WASHINGTON, February THE Senatl
Finance Committee referred Mr.. Beck'l
bill, 10 prevent unlawful certi6cation o
checks by national banks, to the secretar,
Of the Treasury for his opinion. The senti
ment Of the committee apparently taycn
the bill and ifLhe Secretary oithe Treasury
approves 1t, and 1t is believed he will, the
measure will be favorabiy reported. Mr.,
Beck has information to the effect that the
reputable banks generally desire the
passage Of this law. The over certihcation
OF checks, so 1t Is alleged, Is INDUCED in by
a few reckless banks, which are thus en-.
abted TO do business in excess OF their
legitimate means, and those banks which
make it n rule to comply with the law want

Beck says the importance otthe measure is
generally conceded and hC has NO doubt OF
its ultimate passage.
