BANKERS' BILL IS READY

flanks tn Issue mil In In 4l i'rt
of rinnd-vrrnred Clrrnln
tloii nhjrrt to Tux of
2 1-2 IVr Onl.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15. The plan of
currency reform agreed upon by the com
mittees of the American Bankers' associa
tion and the New York Chamber of Com
merce, upon which they have been at work
for four days, wns marie public today.
Tho committee on the bnnkPrs' association
was made up of representative financial
men from all over the United States. The
conclusions reached were unanimous and
will be submitted In the form of a, report
to niemln-rs of the American Bankers' as
sociation. Before adjourning, finally, today
a committee was appointed consisting of
A. B. Hepburn of New York. James B.
Forgan Nof Chicago and John L. Hamilton
of Hopestnn. 111., to whom was Instructed
the drafttng of a bill for presentation to
congress, which will eniliody the Ideas ex
pressed in the statement made public by
tho committpp of bankers today.
The plan agreed upon by the two com
mittees coiilPiuplHtes the Issue under gov
ernment supervision of credit bank holes
by national bnnks equal to 40 per cent of
their bond-secured circulation, subject to
a tax of " per cent per annum; an auto
matic Increase of credit notes under cer
tain conditions; a further Issue of credit
notes equal to 12'4 per cent of a bank's
capital at a tax of 6 per cent per annum;
the establishment of a guarantee fund for.
the redemption of credit notes of failed
banks; provision for tictlvp dally redemp
tion of credit notes; repealing existing
law limiting the retirement of bond-spcurpd
notes to H.ono.ooo per month, and the de
posit of all public moneys above reasonable
working balances In national banks with
out collateral security,, on which tho banks
are. to pay 2 per cent.
Demand for Klastlolty.
In the report addressed to the members of
the American . Bankers' association the
statement is made that there Is unanimity
of opinion that changes In the existing
bank noto system are Imperatively required
and that the. prpsent volume of bank notes
is wholly unresponsive to the demands of
commerce. It does not, the report says,
expand with tho need for currency In the
crap moving period, causing a stringency;
nor contract.' when the uses for currency
are less exienslvp, causing redundancy.
To met this situation the national bank
ing ac; the re-port says, should be so al
tered as to permit under ample safeguards
he issue of credit bank notes, which would l
automatically adjust the volume of the de
mands for currency. . y
The report sets out a series r.f principles
which were agreed upon by tho bankers and
which they believe underlie "a correct so
lution" of the currency problem so far as it
relates to the Issue of a vbank note cur
rency. .
Text of the He port.
The report saya:
We therefore unanimously reeomniPnd the
enactment into, law of the following, hav
ing the firm conviction that thereby will be
provided a bank note currency, safe hevond
peradventur and automatically varying in
voiume as needs of commerce vary.
First Credit bank notes. Any national
bank having been actively doing business
for one year and having a surplus fund
equal to 3i) ppr cent of Its capital, shall
have authority to issue credit notes as fol

currency; .
fa) An amount equal to 10 per tent of Its
bond-secured circulation, subject to a tax
at the rate of 2V4 per cent per annum upon
the average amount, outstanding; provided,
that if at any time In the future thp pres.
pnt proportion of tho outstanding unma
tured United States bonds to the total cap
italisation of all national banks snull dl
minish, then the authorized Issue of credit
notes shall be increased to a correep-nd-Ingly
greater percentage of Its bond-secured
notes, (hi A further amount equal to
1214 per cent of its capital shall hp subject
to a tax at the rate of 5 per cent ner an
num upon the average amount outstanding

James i;. Branch, secretary of the
Auutlcan Bankers' associutlon and Htcie
taty of Its currency committee, made an
explanatory statement Aufter the gathering
adjourned, giving the opinion in popular
languuge of the members of the bankers'
committee of the operations of the pro
posed bill. This statement in part sets out
lite following:
The provision limiting the lue of credit
( notea to tu per cent of the bond-secured
circulation and not exceeding per cent
of tne capital stoca is lor tne putxre ot
preventing any tendence py bunks to eell
government bonds now OeUI to secure cir
culation in older tu avail themselves of the
new rlrcuiallun. riuch action is taken be
cause it l desired mat me measure pro
posed. It enacted, nhall not tend to drpn
the inurktt for government bonds. No part
of the assets of banks are to be Seciatly
Piedj-ed to secure Hip credit notes, but they
aie to be protected by the same bgnl re
serve now requited against deposits In re
wrve cities Sa per cent and in country
tanks la per cent. 'J he members of tne
commlit't) think that the claim of the
cic.ni notes of a failed bank uihjii Its as
sets should not be given a lien prior to
that of the dcxHitori, but that the guar
anty fund, with tne addition of a pro rata
claim on the asset with the depositors,
mould afford adequate protection. The
meniltera believe that the lax on the note
lues will create a guaranty 4'und many
times larger thai" necessary to meet the
I notes of failed hanke.

taken today.
