Complete Reform of Vast
Machinery of Finance Will
Be ACCOMPLISHED by Bill

A complete reform Of the vast and
complicated machinery of finance,
banking and currency will be accom-
plished by the bill.
It's fundamentals provide:
The issue Of currency, guaranteed by
the government, based upon notes and
bills representing commercial transac
lions, and backed by gold reserve.
The new currency is expected to con-
tract and expand to meet the varied
demands of trade.
The concentration q the bank reserves
of the country in regional institutions
capitalized by the banks of the country
and controlled by directors elected by the
banks
The creation of a market for the nego-
table commercial paper which forms the
bulk of the assets of the banks, where,
in times of stress those assets may be
easily and without loss transferred into
cash.
For Regional Banks.
The establishment of from eight to
twelve great regional banks throughout
the country which will issue currency,
rediscount paper, and centralize and
mobilize the reserves of the local banks.
4 The creation of federal reserve board
of seven members appointd by the Presi-
dent, with final powers of control and
supervision over the entire system.
In the foregoing general principles the
bill is practically the same that passed
the House. But in phraseology, and
more or less important details. hundreds
of changes have been made by the
Senate.
The Senate has retained, after con-
test. the House plan to have eaca
regional bank bank of banks" with
the directorate controlled by the MEM
Der banks. and the capital furnished BY
enforced subscription of national banks.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska aided
by the republicans, made an Intellectual
fight to make those institutions public
utility banks, owned by the public and
controlled by the government.
Stockholders Get Dividend.
Under the House bill the earnings of
the regional banks after paying per
cent dividends on the stock and estab-
fishing a 20 per cent surplus would have
and the government
The Senate has amended the bill so
that the stockholders shall receive q
per cent dividend, surplus fund of 40
per cent of the capital shall he estab-
lished and that the remainder of the
earnings shall be divided, one-half going
to the government as a franchise tax and
the remainder founding a depositors' in
surance fund" to reimburse depoSitorS in
failing member banks.
The Senate had .broadened materially
the character of the commercial paper
which will be eligible for rediscount and
which may be used q basis for cur
rency. Under the House bill only paper
maturing within ninety days was avail
able. but the Senate, after a contest.
broadened the provision to include per-
accommodate smaller banks in rural
communities which handle little short
time paper.
