ing checks upon any of their members

ing checks upon any of their members
Member banks may be charged, how
ever, for collections through another
reserve bank. and the amount Of such
charges are to be fixed by the federal
reserve board
This seems to indicate that the reserve
banks are TO become clearing houses for
their districts, the business of collection
in each region to become the simple pro-
cess of depositing by all member banks
Of all of their items on other member
banks to their credit in their reserve
bank. AS far as member banks are con-
cerned this would do away with the
necessity of supporting the expense Of
the present clearing house associations.
By far the greater part Of the expense
of collection Is due to the cost Of hand
could be probably cut down considerably
by a cooperation between the reserve
banks for the care of collections be-
tween member banks in the various re-
gions. Furthermore, the federal reserve
board may act as q national clearing
house for the reserve banks. II 1t so
deems fit.
A desire was shown in the earlier
stages of consideration of the new law
to require the collection at par Of the
checks of all member banks in all parts
of the country. This was vigorously OPP
posed by the country bank, country
bankers declaring that many Of them
received much of their income from col
lection charges. Their objections were
successful. AS finally passed, the act
compeis the receipt at par by the fed
eral reserve banks of only those checks
drawn upon its own member banks and
upon the members of another reserve
bank, if remitted by the reserve bank
of that district.

The NEW BANKING LAW

By Frederic ]. Haskin.

If the federal reserve board decides
for the fullest measure Of development
possible under the new law Of the func-
tions Of the reserve banks relating to COL
lections and check cleaI1ngs. 1t may trans
pire that non-member banks will find
themselves at a significant disadvantage.
Such a policy might induce many of the
large state banks and trust companies to
cast their destinies with the system.
The new law provides: Every federal
reserve bank shall receive on deposit at
par from member banks or from federal
reserve banks checks and drafts drawn
upon any of its depositors. and when re-
mitted by a federal reserve bank, checks
and drafts drawn by any depositor in any
other federal reserve bank or member
bank upon funds to the credit of said de-
positor in said reserve bank or member
bank Nothing herein contained shall
be construed as prohibiting a member
bank from charging it's actual expense in
CURED in collecting and renting funds,
or for exchange sold to its patrons. The
federal reserve board shall, by rule, fix
the charges to be collected by the MEM
Der banks from its patrons whose checks
are cleared through the federal reserve
bank, and the charge which may be i'm
posed for the service OF clearing or col
bank"
Further. it is provided that the fed
eral reserve board shall make and pro-
mulgate fro m

and may at its discretion exercise the
functions of a clearing house for such
federal reserve banks. or may designate
a federal reserve bank to exercise such
functions. and may also require each such
bank to exercise the functions of a clear
ing house for its member banks"
These provisions open the way for the
organization Of a national system OF re-
gional clearing houses. the whole system
to be capped by q national clearing house.
and with this accomplishment the reduc-
