IN LIEU OF CURRENCY BILL.

Wharton Barker Proposes Legislation
to Solve Financial Problem.
Philadelphia, July 24.-Wharton
Barker, economist and reforner, who
opposes the Democratic Currency
Reform bill, believes he has found
solution of the problem involved.
He has written to President Wilson.
Secretary McAdoo and each member
OF Senate and House suggesting
three amendments to the National
Bank. act and the enactment of law
for the deposit of public money with
clearing house associations; also the
establishment Of a bank of thG Uni
ted States of deposit, discount, and
exchange, the total stock to be
owned by the United States. The
proposed amendments follow:
/. To require national banks to
withdraw their reservee funds and
to hold these moneys in their own
vaults.
2. To prohibit national banks from
making loans upon securities (bonds
and stock that have not paid inter-
est or dividends Of not less than 3
per cent per annum for three con-
secutiYe years prior to date of loan,
and to limit amount Of loans to so
per cent OF the average market price
for the three calendar years preced-
ing date of loan.
3. Authorizing national banks to
establish two classes Of accounts, one
payable in actual money, when mon
ey has been deposited, and one paya-
Bile by credit on the bank books when
a credit has been deposited or a note
discounted.
A period Of one year, and no long

er, Mr.. Barker says, should be given
to national banks to withdraw their
reserve money from reserve cities, so
as to cause as little disturbance as
possible in New York.
"The enactment of Amendment
g." said Mr.. Barker, would force
gamblers in stocks and bonds to seek
loans from private bankers and 9TH
er private money lenders, prevent
officers Of national banks from put
ting in jeopardy depositors' money,
and stop many Stock Exchange
transactions, cutting off the major
part of the transactions of specula-
tors and gamblers.
''In addition to these amend
ments," continued Mr.. Barker, ga
new law might with propriety be
proposed and enacted-that moneys
in the Treasury of the United States
be deposited with the several Clear
ing House Associations of the United
States in proportion to the aggre-
gate business of each.''

time, and the money to be used for
road building, bridges, and other
public improvements. The States
would be required to provide a sink
ing fund to back the loan.
The Agricultural currency" would
be issued as follows:
On cotton in warehouses when
cotton is selling for less than Is
cents pound, middling basis.
On corn in warehouses and ele-
vators when standard grade corn is
selling for less than so cents a
bushel.
On wheat in warehouses or ele-
vators when standard wheat is sell
ing for less than 81 a bushel.
Any person owning land, or far
mer raising cotton, wheat, or corn,
upon presenting a deposit certificate
showing that he has deposited one or
more bales OF cotton or jtwenty or
more bushels of corn or wheat in a
warehouse, may under the Henry
plan receive from the bank one-half
of the value of his cotton, corn or
wheat. The deposit certificate would
serve as prior lien against the COM
modify held. The currency issued
would be retired as fast as the crop
was sold.
Attacks Reserve Board Powers.
Before the Henry substitute was
presented Representative Buckley
of Ohio attacked the powers pro-
posed to be granted to the Federal
Reserve Board. He spoke more than
an hour. He read extracts from
w So
DOM" to show that powers were be-
ing intrusted to the Federal Reserve
Board, such as Mr.. Wilson thought
dangerous to intrust to any set of
men.
The impression which some mem
bers obtained was that the Ohioan
was making the point that, while
the President took one position in
"The New Freedom" the bill to
which the President had given his
support contained grants of power
contrary to Mr.. Wilson's teachings.
Chairman Glass asked for the copy
Of the book from which Mr.. Buckley
was reading, and read other extracts,
which, he said, showed that the
Presidents attitude on the bill was
the same as that taken by him in
he NEW t IGSuOul.
Representative Korbly of Indiana
spent nearly an hour combating the
position taken by Mr.. Buckley. He
challenged the assertion that the bill
proposed to vest the Reserve Board
with abnormal or dangerous powers.
Mr.. Buckley had dwelt with en-
phasis on the provision which would
vest the Federal Reserve Board with
power to suspend for a period not
exceeding thirty days any reserve re-
Quirement specified in the act. Mr..
KOrbly replied that this was a pow
er that the authors of the measure
did not anticipate would have to be
utilized often, the bill was so safe
guarded. He pointed out that the
reserve power was not possessed by
the Controller of the Currency under
the national banking laws but had
not been exercised more than twice
in nearly half a century
Mr.. Buckley did not present any
alternative plan, but he did suggest
the elimination of this grant of pow
er and the Substitution of a clause
imposing a graduated penalty on any
bank falling below the reserve re-
quirements. To this suggestion Mr..
KOrbly replied that this seemed to
him to be almost analogous to con-
structing a splendid boulevard and
then littering it with brickbats to
worry the motorists.
No material advance was made at
today's session. The question in
