OLD SOCK BANKS

Last week the startling statement
Sas made that money being withheld
for circulation amounted to S275,-
DOo 900, or $2.75 per capita. Had this
statement been made by any other
person than the comptroller of the
currency, it would have been ques-
Toned, but coming from him it is un-
1ouhtedly correct.
What becomes of all the money ?
. Where it is?
This is an interesting subject for
speculation. 1t is certainly not in the
pockets Of the unemployed. 1t is prob
ably not in the pockets of those who
possess it, though some of it is likely
20 he in that old "sock" bank and
much of it is locked up in strong
.o0xes in bank vaults and elsewhere
But wherever it is, if this amount
'of money were put into circulation
It would loosen up things. Prices
would be lowered and employment
would be furnished those who are now
atile
Withheld from circulation, these
" cwo hundred and scventy-five millior
dollars are not earning any interest
they are absolutely of no benefit t.
anybody, and therefore as if they hat
never been coined and placed in circu
,atIUn--void of any benefit in the af
