ket if the United States had central
bank such as exists in England, Ger
many and France. In 1908 congress
made feeble attempt to provide
substitute for such bank by passing
any securities owned by them, in
what is known as the emergency cur
rency bill.
Under the terms of this bill nation
al banks may issue circulation
banknotes bearing their name-in-
cluding commercial paper. This prac-
tically makes all kinds of bonds avail
able for circulation, which is limited
by law to five hundred million dollars.
Heretofore only United States bonds
could be used as basis for circula-
ton save in times of great panic and
stress, when the secretary Of the
tr reasury can use his discretion about
the securities.
Save where United States or mu-
nicipal bonds are used as a basis for
the emergency or additional" circu-
lation bank must be member OF
currency association in order to
avail itself of the provisions of the
law. Ten or more national banks in
community, with capital and sur
plus aggregating not less than five
million dollars, may form such an
association. 1t was not until this
summer that any large advantage
was taken of this provision. On July
20 the national banks of New York
City organized the National Curren
cy association of the City of New
York. Though it was not believed
that there would be any occasion thii
: fall to take out the emergency cir
culation, it was deemed good plai
to be ready.-Saturday Post.

WantOn Legislature

Under the above caption the Iron
Trade Review discusses in discerning
fashion the famous cotton bill passed
by the last congress, and which Presi-
dent Taft has been criticized for veto
ing. 1t will be remembered that TINS
bill came back to the house from the
senate with whole lot of amend
ments to it which sought to revise the
iron, steel and chemical schedules IN
the present tariff law, as well as
the cotton schedules. Under gag
rule this amended bill was passed by
the Democrats without even the
amendments injected by the senate
being read to the house. Says the
Iron Trade Review:
The crowning act of the late unla-
mented session of congress was the
passage of the so-called cotton bill.
The consideration given to this bill
was SO brief that few people in the
country are aware of the immense i'm
portance of the measure as amended.
IL became not merely bill to reduce
the tariff on cotton, but also most
ridiculous attempt to revise the chem
ical and iron and steel schedules. The
amendments providing for the revis-
ion of the iron and steel and chemical
schedules were tackled on at the last
minute by the senate. The fact that
the bill as amended was not expected
to become a law, was shown by the
failure of the so-called regular Re
rubl,cans to vote, leaving the Demo-
Gratis To carry the measure without the
assistance of the insurgents. This lu-
nicrous performance does not detract
from the responsibility Of the ma
jority party in attempting such ill
advised and ruinous legislation, nor
does it relieve the minority party from
failure To resist such legislation.
AS to the iron and steel schedule,
the proposed changes were for the
most part on the percentage basis,
the reduction being on many para
graphs to 40 Ter cent of the present
duties, and in numerous other para
graphs, the reduction to be 60 per
cent of the present rates. For ex-
2paAle :: irQa va = be xsdpced
Waste of time how to follow all The
proposed reductions through their
ramifications. Suffice it to say that
the proposed changes were made with
cut due consideration, and this was
done after months had been devoted
TO the discussion of other subjects.
Sdch a wanton attack upon the in
dustries of the country has seldom,
if ever before, been seen in the Unit
ed States. Even The Outlook, noted
as an advocate of low tariff policy,
declares that the proceeding was "dis-
graceful and SO it will be considered
by the country when all the facts be-
come known.

Why Money Is Tight

The demand for money at this time
is really twotold: one is for capital,
which comes from the buyers and
shippers Of grain; the other is from
the farmers, who want the currency
for the wages of their employees.
This is the reason why. If the av-
erage farmer, like the average busi-
ness man, had bank account and
conducted his business through def
mite financial channel, it would not be
so hard; but the average farmer has
no bank account. Even if he did have
one he could not give checks to the
farm hands that harvest his crops, be-
cause these hands are often nomads
who follow the ripening grain from
south to north. They must be paid
off in cash, and the proposition of
providing this cash at time when
other business and speculative inter-
iiia'''i y cla uariassfpr aa0aeS
crop-moving period.
The demand for crop money is first
felt in July, when the winter wheat
is yellowing in the southwest, and it
lasts until late in September. The
effects, however, are felt we'll into
the winter. 1t has been figured that
1t takes approximately one hundred
and fifty million dollars to move our
crops. Now, though this amount does
rot seem colossal when compared with
some other financial outlays, it makes
much bigger ripple in the money
market than you would at first mag
inc. To begin with, this money must
all be in actual cash. In the sec
ond place it is tremendous drain
on the national banks, as you shall
see. A national bank must keep in its
vaults legal reserve of 25 per cent
of its deposits. This means that a
dollar of national bank reserve is pro
lection for a debt of four dollars to
the depositor. When you withdraw
one hundred and fifty million dollars
from the reserve supply for crop NOV
ing there is corresponding contrac-
ton of four times that amount in de-
posits and loans. Thus widespread
is composed. Many banks
are compelled to call loans during the
crop-moving period.
The money for moving the crops |

national bank notes and coin. In the
'outh, "cart-wheel dollars" as the ne
gro cotton hands call them, are used
Sometimes the money is
ent by telegraph, but often by ex-
,ress.
Naturally the place that feels the
Irain most is New York, which is the
ountry's financial reservoir The
country banks"-that is, the banks
utside OF subtreasury points-all
ave large deposits there. Toward
he fall they begin to withdraw these
eposits in order to meet local farm
emands. This curtails the lending
over of the New York banks, which
lust call their own loans. Money ,
ates go up. AT such seasons the
anks begin to pile up surplus re- {
srves-the lawful money held in ex-
ess of reserve requirements. The
ank statement tells the story. II

snkers this year, there have not been =
