A Cood Banking Proposition.
Editor Democrat:
In last night s Democrat I noticed
Governor West's recommendations re
garding our State Banking law. Gov
ernor West is a banker of long exper
ience and Knows whereof he speaks in
matting tnese recommendations, name
ly: That the shareholder's liabilitv
under the state law should be equal
to aouoie tne amoujt ot stock nelcl; and
that all banks doing a sayings bank
business be required to keep the sav
ings accounts seperate from the other
cccunts Both of these are wise pro
visions and are contained in the law
governing National banks. It was with
these two -joints in mind that the
shar;holdei8 of the First National Bank
ol this city organized the First Savings
Banx, where they might keep the sav
ings accounts in an institui ion entirely
by itself, separate from all other ac
counts. Then thn shareholders in the
First Savings Ba"k in their charter
voluntarily bound themselves each to a
liability of double the amount of stock
held in the bank, which gives depositors
in this bank double the amount of
security allowed under present state
law. ALFRED C. SCHM1TT,
Vice Pres. First National Bank.
