FINANCI[R PLEADS
FOR CENTRAL BANK
Says 1t Is the Most Logical
Solution of the COuntry's
Financial Problem
BY E. w. WILSON,
vice President American national Bank

Vice President American National Bank
A central bank seems to be the most
promising solution of the financial
problems now current in America.
Such a bank. if properly organized and
conducted, would be the balance wheel
now lacking in our banking system.
to coordinate the different parts which
at present it must be confessed, are
sometimes found working at cross pur-
poses.
Chiefly. the bank would put an end
to the practice OF boarding by banks
in time of panic, by making such prac-
tice Improbable and unnecessary. II
would obviate the annually recurrent
tightness of money by providing a
more elastic circulation, which would
relieve the pressure for funds upon
the banks in central reserve cities.
BY giving to the central bank ex-
clusively the note issuing privilege now
enjoyed by the rational banks, step
would be taken toward relieving the
country of the present unwieldy, il
logical and inelastic bond secured cur
rency. This could not be done all at
once, but ultimately the paper money
issued should be based upon commer-
cial paper representing actual business
transactions between solvent creditors,
so that when the paper was extin-
guished the currency would be auto
matically retired.
The danger of political domination
is the most serious obstacle In the
way of a central bank This might
be obviated by disposing of the stock
by popular subscription, with restric-
tions as to ownership by banks. The
government should not be in actual
control, but should have voice In the
management of the bank
