in the reserve and central reserve cit
les short in the reserve the law re-
Quires them to keep. When 1t is re-
membered that, during all this time,
not single bank has been proceeded
against as required by law, the sus-
piciOn is not without justification that
there is some understanding by which
the treasury department" has become
party to these violations of law. It
appears that, in addition to special
privileges granted to national banks
by legislation, the executive is giving
to the more influential of these banks
the privilege to violate the law with
impunity. The reserve required by
law to be kept in cash by all national
dangerous even when the law is fully
complied with, and it is crime
against dcpositors and tho public to
allow it to be reduced below the legal
requirement.
Every man who is party to such
violation, or,who permits it when he
might prevent it, no difference what
his official position may be or what
his personal standing is, is a criminal
in morals and in law, and deserves
the fate of the Elkhart bankers.
1t is certainly good fortune to the
people of this country and to BUSH
ness and commercial interests that
there are still many bankers, who not
only live up to all the legal require
ments, but who do not even avail
themselves of the unwise provisions
OF the banking law, but conduct their
business in accordance with rules DEM
onstrated by century of banking ex-
perience to be the nearest approxima-
ton to absolute safety.
