The Increase in State bank capital for the year
was SOB 49, Among Superintendent Prestons recon-
mendatons the following:
The banking law should be amended as 10
provide that the whole capital stock or BANK
shall be paid in before the bank IL authorized 10

shown that the balance Of unpaid capital is not. as
matter Of fact paid in. in accordance with a me
with this department. as required by law.
Il would suggest another amendment pro,
borrow any Of It's funds without first making APP
rca:ion TO the board OF directors ana the
action of at least quorum of such board on such
application. and penalty should be prescribed Tor
Violation of this provision on,-
ed as TO provide that every bank whose surplus
or undivided profits do not equal 20 per cent
from time time from its net earnings. before
declaring dividend. at least 10 per cent Of such
profits equal 20 per cent of It's capital Stock.
II am convinced that the Interests OF the puG PIC
department materially improved. If a Uniform
method FOR the orgnai entry OF dePosS IN
and that the Superintendent should not only nave
the right TO prescribe Sucn method Dut ma. ~
should also be made part of his duty by statutory
enactment. 40,
"The practice of a bank loanng money on the
security of It's own capital stock should De pro-
hbied. for the reason first. that whenever II Pc Pc
necessary to resort to the collateral TOT he
collection OF the debt. and the bank is compeiiei
to become the owner Of its own stock ITS capital, al,
while II remains the owner, is in fact reduced by
just so much: and, second. In the case OF insoi-
vency the value OF the collateral Is reduced to the
extent of the Impairment insolvency

MY MOTHERS SONG.

When the thrushes cease their singing, and the
wild bees leave the clover;
When the glory of the sunset fades, and leaves
the heavens pale;
When above the hill and mountains misty shades
of twilight hover
And the discords Of the daytime far away in
distance fail;
When the rath wheat gently rustles, and the
tmid asDens SILVER,
And the west winds, signing softly, scent from
sleeping flowers bring;
When the peewts cry together plaintivcly by
brook ana river,-
Then it is hear the old song that my mother
used to sing,
Round my neck feel the pressure of her fingers
warm and slender,
As in sleeping dreams and waking have felt in
many times,
Just as when of old ] listened to that ditty,
quaint and tender,
Till the boughs that waved above us caught the
cadence of the rhymes;
And my heart throbs loud and quickly as hear
it rising clearer.
Youth is mine, its hopes and visions, dreams ana
plans are mine again.
Earth is fairer, life is sweeter, ay, and heaven
itself seems nearer
To me, as list in fancy to that ne'erforgotten
strain.
