citation with the Treasurer of the United
States as security for circulating notes
for 3 per centum bonds OF the United
States without circulation privilege, pay
able after twenty years from date OF
issue and exempt from federal, state
and municipal taxation both as TO In
come and principal.
Every national bank may continue 10
apply for and receive from the Controller
of the Currency circulating notes under
the conditions provided by this act, but
no national bank shall be permitted TO
issue circulating notes Of any descrip-
ton or TO issue or TO make use or any
substitute for such circulating notes in
the form of clearing house certificates
cashiers checks or other obligation not
specifically provided for under this act
and no national bank shall in any one

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1913-07-17

If enacted in its present form IL will sim
ply drive a very large number of small
national banks. at least. out Of the sys-
TEN. as II would tie up a very large
amount of their resources and practically
give them nothing in return.
Delaware, Ohio.-I do not know what
power the federal government has under
the Constitution TO require bank to sub
scribe to anothe- bank for the purpose OF
giving it capital to do business on 20 per
cent Of its unimpaired capital without It's
consent The ultimatum is you shall do
these things and many more or we will
take away in year your charter and dis
solve your bank" II is your money or
your life"
Ottawa, Ohio.-From information at
hand concerning this bill the opinion Of
this county seems to be that 1t Is not
satisfactory.
Shelburne Falls.-The bill requires too
large an amount of the reserve of ma
tional bank to be held in its vaults with
the reserve bank This clause alone
would be very serious for the country
banks We consider the provision Of the
bill requiring banks TO take stock IN the
reserve banks TO the amount Of 20 per
cent of their capital stock without au-
thoritative voice in its control as unjust.
The fact that national banks are to re-
ceive only per cent on their stock in re-
serve banks will have a tendency to dis
courage them from going into the ar
rangement.
Northampton. Mass.-lt provides Tor the
enforced investment by national banks OF
% per cent Of their capital in an enter
prise involving some risk and with re-
turn limited absolutely to per cent; TINS
at a time when securities promising TINS
return and involving much less risk are
offered freely on the market. should
suppose that national banks generally
would give up their charters and operate
under state laws TO avoid these require
ments.
| In view of the objections made to the
bill Democratic 'eaderS are already ad-
hitting the possibility that it will be
modified in many particulars. 1t is
possible that the amount TO be sub
scribed by member banks TO the reserve
banks may be cut down from 20 to III
per cent.
