Thur» , Jan 8. 1981 (S e c 2 ) S A N D Y ( O r e ) P O S T 5 The 1st Loosely United Cash Box a banking alternative One friendly teller with a big smile and a bigger gun would be all the personnel needed. The night shift of fering 24-hour service would also ca rry a flashlight. There is always a u tility pole near a drop mail box and this would be the central point of the bank. nate for people in today's financial bind. It should be something simple, requiring little , if any, backing Yet it should be flexible enough to suit people's needs It should have a place to deposit and w ithdraw money and a place to lock up valuables, but no paper work, checks, pink slips, loans, nor statements of any sort It could be called. The 1st Loosely United Cash Box. Ranks don't have much going for them to distinguish one from another They all have the same interest rates, the same sty le of accounts, the same size safety deposit boxes, and the same teller windows with little pens on leashes. Banks are just as competitive as other businesses so when one comes up w ith a clever idea to attract depositors, such as the drive-in teller or the 24-hour deposit box, all the big banks soon boast the same. As the dollar becomes more scarce, the competition becomes keener to see which bank can attra ct the floating greenbacks. Buildings are redecorated to be more inviting and comfortable. Gifts, ranging from green stamps to china, are offered to anyone who can afford to deposit large sums. Free money is flaunted as a come-on to other depositors. The piggy bank stuffers of today are tom orrow’s clientele, and,so, children too are attracted by little gratuities. Anything to foster friendly relationships between banker and depositor. The Ixxisers, as the depositors would be called, would not have to worry about the federal government taxing their money because the closest government agency the bank would be involved w ith would be the post office. There would be no actual building to m aintain, the bank would operate near the closest m ail drop box. Banking would be handled by either walk-in methods or drive-in, but not by m a il as the closeness of the post office might suggest. turn of the century. The feeling that a person was on hallowed ground once inside the bank’s front door no longer exists. The fear of banks going broke is almost erased from people’s minds who lived through the Great Depression. The extra dollar that people had to entrust in the banking system is also gone. The standard form of banking should have an alter Gone are stiff-necked bankers and rig id form atilities that used to sirro u n d the banking profession around the The Ixwsers would sim ply walk or drive up to this pole and impale their deposit on a large nail protruding from the pole. A small note saying, “ This is my money” and the signature would, of course, accompany the money. A withdrawal would be just the reverse and it would be up to the individual to keep track of how much he had at any one tim e in the bank. The money intended for savings would be snugly stuffed into a large wool sock personalized in embroidery with the depositors name and nailed to the back of the pole The person would have the option of using his own mattress at home. The large blue drop box would be the communal safety deposit box. Once valuable articles were placed in the box there would be no more worries for the owner. He would have no need for keys, w aiting in line for assistance and no rental fee. A withdrawal would have to coincide with m ail pickups Children would like the convenience of being able to ride their bikes past the deposit window. Once the idea caught on, the 1st Ixiosely United Cash Box could be a huge success financially and a great place to hang around and meet people. THRIFTWAY...PART OF THE COMMUNITY!

Under the old require ments, an employer with $2,000 or more of tax lia b ility w ithin a seven or eight day period had to deposit the taxes w ithin three bankir^ days. The new requirements raise the accumulation to $3,000, but lowers the holding period to three or four days This means there could possibly be eight deposits required within a month's tim e instead of four. Corresponding changes raise monthly deposit requirements from an ac cumulated tax lia b ility of $200 per month to $500 per month Employers falling into this category have 15 days after the end of the succeeding month if it is for the last month of the quarter Details on the employer's responsibility for with holding, reportuig, and pay ing over federal taxes can t* found in the free IRS Public atton 18.
