controlled and managed so as to rep
resent the democratic spirit and sound
common sense of this nation
The most important function which
this agency would fill would be as a
central depository for portion Of the
reserves which are required by law
These reserves form the ammunition
of our 10000 soldiers Each soldier
should have in his cartridge box
sufficient amount of ammunition to
meet any ordinary attack. The bal
ance should be centered in one depos-
itory, where the knowledge of its pres
ence, and its great size, will inspire
confidence, and where 1t can be rem
dered easily available for intelligent
control, for the need Of any of the sol
diers on the firing line.
The next function in importance
would be the issue of currency. We
all recognize that enlightened nations
base their currency upon credit, with
a substantial and adequate reserve Of
gold. A currency system, to meet the
requirements of a nation so teeming
with energy and enterprise as this. must
be so elastic as to expand and con
tract with the requirements of trade.
Most of us are convinced of the neces-
sity of an expansion of currency but
many do not realize that II Is just as
necessary that the currency contract.

tries Of the country.
The local bank is the bank of dis
count for the business community, and
under ordinary conditions can take
care of the requirements of the com.
munity which it serves central as.
sociation should be bank of discount
for the local banks. Let the man on
the street picture to his mind that the
note-issuing of the central association
Is merely to extend to the local bank
by means of the rediscounting of its
negotiable paper, the same assistance
to tide over an emergency that the
local bank extends to him as, a bust
ness man
The functions of any note,issuing
power are merely those of bank for
banks. The man who is operating
even the simplest industry will under
stand this, if you say to him that when
conditions arise which make it impos-
sible for him to collect the accounts
due as readily as is usual or through
some change in trade conditions he
finds he has in stock larger amount
of merchandise than he can comfort
ably carry, he goes to his banker, ex-
plains his conditions and, if they are
sound, pledges certain of his assets, or
his commercial paper properly indors
ed, and obtains assistance, until nor
NAL conditions reassert themselves.
Our recurring currency stringencies
have been due to the fact that when
the banking community as a whole has
extended all the relief within its power,
and finds that collections are slow, or
that merchants are overstoeked with
the merchandise in which they deal,
there is no, bank to which the bank
