When Salmon P. Chase Agitated the
Present National Banking Law
Comparatively Few Became
Interested in Subject
BY HOLLAND

New York, August 22.-(Specia1) "A.
Platt Andrew. Jr., who was assistant Sec
retary of the treasury in the administra
tion of President Taft and who is now
professor of economics at Harvard, was
quoted recently as having said that the
national banking law led to the greatest
in hundred years. Professor Andrew
seems to be apprehensive that the radical
change In the national banking system
which will be caused If the bill now before
Congress should become a law will tend to
impair. If not to destroy. banking sys-
tenn which fundamentally does, in his
opinion, represent the highest science of
banking formulated into law which Is pos
sible for these times.
Nevertheless. many bankers I'm this city
In informal conversation since the agita-
tion for reformed banking system was
followed by the drafting of the bill now
before Congress nave said that one very
great benefit has followed all this agita-
tion and Is consequent upon the decision
now in progress in Congress on the bank
inging and currency bill.
Some of these who until recently were
the survivors of the discussions and agi-
tations which were caused by the recon-
mendation of the Secretary of the Treas
ury in President Lincoln's administration,
Salmon P. Chase, In support of a plan for
the creation of a national banking system
used to speak with some aston.snment
when. talking reminiscently about the leg
islative activities which resulted in Great
ing the national banking law Of the fact
that discussion at that time was almost
entirely political and was confined for the
most part to state bankers, some private
bankers. members of Congress and the
Secretary of the Treasury.

Little Popular Interest

Although the plan recommended by Sec
retary Chase would, 1t was feared. result
In the practical obliteraton of state banks
and would, it was declared, be certain to
do that il state bank circulation were
taxed out of existence, vet there was very
little popular interest in this subject. at
least as compared with the interest which
is now taken throughout the United
States.
Bankers who had part in the discussion
of 1862 of whom the late George s. Coe
of this city was a type, We're accustomed
to- say many years after the national
banking law was passed that the reason
why people as whole took little interest
In the proposition to establish national
banking system was, first, that their at
tention was absorbed by the excitement
and apprehension occasioned by the civil
war and, next, because there was feel
ing that national banking system, to-
gether with the issuing of legal tender
notes commonly called "greenbacks,' =
would provide the country with all the
currency that was needed and would make
certain renewed development of the great
natural resources of the north and west.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-08-23
Secretary Chase's Purpose

If the assertion attributed to Professor
Andrew correctly represents his view, then
Secretary Chase builded wiser than he
knew when re recommended the national
banking system. His principal, If not his
only, purpose was the creation of a cer-
tain and yet absolutely artificial market
for government bonds. He was not ignor-
ant of the fact that currency issued upon
bonds as the basis for its credit was not
an elastic currency. AS an old-time DEM
ocrat and as director in one of the leading
banks of Cincinnati, he did have some
misgivings, constitutional and banking,
respecting the soundness of the plan
which he recommended.
Yet he looked upon it as war measure.

stoned by the enormous cost of maintain

Starting Slowly

| After he retired from the treasury de-
| partment and returned to the federal SEM
ate John Sherman stated that although
expense of the war, since they occasioned
very gerat depreciation in the market
price of gold, nevertheless the issuing OF
them and the establishment OF national
banking system proved. in fact, to be the
turning point of the war. These were the
TWO influences which made possible very
great development of those natural re-
sources of the United States whose exist
ence justified David A. Wells in writing
the now historic pamphlet in the early
days of the war in which he attempted
to prove that the natural resources of the
north and the west were sufficient to pro-
vide the means for meeting the expenses
of the war even though IL were carried on
ten years or longer.
The people undoubtedly welcomed the
greenbacks and were ready to support the
national banks, at first chiefly because the
national bank provided abundant currency
which passed current everywhere from
Maine to California since behind it stood
the credit and faith of the government.
But the bankers moved slowly and II
was not until year or two after the ma
tional bank act was passed that state
banks in any number gave up their state
charters and took out national charters.
One of the reasons for doing this was the
evidence that the people throughout the
north and west were warmly in favor Of
the national banking system.

The New Agitation

Bankers here, especially those who have
been prominently associated with the
American Bankers association speak of
the intellectual stimulus which has been
oeeasioned all over the United States since
1907, through the agitations and discus
sions in facor of reformation of some fea-
lures of the existing national banking sys-
TEN. The labors of the national monetary
commission, the discussions at the annual
gatherings of the American Bankers asso-
citation and the work done by the associa-
tion of business men in favor of reforming
our national banking SYSTEM chiefly for
the purpose of irfusing elasticity into our
currency, have been OF absorbing interest
to the people.
That Is regarded as one of the best, II
not the chief, Influence which followed the
passage of the temporary law that pro-
vided for issues of emergency currency
up to s500,000,000 in case an emergency
arose. The provisions of that law have
been discussed everywhere. It's a law
held in reserve not vet called upon for ac-
ton The chances are that 1t will not be
utilized--for there will be no occasion for
such use. But the knowledge that the
Secretary of the Treasury has discretion

tions as much as s50o,000,000 of currency
served instantly to put an end to the de-
mand for currency. If there were to be

Of YOUNG
HAS BAD EFFECT

Los ANGELES, Aug. 25.-It is
the opinion of many people that
the death of Bull Young, killed
by knockout punch delivered by
Jess willard Friday night. fol-
lowing as il does SO closely upon
that of Champion Luther McCarty,
has sounded the death knelI of
boxing in California. The bout
between Leach Cross and Johnny
Dundee, scheduled for Labor day,
has been postponed indefinitely.
Willard, who is broken-hearted
over the affair, is still under ar
rest, awaiting the verdict of the
coroner's jury in regard to the
death of Young.
Arthur Pelkey, reputed heavy
weight champion. has called off
his bout with Charley Miller,
scheduled to take place in the
Vernon arena, and may never
fight again. He is much upset
over the death of Young, who was
a warm personal friend of his.
Then, too, the tragic outcome of
his battle with Luther McCarty is
likely preying on his nerves.

on the affair.

FISH WILL HAVE TO PAY
IF THEY WANT TO RIDE.

Harrisburg, Nov. S.-The general
passenger agent of the Pennsylvania
railroad has notified the department
of fisheries of Pennsylvania, that un-
der the provisions of the public SER
vice. commission law it will not be
legal for the railroad to accord the
state of Pennsylvania the usual
courtesy in the matter of transport
ing free cans of young fish in the
baggage cars of the passenger trains.
The fish are used for planting in the
streams, but the legislature has pro-
vided no money to pay for their
transportation.
The department of fisheries claims
that it is not engaged in competition
with any business interests and the
law referred to does not apply in this
case, that it is itself department of
public utility, whose duty and busi-
ness is to restock streams and wa
ters of Pennsylvania with fish.
The commission is requested to
take action at any early date and is
informed that if the practice of free
transportation be discussed it will
be impossible for the fish department
to transport fish for at least two
years or until the next legislature
makes provision in the way of an
appropriation.
