r. G. Phott, President Peoples Nation
al Bank, Outlines Plan for Nation
al Currency.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 3.-Speaking
before the American Bankers Associa-
ton in this city today r. G. Rhett,
president of the Peoples National Bank
of Charleston, S. c., outlined a plan
for national currency system which
he felt would meet the needs of the
country. Mr.. Rhett said in part:
Although large sections of the
United States year after year for near.
ly half century suffered and lost
much through the currency system
with which we are now burdened, it
has taken the panic of 1907 to bring
its evils home 10 the public in general
We in the South have been compelled
to bring currency from Northern cen
tiers by express or registered mail
every fall year in and year out, for the
purpose of moving our crops; and as
soon as the movement is over, we are
compelled to re-ship this currency
back to the source from whence it
came. The movement is not only at
tended with heavy expense, but it is a
tax and strain upon the resources Of
every Southern bank. Worse still, it
has been the cause of incalculable loss
to our planters by forcing their crops
upon the market at the mercy of the
purchaser. This purchaser has been
represented largely by the English
and continental spinner during the
most of these years and the loss has
been one not only to the South, but to
the nation. If the present ration of
increase in our spinning industry is
maintained a few more years, however,
1t will no longer be loss either to
the nation or to the South. The ques-
ton with us, therefore, is not alto
gether one Of avoiding such panics as
we had in 1907, but of avoiding the
perennial strain attending the gather
ing and movement of the cotton crop"

savings bank Is now live issue, and
several exports will express opinions
as to the probable effect of the new
law creating such institutions. 1t has
been repeatedly urged that the postal
banks will have no bad effect on ex-
listing institutions, but many savings
bank officials view the future with a
great deal of misgiving. In the South
especially the bankers fear the posi-
BILE effects of the new law.
1t is stated tht more than 35,000,-
900 has been stolen from banks in the
past five years by officials and en-
ployes. and the convention will at
tempt to provide additional safeguards
against such losses. Banks in New
York, Louisville, Pittsburg, Denver
and other cities have recently suffered
losses of more than a million dollars
each. It is intimated that the num-
Der of inside bank thefts in this
country every year runs up into thou
sands. Usually only the larger en-
bezzlements become public, bankers
in many cases proferring to pocket
small losses rather than court pub

investigating banking irregularities

speculation is nearly always the cause

ing their market position on the hope
OF continuation of the present heavy
movement for another four or five
weeks, and the expectation of a great
ly curtailed export demand due to the
English labor trouble as a result of
which 700 mills may shut down. Of
ferings from both these sources, how
ever, were readily absorbed by the old
Dull interests who apparently are
again heavily committed to the long
side of the &C. This coterie are
outspoken in their predictions of ulti-
mate higher prices, and are arguing
against any material reaction from
the present price level owing to the
dry weather recently prevailing
throughout the South which they
claim has restricted the development
of the top crop so much needed to
round out the yield and will result in
very bullish Bureau report on Oct.
3rd. In this connection it is we'll to
bear in p:ind that the report viii be
the last one issued on conditions this
season.
In general, the potent factors likely
to influence immediate price move
ments will be receipts and the coming
Governemnt report. The magnitude
of the movement of cotton to the mar
ket would ordinarily bear heavily on
quotations were it not generally recog-
nized that planters in most cases are
satisfied with going prices, and wher-
ever there is any inclination to hold
back the staple pressure is being
brought to bear by local banks, so that
the unusual rush that is going on from
all sections of the belt is likely to be
but temporary. The statistical situa.
ton is undoubtedly strong and war
rants high prices for the staple, but
it is recognized, of course, that ruling
quotations have discounted to a con.
siderable extent very bad situation
although much still depends on crop
developments; that is to say, whether
the crop is to be further materially
reduced from going estimates. In the
long run supply and demand must OF
course rule, and in this respect the
former cannot under any circumstanc'
es be large.

Essentials to Safety.

Continuing his address, Mr.. Rhett
said that any sound system of bank
note currency must contain the fol
lowing enthusiastically, par circu'
lation, elasticity, fiuidity and abund'
ance, and he then spoke at length up
on these particular phases Of the sys'
tenn he proposed. He then read to
the convention the draft Of bill for
this proposed currency system, which
went into the matter in great detail
In conclusion, Mr.. Rhett said:
1.-The plan is, of course, crude in
many respects, and no doubt contains
features which are not feasible in the
exact shape in which they are pre-
scented; but l believe it incorporates
system, which can be beaten into per
feet shape, for the supply of the kind
of currency which the country wants
and which will give it rest from the
annual strain it now feels during the
harvest season, and from the panics
which the lack Of elasticity in our pres
ent system has so often brought upon

The New System.

After reviewing the financial cendi-
lions in this country for the past few
years, Mr.. Rhett came to the discus
sion of his new system and said:
1.-THE ideal system would make the
deposits as safe and secure as the
notes, SO that the fear of their loss
would not arise; and have attempted
to work this out in a period of from
ten to twelve years. But, inasmuch
as all credit is based on confidence
and every change is viewed with
doubt and suspicion until tried out,
it behooves us to go slowly and strive
for the practical; to take the first step
and test its soundness and strength
before we take a second one, and ven
ture to throw safeguards around the
bank check that might weaken the
bank note, and discredit the whole
system.
