there are many banks now In business
in this state with capital so small and
insignificant as to be no guarantee at
all to depositors, in fact many of
them have twenty or more depositors
who are worth from three to ten fold
more than the bank itself. A bank
that does not justify a capital paid In
of at least e25, 900, should not be per.
mitted to organize, for certainly the
stockholders should not desire to look
wholly to depositors for their entire
resources for extending accommoda-
lions and making commissions. Sec
ton 42s under Chapter 10, provides
that before a dividend shall be paid
all debts past due for six months, un-
less in process Of collection, shall be
charged OF, then tenth of the net
profits shall first be carried to surplus
accounts, until this account shall be
SO per cent Of the capital OF the bank.
We can not e anything in this pro-
vision to provoke the opposition Of a
judicious banker. But without re-
gard to the banking interests, the
law making power Of the State owes
Its first duty to the great masses who
own no banks and whose little savings
are intrusted to the keeping Of the
banker. These should be made safe.
Every possible safeguard should be
thrown around the workings OF banks
to insure the safe keeping and the
handling Of the funds Of widows and
orphans and those whose toll Is laid
up in the form Of a few dollars in the
vaults of a bank.
The Legal Reserve" section Of the
proposed law is but a reasonable re-
quirement, and is but the state de-
handing Of a bank, only in another
form, what any safe banker would re.
Quire Of a man seeking to borrow the
funds Of the bank.
Section 434 requiring inspection by !
the bank commissioner is a thing1
that should be courted by a prosper
Gus and healthy bank. To such an
institution it is a clean bill OF health
and another avenue to the confidence
Of the business world. For the bank
that does not measure up to the re-
luirementS of s~olvency dallying makes
conditions nc better, and the sooner
5he public is appriSed of its status the
ess i'll will follow. So we must con-
dude that good business will endorse
The new banking law or what it seeks
20 do. The public is entitled to more
from the state and safe
banking, based upon business prin
;iples that will commend them
elves to the best thought and COM
non sense Of the people, can but be
