ply OF the notes Will be placed IN his
custody
Should a regional bank desire to
pay out more money than it's cash re-
sources will permit, the law provides
that it may put some of It's rediscount
ed commercial paper into the hands
of the federal reserve agent" and re-
ceived in return the new treasury
notes
For each note that 1t puts out into
circulation, the regional reserve bank
must set aside in gold 40 per cent Of
the value of the note as a guarantee
for its redemption. This gold, with
the commercial paper held by the
federal reserve agent" is the pro-
lection behind the new money; but
these notes will also be guaranteed by
the government and may be redeemed
in gold in the United States treasury.
Reserve Required.
Each regional bank, under the act,
must keep a reserve of 35 per cent Of
the deposits it has received, besides
the 40 per cent. gold reserve behind
the treasury notes it issues. If the
gold reserve behind the notes falls be-
low 40 per cent. a heavy tax is i'm
posed on the bank, which in turn adds
the tax to the rate it charges member
banks for rediscounts. This was de-
signed to stop an over-expansion Of
currency. In times of sudden stress
the federal reserve board can suspend
these reserve provisions, in order to
furnish quick relief to any commu-
nifty
Take Up Bonds. Z
None of the existing forms of cur
rency except the national bank notes
will be disturbed by the new law The
United States bonds, now used to Sc
cure the issue of national bank notes,
are to be taken up at the rate of $685.
100000 a year by the regional re-
serve banks and new treasury notes
or short term three per cent bonds
will take their place. National bank
currency is expected gradually TO re-
tire.
The federal reserve board will exer-
else final control over the entire op-
Grafton of the system. 1t can compel
one regional bank to loan to another
In time of need; can suspend all re-
strictions surroundings the reserves
which regional banks must hold, and
can remove directors Of regional re-
serve banks whenever it Is believed
necessary.
Banks in Control.
While the banks retain control OF
the boards of the regional reserve
banks, their connection with the fed
eral reserve board is only through
an advisory board is only though
an advisory council, made up of one
representative from each federal re-
serve district. This council will meet
in Washington to confer with the fed
eral reserve board ION general bust
ness conditions" and to make recon-
mendations and suggestions concern
ing discount rates, note issues, and re-
serve conditions
An important change in national
banking methods embraced in the new
law will permit all national banks ex-
cept those in New York. Chicago and
st. Louis to make direct loans on five
year farm mortgages up to % per cent.
of their capital and surplus, or up to
one-thfrd Of their time deposits.

MRS. EESL he STILL
Is P0SSESS0R or
FAMOUS OLD TABLET

Mrs. Fred Leslie is still the proud
possessor of the copper plate relic
which once marked the landing place
of Captain Cook in Hawaii-at least
she is the possessor of the relic so
far as the territorial officials are
aware, and probably will continue to
hold it unless the suit brought to re-
cover it is decided in the territory's
favor.
Assistant Attorney.general A. G..
Smith, who is handling the legal
phase of the affair for the territory,
admitted today the woman could not
be forced to reliRquish it unless the
Court decides it properly belongs to
the territory. High Sheriff William
Henry sought TO recover. it, at least
temporarily, and went to Mrs Leslie's
home at Kalihi last Saturday only to
have the door slammed in his face
for his effort He carried with him
only writ of repleyin, however, and
therefore had no authority to make a
search OF the premises or force a re-
stftution Of the plate.
