rency, which will be laid before congress
tomorrow, gives information in detail
in regard to the organization, supervis-
ion. and liquidation of the national banks
for the year ended Oct. 81, 1895, and sim
liar information as far as obtainable rel
ative to banks. banking companies, and
savings Institutions organized and do
ing business under the laws of the sew
eraI states and territories. Recommen-
dation for changes in the law are made
as follows:
That he controller with the approval
of the Secretary of the Treasury be en-
powered to remove officers and directors
of national banks for violations Of the law
and mismanagement
ecutive officers and employees be made only
uDon approval of the board Of directors.
That The assistant cashier. in the ab-
sence of the cashier, be authorized to
sign the circulating notes of the bank.
That some class of public officers be
empowered TO administer the general
oaths required by the national bank act.
That bank examiners be required to take
an oath of office and execute "A bond be-
fore entering upon the discharge Of their
That upon a day in each year to be des-
ignated by the controller. the directors Of
national banks sndI De required 10 make
an examination of the affairs of the banks

thereon.
That the controller be authorized to Is
sue to national banking associations cir
culating notes to the par value of the
bonds deposited by them.
That the semi-annual tax levied on ac-
count of the circulating notes Of nationai
banks be reduced so as TO equal but one
fourth Of 1 per cent. per annum
Controller Eckels is of the opinion that
ment by the substitution OF a bank note

immeasureably great. The need Of main
