Appointment of Hepburn Commission
Sets Precedent for States.
Now York, Nov. 15. In Now York
financial circles tho viow was freely ex
pressed today that tho action of Gover
nor Hughes in appointing a commis
sion to recommend changes in tho New
York banking laws may result in a
Bimilar movement extending to othor
sections of tho country and in the en
actment of legislation which will place
state banks on a basis and under super
vision more closely akin to that of the
national banks. A. B. Hepburn, presi
dent of tho Chase National bank, and
ex-controller of the currency, who, it is
generally conceded, will bo chairman
of the Hughes commission, is a strong
advocate of the national banking sys
tem. It is believed that Mr. Hepburn
will personally recommend to his asso
ciates that tho state law should bo
made to conform as nearly as .possible
to the Federal statutes.
The roport of the commission is
looked forward to by bankers general
