THE RANKING LAW

The voters will be called on on Tuesday
to vote for or against the general banking
law, which the legislature submitted TO
the people. This law is one devised to
regulate private banking In the state fixing
a minimum limit to their capital: $685.
600 in towns of 5000 or less; $4,000 In
larger towns. When the capital is paid In
the auditor will issue certificates of cor.
poration and will afterward, not less than
four times year, call for statement of
banks condition, and bank examiner will
examine its condition. A bank under this
law may not issue notes Tor currency; nor
hold real estate, except Its banking house,
longer than five years; nor loan to any one
person at any one time to exceed one tenth
its capital; share holders are liable to the
par of their holdings; and If the capital be
impaired banks affairs may be closed by
the state auditor. The law Is designed
simply to place banking houses or corpor.
atoms, other than national banks, in this
state under the control of the state In
somewhat similar way as national banks
are under the direction and control of the
U. s. treasury. As such 1t probably is
worth adopting, as 1t would doubtless be
benent to both the banks and their patrons
