treasury Head Will Place Money In
Banks Prime Commercial Paper
to Be Taken aB Security.
Washington, Aug. 2. With the ap
parent double objective of eliminating
the possibility of money stringency In

crops and of affording to the country
a powerful object lesson as to the
value of the government as an agency
in banking business, McAdoo proposes
to turn into the channels of trado from
125,000,000 to $50,000,000.
This is the first time in history that
the government has accepted "com
mercial paper" for such deposits. A
supplemental declaration, however,
says that only banks which have "ta
ken out at least forty per cent of their
authorized circulation" will be permit
ted to participate in this distribution.
Commercial paper is to be taken at
65 per cent of its face value as secur
ity for these deposits, bonds other
than government bonds for 75 per cent
of their "market value," and govern
ment bonds at par.
Tho government will charge two per
cent interest on these funds and tho
distribution is to be limited to banks
in "two or three principal cities" in
each of the states "where harvesting
Is now in progress." Fifteen per cent
of the money is to bo returned in De
cember, 30 per cent in January, 30 per
cent, in February and 25 per cent in
March. All commercial paper offered
first must be passed upon and ap
proved by tho clearing house commit
tees in the cities where the banks of
fering tho paper are located.

Washington, Aug. 4. The Demo
crats of the house banking and cur
rency committee practically concluded

currency bill on Friday, attor more
than flvo weeks of continuous and
stormy discussion.
Tho bill waB ordered closed and ro
printed, nnd on Monday the Demo
cratic committee members will take a
formal vote recommending tho meas
ure to the Democratic caucus.
The bill differs little in its essen
tials from the administration measuro
framed b Repieuuulattve Glabs, Chair
man Owen and Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo and approved by
President Wilson. Tho complete gov
ernment control of tho federal reservo
board which will direct tho new bank
ing and currency system, deemed by
tho president the all-important factor
of tho bill, was retained.
At tho eleventh hour tho Democratic
members of tho committee Incorpora
ted an amendment providing for an
advisory board of bankers to "advise"
the federal reservo board. TIiIb amend
ment was In the nature of a compro
mise with the banking interests, which
protested vigorously agnlnst tho ox
cluslvoly governmental featuro of tho
control of tho boWd,
Another important amondment in
corporated in the bill altered tho re
discount section conferring tho power
to require federal reservo banks to
mutually rediscount paper A chango
was made In the division or tho earn
ings of the federal reservo banks cre
ated by tho law. Ab amended, tho bal
ance of earnings after tho flvo per

member hanks.
In the rosorvo section the commit
teo reduced the period during which
a bank must hold a 25 por cent, re
serve against deposits fiom 2C months
to GO days. As finally passed tho re
serve section requires that after a
period of gradual changes tho country
banks must keep their 15 per cent, re
serves either in tholr own vaults or In
the federal reservo bank of tho district
In which they aro located.
By a vote of seven to Ave, the con
ference struck from tho bill a provi
sion previously ordered inserted for
bidding Interlocking directorates be
tweon banks. It was stricken out on
representations that tho president be
lieved it should bo considered apart
from genoral currency legislation.
