1t Will Work Out Better For
Country Banks, Says Ohio
Congressman

W IITH the signing of the new
" currency bill by President
" Wilson the second biggest
piece of business Of the
Democratic administration is out of
the way, and, as in the case Of the
new tariff law, the country must wait
to see how it works out. While conf
his advisers are no less interested than
the country at large in awaiting the
sequels to these epochal events in our
political history, in seeing their re-
suits in practical demonstration.
The next step is the naming by the
president of the federal reserve board
Of seven. The secretary Of the treas
ury and the new comptroller of the cur
rency will be members, and the other
five will be chosen from private life.
President Wilson is credited with
desiring Senator John w. Weeks Of
Massachusetts to serve on the federal
reserve board.
The indications are that in spite of
his declaration that he would decline
membership on the board an effort will
be made to induce James J. Hill to be-
come the head Of that organization,
position that will carry with it the
title Of governor.
Wilson Happy and Optimistic.
Many months hard work was put in
by the trainers Of the bill, and the
president in his address upon the occa-
sion Of afixing his signature to the
measure paid especial tributes to Rep
resentative Carter Glass and Senator

reflections on the great tariff bill which

prospective member banks in financial
centers throughout the country will be
carefully considered.
The only cities in which the capital
and surplus of national banks are in
excess Of S25 100000, with the approx
mate capital and surplus of such banks
located in them, are these:
Boston. over $45,000,o00; New York
city. over $249,OO0,0OO; Philadelphia.
over $65OO0, 600; Pittsburgh, over $751;
100000: Chicago, over $69,000,000; St.
Louis. over $50 100000. and San Fran
cisco, over $43 100000.
Philadelphia is a strong candidate for
selection as regional reserve city.
Many western men have contended
that there should be two regional
cities on the Pacific coast. San Fran
cisco would undoubtedly be one Of
them. but there would be keen rival
ry between Portland and Seattle. 9th
ers believe that Minneapolis or St.
Paul should be chosen as a regional
center to accommodate the region be-
tween Chicago and the Pacific coast.

Figures Out Results Of Law.


Representative Robert j. Buckley Of
Ohio, a member of the house banking
and currency committee, says the new
system will work out better for the
ley, the country banks old reserves
will pay the new and leave a surplus
Of $4OO00,O00.
He says that in three years-thirty-
six months after the new act is in
effect-the federal reserve banks will
have in total assets, cash $46O,215.OOO
and loans Sill, $4,000.
At that time, asserts Bulkley, their
capital would be $53.445,O 900. and their
! deposits $56S. 900, totaling the same
as the assets of course. This is as
Stunning that $14O,OOO,OOO in govern
ment deposits will be withdrawn from
the United States treasury and be de-
| posted in the banks.
! Mr. Buckley has endeavored to ex.
plain how the new currency law will
work out without disturbing business
All the changes he works out in de

the country banks at $27O, 451 900 an(
