Bankers Body Sees Less Poli­
tics in Banking Departments
With Better Facilities in the
Hands of the Responsible
Officials.
A survey ot state banking depart­
ments by the State Bank Division,
American Bankers Association, dis­
closes n distinct tenden-y tho past
five years o take bank supervision
out ot politics, to increase the dis­
cretionary powers ot bank commis­
sioners, to langthen their terms ot
office, to supply them with ade­
quate forces of qualified examiners
and to relieve banking departments
of duties foreign to banking, says
a recent statement.
"We haxo consistently urged
that the offico ot bank commis­
sioner he as free from partisan
politics as the judiciary itself and
that it be divorced from all other
functions of state government,” tho
statement says. "Further, that his
term ot office be made more secure
and lasting, with sufficient salary
and power grnnted to attract and
retain the services of mon of out­
standing executive nhlllty, courage,
and bnnklng experience.
"Five years ago the first survey
of state banking departments by
the division demonstrated the need
for Improvements. On the basis
of datn now In hand It is evident
that, through the revision ot stat­
utes In many states, rapid steps
are being taken in the right direc­
tion. Ono by one the statos nre
coming to recognize the primary
importance of strong, competent
banking departments.”
How Commissioner! Are Chosen
The office of bank commissioner
la now operated as an independent
department ot state government In
thirty-four states, the bankers find.
In two states the bank commis­
sioner is elected at general elec­
tions; in one he is appointed from
eligible lists of the civil sorvlce
. ad in another he Is selected by
the banks. In one state the bank­
ers’ association elects a list of five
names from which tho governor ap­
points one as superintendent of
banks; in another ho Is appointed
by the State Corporation Commis­
sion and tn another hy the State
Banking Board.
“Terms of office of bank com­
missioners have been lengthened In
several states during the last five
years," the report says. “In 28
states the term Is tour years, In
one, five years, and in three it is
six years and in some the terin is i
Indefinite. A short term is con­
demned on the grounds that the
commissioner has insufficient time
to become thoroughly conversant
with his field work. A longer term
permits his rendering useful ser­
vice through capitalising his ex­
perience. Five years ago the aver­
age length ot service was less than
three years, now it '« five.
Higher Standards Required
“Signa ot an awakening to the
necessity of making successful
banking experience a qualification
for bank commissioner are evident
While eleven states report no hank­
ing experience necessary, the ma­
jority require experience ot this
sort, ranging from two to five
years. Twelve states now have
banking boards, with powers rang­
ing from acting In an advisory ca­
pacity to full power over all stat* I
banka to issue and reject charters.
"A healthy sign is the number
of reports which disclose that the
commissioners have fpll power tp

The first recession in the nation's
savings account in banks in the
twenty years during which records
in this field have been kept by the
American Bankers Associatlou was
disclosed for last year in the recent
annual compilation prepared by its
Savings Bank Division. The shrink­
age amounted to over $195.000,000.
on the basis of figures tor the year
ending June 29, 1929, whereas a
year earlier the reported Increase
was over $2.300,000,000, the largest
ever recorded. The number of sav­
ings depositors also decreased dur­
ing the year covered by more than
500,000 accounts. The lure of the
stock market and affiliated activi­
ties are cited as part of the ex­
planation for these changes.
Tho association's statement says
that savings deposits In banks and
trust companies of continental
I nlled States on June 29, 1929,
stood at $28,217,656,000. The re­
cession In savings. It declares, in­
dicates a fundamental change in
the savings situation, irrespective
of whether it is temporary or not.
How Savings Used to Orow
“In 1926 savings deposits In­
creased $1,562,000.000, in 1927 al­
most $1.400.000.000 and in 1928 over
$2.300,000,000,'' It Bays. "It appears
now that some influences in one
year have taken the gain that I
might reasonably have been ex­
pected in savings deposits for 1929
and lowered them from the high
niarjc of the preceding year.
