Bankers and law makers have worked in harmony on this measure, and the result., It is said, is a law which will prove the strongest regulation of f financial institutions hitherto adopted. ... i . J . V v- While-toe new act Is modeled along tile lines 'of the recently enacted New York banking law, It is In 1 many re snecta more severe. It provides In the first place for the creation of a state banking department to take the place of the bank commission. The chief officer nf th. new rinnartment shall be known as the superintendent of banks, and his salary shall be 110,000 a year, for a term of four years. He Is to be ap pointed by the governor, and his Quali fications will include .actual experience as an executive orncer in a uaiuornia honk The startling disclosures In the bank wrecking scandals of the California 8afe Deposit & Trust company and the Mar ket Street bank have caused the Intro duction of a special clause Into the new law, making provision against reckless borrowing oy ornciais irom ineir own hank. The law orovides that a com mercial bank cannot make a loan to any Of its-directors wttnout tne vote oi two thirds of the other -directors and that toll particulars of the loan must be reported to the superintendent of banks . 1 Wt.av tAial lnanfl shall lur inn npyravat. - .wv. ..,-. not exceed 3' per cent or tne capital ana surplus of the ban. Under the new act savings banks are to be permitted to Invest In standard Industrial securities.

M , , There will be three kinds of banks, savings banks, commercial banks and trust companies. Bank directors will be required to make annual reports to the superintendent. In addition to the reports ot the examiner and of. -the clearing house, thus practically calling for three report a year on each bank.
