THE sHRUyKEY BANK DEPOSITS

Dispatches from Washington in regard
20 the recent reports of the national
Lalks 10 the Controller Of the Currency
create a false impression of the signif-
cance of the large reduction in deposits,
becausc they are based Oh the popular
idea OF what a deposit is. So far as the
experience of the average man goes, a
depOsit is created when he takes some
money from his cash drawer and puts
jt I'm the bank. Perhaps his deposit may
consist in part Of checks, but he thinks
Of the checks as so much money, 50
that making n deposit is, to his mind
putting money in the bank, and accord
inclv the reduction OF bank deposits Is
the reverse process Of taking money out
Of the bank.
But the fact is that very large per-
cehtage of bank deposits IN this country
do not spring from any such transac-
tiOns. When they are entered on the
banks books no money is put IN the
bank. and they may disappear from the
hanks books without any money being
taken from the bank. we reler' OF

REAPPoRTIoNMENT QUESTIONED

Sir. Why rot postpone Congressional re-
apportionment and create a Joint Congres-
slouai commission, like the Monetary ana
Waterways commissions. TO scientihcaly
investigate the entire suffrage question IN
all the states and report 10 Congress after
March {. 1913?
respectfully submit that under Section
. OF the Fourteenth Amendment TO tho red-
eraI Constitution Congress must consider
in its reapportonment Of Representatives
whether suffrage has been unawfuliy De
