bank at Hartford a credit of a certain
number of days, and the bank at Hart
ford sends 1t to a correspondent at
None Such who RENTS once in seven
days-in other words, the bank at Hart
ford extends a credit to the bank at
None Such of a certain number of
days. The check of Jones & Company
is paid by the bank at None Such and
the amount credited to the bank at
Hartford, but before remittance day
the bank at None Such fails, and the
bank at Hartford Immediately notifies
the New York bank of the fact, and de-
mands that the item be credited back
to their account and the New York
bank makes the same claim on the
correspondent at st. Louis, from whom
it received the item for similar credit.
The ST. Louis correspondent demands
repayment from the depositor of the
check, and he claims that the check
was paid, and he declines to refund
the money, disclaiming any RESPONSE
bility for the results of the credits ex-
tended by parties through whom the
check was passed-he declines to pay
unless the item is returned to him du-
ly protested.
Query-Who should lose the money?
Who should be the creditor of the in
solvent bank at None Such? The bank
at Hartford, the New York bank, the
st. Louis bank, or the original deposit
tor?
The subject of collections is one that
appeals to our best consideration, and
it is hoped that the discussion Of ques-
ton No. l on the programme will
evolve solution of this difficult prob
lem.
STATE BANKERS ASSOCIATION.
Our relations with the bankers as
sociations of the various states having
such organizations are close and salts
factory, and the representation they
will have by virtue of the amendments
to our constitution, at our last conven-
ton, will give them a potential voice
in our management and secure their
cooperation in obtaining needed legis-
lation and other measures to conserve
our common interest.
The American Bankers association
should and will preserve its popular
democratic, and representative char
acter, and at the same time can have
within itself, in executive council and its
state vice presidents, compact, dele
gated body, in which the state asso-
Citations will be largely represented, and
which can be clothed with discretiona-
ry power, which they could exercise
through each year for the benefit of
all the members.
THE HISTORY OF OUR ASSN.
The history of the American Bank
ers' association for the twenty-five
years which have elapsed since its or
ganization is closely interviewer with
our national history.
This record has been published, form
ing an encyclopedia of finance for that
period, and members will find 1t profit
able and interesting to add these vol
umes to their libraries.

COMPETITION.

Competition in business is it's life
within well-defined limits, but beyond
those limits it is far from profitable or
wise. ~
If it were not for unwise competition
no interest would be paid on deposits
by banks of discount, and no collections
would be made at loss in exchange
and time.
If we become members of this asso-
citation exclusively for all there is in
it''( 1 quote this expression) for our
selves or the banks with which we are
connected, that motive is far from
commemorate, and intensely selfish.
We associate ourselves in this asso-
citation to advance the interests of our
profession not for personal honors
or gains; not to increase the business
of the banks which we represent by
solicitation of accounts already estab-
lished, for this can only be done by Of
fensive interference with the business
of our fellow members.
We have been sarcastically called a
Mutual Admiration Society,"" / ac-
cept it literally, and rejoice in the I'll
tie, but let us avoid being stigmatized
as Society for Mutual Piracy"
Instead of making our sole effort to
get out of this association all that we
can for individual profit, rather let us
put into it, it's affairs, its management
and it's fields of labor, all that is in us,
to contribute all we can to the best
and highest interests of our fraternity.
We have assembled here on this oc
casion, coming from the north and the
south, from the east and the west, but
we are not divided geographically or
by sectional differences.
We are proud, even in these troub-
lous times, to call ourselves American
citizens
/ assume that it is the purpose of
each and every member of this asso-
citation to be honest in all the relations
| of life, even political A man who is
politically dishonest is unworthy of
| confidence in business.
Nations are made up of individuals,
and national honesty should be as pre-
cious to each individual as his personal
| honesty.
Honesty is the corner stone of good
| character in the individual and the
nation alike:
The american Bankers association,
1
has stood for honesty individual hon
esty, official honesty, national honesty.
1t has always stood for honest money
for an honest dollar, worth 100 cents
and accepted as such in all the markets
of the world.
In the past it has boldly, unhesitat-
ingly and repeatedly given utterance
to these views-it has assured it's de-
clarationst in print and scattered them
broadcast all over our land.
We should occupy the same position
today, and, far from desiring to modi-
fy our past record, we should confirm
and reiterate it with emphasis.
In times of prevailing business de-
preston, widespread discomfort and
general unrest. the various elements
among the people that in prosperity

The subject of restrictive endorse
ments has attracted considerable at
tention lately, and the clearing houses
of our country have taken action in re-
gard to the matter.
1t is understood now by the banks
and bankers in our country that abso-
lutely plain endorsements are required
and that no other endorsement should
be made or accepted
There is one matter that should re-
ceive the earnest attention of our mem
bers, and that is in regard to items on
distant points sent as cash to their
correspondents.
A New York bank, for example, re-
ceives check from its st. Louis cor
respondent, drawn by Jones & Com
pany for one thousand dollars on the
None Such National bank, of None
Such, Connecticut, and sends that item
to its correspondent at Hartford (con-
tiguous to None Such) as cash. The
bank at Hartford RENTS once in ten
days for such items-in other words,
the New York bank extends to the
