The pla,n was presented by A. B, Hepburn, president of the "currency commis sion" which had been appointed by the association. The report as pre sented by Mr. Hepburn was adopted unanimously and tho commission was continued in existence and instruct ed to use every effort to have con gress adopt the plan agreed upon. The report as made by Mr. Hepburn follows: agree upon the following principles, which they believe underlie a correct solution of the currency problem so far as it relates to the issue of a bank note currency: "A credit currency should bo is sued by the national banks of the country under proper restrictions. "A bank note is essentially the same in principle as a deposit pay able on demand. It is a book deposit converted into such form that it passes current. It resembles in character a demand certificate of de posit or cashier's check simply a current deposit liability of the bank. "It is important in any plan seek ing to provide a more flexible cur rency that no measure should be taken which would impair the mar ket value of the United States bonds. "Authority to issue " credit notes under the same regulations should be extended alike to all national banks, but should not be extended to any national bank until it has been actively doing business for one year, nor to any national bank which has not a surplus equal to twenty per cent of its capital. "Credit notes should be taxed at a rate which will produce a guaranty fund sufficient to redeem the notes of failed banks. Such guaranty rund snould be deposited with the government and out of it the gov ernment should promptly redeem the notes of failed banks. "Banks should keep the same .re serves against credit notes outstand ing as are now reauired bv law against deposits. "Active daily redemption of credit currency is the proper and only means or making it elastic, prevent ing redundancy and automatically adjusting its volume to the actual re quirements of commerce. All banks issuing such notes should be required to maintain adequate facilities for their prompt redemntion in cities conveniently located in all sections or me country, so that all notes is sued, however widely they circulate can at no time get beyond a reason able distance from a redemption city. . "We therefore unanimously recom mend the enactment into law of the following, having the firm convic tion that thereby will be provided a bank note currency safe beyond per adventure and automatically varying" in volume as the needs of commerce vary. " 'First. Any national bank hav ing been actively doing business for one year and having a surplus fund equal to twenty per cent of its capi tal shall have authority to issue credit notes as follows, subject to the rules and regulations to be de termined by the comptroller of the currency. " ' (a) An amount equal to forty per cent of its bond-secured circula tion, but not to exceed twenty-five per cent of its capital, subject to a tax at the rate of two and a half per cent per annum upon the average amount outstanding. Provided that if at any time in the future the pres ent proportion of the total outstand ing unmatured United States bonds to the total capitalization of all going national banks shall diminish h. the authorized' issue of credit natea snaii oe increased to a correspond ingly greater percentage of its bond secured notes. " ' (b) A fuf ther amount equal to twelve and one-half per cent of its capital, subject to a tax" at the rate of five per cent per annum upon the average amount outstanding in ex cess of the amount first mentioned. The total of credit notes and bond-secured notes 'shall not exceed the capital. . " 'Second.
