ters of the American Revolution on

OPPOSES BIDS BY BANKS
. FOR GOVERNMENT FUNDS
W. T. GaIIiher Objects to
Treasury Plan of Distrib-
uting Deposits.

William T. Galliher. president OF the
American National Bank Of Washington,
today told the House committee on eX-
penditures in the Treasury Department
that banks should not be allowed to bid
for government deposits. as it would
give the larger institutions a great ad-
vantage over the smaller ones. The
committee Is considering the feasibility
Of changing the national depository laws.
Says Deposits Should Be Limited.
Mr.. GalIiher declared that government
deposits should be limited to each bank
and distributed equitably throughout the
United States and that all banks should
be allowed to participate in government
deposits.
He said that the title government de-
pository" is a great asset to a banking
institution and that the banks SO honored
are glad to pay interest on the deposits
of the government.
A loss of $40, $4,000 that the government
might have received in interest on idle
funds in the Treasury since 1905 and a
much greater loss on funds deposited
without interest in national banks will
be described in a report soon to be made
to the House favoring the adoption of
the Cooke bill. for compulsory deposit
law.
Possible Earnings.
Figures will show. according to members
Of the committee. that the government
might earn from s2,OOO,OOO to 100000
a year on it's idle cash. The proposed law
would compel banks to bid for deposits,
would limit the amount any bank might
receive and compel all banks to pay in
terest on government deposits
The report OF the committee is expected
to show that under a per cent interest
law the government could have earned
nearly S15O,OO0OlU since 1886 on idle funds
in the Treasury and money deposited in
national banks.
