ECONOMY IS THE KEYNOTE (Continued from First t per cent. He advise continuance of th rate of lVt per cent for circulation basvl on 2 per cent bonds. Mr. VacVeagh says that If th Panama bonds authorized by the law of August 5, 1909, should be Issued at 8 per ctnt, they would have a much better circulation privilege than the out standing 2 per cents, the tax being only : per cent. Mr. MacVeagh would make the tax on them 1 per cent; otherwise ths already low market value pf the 2 per cents would unduly decline. At the same time, Mr. MacVeagh say It is. desirable to complete the legislation re specting the new Panama bonds to make them available so as to begin the settle ment of the indebtedness to the general fund of the treasury of the Panama oanal. He suggest that If the sale of any of those bonds should produce more cash than the treasury balanoe needs, some of the 2 per cents might be bought In the market for the sinking Aind, thus keeping the market price of the latter class above par. Declaring that the government h not, ai 1 never ha had, a 2 par cent bor rowing power, Mr. MacVeagh say It pos sibly would have been better never to have Issued 2 per cent beads or bend at any rate below the government' borrowing power in the open market. He say that as a bast for circulation they have ne elasticity; that they are practically all held by the bank as a basis of circulation; and that the banks would suffer so heavy a los In an attempt to dispose of them that the Influence of the situation Is conse quently decidedly against the retirement of circulation. The issuance of 8 per cent bond at 1H, says Mr. MacVeagh, would not change In any way the net interest result of lta trans actions with the banks. Than again it would provide bonds which Investors would want and which would have a broad and wholesome market aiding materially in In creasing the elasticity of th currency. -Shake l In Caatoaa Service. Secretary MacVeagh, discussing th re habilitation of the custom service tn prog ress as a result of the extensttve frauds discovered at the port of New Tork says: "It Is clear that the influence of local politics and politicians upon the custom service, has been most deleterious, and has promoted that laxity and low tone which prepare and furnish an Inviting soil for dishonesty and fraud. Unless the custom service can be released from the payment of political debts and exactions, It will be impossible to have an honest service for any engyi of time," He says that the work or reorsanlsatlon Is "not complete, r.ot nearly complete," but predicts that the necessary prosecu tion being made "will lead In th end to the estab.labment of an administration of the customs Service that is fit for the government of a treat nation." While purposely avoiding, as he say, xpresslon of a preference for any par ticular, plan or system, Mrk MacVeagh strongly urge the need of a retiring pen- GREAT SEDUCTIONS Coats .

New Corporation Tax. Mr. MacVesgh's only reference to the new corporation tax Is a paragraph de signed to clear up the question a to what form of return would be adopted. He says It must be assumed by the department that the single purpose of the lw was to tax at 1 per cent the actual net profits of a corporation, as net' profits are under stood, and that the term "net income" was used that there might be no con fusion. The Improved conditions in bank ex amination by the office of the comptroller of the currency ere noted In the report, but no recommendations are made along this line. Mr. MacVeagh urges the need of a con tingent fund probably $100,000 for his de partment. Touching briefly on the subject of bank ing ahd currency reform, Secretary Mac Veagh says: "We must have at least the beginning of a permanent system." At present we have neither an adjustable currency nor trustworthy surplus reserves, two absolutely essential features of any banking system upon which the finances and the commerce of this great nation can secure ret. To secure these essentials to peak of no others th looked for re form must dea". with fundamentals.
