Indians, of whom there were many

Tribal tales of the ancient activities

NJ 'CLUNG WANTS
SANITARY MONEY
Il His Report He Asks for Fa-
: Cilities to Exchange New
- Money for Old Money
PUBLIC TO SHARE EXPENSE
The Demand Has Been Good for
One and Two Dollars for
the Past Year.

Washington-Lee McClung, treas
urer of the United States, wants to
see sanitary currency. In his an
nual report he recommends that the
government increase its facilities for
exchanging worn and dirty bins for
crisp, new ones, and suggests that the
public might be willing to share the
expense of doing so.
Treasurer McClung makes a radi-
cal recommendation that the national
banks be obliged to deposit an addi-
tional per cent. redemption fund for
these notes early in January each
year, in addition to the 5 per cent
now required all the year round. He
declares that during January, April.
May and June and July the regular 5
per cent. fund is not enough because
of the drains upon it. Consequently
the treasury has to advance money
for the banks.
Such advances are taken up again
when the redemptions ease off. AS
the notes are obligations of the banks
and not the government, Mr. Nc
Clung recommends that the banks be
required to deposit more money to
cover them.
The balance of the report is devoted
to complete review of the finances
of the United States treasury during
the fiscal year 1910, which closed on
June 80.
During the year the government
took in from ordinary sources $685.
511,715, the largest sum in its history.
The revised estimates placed the total
stock of money of the United States
in existence at $3,419 ,591 ,483, of which
more than $1.50O000,000 was in gold.
Nearly all the stock was in circula-
ton. The close of the year saw lit
tie more than $3,000,000,OO0 in use
The demand for small denomina-
tions of paper money was evident all
through the year, which is taken to
indicate an unusual activity of money
in circulation Very nearly 100000
600 pieces of paper currency were
used and more than 200,000,000 were
redeemed at the treasury. Their face
value was $1,703, ,406,SS5.
