bank Idea, which, he said, was recog
nized In principle,, and Its consequent ef
fect on many of tho provisions of the
bill, was the criticism ot great emphasis.
Establishment ot iweive dooxs in

together the money reserves of the coun
try had made it necessary In order to
make these reserves effective to provide
a central board with powers greater than
Would be necessary for one central bonk
to possess.
Intensify tne Stringency.
"As mature stand today, whenever
Stringency in the, money markot exists
our 25,030 banks begin competing with
each other to strengthen their cash re
serve", In doing so they Intensify the
stringency and aggravate the trouble.
The dltpolstlon ot bank managers to
strengthen their individual Institution is
natural and Inevitable. In ' viewing the
proposed legislation, one of the most nat
ural questions If, then, whether the es
tablishment ot these regional reserve
banks will remedy or aggravate that con
dition.
"With a single central reserve bank.
with branches, .reserve money ot all the
banks depoeltod with that central Insti
tution would count In the aggregate no
matter with which bank It was deposited.
or through- which branch 'It was loaned
With such a single central bank, the
controlling board would place its re.
serves In the section of the country where
most needed. This shifting ot funds
would be accomplished without ostenta
tion and without notoriety, whereas, it a
federal board should require, as it might
do, under this proposed law, one federal
reserve bank to loan money to another
federal reserve bank, that could not be
done without attracting attention to- the
borrowing locality in a way that would
operate to tho. prejudice ot that locality.
On the other hand, how simply, sully
and naturally this apportionment of funds
would be made to fit the requirements
of different localities through the opera
tion of one central bank with branches."
Mr. Hepburn pointed out at some length
what ho belluvcs to be the danger of
having the credit of the government
palled In question at some future tlmo
by obligating It In the proposed note
tssues ot the regional re servo- banks. The
banks, he sold, should bo made solely
responsible for the notes.
Demand that attempts to obtain cur
rency legislation at the present session
of congress be abandoned and that a new
currency bill be drafted by a commission
composed of representatives of the gov
ernment, members ot the American Dank-
ere' association and representatives ot
the National Chamber of Commerce for
presentation to congress at Its next sec-
slon, was made by James U. Fprgan of
Chicago In a series of resolutions em
bodying a number of objections to tbe
Owen-Glass measure.
The present currency bill is unwork
able. Impracticable and fundamentally
bad, and In my opinion it cannot be
remedied by amendment," said Mr. For
Ban. "An attempt to enforce it In Us
present form would bring about the most
damnable contraction of currency ever
seen In any country. It should be re
written from the ground up. It Is not
our fault that this was drafted! by -men
who know nothing about the subject they
were dealing with. I talked with the
chairman of the house committee In
charge of tho bill and he wrung his hands
In despair and admitted ho was Incom
petent to deal with tho problem."
A commtttee on resolutions, consisting
of four members each from the cur
rency commission oA the American Bank
ers' association, the State Bankers' as
sociation and the Clearing House associa
tions, was appointed to consider the res
olutions and report to the conference.
Cleprgo M. Iteynolds, Charles Q. Daws
and W. T. Fenton of Chicago spoke In op
position to the suggestion that tho con
ference go on record in favor, of having
a now currency bill dratted. They sold
that bankers had been attempting to ob
tain legislation for twenty-five years and
that they were nearer' realising their
wlsh4s today than ever beforo. They
urged that amendments be prepared to
remedy the most essential defects In tho
present measure so. that It might be
paoqed (at the present session of con
Glass Uepllen to Fortran.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 Chairman
Glass of the house banking committee
made a brief reply today to tho personal
criticism by James B. Forgan at the
bankers conference in Chicago.
"I modestly sold to Mr. Fbrgan," sold
Mr. Gloss, 'thot not being- a practical
banker, I felt myself at great disad
vantage In dealing with the question.
That woe all-aald In the' privacy of my
