THE ENTERPRISE.
NEW FINANCIAL MEASURE.
Provisions of l lnsndnl Plan Intro
duced Monday. '
Washington, Special. Chairman
Fowler, of the House committee oa
banking and currency Monday intro
duced an Important flnanclnl measure
framed by the Republican members
of the committee after conferences
extending through the lsst two
months. 1| brings together into one
financial measure a number of propo
sitions which have been urged separ
ately heretofore. Mr. Fowler explains
the purposes of the billons follows:
"To transfer from the government
to the banks the responsibility «.f
protecting the ncteasary gold reserve
and the burden of furnishnlg gold for
export, thereby saving oar commerce
from the destructive apprehensions
growing out of raids upon the gold In
the Treasury, which can now only be
replenished by n tax Imposed the
people through the sale of bonds; to
provide a currency always respon
sive and adequate to the demands cf
trade everywhere, and to equalize
and lower the average rate of in
terest in all parts of the I'nited
Etatea: to secure for American enter
prise and American capital the privi
leges an I opportunities of engaging
in international banking under the
na« ional law and so lay a foun lation
upon which to build an American
merchant marine; to remove the last
vestige of doubt with regard to ra*
standard Of value.
"The measure provides for Intel ra
tional banking, and a division of
banking and currency la established,
under a board of control. Instead of
a single Individual in the person of
the ComptroJler of the Currency, as
heretofore. Tbe board will consist of !
three members, whose terms of offi
ce are for 12 years, so arranged that
only one member wl'.l retire every
four years.
- "If the meai-ure now Introduced
should become a law. It Is confident!*
believed thit the national banks will
assume the current redemption in gold
coin of $1"0,KIO.0HO erf United States
notes. In consideration of the obliga
tion assumed by the national banks,
they will have the rlrhl during the
succeeding live years, to issue gradu
ally. as business may require, an
amount of bank notes equal to 60 p°r
centum of their paid up and unim
paired capital; provision being made*
also for an emergency circulation. As
the notes are taken out for elrcula
tion the banka will deposit with the
gctvernment a guarantee fund of 5 per
centum of the amount of the notes so
Issued. The national banks herenfVw
will be required to pay Interest upon
government eleposits at the rate of 1
per centum per annum.
"This 6 per centum gusjirante* fund,
and tbe tax upon the bank notes will
be Issued lo protect the bank nrfes.
All the excess erf such taxes with the
Interest on the government deposit*,
will be used to pav off the l>lted
Btates notes which the banks assume
to currently redeem.
* "The I'nited States will be the
clearing boua» district and the cur
rent redemption of bank notes.
that the amo'int of notes outstanding
at any time always will he co-ordi
nated to the amount of trading, and
preclselv as cheeks or drafts reflect
the amount of commercial work being
carried on.
"By and with the consent of the
board of control, the banks may have
more than one place for doing buii
nese being authorized to establish
themselves In the various cities of
the country. ' . ..
"No bank note of a denomination
let, than $lO will be Issued, an-l th»
Secretary of the Treasury shall n"»
Issue a 'silver certificate of a denomi
nation greater than »5. and. there
after upon the presentation to him
of 100 silver dollars, or any multiple
thereof, and a demand for their re
demption. shall exchange gold com
for the same."
