Commending the efforts oi congress
to secure the passage of a needed
currency act but setting up that some
of the provisions thereof would work
a hardship on the country banks, a
committee which was apnointed to ex
press the chanires desired in the pro
posed currency bill, at. the meeting of
group 11 of the Oregon Bankers As
sociation, held here November 8, met
and unanimously passed a reso
lution, a couv of which has been
wired to Senator Chamberlain and
Robert Owen, chairman of the senate
finance committee, at Washington.
Copies arc to be mailed to other Ore
gon representatives in congress.
Group 2 of the Hankers Association
comprises Marion, Linn, Benton. Lin
coln and Polk, taking in forty-three
country banks.
The following is the resolution and
the undersigned compose the com
mil tee.
We commend the effort of congress
to secure the passage of a much need
ed currency act, but believe that some
ot the provisions ot the hill as pro
posed will work a hardship on the
country banks.
We would respectfully suggest, first
that the matter of comnulsory stock
investments be eliminated in so far, at
least, as applied to banks of less than
$200,000 capital. It is the sentiment
of the batiks of t lie group that this
matter should be thrown open to
popular subscription.
Second, that the requirements of the
bill forcing country banks to keep
their reserve in the regional bank
without interest be modified so as to
permit these batiks to carry their re
serve with former correspondents, as
done at present.
Third, that provision be made for
the immediate redemption at par of
the two per cent bonds now held by
national banks as security for circu
lation and deposits.
