CLUB DISCUSSES
PHASES Of The
BANKING METHODS

The Clearing House System and
Federal Reserve Banks" were discussed
at the regular meeting of the Fort
nightly Literary club at the home of
Attorney and Mrs. E. Aug. Runge on
Friday evening The topic was pre-
sented by R, B. Griggs and the discus
sion was led by Rev. e. c. Henke.
The night was very stormy and the at
tendance was not large.
Mr. Griggs said the clearing house
was frat established in London in IT'S
and in New York in 1853. The clear
ing house is where the banks bring their
checks and drafts that they may be
exchanged and in this way accounts
settled. Were it not for this system
every bank would have to send man
to every other bank i'll the city, the
clearing house, therefore, saving much
emery and time.
The clearing house establishes certain
rules and these may be of such a nature
that some Of the banks must close and
at times of stress weak ones may be
aided For the great volume of busi
ness transacted in the world but little
cash is used. Most of the transactions
are on checks and drafts.
The speaker took up the subject of
she power of the money interests and
bowed what they they could sometimes
do. The panic of 1907 was created by
the New York b 4nks and in other
caseH they have had depressing in
fluence on finance.
To prevent so much of the money of
the country finding it's way into New
York, the federal banking law was
passed during the present admlnistra-
ton. Under the law federal banks
have been established in certain large
cities and these retain much of the
money that formerly found it's way in
to New York. The country is divided
into sections and in this way the bulk
of the money cannot get into
| q few banks. The northern boundary
of Sank County is the dividing line be-
tween the federal bank in Chicago and
Minneapolis. The speaker told of the
fight in congress and how La Toilette
opposed the bill because majority of
! the board in these banks were not from
among men not bankers and because
the interlocking directOrates had not
been abolished. These two evils are
being overcome. Mr.. Griggs discussed
the law in detail and many questions
were answered.
Rev. E. C. Henke led in the discus
sion and told how many of the banks
had opposed the law but that practical
ly all of the national banks had come
under it's provisions. The law does not
effect private or state banks, only ma
tional banks depositing money with the
federal reserve banks and doing bust
ness with them. The federal reserve
bank does not do business with firms or
individuals, outside of national
banks. There are some objections to
the law. but it was the best that could
be passed at the time. The work of
the clearing house has been greatly re-
duced by the federal reserve banks.
The next meeting of the club will be
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs E. j. Bat,
ties when the boy problem will come up
for discussion.
