Let Short-term Interest Rates
Seek Natural Market Levels
“ For too long, the Federal
Reserve System has been under
intense pres­
sure to attempt
to control rising *
interest rates
and inflation , I
both at the
same time.”
This is the
comment made
by Lawrence K.
Roos, president
L. K. ROOS
of the Federal
Reserve Bank of St. Louis. He
identified “ governm ent, certain
econ om ists and the financial
community itself” as the principal
sources of such pressure.
“ It is my very strong belief that
pursuit of these dual goals, is
self-defeating,” said Mr. Roos,
addressing the Mississippi Bankers
Association in Biloxi, Mississippi.
“ We cannot do both,” Mr. Roos
said. “ We cannot seek to control
inflation and to stabilize short-term
interest rates, all at the same time,
because the methods the Federal
Reserve must use to hold down
short-term interest rates are
themselves inflationary.”
The Price of Credit
Mr. Roos says that most people
do not fully understand that an
interest rate is a price ... the price

of credit... and this price fluctuates
like other prices in a free market,
according to supply and demand.
“ If monetary policy is designed
to prevent interest rates from
rising, the Federal Reserve must
supply more credit to the economy,
and this simultaneously causes the
money supply to expand,” Mr.
Roos said. This, he says, is
inflationary.
He said the only way to control
inflation is to let short-term
interest rates seek their natural
market levels. But, he added, the
Federal Reserve, like other institu­
tions, is subject to pressures from
groups “ which traditionally have
seen higher interest rates as
something to be avoided.”
Mr. Roos singled out government
and business as important sources
o f pressure for interest rate
stabilization.
Government Spending
Referring to government, he
asserted, “ Interest rate stabiliza­
tion enables the government to
grow and consume a larger share
of our resources without approval
by the public.” In explaining this,
he pointed out that government
must finance its spending either
through increased taxes or borrow­
ing in the private credit markets,
and that the electorate can resist

increased spending by refusing to
accept higher taxes or higher
interest rates. If the Federal
Reserve is required to stabilize
interest rates, the public is
deprived of an important constraint
on government spending.
Mr. Roos pointed out that “ the
financial community has a vested
but sh ort-sigh ted interest in
stabilization of short-term interest
rates. As long as interest rates are
kept within narrow bands by
monetary authorities, it is easier to
estimate the short-term cost of
money, to plan loan commitments,
and to know that reserves will be
supplied at a known price.
However, such benefits Eire short­
lived. We forget that, due to
inflationary expectations and de­
mands for higher long-term rates
by lenders, the prices of interest
stabilization for one month may be
higher variability two or three
months hence.”

Credit Card Interest Rates
The U .S. Supreme Court has
agreed to decide whether national
banks may charge the higher
credit-card interest rates of their
home states to out-of-state custo­
mers.
The justices said they will review
appeals by Minnesota officials and
a Minnesota bank who object to the
18% interest rate a Nebraska-based
national bank charges its BankAmericard customers in Minnesota.
National banks in Minnesota are
prohibited by state law from
charging their B ank-A m ericard
customers more than 12% in
annual interest.
A t issue is the meaning o f a
114-year-old federal banking law
and whether it takes precedence
over a 1976 Minnesota law state
officials want applied to all banks
doing business in the state.
The Minnesota Supreme Court
ruled that the National Bank Act of

1864 authorizes national banks to
charge a nonresident credit card
customer an interest rate on unpaid
balances allowable in the state
where the bank is located or the
interest rate of the customer’s
state—whichever is greater.
State officials and the Marquette
National Bank of Minneapolis,
which operates its own BankAmericard service for which it is allowed
to charge 12% interest on unpaid
balances, sued the First of Omaha
Service C orp, in 1976. The
corporation is a subsidiary of the
First National Bank of Omaha,
organized to engage in the credit
card business.
The state and the Minneapolis
bank charged that the Omahabased bank has to abide by the
state’s 12% interest ceiling for
credit card accounts.
The N ebraska bank began
solicitin g M innesota custom ers
because it felt it could attract them
with its “ free” credit card use,
charging no membership fee.
The Minneapolis bank, although
charging less interest, was permit­
ted understate law to charge a $15
yearly membership fee.

Iowa News
ALDEN: Robert J. Chrisjohn,
cashier of the Alden State Bank,
recently retired. He was then
elected to the bank’s board of
directors. James A. Boelman has
been elected cashier of the bank
succeeding Mr. Chrisjohn. Mr.
Boelman has previous banking
experience with the Union Story
Trust & Savings Bank in Ames and
the North Iowa State Bank in
Belmond.
KALONA: The Kalona Savings
Bank will hold an open house in its
newly expanded banking facility on
Saturday, June 3, according to
Gene L. Johnson, president. The
adjoining building was purchased
and remodeled into additional office
space, conference room and vault.
A pork barbecue will be held in the
bank parking lot in conjunction
with the open house.
