PREVENT ENLIGHTENMENT

In view of the vast embezzlement
% easily accomplished by Teller AL
'ord, Secretary Gage, Of the United
States Treasury department., makes
he following suggestions to bank
managers on safeguard against
hose that handle the cash.
IN my opinion, the system Of
national bank examinations now in
effect is as good as any that could
De made. The primary object of the
examiner is to see that the bank
loes not do business in excess OF
the amount of it's securities and to
take cognizance of the condition of
the institution generally, while, in
eidentally, if possible, any dishonesty
by individuals, if any exists.
THE examiner, however, can
scarcely ever detect defalcations
such as Alvord wss guilty Of The
principal on which the note teller
worked is best illustrated in this
way:
II open an account at bank and
leave with the teller $10O and the
teller puts both the ticket and the
cash in his pocket. Then another
man comes along and deposits $100.
That 500 is entered to my account,
and the second depositor will have
no actual cash to his credit until
thru man comes along, whose de-
posit will go to slraighten out the
account of the second.
"Alvord handled hundreds of
thousands daily, SO that he was en-
abled to pocket large amounts and
cover up his tracks. 1t would be i'm
possible for the examiners to go
over the work of individuals often
enough to keep everybody straight,
and the only scheme tina. suggests
itself to my mlns is 10 duplicate or
triplicate the machinery Oh the bank
by celebrating the system of checks
and balances.
This would mean a great increase
in the expense of conducting the
banks, which think you would finu
the public would have 10 pay for, anu
it would also interfere with the
prompt dispatch of business to such
an extentas to be almost intolerable
to Americans, who are in the habit
of having their banking affairs
transacted quickly
"The Canadian and English banks,
perhaps have the best system, but
even they are unable to do away
with the Objectionable delay. The
best method of securing against
peculations is by not keeping one
employe at the same worn too long,
by having more than one man to
handle the accounts, and insisting
upon all hands taking vacation at
least once a year. In their absence
any irregularities will most likely be
brought to light and the bank saved
heavy losses.
"The next heaviest defalcation
that | recall is that in a Boston bank
some twenty-five years ago. The
cashier would never go away, even
so long as day, and one morning
tainted over his aesk. The presi-
dent insisted upon his going home
for the day, but the cashier was on
hand bright and early the next day
to open the mail, OF which he had

the survey.
1t is expected that dirt will fly in
the construction work in the next ten
days. The Helena Herald publishes
he following interview:
"W. G. Conrad, the Great Falls
banker, who is in the city, told a
Helena man today that the plan to
build a railroad from Kalispell to Flat
head lake would surely be carried out
and that the work would probably be
completed before Christmas. The new
railroad will open region rich in
timber and develop great numbering
enterprises already projected. A

stood that the projectors of the rcad
hope eventually to connect with the

| and passed a resolution calling on Congress
| to appoint special committee to inquire

above described, to the end that suitable
legislation may be provided to remedy Ibis
