Democrats Make Changes

Changes in the currency bill made
by the democratic wing of the COM
mittee today were the result of figures
presented by Chairman owen showing
that the shifting of the reserves In the
bill as originally drawn would have
taxed the reserve money of the coun-
try.
The administration forces once more
reinstated the disputed lawful money"
provision. The clause provides that
the new currency shall be payable in
gold at the treasury in Washington
but shall be payable in gold or law
full money" at each regional bank. In
this connection the committee strength
ened the gold redemption fund require
ments.
The legal tender" quality of the new
notes provided for in the bill after a
lengthy discussion and a rather heat
ed struggle was stricken out again to-
day. The representation of the banks
in the drectorates of the regional re-
serve banks was altered to allow, d.
rectors elected by the members BANKS
to be directors or officers of other
financial institutions

Strike Out Requirement

Farm loans as an investment for
national banks would be authorized in
an amendment written into the repub-
lican draft. Senator Hitchcock and the
minority members amended the bill 70
provide that national banks may in
vest one-third of their time deposits In
five-year farm mortgages based on 50
per cent of the value of the land
mortgaged. The republicans struck out
of the House bill the requirement that
national banks must segregate the cap
ital and assets behind all funds held
as savings accounts. The bank ex-
animation section of the bill was re-
vised, the committee providing that
bank examiners shall be placed on a
salary of from 5000 to $1,000 a year
thus eliminating the fee system.

Senate Committee Guarding
Against Possible Money
Stringency
"TRANSITION PERIOD"
WILL BE PROTECTED
Both Factions of Committee Anxious
to Aveid Confusion Due to the
Changes Necessary for Banks
to Conform to Law

Washington, November 1S.-Means of
protecting the country against any
possible financial stringency when tho
proposed new currency system goes
into effect were considered today by
both the democratic and republican
wings of the Senate banking and cur
rency committee.
In each case amendments to the adj
ministration currency bill agreed upon
were designed to cover the "transi
tion PERIOD" while banks are trans
ferring their reserves to the proposed
new federal reserve banks. The demo-
Gratis adopted a change that would
permit local banks to deposit half the
required reserve in the regional bank
In the form of commercial paper in
stead of requiring the entire deposit to
be in cash. Another amendment would
authorize the federal reserve board to
make the new treasury notes and the
present bank notes eligibl for use as
part of the reserves to relieve embar-
rassment during the transition period.
