east of here.
General Trevino Immediately or

CHECK CLEARING
SYSTEM RADICAL
Omaha Banker Says New Plan
of Federal Reserve May
Revolutionize Credits.
SORT OF AN EXPERIMENT

The new check clearing system, in
augurated Saturday by banks which
are members of the federal reserve
system. may revolutionize the credit
systems of all banks concerned, &C
cording to Luher Drake, president of
the Merchants National bank Of
Omaha.
THE new plan is a radical one, and
more or less in the nature OF all ex-
pertinent. We don't know how it will
work out, or whether it will be perma
nent." said Mr.. Drake.
THE new check clearing plan is in
tended to make the exchange charge
for handling all checks uniform at
~ cents for every transaction
handled. That is, whether check
calls for Is cents many thousands
of dollars, the charge made to the
bank or writer of the check for max
ing the transfer of funds between the
banks concerned will be lEa cents.
Old System Abolished.
This does away with the old ex-
change system, whereby amounts of
from 10 cents up, depending upon the
amount Of the transaction, were
charged for handling the check.
In addition to this change, de-
ferred credits system is now put into
operation by the federal reserve
board
Suppose, for instance, an Omaha
wholesale house deposits $4,000 in
checks with us, drawn on banks from
all over the west.
We send these checks to the clear
ing house, where, instead of giving us
immediate credit for the amount, they
send the checks on to the banks upon
which they are drawn, and do not
tender us credit until they are hon
ored.
Would Charge Interest.
"Of course, if the banks can't get
credit for these checks until they
come back, possibly in from four to
ten days, it will be difficult for the
banks to credit the wholesaler with
the amount deposited without charg-
ing interest to cover the period of
time required for the bank itself to
receive credit for the checks.
81 believe that the local banks will
each have to work out this problem
for themselves. Nothing definite has
been done yet, because we don't know
just what the new system is going to
do to US"
