would be an extra dividend of 1.73 per
cent.
Considering the system as a whole,
under the Fletcher plan no franchise

added to surplus each year, and extra

Federal Reserve Bank (baSed on capital
and surplus) amounting to $4,000. On
this it receives an annual 6 per cent

the addition of each l per cent to the
Federal Reserve dividend rate would
mean an additional income of $50 per
year to such bank.

BY CHARLES p. sHAEFFER.
Associated Press Financial Writer

There is a growing sentiment that the
present method of disposing of the net
profits of Federal reserve banks after
the payment of dividends should be
altered, to the end that member banks
may enjoy a larger share. This is pro-
posed partly in the interest of equity
and partly for the avowed purpose of
making membership in the system
more attractive"
A number of different proposals have
been made, and several bills dealing
with the subject have been introduced
IN Congress. In this connection the
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond has
prepared a comprehensive study of the
possible distribution of earnings under
two of the leading plans proposed.
Plan No. is the distribution pro-
posed in a bill by Senator Fletcher,
Democrat, Florida, a member of the
banking committee. 1t provides that
after the regular s per cent dividends
have been paid by a Federal reserve
bank, the amount remaining, If any,
shall be added to the surplus fund of
the bank until that fund equals the SUBJ
scribed capital of the bank and that
thereafter 10 per cent shall be added
to the surplus and the balance dis
tributed among the stockholders
Distribution scheme No. Is that en-
bodied in a bill by Senator Glass, Demo-
crat. Virginia. ranking minority member
of the banking committee. This bill
provides that after regular per cent
dividends have been paid one half of
the remainder shall be paid to the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-05-06

member banks as an extra dividend
one-fourth of the remainder paid to the
Government as a franchise tax, the re-
naming fourth to be added to the sur
plus of the bank until 1t reaches zoe
per cent of the subscribed capital, or
200 per cent of the paid-in capital, and
the balance to go to the Government as
an additional franchise tax.
Neither of the two bills makes 1t
at all clear whether the extra divi-
dends are to be paid by each Federal
Reserve Bank to its own member banks,
or are to be put into common fund
for distribution among the members of
all Federal Reserve Banks. ConSe-
quently. in the following statistical
study the Richmond regional member
endeavors to show the effect of both
methods of distribution.
Using the six-year period ending with
1929 as working basis. the survey
attempts forecast under the two plans
for the six-year period ending with
1885. Under the Fletcher bill it Is
found that there would be no extra
dividends in the following districts:
Boston New York, Philadelphia, Cleve-
land. Chicago and San Francisco, while
the ren.sining six Federal Reserve
Banks would be able to pay to their
members extra dividends at the follow
ing rates: Richmond, sos per cent;
Atlanta, 400; st. Louis, $50; Min.
neapoliS, 9.51; Kansas City. 5.48, and
Dallas, 4.83. If the net earnings avail
able for extra dividends are pooled and
paid out uniformly to all members in
all districts, members would receive an
extra dividend of 0.78, or about three
fourths of l per cent.
Under the Glass measure the extra
dividends paid in each Federal Reserve
