»TO I ST 1 Vol. 7 No. 5 Des Moines, Iowa May 29,1978 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.” NETS Files Complaint With Banking Department The board of directors of the Nebraska Electronic Transfer Sys tem (NETS) has taken formal action to clarify the intent of Nebraska legislation which allows commercial banks to engage in off-premise electronic banking acti vities.

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. LISBON: Eugene R. Kaiden has joined the Lisbon Bank & Trust Co. as vice president and trust officer. He formerly was cashier of the Farmers Savings Bank in Walford.
