Senate Passes Aldrich Currency Bill Amid Doubts in House
The Aldrich currency bill passed the Senate 42 to 16 after a partisan Bailey substitute vote 42 to 13. It authorizes up to 500 million emergency notes for national banks, funded by state and municipal bonds, with a 0.5 percent initial and 0.75 percent later charge, and imposes a 1 percent min on government funds. An amendment limits bank investments in related corporations and tightens reserve rules. House leaders remain cautious about the bill’s fate.
