BANKING BILL REVIEWED.
Valuable light was thrown upon

nesota State Bankers’ Association by
George M- Reynolds, president of the

Mr..Reynolds is one of our
; end what h« had
that he *
m
speaks 'not
froas the
viewpoint o
Wall Street, but of the middle west,
where his interests lie. It Is impos-
sible to present In our limited space
even a synopsis of the address, but
for the convenience of our readers wo
have summarized the main points in
it. Mr. Reynolds recommends these;
features of the bill:
The division of the country into'
twelve districts, each with its Dis-
trict Reserve Bank.
The method by which member
banks are to make their subscriptions,
to the District Reserve Banks.
The method of selecting directors.
for the District Reserve Banks.
Strict government supervision over
the operations of these banks.
The gradual retirement of the two
per cent bonds, which carry the note-
issuing privilege.
The creation of a rediscount mar-
ket, to make commercial paper liquid.
The provision for foreign banking.
The authorization of acceptances ^
for foreign trade.
Mr. Reynolds objects to the follow-
ing features of the bill: . r
The political character of tAe Fed-
eral Reserve Board In Washington^
the despotic powers conferred upon it,
and the fact that bankers are to have
hut one representative on the board
of seven.
The lack of a limit to rediscounts.^
He thinks no bank should rediscount
to an amount ’exceeding its capital,
lest there be Inflation.
The $500,000,000 limitation on note
issues.
The government guarantee of these
Issues, which might Impair Its credit
in case of war.
it'
The unscientific method of Issuing
the notes.
The small gold reserve back of the
notes. He thinks it should be 50 per
cent Instead of only 33|.
The tax on note issue*. —
Mr. Reynolds made ljj^ear-that he
did not offer these crltilHa fn a con-
tentious spirit, but onlynT the hope
that the bill might be amended so
to serve the best
whole country.
