THE CURRENCY
Elasticity In Circulating Medium a Pres
ent and Prime Necessity
In my message to the congress a
year ago I spoke as follows of the cur
rency
I especially call your attention to
the condition of our currency laws
The national bank act has ably served
a great purpose in aiding the enor
mous business development of the
country and within ten years there
has been an increase in circulation per
capita from 2141 to 330S For sev
eral years evidence has been accumu
lating that additional legislation is
needed The recurrence of each crop
season emphasizes the defects of the
present laws There must soon be a
sons of the year and its accumulation
York temts bankers to led
and then the enactment of the federal NT
law without which the state laws
were largely ineffective There must
be the closest co operation between the
national and state governments In ad
ministering these laws
It at low rates for speculative pur
poses whereas at other times when
the crops are being moved there is
urgent need for a large but temporary
increase in the currency supply It
must never be forgotten that this ques
tion concerns business men generally
quite as much as bankers Especially
is this true of stockmen farmers and
business men in the west for at pres
ent at certain seasons of the year the
difference in interest rates between the
east and west is from G to 10 per cent
whereas in Canada the corresponding
difference is but 2 per cent Any plan
must of course guard the interests of
western and southern bankers as care
fully as it guards the interests of New
York or Chicago bankers and must be
drawn from the standpoints of the
farmer and the merchant no less than
from the standpoints of the city bank
er and the country banker
I again urge on the congress the need
of immediate attention to this matter
We need a greater elasticity in our cur
rency provided of course that we rec
ocnize the even greater need of a safe
