R
«nder which banking is conducted In
various parts of the country since
they come from both state and fed­
eral authorities. The national banks
are all chartered by till federal gov­
ernment and therefore operate on the
same lines in every state of the
Union,' but there is no such regu­
larity in respect to the conditions
under which the state banks chartered
by the respective forty-eight states
must conduct their business. All state
banking codes, while they have simi­
larities, also have many great dissimi­
larities in respect both to the na­
tional bank laws and the banking laws
1 covering state bank operations in oth­
er Jurisdictions.
Banksrs Move for Uniform Laws
The State Bank Division of the
American Bankers Association, which
latter includes in its membership
banks of all descriptions throughout
the country subject to all the varia­
tions of state and federal banking
laws, is committed to the effort to
bring about greater consistency and
uniformity among the statutes of all
these various jurisdictions. This body
Is conducting a vigorous nation-wide
campaign urging that active steps be
taken to secure greater co-ordination
In banking legislation, more equitable
conditions and more uniformly effi­
cient public supervision of banks in
the several states.
The organisation Is particularly con­
cerned with fostering this movement
to bring about more uniformly desir­
able conditions throughout the United
States In respect to the public super­
vision of banking institutions by the
state banking departments. It is on
record as favoring the policy that the
important office of state bank commis­
sioner should be kept as free from
entangling partisan politics as the ju­
diciary Itself and should be complete­
ly detached from all other functions
of state government.
It is also on record as favoring the
policy that the tenure of office of state
bank commissioners should be made
more Secure and lasting than is now
the case In many state jurisdictions
and that this Important public officer
be granted sufficient compensation
and discretionary power so that the
oflloe shall attract and retain the serv­
ices of men of outstanding executive
ability and successful banking expe­
rience.
It is aleo a part- of this policy that
the bank commissioner’s ability to
serve Well should be strengthened by
providing him with adequate forces of
bank examiners, selected on the basis
of merit from men having the requi­
site qualifications of honesty, ability,
training and banking knowledge to
carry but the duties of their offices on
the Mghèst plane of usefulness to the
public as well as to banking.
The Trend of State Laws

___ kgs recently concluded a nation­
wide fufvey of state banking legisla­
tion and eondltidhs and In general has
discovered s deffelte trend along tbs

tal required for hanking institutions

duties. An tmpor

bank commissioners In some states 1»
found In laws giving them complete
charge of Insolvent banks and tbeli
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 office)
or director of a bank from borrowing
from his own bank unless his col
lateral security is approved by a ma
jorlty of tbe board of directors of tbe
bank. Also there Is recent legislation
noted providing for closer supervision
and regulation of building add loan
associations, credit unions, finance
companies and private banks.
In some states measures have been
enacted broadening the field for in
vestment of fund« of savings bank*
and trust companies, which have ma
terlally enhanced the service that
these Institutions can render, partlen
