With wholesome legislation providing

function of a clearing house Is to facili-

involved, time consumed and risk in

is but one principle involved.

collection on all the other banks, called

independence of Money Centers.

The experience of Columbia, s. c.. was
very Illuminating in respect to this sub
ject. The bankers there We're unable to
obtain currency from their metropolitan
correspondents, and therefore issued
clearing house certificates. which We're
used in paying the farmers. moving their
crops and the transaction Of business gen-
orally in that community. One of their
leading bankers prepared statistics, show
ing the amount of currency which had
been brought into Columbia by express
the previous year, to supply the crop
moving requirements of the fall. The
express charges for bringing in and sub
sequently returning this money were very
considerable: the interest paid upon the
loans made with their city correspondents
in order to realize credits both for check
ing purposes and for currency purposes,
was very considerable All this was saved
by the use Of clearing house certificates.
which We're issued against the Joint credit
of the banks of the town and served
every purpose not We'll. of course. but
nevertheless served every purpose of the
community in harvesting and marketing
their crops; they also saved the bankers
of the city a considerable sum of money
This illustrates forcefully one of the
very great advantages to be derived from
a law which would allow banks locally
to utilize their own credit for currency
purposes, and shows to what an extent
the different sections of the country would
be made independent of the money CEN
tiers, like st. Louis, Chicago, New York
and other cities. The panic of 1893. and
their inability to obtain currency in New
York ard other cities forced the issuance
of clearing house certificates by Columbia
and contributed to the financial we'll
being of the community which Columb: a
served, by saving them the usual tribute
in the form of express charges and in
terest. which they normally paid to other
localities.
Other sections of the country had a
similar experience. Surely it is reason
able and right to ask ConSress for iegis-
laton which shall, in the light of expert
ence, give us a banking and currency
system which shall serve the needs of
business and conserve the material inter-
ests of the community.

delivery clerks. a process involving ten
or fifteen minutes. The settling clerks
who receive such envelopes, tabulate the
same, report the amount to the clearing
house manager and are charged there
with by the clearing house
The exchanges taken to and carried
away from the clearing house are the
same items differently combined, and
therefore the total credits must equal the
total debts, and thus prove the days
work. The amount which each bank
brings. however. will vary from the
amount which all the other banks bring
against IL, and each bank is credit or
debit. according to whether the amount
of exchanges ii brought to the clearing
house tor the other banks) exceeds or
falls short of the amount which all the
other banks have brought against it. Its
credit or debit will be for the amount of
such difference. or balance.
1926, 200, ,oco Exchanges a Day.
One great advantage of the clearing
house is that bookkeeping does all it
can by way of offset; cash is called
upon only to settle the balances. The
banks that are found debit in the morn
ing-10 to 1890 o'clock-pay into the
clearing house their debit balances at
i pm. the clearing house redistributes
the amount to meet the credit balances
diiu pays the same TO tile creator
banks at 1:30 pm. OF course the
credit and debit balances equal and
prove each other. Each bank settles
with the clearing house precisely as
two banks would settle with each
other. if there Were only two banks in
the town. The exchanges of the New
York clearing house for last year
averaged more than SS2o,000,0a0 daily;
this was all accomplished by less than
a half hours work in the morning, and
IT,, -
the banks collecting this 1925 100000
daily from each other. and paying it to
each other, with attedant labor and
risk involved in sending SO much
money about the streets. the cash re-
quirements averaged about S1S.000,0O0
cent of the totals involved
BY enlarging our vision TO include the
whole country, it is easy to realize
what great service the clearing
business generally. by accomplishing
this maximum of business with mini
mum of time and expense. and a mini
mum demand upon the actual cash of
the country. This service is little
known to the average citizen, and is
therefore, not appreciated.
I have described the only normal
function of a clearing house, and the
only function it would be called upon
10 perform but for the grossly defec-
i've laws .iItH govern
system. A fellow-feeling makes the
world akin. and a common danger
cements kindred interests in united ef-
fort for mutual protection. Brought
into close and harmonious relations in
the clearing house, il naturally fol-
lows that in times of financial stress
and business peril the banks should
combine effort and act through the
clearing houses of the country for the
benefit OF commerce and in aid of indi-
vidual members of the community.

An Elastic Currency.

Second-The volume of metallic money
comes through the mint and partially
disappears by abrasion. loss and through
the melting pots of the jewelers. As to
any particular country, the volume may
be increased or diminished by export or
import. While the volume of coin money
varies. il is III no sense responsive to the
varying needs of business A properly
regulated bank currency is the only cur
rency which the experience of the world
las devised that will come into being
when wanted and retire when there Is
no longer need for its use. Under our
law banks must buy bonds, which COM
mand premium, as security for circula-
tion, and must pay more for the same
than the amount of currency they are
permitted to issue thereupon. By taking
out circulation bank locks up money l..
a bond investment, and it thereby lessons
its ability TO supply the needs of its
customers
Commercial banks are designed to
serve and supply credit to commerce
and trade, both large and small. The
notes and loans which they hold rep
resent the hopes of prosperity of the
millions OF people throughout the land,
who have sought credit with the banks
in order to supplement their own re-

Defects in Monetary System.

There are three cardinal defects in
our monetary system. not TO mention
others. from which other great COM
mercial nations are reasonably i'm
lnune.
t1rst-The reserve power OF the banks:
the cash they hold-and which is mar
gin of safety in dealing with the public
and which supplements tie use of checks
and drafts, which may he characterized
as auNiiiar currency-shouId be under
centralized control. an altruistic control
dominated by the government in order
that the same may be used when and
where needed for the common good In
whatever section of the country condi-
lions may call for its use. Under pres
ent law each Of our 5000 banks holds its
own cash reserve. ard whenever trouble
some times come or threaten. all banks
naturally seek TO strengthen themselves
by increasing their cash holdings-they
enter into active competition for this
purpose. and in so doing refuse loans and
withhold currency. Past experience has
taught them that II they part with their
cash there is no source from which thev
can with certainty obtain more The Sit
uation is thereby aggravated and threat
ened trouble may be made actual trouble
all because OF the natural working of the
law.
