RESERVE: BANKS
ARE PROFITABLE
Chicago Institution Announ-
ces it has made 1875 per
Cent During Past
Year.
MADE ON DISCOUNTS
Ninety per Cent of Earn
ing Goes to U. S. as
Franchise Tax.

Net earnings in 1920 amounted to 800
so, 749, or 100 per cent. are reported by
the federal reserve bank Of Chicago,
whose paid in capital is about $13.27G,-
coo. The earnings announced were be-
fore the deduction of the banks fran
elise tax, amounting to $1O,39i.4SO.
After the reserve banks accumulate a
100 per cent surplus and 6 per cent in
dividends is paid in annually on the
capital stock, sc per cent OF the net
profits remaining must be paid to the
government as franchise tax, the re-
naming 10 per cent being added to the
already existing surplus.
Large earnings are possible because
Of the ability of the federal reserve
bank to rediscount in large volume for
its member banks. due to needs of agri
culture, commerce and industry" says
Il statement of operations received
from the Chicago bank. But this
ability to rediscount in large volume
is primarily based on the power grant
cd by law to issue federal reserve notes
in payment for the proceeds of those re-
discounts.
''But the federal reserve note is the
promise Of the United States to pay to
the bearer on demand so many dollars.
The bank really borrows credit from
the government in theyform Of federal
reserve notes, distributes this credit
among its member banks as their
needs require. and virtually pays inter
est to the government in the form of
franchise tax to the amount of 80 per
cent of its net earnings above dividend
requirements. The federal reserve
agent at each federal reserve bank
holds collateral in the form of gold or
commercial paper to secure the govern
mcnt for the notes issued in the dis
trict."
To Pay Bonds.
Proceeds of the franchise tax can be
diSbursed only by increasing the gold
reserve against government notes or
grcenbacks or employ it for the retire
ment of funded obligations of the Unit
ca States. As there is an ample reserve
for those purposes. it is probable that
the entire franchise tax of the reserve
banks will be applied toward the pay
ment of Liberty Bonds and Victory
rotes before their maturity, thus re-
turning directly to the public 30 per
cent of the profits to which it cOntri-
buted and which it is prone to criticisc.

UNITED STATES VS. JAPAN
>~A~

The controversy between the
United States and Japan over the
objection of this country to the
granting Of mandatorial rights on
the island of Yap to Japan looks as
it it might at any time reach an
acute stage ~-.~s 81

Emandate awarded the exclusive Juris-
dictioh over control Of the tor1ne.
German cables eentering in the is
land to Japan, to which the Wilson
administration protested and now
President Harding is maintaining tht
same position as that taken by his
predecessor, claiming that it is ne
cessary that the control be not cen
tered in Japan owing to the cable
connection which it gives this coun-
Try with Asia. Japan in turn con-
ENDS that this country has connec-
ion with Asia by way Of Guam and
MdnilIa.
President Harding has made il
>lain in all his expressions that
g will maintain American RIGHTS
Fhenever it became necessary at any
ost, and it is not to be questioned
ut what he vii do so in this in
bance.
Serious differences between ma
ons have resulted in the past over
nch less important questions than
lat now under discussion. and

we President Harding will continue
