IN U. S. TREASURY
House Committee of Investigation
Claims That Government Has teen
Mulcted by Depositary lank Sys
tem and Wants It Abolished.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 21. Denun
ciation of the manner In which the
treasury department conducts Its
business and the declaration, that
the government has lot mlllloas of
dollars by "crude methods" were
voiced here today by the house com
mittee on expcadlturea In the treas
ury department, which has completed
-ItaJnYMtlBattanof. flseal operatles
and riled Its report. ' .
"Interest amounting te 136,600.
000" the report says, "hasbeea lest
to the treasury In the'Iaet twenty
six years. fThe treasury's handling
of general surnlus funds has been
crude, unbusinesslike, unprofitable
and discriminatory. A working bat
anco of $25,000,000 In the treasury
Is sufficient. Tho government can
Incrcaao Its revenuo $2,000,000 a
year by charging Interest on tho funds
In government depositories."
liOss is fO0,oeo,OOO
Referring to the working balance,
tho report says that largo sums have
been unnecessarily retained In the
treasury, sometimes aggregating
$100,000,000. It adds that In addi
tion to tho $36,000,000 lost by not
collecting Interest the government
has lost on tho "excess balance" re
tained In tho treasury for the last
twenty-sit years, figured at 2 per
cent, $17,6610,860.
"Tho right accorded certain
banks." the report says, "to act as
government depositories Is a discrimination-
against all other auks not go
designated, nnd Is a species of special
privilege uud government favori
tism." The report urges legislation abol
ishing the depository-system and tho
substitution of a law which would
force banks to bid for government
deposits.
Discriminatory lruc(lces
