LasBMaMaaaaM cilitate the flow of trade along accepted and

Banking in the United States is recog

they come from botb elale and fed

are all chartered by the federal sot

Bankert Move for Uniform Lawt
The State Bank Division of the
American Bankert Association, which
latter Include. In Itt membership
bankt of all description, throughout
the country subject to all the varia-
tiont of ttate and federal banking
lawt. It committed to the effort to
bring about greater consistency and
uniformity among the statute, of ail
these various Jurisdictions. This body
Is conducting a vigorous nation-wide
campaign urging that active steps be
taken to teenre greater co-ordination
In banking legislation, more equitable
cnr.lltlona and more uniformly effl
j rhnt public supervision of banks In
, the several itatea.
i The nrcnnlzatlon It njrticuiariv con
, rerned with fostering this movement
to bring about more uniformly desir
i ahle condlUont throuchout the t'ntted
States In respect to the public super
iion of banking Institutions by the
t'.itn hanking deportments. It Is on
j record at favoring the policy that the
Important office of state bank commit
j i,",r thosld be kept at free from
entnnKlIng partisan polltlct aa the Ju
) dlt-Ury itself and should be complete
i ly detached from all other fanctlont
, of s ate government , .
t It Is also on record at favoring the
i policy that the tenure of office of ttate
I b.uik commissioners thould be nude
! more aecure and lasting than It bow
, th rote la many ttate Jurisdictions
j and that thla Important public officer
j bs granted sufficient compensation
( n I discretionary power to that the
l cfTue shall attract and retain the terv-
tee. .if men of outstanding executive
I a'.iility and successful banking expe-
rii'nce.
It Is alio a part of tble policy that
i the hank commissioner'! ability to
; t. rve well ihould be ttrengthened by
P''viltng him with adequate forcet of
j bank examiners, selected on the basil
; of merit from men having the requl.
tl'e flualltlcatlont of honesty, ability,
j '.raining and banking knowledge to
Mrry out the duties of their offices on
1 the h'ghest plane of usefulness to the
1 public as well at to hanking.
! The Trend of State Lawt
j The Association 8tiu Bank Dlvl
i almi hat recently concluded a nation
j wide -.urvcy of ttate banking Ivgltla
! timi and conilltloni and Id goners! hat
j discovered a definite trend along the
! (ull'.nlng lines:
j There It a distinct tendency among
I the siatv-s to raise the minimum capl
i tnl required for banking Institution.
I to J2."i.nnn and also to give the hank
eomnilmliinert or ihe hanking hoards
1 lole power as to the granting of char
! ters for new hanks, thus enabling
; them tn use discretion as to the need
or durability of added banking facllt
I tie or ihe fttnes. of the organisers' tr
j anter the hanking field. In this con
I Bertinn many itntei are creating
1 bnnklng hoards to act In an advisory
; cmi.icity with the ttate bank commit
; tinners
There hat i:o been observed a
tendency to Increase the compensa
i tion r, the bank commissioners and to
I lengthen their term, of office and to
i Itive them power to appoint necessary
I Oinrtet and examiner, to at to build
t ii'i 'in, iileiiunte force to carry out their
j responsibilities and dutlet. An impor-
taut uugiiientailop of the power of
hank commissioners In tome ttatet It
found In lawt glTlng them complete
charire of Insolvent banka and their
liquidation as distinguished from more
costly liquidation through the courts.
In the Public Interest
Distinctly In the public interest are
laws prohibiting or limiting an offlrei
or director of a bank from borrowing
from bit owa bank nnle.t hit col

jority of the board of director! of the
bank. Also there It recent legislation
noted providing for cloter .up-rvlslon
and regulation of building and loan

companies and p'rivate banka.
In tome ttatet measures have been
enacted broadening the field for In
