the Davidson bill which provides that

Bashford spoke OF the advantages TO
be gained from the bill If il pass. He
said the bankers Lobby is in favor Of
the Davidson bin. but he thought his
substitute was more efficient and
economical. He said his substitute In

in the bills is In the provision stating
who is To act as bank examiner. The
substitute. said he gives the state
treasurer charge Of the matter with
the power Of appointing a person res
ident in the vicinity to aid in the ex-
animation Of institutions. He called
attention 10 the fact that
twenty years ago there We're
more insurance companies doing
business in the state than now and
the whole work was done by one man
in the secretary Of states office. He
thought a separate bank examiner
would be shown such attention by
bankers on his travels that his mead
would be turned and he would not be
able TO do his duty with fairness. He
called attention to the failure Of the
national bank examiners in obtaining
the standings Of banking institutions
