II Vital Question.

New York, Feb. 12-Andrew Carne-
gle in an interview discusses his con-
ception of the so-called money trust y
Our national bank law said Mr..
Carnegie, lis responsible for the high
concentration of the countrys money
In New York. Do you realize that
nearly one-sixth Of all the real money
of the United States is on Manhattan
island? This is the real money
trust" Mr.. Carnegie went into con-
siderable detail to explain his views
on the situation. He said:
New York banks last year received
$687 100000 from the rest of the coun-
try and sent back only $468,000, 600
a net gain of $218,000,000. Why does
New York get this money? The ma
tional bank law provides that coun.
try bank must hold a cash reserve
OF SIS against every $500 Of deposits,
but the bank may keep SO of this SIS
in reserve city banks. These reserve
city banks must hold cash reserve OF
$25 against every 500 of deposits, but
they may keep half their reserves in
the central reserve cities-New York
Chicago and ST. Louis
How Money Chain Is Formed.
"The reserve cash in country bank
is idle-it earns nothing, but deposited
in a New York bank it earns 2 per
cent. It is this per cent. that lures
the country banks money to Wall
street spectators at 3 per cent. or
per cent. Every $1OO cash left in a
New York bank by country bank is
the basis of $500 in loans to Wall
street for speculation in stocks, grain
and cotton.
isn't this bad way of doing
things? There isn't another country
in the world that legally provides
for such a concentration of money
In one hoard to be used by specula.
tors. We can't check the money trust
until we stop this pouring of money
into Wall street for speculation.
Calls 1t Vital Question.
This is one reason why I believe
the most vital question before the peo-
pie today is banking and currency re-
form. We must stop the piling up
of money in New York for speculative
use, and we must enlarge the market
for the use of loanable funds to pro.
mote agriculture, industry and com.
MERGE Commercial paper, not stock.
brokers' notes, must be made the
chief investment for bank funds here,
as it is in Europe. This is one of the
basic principles of the National Re
serve association.
England, France, Germany and
other countries have safeguarded their
bank reserves and can use them to
prevent money panics. Hence their
safety. We don't hence our danger.
Says Delay Is Criminal.
"We are the only country in the
world today that has money panics
the final burden of which is borne by
business, and the disaster of which
falls upon innocent workingmen and
women. It is really criminal to delay
action now.
Congressional investigation of the
money trust will show that we have 8
dangerous banking system, a system
that concentrates funds in Wall stree,
and breeds panics, and this investi
cation will be an unanswerable argu
ment for banking and currency re

sis has created an inevitable tendency
to increase parcel rates. There has
been no uniformity in the application
of any system or basis or scale of
rates with reference to points simil-
arly situated even within the same
territory. and no reasonable relation
is suggested in the rates fixed between
the service given by the railroad in
the carriage of a parcel and that CIV
en- by the express company in its ter
minal service.
An American Invention.
For the correction of these evils
there has appeared to be but one rem
edy, the construction or rate sys-
tenn that should cover the United
States. This has been a task of un-
precedented magnitude and difficulty.
We have sought for all possible light
upon this subject both in Europe and
in America and have arrived at con-
clusions which are set forth in our or
der as to just what, reasonable, and
nondiscriminatory rates would be.
Our effort has been to make certain
that ample compensation shall be al
lowed upon a reasonable basis for
the full service given; to the railroad
for its passenger-train movement, and
to the express company for all that
it does both for the railroad and for
the shipper. We have not attempted
to segregate the amount that should
go 20 each. however, the public being
primarily interested in the gross
charge which the express carrier
makes. There being no uniformity in
rates now, 1t has become necessary
to increase some rates under the tar
if here presented. These increases
however. affect almost exclusively
the rates on packages of the higher
weights.
In order that the shippers and the
carriers may have abundant opportu-
nifty to analyze these rates and pre-
sent their views to the commission be-
fore they go into eject, the order
made at this time will require the
carriers to show cause on october 8,
1912, why the proposed rates should
not be put into effect.
The report opens with an apprecia-
/ ton OF the express company as all
American invention, saying:
Nowhere else save on this continent
does the express company as we
know 1t exist In other and smaller
countries similar service is given by
the railroads themselves; or the rail
carrier, confining itself exclusively to
transportation by rail, gives expedited
service for small parcels, leaving the
gathering and delivering of the pack
ages to Independent concerns general
ly known as forwarders. In the
United states, however, the express
company, which was originally Great
ed to care for the small package bus
mess of an individual railroad line
has now become an invaluable agen-
cy in the articulation of the railroad
systems of the country for the fur.
nishing of fast passage for small
freight. These carriers live by the
grace of the railroads, and their ex'
istence may be justified only to the
extent that their service is more eff
cient and more reasonable than thai
! which would be given by the rail
roads themselves.
