There are many who believe that the Brosius bill, which has jast passed the lower House of Congress, will be highly beneficial to the country at large. IT
 permits the establishment of national
 banks with capital of $20, 900 in place, containing population of 4,000 or less. Statistics shows that the present nation al bank capital averages $l7S, 1000, while that of state banks is $sS, 900, and that of private banks Is $3l, ,00O. There are 2,sl0 towns with populations of less than 4,000 souls which contain 66 per cent of the American people. Congressman Hill
 in an interview on this bill says: "In some sections of the country there has been a growing need for other banking accommodations in towns where $50, GOO cannot readily be raised for banking pur- poses. This inequality in the distribu, tion of national banks is, in his opinion, one of the marked features of the system. In the eastern and middle states banks are abundant and the change in the law which Is made in the bill that passed the House yesterday will not be ayailed of to any considerable extent. It will meet with great favor in the western and southern states, where there Is a great dearth of banks. He referred to letter which MT Van voorhis of Ohio, another member of the committee, had received from gentleman in Atlanta, who is the president of 15 private banks in Georgia, all of which he will convert into nation al institutions if this bill becomes law. The effect of such law, MT Hill main- tains, cannot be over-estimated so far as the western and southern states are con- cerned. He thinks 1t will result in cap italists investing their money in the small national banks that will be established, and this will be beneficial, of course to the communities where this money Is aent. It may also result In reduction of the rates of interest now charged, and
