Index to Franchise Values and Bank Interest Rates
New York World reports President Wicks of Bowery Savings Bank says saving institutions can no longer pay high interest. Most banks now pay 3 percent or less, few exceed 3.5 percent. After Bowery raised to 4 percent in January deposits flowed in from others seeking better rates. Public service monopolies like streetcars and telephones pay 1 to 12 or 13 percent, while banks earn less in competitive markets. The piece argues this gap reflects the true value of public franchises for taxation.
