HILLSDALE. MICH, JANUARY II, 1899

mitted 10 the governor. 1t shows that
during the year one state bank failed
and one went into voluntary liquida-
ton. while four were permitted TO de-
crease their capital. During the same
time five private banks failed. The
remarkable showing is made that dur
ing the year the deposits in state banks
increased in the enormous sum of $40,
625,6SS. while the increase in loans was
sS.SSs90S. The latter increase shows
that there is a vastly increased de-
mand for money for use in business.
For the same period the national banks
of Michigan show an increase in de-
posits Of more than $4,000 900.
Commissioner Maltz calls particular
attention to the law that prohibits
state banks from holding industrial
bonds when the security is upon other
than real estate, and he calls upon all
banks having such bonds to retire them
from their assets. He expresses the
opinion that loans upon unproductive
real estate should not exceed 40 per
cent. of the valuation OF the property,
and calls the attention of the legis-
lature to the fact that the banking law
provides no penalty for making exces-
sive loans which have caused most of
the bank failures in Michigan.
Amendments Recomm ended.
The use of corporate titles by private
banks is roundly condemned as tending
to deceive the public and the following
amendments TO the banking law are
recommended:
Il. That the annual meeting OF the
stockholders now held on the second
Tuesday of December be changed to
the second Tuesday of January, so that
the retiring officers may have an op-
portunity to make a full report of the
condition of the bank for the full cal
endar year.
p That loans made to officers or en-
ployes Of any bank shall first be sub
mitted to the directors for their ap-
proVal.
'3. That no person engaged in the
business Of private banking shall be
eligible as director or officer OF any
state bank.
a. That in section l the clause permit,
ting banks to organize with $4,000 cap
ital be stricken out, the commissioner
being of the opinion that no bank
should have a capital of less than s25,-
900.
"5. That in section SO the cause per-
mitting unlimited loans upon other col
lateral securities authorized by this act
be stricken out"
1t is further recommended that the
law providing for the Incorporation of
trust and security companies be amend
ed so that security debentures shall ap-
ply to all alike, so that each depositor
should have his deposit at the same
risk as all others.
The state commission appointed un-
der the provisions of the uniform text
book act passed two years ago held Its
first meeting here a day or two ago.

The insurance bills were prepared by
Insurance Commissioner Campbell and
introduced by Senator Lyon. One Of
them seeks 70 strengthen the anti
compact law by including the Mich gan
fire companies which are now exempt,
and the other provides that IL. during
any legal controversy with the insur-
ance department a foreign company
shall appeal TO the federal courts. such
action shall work revocation of that
company's authority TO do business in
Michigan. 1t is claimed by the COM
missioner that the only object sought
by the latter bill is to make the COM
panes seek their remedy in the state
courts and thus avoid the great delays
incident to the federal tribunals.

Very Few pc sons know that one OF
the greatest banking institutions in the
world guards itself against would-be
thieves in the same manner as farmers
in certain parts of Italy guard them
selves asdinst banGi s. namely. by pay
ing them tribute Yet the Bank Of
England has adopted this plan ever
since 1850 In that year the directors
received one day visit from a certain
clothier, who informed them chat he
had discovered q certain method OF
getting into the vaults of any bank. no
matter how well guarded they might
be- and that, having once gained ac-
cess, he could easily take away all the
money that he needed.
At first the directors laughed at him.
for there is no place more securely
guarded than the Bank Of ENGLAND.
but finally they agreed to put him to
the test. A time for the experiment
was fixed, and at that hour the direct
ors went down into the main vault
and waited for the clothier. The story
goes that they were not disappointed
and that the clOthier did actually get
into the vault.
The directors concluded that the best
way to guard against this willy gentle
man was to buy him off. and so they
agreed to pay him for life about $4,000
a year They made 10 secret of what
they had done, and naturally many
Others tried to profit in the same easy
fashion. Some showed them new
methods of stealing. and others
showed them new methods of pre-
venting theft. The directors listen
ed to all patiently, and if they found
anything or any one worth buying
they laid out money freely. Quite re-
Gently, 1t is said, they paid about 81, 900
to a young chemist for secret process
which he had discovered by means of
which counterfeit bank notes and wa
ter marks can be easily made. Alto
gether the Bank Of England, as its re-
ports will show, has spent large
amount of money in this way during
the past half century, yet 1t does not
regret the expenditure; nay, on the con-
trary, 1t regards the money paid for
such protection as an excellent Invest
ment.

No Advance For Tin Workers.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 2S.-President T.
]. Shaffer and other officials Of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron. steel
and Tin Workers, who went to Chicago
to confer with officers of the American
Tin Plate Company regarding wages
during the next two months, has re-
turned here.
On account Of the high price at which
tin is selling, the workers thought they
would get an advance. The trust Of
ficials told them, however, that, while
tin is now being quoted at $4.S71s per
box, the mills are still working on or
ders taken when the price was about
s425. President Shaffer asked why tin
plate plants in Pittsburg and elsewhere
are being closed, and was told that
Gamers and others who have hereto

much cheaper than by buying here at
