THE INFORMAL JOINT SESSION
SHOULD BE GIVEN A TRIAL.

Unless some one has a>more CT
iective plan for bringing about an
agreement between the two branches
of the city council on the budget Tor
the coming fiscal year. IT would seem
that the presidents might do well 10
adopt the suggestion made by THIS
paper last week. that joint informal
meeting of the members OF the COM
mon council and board of aldermen
be held for the purpose of discussing
in friendly and unrestricted fashion
the points of difference. Even though
such session does no good, surely
no harm will be done, and il may be
that a solution of the troublesome
problem will be found.
A joint session for this purpose
would have TO be wholly informal, and
any action taken would net be bind
ing upon either of the branches. But
the gathering would be held with the
hope that an agreement upon all dit-
ferences might be reached by the ne
cessary three-fourths of the members
of each of the branches.
As the matter now stands, the
branches are about as far apart as
they can well get. The budget as
originally reported by the finance
committee has been held up in the
lower branch for several months.
pending action on the retrenchment
program. The report OF the special
retrenchmcnt committee, except for
the police department item. has been
acted upon by the common council,
which amended nearly every section.
All OF the retrenchment ordinances
adopted BY the common council have
been tabled by the board, and hall
of the members Ct the latter body
have made IL plain that they have no
intention of voting to concur in the
measures. And the situation has
been complicated further by an an
nouncement by the chairman of the
finsnce committee that there Is ST.
eco in the treasury that was not
taken into consideration by either The
finance committee or the retrench-
ment committee.
Under all the circumstances Il is
hardly 4 be expected tina; the
branches viii get together in the or
binary way without several special
meetings Of both bodies during the
next month. The joint informal meet.
ing might settle the problem with
more dispatch and with more salts

half a dozen special separate sessions

On One Point Unanimous.
There seems to be a unanimity OF
opinion that the double quarantine
should be abolished, and the local
quarantine officers are outspoken and
generous in their statement that
their Office shall not obstruct in
juriOusly this port and its shipping.
These officers are convinced of the
aiyisabiiity of the maintenance of d
proper equipment for local or State
quarantine. Upon the establishment
of such quarantine. the national gov.

CENTRAL BANK Of SWITZERLAND AND
WHY t BECAME 4 NECESSITY
The Banks Gould Never Work Satisfactorily Under Other
Measures of Relief Proposed and There Was Al
ways FURRY in the Money Market Central
Bank the Remedy.

Washington, D. c. March 16.-One OF
the most important of the monographs
which are being submitted to congress
bv the National Monetary commission
is that or the Swiss banking law, by
Dr. Julius Landmann. which has just
been made public. Doctor Landmann
has made a lifelong study of the Swiss
banking system, and a considera part OF
the work now made public is an Eng
lish translation and was prepared Tor
various European reviews, without rel
erence TO American conditions.
1t is the story of unsuccessful expert
ments, which were finally abandoned
for central bank, which is told in
graphic and exact manner In the mono
graph of DR.. Dandnann He declares in
his preface that 1.-The principle, which
was recognized in theory long ago, that
the system OF free banking, while suit
ed to the early stages, does not meet
the requirements of the advanced and
matured state of the bank-note system,
worked it's way to the front all along
the line in the course Of the second half
of the nineteenth century in actual
legislation: nor is there the slightest in
dication of reaction from this view"
The first Swiss banks of issue were
established Independently and without
federal supervision Agreements to
check abuses and to secure the uniform
circulation and redemption of the notes
were made in 1862, 1875 and 1882, the
latter being enforced by general
banking law. One of the requirements
Of the law was a reserve of 30 percent
in specia against note issues, which,
however, could not be used for any
other business Of the bank. and was
held essentially as a guaranty of ulti-
mate solvency. The banks were al
lowed to issue notes to twice the
amount of their capital which had the
healthy effect Of causing some expan-
sion of capital to cover enlarged note
issues.
The Swiss banks of issue being COM
peeled to pay taxes not on the amount
Of the effective circulation, but on the
total of the authorized issue, they were
naturally disposed to enlarge the cir
cIlation as much as possible, as they
had to pay on the total of the author
lied issue anyway, and leaving part
Of this sum idle would have meant q
direct loss to them The banks had to
keep 40 percent of their circulation in
specie in their vaults; and if, for in
stance, 20 percent of a banks issue
/. e., its authorized issue-were not in
circulation at all, only 40 percent OF its
issue would have been profitably in
vested, which would have resulted In
profit of about to 2h percent of the
issue. The bank having to pay six
tenths of 1 percent of the entire author
lied issue TO the cantons and one-tenth
of l percent to the confederation, this
would make, roughly. l percent, which.
taken off the profit above shown, would
leave a profit of only l to y percent.
1t will therefore be readily understood
that all the banks of issue endeavored
TO put their entire authorized issue on
the market. 80 that every taxable note
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-03-16

should yield a return: and this object
was attained, but only at the cost of q
violation of two principles of every
sound discount policy. namely, the
principle of sleection of the material
for discounting and the principle of
regulation of the bank rate.
Taking up the question of the char
acter Of the assets of the Swiss note
banks, it is pointed out that the long
time investments steadily gained over
those for short terms until the ratio
of shOrt-time investments to the total
decreased from 1913 percent in 1885 to
24.79 percent in 1895.
These conditions of undertaking for
long-term obligations were accompanied
by competition in discount rates which
operated adversely to the maintenance
of favorable exchange conditions with
France and other countries. Each banls-
ing center published it's own rate of
discount, and it happened not infre-
quently that one bank lowered its rate
of discount while another raised it at
the same time
1t was not until the year 1893 that Is
of the then existing 35 banks decided
ito keep the discount rate at an appro-
pirate level in order TO protect the
stocks Of cash in the country" and a
committee, consisting of five of the
largest banks, was appointed to deal
with the question of fixing genera!
official discount rate which should
serve as basis for all discount transac
tions. With the Introduction of this
uniform and official discount rate there
set in a decided tendency toward the
betterment of conditions Very soon.
however. this agreement proved made
Quate-
A new agreement contained the pro-
viso that each particular bank was only
obligated to maintain this minimum
limit las far as possible and that Il;
had the right to discount up to one
fourth Of l percent below the fixed
minimum rate bank acceptances. or
first-class commercial papers, or for the
purpose of keeping its holdings of bills
up to the amount prescribed by its rules
and regulations
The position of those banks that re-
NAMED faithful to the agreement be-
came so difficult that a new revision -
the regulations was decided upon,
which should give the various banks
greater freedom of action This plan
Of compromise was, however, frustrated
nv a large number of banks showing
their dislike of the agreement. and In
the general meeting OF the banks OF
issue on Nov. %, 1901, the stipulations
respecting the minimum rate of dis
court were entirely abolished, and the
old state Of freedom from all restriction
was thua reestablished-
Another attempt. in 1905. to bring
about cooperation secured the assent OF
only 20 of the SIS banks, and by the
law of Oct of that year Switzerland
finally sought refuge from the discord
of independent banks of issue without
common leadership, in the system OF
central bank.
