Of their assets to one Individual, which
now belongs. under strict compliance
With the present law, to the banks OF
the smaiier communities,
Referring to the violations OF the
present law, the comptroller gays:
a United States court, under the gem
eral provision OF the law providing for
the forfeiture OF the franchises OF bank
for any violation OF the banking act,
might adjudlclte the question of fact
as to such violations, but could apply
no other remedy than forfeiture Of
franchise.
Since the institution OF the national
banking system the violation Of this
provision hns been common; and the
comptroller, though allowing no known
violation to escape his written protest,
finds great difficulties in his endeaYors
to enforce this requirement.

! ,l24 banks, constituting nearly one
third OF the entire number OF banks in
the system. reported loans In excess Of
the limit allowed by section 800, Re-
VIsed Statutes OF the United States.
The comptroller then says:
The law limiting loans TO 10 per cent
OF the capital when applied TO the 3,265
banks Of the smaller communities OF
the country, as whole, would allow
the lOanlng OF 2,14Nper cent of their to-
tai assets to one Individual. As COM
pared With this, the banks Of the city
Of New York. on the average, could not
loan over ihty-siX one-hurdredths OF l
per cent OF their total assets TO any

not over ninety-eight hundredths per
cent OF their total assets; the banks
OF st, Louis not over IA per cent OF their
total assets; the banks OF other reserve
cities not over 1.5l per cent OF their to-
tai assets.
In other words, the proportion OF their
assets which the country banks of the
United States can loan, in strict COM
pliance with section 5000. to one lndlvld-
ual, Is slxty-tiirce One-hundredths Of
per cent greater IN 20l reserve cities,
seventy-fOur one hundredths Of ] per
cent greater than in ST, Louis, over
twice as great as In Chicago, and near
ly four times rs great as In the city Uf
New York.
He then says:
The habltual regard of the present
provision by the officers Of so many
banks Interferes with the proper super
vision Of the banks by the comptroller,
and tends to create Indifference to the
other restrictions Of the national bank
Ing Inv,
The failure OF the present law to pro-
vide the power to apply n proper per-
sOnal penalty for the making OF excess

comptroller in endeavoring to check
tendencies toward recklessness In loan

OF banking institution.

National sound Money League Con-

NEW YORK. Nov. ia meeting of
the executive committee of the Nation
al Sound Money league was held here
today. The following members were
present: NJ. e. Ingalls,, Cincinnati,
chairman; ]. K. Cowan, Baltimore; A.
b. Hepburn and Henry Hertz, New
DIRK, and &. V. Sn1alley, Of St. Paul,
general secretary. Most of the session
" as occupied in talk upon the signifi-
canoe of the results of the recent cleo
ton. Congressman. Fowler, Of New
Jersey, attended the meeting and gave
1t as his opinion that 1t would be good
policy to let the currency reform bill
OF the house banking committee remain
without action at the coming short ses-
sion, for the reason that it cannot be
gotten through the senate, and that to
debate it in the house would only de-
Velop antagonisms in the Republican
party that would weaken whatever
currency measure might be brought up
in the next congress. He thought that
the president should be urged to call
an extra session of the new congress
To convene in the spring for the enact
ment of the gold standard into a sta
tute law and the adoption of legis-
lation for the credit currency of the
country.
