Development OF
CLEARING HOUSE

Bankers throughout America hold
the name Of George Simmons Coe
in grateful memory because of the
part he played in developing the clear
ing house system to it's present high
state of efficiency. To-day marks the
centenary Of the birth Of that emin-
ent banker and fnancier, as he was
born on March 27, 1917, in Newport,
RI At tine age of seventeen he en-
tered the banking business in the
early thirties he removed to New
York and soon became q prominent
figure in the financial world, first as
vice president and later as president
of the American Exchange National
Bank. For nearly forty years he was
one Of the leading financiers of the
New World. He died at Englewood,
N. j., in 1896.
It was as one Of the founders Of
the New York Clearing House, the
PIONEER institution on this side of the
Atlantic, and as the originator Of
clearing house certificates, that Coe is
now chiefly remembered.
The clearing house idea originated
in London in IT'S, when a building
in Lombard street was set apart for
the use of bankers, in which they
might exchange drafts, bills and secu-
rifles and thereby save labor and cur
tail the amount of floating cash re-
quisites to meet the settlement of the
different banking houses, if effected
singly. 1t was not until 1863 that
the clearing house plan was adopted
in America, New York, taking the
lead. Formerly each bank employ
ed a man to go around every day and
collect all checks and drafts drawn
upon it by other banks in the city.
The parctice Of carrying large sums
Of specie and negotiable paper about
was so very inconvenient and so
fraught with risk that New York
bankers were driven to adopt the Lon
don plan, and arrange central meet
ing place where representatives Of
the different banks could transact
such business with greater expedi-
ton and safety.
Coe played a prominent part in de-
veloping the New York Clearing
House to a point Of real efficiency,
and he is credited with having origin
ated the system of clearing house GER
tif1cates although the credit for this
achievement has also been accorded
to F. w. Edmonds, a cashier Of the
Mechanics Bank of New York.
The clearing house certificate mark
ed an important development in
banking procedure. By the Coe sys-
tenn a bank threatened with a run on
its funds, and unab1es to convert its
securities into ready cash without sus-
tanning great loss, could appeal to
other members to come to the rescue
by issuing clearing house certificates
good at any bank in the association.
The New York Clearing House was
SO successful from the start that Bos-
ton adopted the idea in 1855, and since
then clearing houses have been es-
.tablished in all the larger cities. The
clearings Of the New York Institution
for the year ending September Goth
last reached the unprecedented point
of $147.1so.709,461, and the average
daily clearings were $484,147,071. The
clearings of other cities are small in
comparison, those Of Chicago for the
same period being $19,129, 900; Of
Philadelphia, $12,o18,127,000 and Of
Boston $10,180,120,000.

TAREFF COMMISSION SCIENTIFIC

The Tariff Commission nominations
offer Illuminating evidence Of the spir-
It that might be expected to govern
President Wilson's administrative ap-
pointments IL he were free to ignore
or defy considerations of partisan ex-
,pediency. All the nominees to t.
Tariff Commission are men of energy,
integrity and independence Of judg-
ment. The Commission as a whole
compares very favorably in force OF
character and practical efficiency with
the interstate Commerce Commission
at its best. The chairman, Prof.
Taussig, Is one Of the most distin-
guished tariff authorities in the
world. and is far and away the, most
eminent tariff authority in the United
States. Seekers after exorbitant tar
fr favors will revile Prof. Taussig as a
theorist. He is theorist who will
very clearly see through the crooked
devices by which greedy interests
have hitherto sought to delude Con-
gress. He is also a practical man
who knows the details Of tariff max
ing here and abroad and is excellently
qualified to At our tariff into the sys-
tenn OF world commercial relations.
And this Is q vital need for a peo-
pie that has emerged from Isolation
The Republicans have criticized the
Commission on the ground that there
is no regular Republican on it. With
one possible exception, neither is there
a. regular Democrat on the Commits
sion. In any event the criticism
comes with bad grace from party
that has maintained that the making
! OF tariff is scientific matter Strict
partisanship will not mix with
science: still less will striat bi-partis-
anship. Nothing in the world could
be more futile than a tariff commits
sion composed of good Democrats and
good Republicans, each ardently de-
Tending a party orthodoxy already OBJ

kindergarten Trainino.


Tho increasing growth of kindergar-
tens in this country has recently been
remarked by the United States commits
s1oner OF education, who said: with
in the last six or seven years there has
been more progress in the establish
ment OF kindergartens in cities, towns
and industrial villages Of this country
than in any previous period Of equal
length. This is especially true of
kindergartens supported by public
school funds. This progress has been
largely due to the activities of the Ma
tiona1 Kindergarten association"
The kindergarten course secures to
the child an extra year Of education,
and as the boys and girls of this coun-
try average only little over five years
in school the value of this additional
training cannot be osaEoStimAtad

FARM LOANS AT 5 PER CENT.

The announcement has been made
that the farmer will be able to borrow
money from the new Farm Loan
banks at FIVE per cent It will be a
boon to the agricultural industry If
money becomes available at this rate.
It seems almost too much to hope. 1t
is apparently expected that the public
is going to take 4 liz per cent. land
bonds at par, leaving one-half of one
per cent. for expenses OF banking.
All depends on the attitude Of the
public. There are already many ap-
plications for these bonds. But
standard railroad bonds are now SELL
ing at about 1l2 per cent. basis,
while excellent pubic utility securi-
ties can be, had on q five per cent.
basis. The question pines whether
the public win accepta farm loan
bond at 4>1-2, when it can get five
for mortgage on electric light, tele-
phone. trolley, power. and other
plants.
This new enterprise will be a blow
to many lending companies that have
been putting out money to farmers at
from eight per cent UP. Many peo-
pie who were penniless> a few Year,
ago have grown rich on this business.
But 1t looks as il their harvest were
drawing to a close.
There has been a carnival Of specu-
lation in this form Of investment,
Poorly organized companies would sell
on loans without proper securities
Then when the borrower would fail
to pay, the lender became discourag-
ed In many cases the lending COM
pany would buy back the mortgage
for q small sum. The farm busi-
ness would look up, the borrower
would pay <up, and the lending COM
pany had made an enormous percent
age.
OF course q great many Of these
lending companies have been honestly
conducted. But they are moneymak-
Ing concerns. Their profit has been
added to cost, Of food production.
Even If the farmers have to float
loans on s per cent. basis to the
public, paying LIZ per cent. to the
bank, It viii be great gain.
