SUPERVISION OF BANKS.

The passage by the Washington leg,
islature Of the foreign banking houses
or branch banks except such as are ere
ated under the national banking law
or under the laws of the state of Wash
ington, and all foreign banks now re
ceiying deposits in this state will be
obliged To set apart a certain capital
to be employed in their operations in
this state. which shall in no ease be
less than the minimum capital required
for the organization of national bank,
which is not less than $4,000 in the
smaller communities and not less than
$4,000 in larger towns, says the Ia.
coma Ledger. The branches of foreign
banks will not be allowed TO advertise
any larger capital than is actually EN-
ploycd at each branch in this state.
The legislature has taken step in
the right direction in requiring in all
cases the employment of a certain fixed
capital in every institution, which must
not be impaired and which is seeur-
ity to depositors. But the state of
Washington should 60 further and
should subject every state bank or
other institution receiving deposits, ex.
cepting the national banks, over which
the state has no supervision, 10 such
examinations as from time TO time are
made by the national bank examiners
of every institution organized under
the national banking law The state
should have state banking depart
ment, with superintendent and eX-
aminers, for there is no other way of
being sure that the capital of baak
is not actually impaired. Assets which
are questionable, past paper and all
doubtful items should be charged of
under the direction Of the banking de-
partment, in order that the published
statements Of the banks should be be-
yond question. 1t is not enough to re-
Quire the publication Of statement
OF assets and liabilities from time TO

the direction OF the comptroller of the
currency in the case Of all national
banks and most of the states have
banking departments organized on a
similar plan. The object is 90 protect

state TO look carefully into the condi
