MACvEAGH SUGGESTS
 GENERAL REFORMS
Secretary of Treasury Sub
 mits His Annual Report
METHODS OUT OF DATE
Macyeagh Recommends Wider Scope In the Ranking Laws and Business Methods for Every Depart
 mept of Government

Washington, December S.-Currency re- form extension of the scope of the na- tional banking laws. in the event of no immediate change of the monetary sys- tenn; civil service retirements; a GUS toms service free from practical poli- tics; business-like methods in the daily transactions of the government and general abolition of red tape wherever it clogs the wheels of the governments business. are among the recommenda- tions contained in the annual report of Franklin MacYeagh, Secretary of the Treasury, presented to Congress today.
 The expenses of government In the fis- cal year 1912, for which this session of Congress is asked to appropriate, are estimated at s690, 94,o13.12. The estimated expenditures on the Panama canal are given as s56, ,92O, ,S47.69 making total of SeS7, ,44,s6O.SI The estimates. if carried out represent net savings of about $16,- 000,OO0 in the executive departments. as compared with the appropriations for the current fiscal year.
 While the secretary's report estimates the total expenses of the government of S6S1 ,S60 the estimates which have been transmitted to Congress ask for $74S, 414,-
 
 SCI, a difference of $61, ,000,OO0. Congress Is asked 10 appropriate this extra s61,o00,0Co to make the sinking fund lew effective. It would be an appropriation to permit the treasury to begin applying 1 per cent a year to the discharge of the national debt. The law authorizing such proce- dure has been a dead letter for some time. as Congress has never appropriat- ed any money.
 Receipts and Expenditures
 Receipts for 1912, Secretary MacVeagh estimates, will be s6so.00000o, which would leave an ordinary surplus of around s5o,- OOOO00. If the treasury should continue to pay for the Panama canal out of the cash drawer. as at present. such a sur plus would be turned to deficit of s7.41t,- S60.S1
 Secretary MacVeagh expresses the hope that the monetary question will come into Congress detached from sectional or political considerations.
 Our system can fairly be called panic breeding system,' he says. where

ds every other great national banking and currency system is panic-preyenting. As long as we continue under our pres ent system we are liable to panics and the devastations of panlcs reach repub hcans and democrats and all parts of the country alike. Panlcs are no longer necessary and no longer respectable. It IS Tor the government to say whether We shall have panics in the future or not. It is mere matter of choice.
 We have no system of reserves; our nanking system destroys them. It con centrates in New York what are pretend ed to be reserves, and then forces the New York banks to lend and abolish them. Our system, instead of building up a reserve, destroys it as fast as it in- clines to accumulate.''
 Banking system
 In connection with his criticism of the money system, one of Secretary Mac Veaghs most important recommenda- tions concerns future issues of Panama bonds of which s29o,000,000 were author ized by the tariff act. The secretary re- news the recommendations he made last year for legislation to tax the new bonds at l # per cent if used by national banks for circulation, and intimates, as was an- nounced in news dispatches a few days ago, that it might be more preferable to issue the new securities for investment purposes only at rate of per cent.
 As check against the use of the bonds as the basis for further imitation of the national bank currency he suggests that a circulation tax of even per cent would have the effect of making them unprofit- able for banks to use for such a purpose and at the same time would make them attractive to investors without injuring the per cent bonds of which more than S700. .000000 are outstanding. Another means of accomplishing the same end, the secretary suggests, would be for Con- gress to authorize an issue of s50,0O00oo or $100.000,000 of the bonds at per cent without the circulation privilege
 International Finance
 If there is no prospect of immediate change in the monetary system the secre- tary thinks the American national bank ing system should be developed to per form an international function. There Is a clear need of banking facilities in for eign countries where there is American commerce, he says.
 We shall never be a full-fedged com mercial nation, he says, unless we have merchant ships of our own and foreign banks of our own. We should have banks at all ports that are important to our commerce.
 The treasurys relations with the busl- ness communities are unbusiness-like, artificial and burdensome, the secretary declares, and he recommends legislation to permit the payment of revenue to the government by certified check guarding the government against loss.
