National banks are required by law
to be members of the Federal Reserve
System. National banks obtain their
charters from the National Government
and are supervised by the Government.
11,eo0 Independent Banks.
Although many State banks belong
to the Federal Reserve System, some
1000 State banks are independent Of
any national system, being supervised
by State authorities only.
Despite the greater number Of banks
not afiiliated with the Reserve System,
its member banks contain about two
thirds of all bank deposits.
Savings banks are supervised by their
States. Most savings banks are mutual;
that Is, all profits 90 to the depositorS
instead Of stockholders. They are
rigidly regulated as to type Of invest
ment.
Private banks usually do not receive
as much legal supervision. They are
banks which accept only large deposits
and which float securities.

In Congress to take this function from

which they make their checks.
Plan More Unified System
A few years ago trust companies
were distinct types Of banks confning
themselves largely to the management
Of estates and trust funds. Lately, how
ever, commercial banks have taken
over trust functions, and trust COM
panies have taken over commercial
functions.
Proposed banking reforms envisage
the inclusion of all State and national
banks into a more unified system Some
plans propose establishment Of . new
system Of depository banks which
would hold funds for fee.
The United States Government main
tains the postal savings banks, which
pay low rate Of interest. 1t has been
proposed that these banks provide
checking facilities.

Staff Increase.

The Bureau Of Engraving and Print

Of turning out the big order Of Federal
Reserve notes required in the Govern
ment's new money program.
In increasing the stan, 1t was ex-
planned by Alvin w. Hall, director, men
whose wives were not employed, women
whose husbands were not employed and
veterans were given preference in the
large number OF former employees who
applied for positions.
Production, 1t was explained, will
reach its peak within the next week, II
demands require 1t. At peak production
more than 100000 notes will leave
the bureau every "a hours, to be shipped
to Federal Reserve banks throughout
the country.
Changes Necessjtated.
The huge production program re-
quired by the emergency bank act is
unprecedented. To meet 1t many quick
changes had to be made in bureau
methods and vaults had TO be expanded
The entire staf Of the bureau, Mr.. Hall
said, undertook the task in splendid
spirit" Several of the important opera
tionS are continuing throughout "a
hours Of the day.
The initial order for Federal Reserve
bank notes amounts to 1884 900 sheets,
or l86, ,288,0 900 notes. with an approx
mate face value Of 81 900 600, 900.
The bureau was directed to proceed
with actual production Of notes late on
the day OF March 8, when the emer-
gency bank law was enacted. The new
bank notes were authorized to meet the
need for currency resulting from with
drawals from banks.
The new notes are like national bank
notes in appearance and are secured by
Government bonds or by the obligations
of member banks, in turn secured by
good assets.
Work Anticipated.
The frst shipment Of the new notes

One effect Of the national bank holi-

Of the time when income tax returns
must be made The time for filing or
dinariy would have expired at mid
night tonight, but the Bureau of Inter-
nal Revenue announced last night that
the date had been changed to March 81.
This was due to the realization by Gov
eminent oficials that many taxpayers
have found 1t difhcult, and in some
cases impossible, to complete arrange
ments for payment Of their tax, due to
the bank holiday. The only stipulation
made In the postponement Is that tax
payers who wait until after midnight
tonight must pay per cent interest for
