THE NEW BANKING BILL

Saturday Evening Post: The Ad-
ministration banking bill fairly meets
the fundamental conditions Of sound
bank reform. 1t concentrates bank re-
serves and makes such reserves legally
available in q pinch-as they should be.
Ii makes commercial paper a strictly
liquid asset by authorizing the Federal
reserve institutions to rediscount it at
all times aud to draw upon the credit
of the Government if necessary for that
purpose.
This feature does away with the pres
ent dependence of city banks upon stock
exchange loans for secondary reserve,
and will tend to make money cheaper
for legitimate business purposes; also.
it insures against any such collapses OF
credit as occurred in 1898 and 1907.
The bill recognizes the indubitable fact
that paper arising out Of legitimate
com mercial transactions is the soundest
basis for credit currency. II knits the
nhn ShoocAJ eOkethC ouN pun,
the Treasury into a rational relation.
ship with them.
The chief difference between this bill
aud the Aldrich plan is, not that the
bill confers broaier functions upon the
district or regional reserve institution;
but that it places control over the bauk'
ing system in q different quarter.
Broadly speaking. the new machinery
the Aldrich plan proposed for the pur
pose of knitting the banks together and
t. the Government would be largely
controlled by the banks themselves
while the new machinery this bill pro
poses for the same purpose will be COT
trolled almost wholly by the Govern
ment.
Under the Aldrich plan the banks
themselves might injuriously inf ate Oh
contract credit. Under the administra'
ton plan a board. seven of whose nins
members are appointed by the President
might do the same thing. There is the
chief difference. We have NO doubI
that the Administration bill. if substan.
TALLY enacted into law, will effect a very
beneficial banking reform.

INCOME TAX AMENDMENTS

The principal amendment that hiss been
agreed upon in the Senate TO the income tax
bill is the one which handicaps bachelorhood
and encourages the married state. A man
having neither wife nor minor children to
support, must pay income tax on all of his in
come above $1,000. A man who il married is
allowed $1,000 exemption On account OF the
support of his wife. and he is allowed also a
deduction Of 500 for each minor child living
with him and dependent upon him. Thus. a
married man having q wife and two minor
chilli living at home and dependent upon
him, will be allowed an exemption Of $4,000
above the etated limit, so that he will be re-
quired to pay the income tax on the excess of
his income over 5000. Bachelors pay on all
excess over 5000.
The distinction Is one which Is generally
recognized in European practice, where the
income tar has for many years been q regular
source Of income to the governments. In
France the Law Of 1890 exempts altogether
from the income tax parents of seven children
when they are subject to an income tax of
not more than 10 francs. And later laws
make special attachments for large families in
the case Of taxpayers who pay small house
rents.
In Prussia an abatement Of 50 marks is
made for every child under IA, in all cases
5000 mark,. The Prussian law of 1906 gives
a deduction of so marks for each child, or
other dependent; but provides that three
children shall entitle the taxpayer to a reduc-
tion of one grade, and five children two grades,
a grade representing the different rates Of
taxation.
In Great Britain deduction on account OF
minor children were allowed in the FIRST In
come tax laws. 179s-1S16, levied on account
of the Napoleonic wars. Afterwards these
deductions were abolished, because they led
to such startling increases in large families"
but later were restored under stricter regula-
lions. At present the British income tax pro-
vides that where the total income is not over
$500, a deduction of s5p for each child may
be made. These figures we obtain from the
Springfield, Mass, Republican.
1t will be noted that the deductions made
on account of wife and minor children in the
amendments as now proposed in the income
tax are very much greater than those made in
Great Britain, France and Germany. But
since they favor the marital relation, they will
doubtless be approved by the country. Il Is
stated that the large reductions are mad be-
cause of the greater cost Of supporting wife
and children in this country than in France.
Germany or Great Britain.

THE sTAR-sPANGLED BANNER

Next year will be the centenary OF the writ
ing BY Francis Scott Key Of the National an-
them. The Star-Spanglel Banner" II was
this banner floating from old Fort McHenry.
near Baltimore, during the British attack IN
1914. which inspired Key to write the great
anthem. As he witnessed from a British ship
the floating Of that banner. 1t il stated that
the historic flag Of old Fort MeHenry, which
inspired the ode, SIS one Of the very few OF
the Ma ional flags having Il stripes as well a.
Is stare, being issued at the time just preced-
ing the Standardization Of the number OF
stripes as 49, But, as the New York Tri-
pune points out, this is a complete error. At
first the idea 10 making the National hag was
that the stripes could be increased, one for
| each State. jus, as the stars are increased one
for each State. The original flag had Is
stripes and Is stars. When two States were
aided, a Gag Of Is stripes and IL stars was
adopted on January Is. 1894, by Congress,
and this flag was in constant use until July Z.
1918. As our New York contemporary points
out. That period OF more than % years com.
prised the war with France, the second war
with Great Britain. the Florida campaigns,
the Louisiana Purchase, the Lewis and CLARK
expedition. and the Barbary war. II is alb
surd to say that in all that stirring time very
few National fage were made.
1t was found, however, that il would b.
impossible to add stripes TO the flag for eact
State as stars were added when States were
admitted to the Union, sincs the flag would
be unwisldly, and so on April IA. 1918, a Law
was enacted making the number Of stripes Is
as originally enacted, and adding a star t,
the field on the fourth day Of July after tn,
admission Of any new State. That has beer
the form Of the flag ever since. until now W,

for their seems no likelihood at this time O
any further additions to the number Of tn,
States.
But. since the flag Of ID stripes was so lon.
in use and was carried through strenuous wa
times, it is not likely that the number o
such flags is small. 1t is quite to be suppose,
that the Identical flag floating from old For
