A survey of «tale banking depart
ment! by the State Bank Division,
American Bankers Association, dis
closes a distinct tendency the past five
years to take bank supervision -ut of
politics, to Increase the dlacretlonsry
powers o( bank commissioners, to
lengthen their terms of office, to sup
ply then, with adequate forces of
qualified examiners and to relieve
banking departments of duties foreign
to banking, says a recent statement
Issued by the association.
“We have consistently urged that
the office of bank commissioner be a
free from partisan politics as the Ju
diciary itself and that It be dlvoVced
from all other functions of state gov
ernment." the statement says. "Fur
ther, that his term of office be made
more secure and lasting, with suffi
cient salary and power granted to at
tract and retain the services of men
of outstanding executlvs ability, cour
age, resourcefulness and successful
banking experience.
“Five years ago the first survey ot
State banking departments by the divi
sion demonstrated the need for im
