meat
The banks are trying to force the de-
partment to bear all Of the expense Of
furnishing the currency needed for crop
moving purposes Every fail there is a
tremendous demand on the banks for
money to get the wheat. corn. oats.
&C. 10 market, and heretofore the Treas
ury has come TO their assistance by Civ
ing them deposits Of public money which
could be returned after the rush was
over. But the department Is not in a po-
sition this year TO give the banks help In
this way to the extent desired. The ques-
ton IS, therefore, how IS the money TO
be supplied, and II Is a problem that is
daily becoming more pressing.
Under the emergency currency law the
national banks can Issue currency up 10
the amount OF S50Q.000,Q0Q 20 meet Just
such occasions as these. But they would

Treasury as security for the amount of
currency issued and the transaction
would involve some expense TO each bank.
The currency IS already printed and could
be- issued upon application without de-
lay.
May Compel Issuance.
But the banks think they know a trick
better than that Instead Of attempting
TO take out the emergency currency au-
thorized by law. they are endeavOring 10
create such situation as will compel
Secretary MacVeagh TO issue Treasury
certificates Of Indebtedness. which pay s
per cent interest They want the depart
ment to issue about SlO0OoO.OO0 Of these
certificates
The banks could deposit these and issue
circulation against them the same as
against government bonds, and d1ring
the year they were outstanding they
would be earning that per cent, where
as the emergency currency would. OF
course. pay no interest at all. The trans
action would cost the government 5000.
90 in interest. and would save the banks
practically all expense.
There is no way Of compelling the banks
10 take out emergency currency, and II
they persist IN their present attitude, the
chances are there will be a serious mon
ey stringency within the next month or
two. which the Treasury viii have 10 re-
lieve in some fashion.
The situation Is bothering Secretary
MacVeagh 10 some extent, and he went
to Beverly more 10 telk this matter over
with the President than to report his
difficulty in finding tariff experts.
