SHORT SUMMARY
OF BILLS DETAILS
New Currency System Makes Impor-
tant Changes in Handling of Re-
serves and in Providing
Rural Credit

Washington, December 22-The new
bill affecting the currency. banking AMI
finances of the country which both
branches of Congress prepared to pass
before adjournment tonight and
goes before President Wilson for
his signature, is one of the most
farreaching measures relating to
finance that has been enacted in many
years. The magnitude of the subject the
diversity of interests affected, and the
length of the debates in both branches
of Congress, has made it difficult for
the ordinary observer to follow the
changes and grasp the essentials of this
highly tenchnical measure in its i'm
portant bearings on money! finance
banking and the entire range of fiscal
subjects. public and private, which it
affects. With a view, therefore, of pre-
senting succinctly and in nontechni-
cal language, an epitome of the salient
features of the &measure as finally
framed, the following summary is given
of the bill as whole and of its prin-
cipal details.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1913-12-23
First Important Step

Generally speaking, the first steps to
be taken to bring into operation the
nations new financial system will be
| through an organization committee of
the Secretary of the Treasury, Secre-
| tary of Agriculture and Secretary of
the Currency. Banks have 60 days with
in which to file their applications for
membership in the new system; and
one years time is allowed before the
government will compel the dissolution
of any national bank that refuses to
! Join.
! The new law Will make little direct
change in the operation of the pres
ent national banks, except to allow
them to loan a certain amount of their
funds upon farm mortgages. Its chief
purpose is to add new piece of ma
chinery to the banking system that
will take up the slack" during the
| changing business conditions of each
year; that will give the banks a place
to quickly convert their assets into
cash in time OF need and that Will
bring out new federal currency when
| 1t is needed, and retire it when money
becomes cheap"
Banks are now required to keep a
certain percentage of their deposits as
reserves" part in cash in their own
vaults and part of which may be re-
| deposited in the banks OF New York,
| Chicago, St Louis and other desig-
| mated cities. In times of sudden fnan-
cial demands, when banks have loaned
up to the full limit of their resources,
these reserves furnish little relief, be-
cause If they are paid out to meet de-
mands, the, banks are left in a pre-
| carious condition.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1913-12-23
Provides Circulation

The basic principle of the new law
is TO get these reserve funds out into
circulation when necessary, without
lessening the safety of any bank and
to provide a place to which local banks
may rush in a crisis and get cash for
the prime commercial paper" they hold
in their vaults
This is to be accomplished through
a chain OF regional reserve banks, or
reservoirs of reserves" in which all
banks shall deposit stated part of the
money they are required to hold as re-
serves. Under the new system, when a
financial furry comes, the banks can
take commercial paper. such as notes,
drafts and bills of exchange, to these
reservoirs" and secure the use of their
own reserves, or If necessary even the
reserve of other banks, by depositing
this security.
The new regional banks will receive
about one-half of the bank reserves
OF the country. They. in turn. will be
permitted to loan back to the banks
all but 80 per cent of these reserves
SO that in case of emergency. millions
of cash can be brought out into cir
culations quickly. The banks will have
to nay for these loans. however, as
individuals have to pay for a loan from
any local bank; and this charge Is
expected to prevent the too free use
of the reserves held by the regional
banks
new form of paper currency Is also
provided for to come out In case of
emergency, and which is expected to
go back into the hands of the gov
ernment when times are normal These
treasury notes will be printed by
the government, and issued through
each regional reserve bank. and will
