FIRST-CLASS BONDS AND INDUS
TRIAL SECURITIES SHOULD
BE RECOGNIZED.
BANKS TO PAY interest
"It Is Necessary and the Country Cam
not Postpone II SAFELY"
He Said.


Hill appeared Unexpectedly before the
monetary commission committee late
this afternoon to give his opinion Of
financial plan for the country. He
discussed the entire financial con-
dition, and at one point took issues
with the members of the committee of
what should be a lawful security.
Securities As Property.
Mr.. Hill suggested that for the peo-
pie borrowing money, rst-class bonds
and industrial securities should be
recognized as property security for
loans by banks. Members OF the
committee suggested that good notes.
as now legalized should be considered
in the plan. He cited an incident dur
ing the recent stringency when he
wanted to borrow money When the
banks were refusing loans on notes
which in other times have been con-
sidered as first-class securities, he
went to New York with a lot of rail-
road bonds and borrowed what money
he wanted.
Against Initiation.
Mr. Hill said among other things
that he was opposed to further In
flaton of money.
1--WE have got enough money in the
country now. What we want Is con-
fidence. When the people have con-
fidence the business of the country
goes ahead
Central Reserve Modification.
IN brief, Mr.. Hul advocated a
modification in the plan for the or
ganization of the central reserve as
sociation, which is under considera-
tion with an authorized capital stock
from 500 million to 500 million dol
lars Each bank holding stock in the
association should have only one vote
he believed, and no vote for stock
ownership. He further thought there
should be no government directors on
the national board and urged that the
national reserve association should be
permitted to make loans to memisr
banks on security consisting of first
class bonds of railroads and first
class industrial corporation bonds.
Should Pay Tax.
He also advocated that the reserve
association should pay the government
interest on government deposits. and
that notes of the association should
not be taxed except after they had
been in circulation for so or 80 days
Shouldn't Postpone 1t.
with such notifications and
changes in the plan that the commits
sion has under consideration as you
have suggested, you would then favor
the organization Of a central reserve
association"
"Unqualifiedly," replied Mr.. HILL
TT Is necessary and the country can
not postpone it safely for any length
Of time
A. B. Stackner, former president OF
the Chicago, Great Western railway,
said he considered the banking sys-
TEN wrong without the necessary
qualifications that were advocated
