900 pounds of leaf since October 4, at

Federal Reserve Bank Rates-I.

The significance Of an advance or
reduction in the rediscount rates or
the Federal Reserve banks of the
United States did not occur to the
average citizen until a national bank.
ing issue was made recently of the en-
forced cut in the rate of the Chicago
Federal Reserve Bank from 4 per cent
to 31z per cent.
1t is necessary to go back about 20
years in American finarcial history to
obtain a proper prospective of the
present regulatory system of banking
in this country. At about this time
of year in 1907 the banking panic re-
vealed the very worst features in our
currency scheme and compelled the
adoption, seven years later, or the
Federal Reserve plan, with its central
lied authority at Washington, but re.
gionaI branches throughout the United
States. 1t was not until the country
entered the World War, in 1917, that
the new banks functioned actively,
but in the subsequent mobilization OF
banking reserves and the fiotation of
Liberty bonds and Treasury notes
they played a most important part in
bringing success to the cause OF the
allies.
Briefly, the system Is composed of
members, including the Secretary OF
the Treasury and the comptroller of
the currency, who are ex-officio mem
bers. This board has its headquarters
| in Washington. The Federal Reserve
| banks are IL in number, located in
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Rich
mond, Atlanta, Cleveland, Chicago,
! Minneapolis, st. Louis, Kansas City.
! Dallas and San Francisco. These .12
i directly represent the member banks
in their district and are governed by
! three classes of directors. These are
a class A director, who represents the
stockholding banks; class B director,
| who may be a business man or farm
er, according to the local conditions
and "A class G director, who is the rep
resentative on the board of the central
body at Washington and of the gen
I erai public. OF each class there are
three members, making a governing
body of 3 in every one of the II
regional banks.
Each regional bank, in turn, chooses
q member to sit in the Federal Re-
serve Council, which meets regularly
with the Federal Reserve Board in
. Washington.
In succeeding articles I viii discuss
the fundamental policies and functions
of the system.
