An unusual thing is taking place IN

more Office blocks. Wichitans have
custom Of moving into down town build

custom has come up against a stone
wall. This spring the people moved out

lence incident to enforced liquidation ana
reorganization as new associations and be
anordeo ample time to take the prelimin-
airy steps necessary to an extension before

Among the recommendations the control
Ter renews those of his predecessors relat-
ing 10 the questions of loans TO officers and
directors, excessive loans, and the advisa-
bliity OF changing the method of compen-
sating national bank examiners from the
present fee system to a regular salary.
the controller refers to the need for more
elasticity in national bank currency ana
says that somewhere between the views
OF the ardent advocates of asset currency
and those who oppose it as unsafe and un-
SOUND there should be found middle
ground Most of the more enlightened
countries of the world, he says, have some
kind of asset banking currency.
