UNCLE SAM WILL
GET BIG INCOME
Government Depositaries to Pay
Two Per Cent. Interest.
ORDER is ISSUED BY M'AD00
Fiscal System Governing Federal
Funds Deposited In National
Banks Revolution
lied.

Washington.-The fiscal system of
the United States governing deposits
of Federal funds in national banks was
revolutionized Wednesday by Secre-
tary McAdoo, of the Treasury Depart
ment with an announcement that all
government repositories, whether ac-
tive or inactive, would be required to
pay interest at the rate of ? per cent.
per annum, beginning June /, upon de-
posits of the government.
simultaneously with this action, the
Secretary authorized an immediate in
crease of S10,000,000 in government de-
posts in the national banks, making
the total S52,649,964, from which the
Federal treasury will earn, under the
new interest order, $1,053 900 annually.
There are indications that Secretary
McAdoo intends to release still more
surplus money from the treasury
vaults and place it in general circula-
ton through increased deposits with
the national banks. In a statement he
said:
with the banks paying interest on
government deposits, the Secretary
may be justified in keeping larger bal
ances in the national banks, thereby
increasing the volume Of money in cir
culation and to that extent reducing
the amount locked up in the treasury"
Securities Acceptable.
Mr. McAdoo also announced a radi-
cal change in the character of securi-
ties which the Treasury Department
would accept for government deposits.
Instead of requiring that the national
banks secure treasury deposits eX-
clusively with United States or pro
vincial government bonds, they will be
allow ed in future to secure 20 per cent.
with government bonds and the re-
naming 80 per cent with high-class
state, city and county bonds, acceptable
to the Secretary of the Treasury, to be
taken as security al rs per cent. of
their market value, but not to exceed
par.
This is the first time in history that
the Treasury Department has called
upon the banks to pay interest on
what are known as active deposits or
accepted, except in periods of financial
stress, security other than govern
ment bonds. Active repositories are
those which conduct a checking ac-
count for the government, cashing
checks of the disbursing officers and
replenishing their authorized govern
ment deposits from customs and in
ternal revenue receipts deposited with
them.
There are 500 inactive repositories,
each holding $1,000 of government
funds Upon these deposits, which are
not disturbed by checking accounts,
the government has drawn per cent
interest for the past five years. These
are the only government accounts
which never have earned interest.
Expects No Trouble.
Secretary MoAdoo declared he did
not anticipate any serious resistance
on the part of the banks to the new
policy. If any banks was disposed to
surrender its account by reason Of the
order ne said, there were many others
willing to take it up.
