Currency law deemed inoperative by treasury officials
Washington reports a fatal defect in the Aldrich-Vreeland emergency currency law. Treasury officials say its key feature is inoperative and no emergency currency will be issued. The issue stems from lack of provision to declare cleaning house certificates illegal or tax them, despite plans for national currency associations of at least ten national banks.

Tax on Bank Circulation and Emergency Currency Policy
The text discusses rendering available circulation as a basis for further circulation of securities by a national banking association. It describes a 5 percent first month tax on all circulation not based on US bonds, rising 1 percent monthly to 10 percent, and notes that a 110 percent tax blocks state bank issuance and burdens national bank currency. The heavy tax aimed to remove emergency currency, with treasury officials noting a return to non taxed cleaning house certificates if an emergency recurs, citing over $100,000,000 issued last fall.
