BANKING SYSTEM :,
 OF COUNTRY WILL BE REFORMED SOON

Washington, Dec. 23-Among the l principal changes in the currency sys- tenn which appear under the Glass (Continued on Page Two) Owen bill, which will become a law tomorrow, the banking and currency system of the country will be reor- ganized within the next 12 months. The system is intended to lend e1as- ticity to the currency and to prevent financial panics.
 t Between eight and twelve federal reserve banks will be created as banks of issue and rediscount.
 An emergency law is provided which is intended to expand and contract the currency with the needs of business.
 The outstanding national bank. note circulation will be gradually retired within 20 years and the governm ent taken over and paid off by the federal reserve banks.
 By providing the country for the 0rst time with open discount mark ct, the system is expected to reduce the volume of ttca1I 1oans'' on the New a larger volume of money for ordinary commercial needs.
 It is expected to stabilize interest rates throughout the country and in various seasons.
 The circulating notes to be issued
  the individual endorsing bank, the reserve bank and finally by the gov ernment.
 Branch banks are to be established abroad to facilitate the handling of exports and imports.
 At the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury, government funds are to be deposited with the new fed era1 reserve banks and the control which the Secretary of the Treasury now exercises over these funds is re- tained.
 All national banks in the country are required to join the new. system within a year and to signify their in tention of doing so within 60 days. State banks and trust companies are permitted to join.
 An organization committee consist ing of the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Agriculture and the Comptroller of the Currency will divide the country into reserve districts not less than eight nor more than twelve and establish in each of these districts a federal reserve bank.
 The present system of keeping bank reserves is changed. Instead of coun- try banks keeping part of their. re- serves in other banks and central re- serve cities, all banks which are mem bers of the system will be required to keep a part of their reserves with the federal reserve banks and the re- mainder, at their option, either with these banks or in their own vaults.
