PLACEJENTBAL
Washington, l>. C.. Jan. 2 1.—
More expert advice on how to re
model the monetary system of the
United States to provide an elastic
currency and strong, centralized
reserve, was heard today by the
Glass committee of the House.
The principal it nesses called were
Leslie M. Shaw, former Secretary
of the 'Treasury and Prof. J. L.
I.auglilin, of Chicago.
Questions asked by the Demo
cratic members of the committee
seem to indicate that the commit
tee favors the establishment of a
system of divisional reserve
banks, operated under close gov
ernment supervision as a substi
tute for the national monetary
commission's proposed central
bank.
As a remedy for existing con
ditions, Mr. Shaw proposed that
the government authorize nation
al hanks to issue unsecured cur
rency, to he guaranteed by the
government to the extent of 25
per cent of their capital stock,
not including surplus, in times
of emergency. To force contrac
tion after the emergency ceases
to exist, lie suggested that a tax
of I per cent he imposed upon all
supplementary currency until
cancelled after a certain dale.

TIGHTENING LINE
ON THE BANKERS
Washington, I). Jan. 2L
Criminal statutes to prevent bank
officers accepting “personal com
pensation” for loans from their
hanks, regulation of loans by
hanks to their own officers and
directors, and stricter method of
national hank examination were
among the momentary reforms
endorsed today hy Controller of
the Currency Lawrence O. Mur
ray before the House money trust
committee. < Ill
Mr. Murray testified that the
accept am.. “personal compen
sation” hy hank officers from
borrowers was a growing evil that
called for imperative action. He
recommended legislation to pre
vent bank stockholders transfer
ring their stock to irresponsible
persons when an institution was
on the verge of failure.
Mir. Murray declared the bank
ing law “inadequate and defect
ive," and that the present system
ol' national bank examination was
“superficial and ineffective. Pres
ident Taft’s refusal to permit Mr.
Murray to make special investiga
tions of national banks for the
committee was taken up and
counsel for the committee pul in
to the record an amended request
proposing to hold confidential in
formation which the controller
thought it unwise to publish.
