PAY BANK INSPECTORS
BY ANOTHER METHOD
To This End Amendment to Law Is
Suggested by Faribault Failure
Globe Special Washington Service


1417 G Street
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. e.
AS result of the Faribault bank fall
IRE the comptroller of the currency is
to ask congress to alter the national
bank inspection act and the law gov
erning the payment of inspectors. The
latter are paid by the bank instead of
by the day, the price for a $4,000
capital bank being $40. The conse-
quence is that the inspector hurries
through the towns. doing a bank a
day, when he might better stop and
do two or three days work on a sin
gle bank if it appeared to be in bad
way. The law also needs an amend
ment creating a penalty for officials of
"a bank who disobey the statute for
bidding the loan of more than 10 per
cent of the capital stock to an indi
Vidual or corporation. 1t is probably
too late this session to secure the de-
sired legislation, but Senators Clapp
and Nelson are interesting themselves
