NOTE*
Shat the resources of tho te rr ito ry included in the Kansas
City D is tr ic t, are ag ricu ltu ra l and undeveloped. Groat portions of
Kansas, Col oral o, Oklahoma and the Panhandle o f Texas are now used as
grazing lands. With the discovery o f drouth resistin g plants and the
s i l o , re-enforced by tho agricu ltu ra l awakening- this te r r ito r y w ill
be doubled in population and wealth in the near fu tu re. Sec’ y Coburn
affirm s that a c ir c le of two hundred miles with Kansas City as the
center, contains the acreage and the s o il that 7 /ill furnish when
fu lly developed one-fourth o f tho food supply o f the United States.

RESERVfc BANK ORGANIZATION CO M M ITTEE
WASHINGTON, D. C.

■oooooooOoooooooNOTB: That tho Kansas City te rrito ry is dependably s e l f supporting, s e lf - s u f f i c i e n t . The backing resources o f this d is t r ic t
can take care o f its needs.

It might not be out of place to remark, that St. Louis has
been advertising and emphasizing tliat in t he system there would be
three great central Regional Reserve Bank Centers, New York, Chicago
and St. Louis. When the le t t e r and tho s p ir it o f the lav absolutely
and e n tirely does away with a ll Central Reserve and Reserve c it ie s ,
annihilates 1hem and . lacos at the and o f three years a l l required
reserves in the Federal Reserve Banks, and the place of honor, impor^fcance or p riv ileg e o r
wiH^be absolu tely equal wi^th a l l Federal
jEteserve^^nks, there w ill be no oonU-al or reserve c i t i e s , only Fedo-'V
Rese i've"'ilfe-es *




I ca ll your attention to f e large figures showing the 18;j
required by the system thao w ill be deposited by the Central
Reserve City Banks into Federal Reserve Banks. Also to the feet that
these large deposits now pyramided In central reserve c it ie s under the
wojfcing o f our present?’ -law, are to a groat measure forced there by tho
present banking law aa& not because thoy are the natural magnet f o r
the te rr ito ry ttd m whibh theyjsa?^, For instance, tho f o r t y - 3 even
reserve c it ie s with a: deposit o f $1,600,000,000 w ill no longer be
compelled to k ^ ^ ^ e i r r e s e r -j In S t. Luuas,, Chicago or Hew York. There­
fo r e , the,
Topeka, .M chlta, Oklahoma Git* aid. Muskogee
now forced
&»1>t !n St* Louis,: w ill naturally come to Kaisas City.

The figu res given on map do not include a l l tho barks o f the United
States. It includes the 750? national Banks which must enter the
system ~r d en ta ion a lize . I am sure th a «. more State Banks and Trust
Co*s w ill accept tho requirements anl enter into the n i:i system
than there w ill be National Banks, who surrender t h e ir chapters. It
contains only 5Of- or one-half of tho ^tatc Barks and Trust C o's. I
b elieve, however, th.it more than 9,000 o f tho 18,167 State Banks and
Trust Cof s w ill enter tho system ,- tho:/ can’ t a fford to ramain outit w ill pay them a l l to enter this g i-a n tic economic organization winch
has m obollzel and made u t iliz a b le America*s money, so tin t the man who
is dependable need not worry about securing the funds to carry on his
enterprise i f it is a worthy one.

The immensity o f this ne>/ Banking System viewed as a great unity,
s t a i r s the im agination. I p re d ict that w ithin twelve months substan tially
the ^entire banking power o f the Uni bed States w il l be brought togetlier in
th is °dgantic co-operation aid co-ord in a tion o f America's monetary re­
sources. I b eliev e that w ithin W o years p r a c tic a lly a l l State Banks and
Trust Companies, as w ell as National Banks, w ill enter the System. It w ill
then have a paid up c a p ita l o f about two hundred m illion d o lla r s , with a
to ta l o f c o n s o l i d a t e d and co-op era tiv e resources of twenty b i lli o n
d o lla r s . Its paid up c a p ita l w ill be greater than the combined ca p ita l
o f the Bank o f England, the Bank o f France and the Imperial Bank of Germany..
The ca n ita l and surplus o f the Bank o f England is
887,500,000
Bank o f Germany,
61,500,000
Bank o f France,
41,500,000
It w ill reprosent a gold stock o f one b i l l i o n , fou r hundred m illio n d o lla r s .
This i s fiv e percent, more tlian tho present gold holdings o f the three
greatest European nations. This Banking System re-enforced by earth’ s
w ealthiest nation, w ill co n s titu te the most powerful fa c to r in the'
world’ s fin a n ce.
