RANKIN OF MASON CITY

Wes-note that by recent changes in
the official of the seth regiment of
the Iowa National Guards there is a
vacancy in the office of Major. and
that one of the announced candidates
for the position is Capt. Wiley S.
Rankin of the company at Mason
City. While we know that nothing
this paper can say may have influence
among the members of the Guards
who has have to do the voting in the
matter. we cannot refrain from Civ
ing our endorsement to Capt. Rankin
as a man and soldier. Capt. Ran
kin comes from a family of soldiers.
His grandfather and father were men
who carried arms for the govern.
ment. and in the home. the military
spirit has been encouraged. Captain
Rankin thus grew up with the love
of military drill and maneuvers of
troops in his make up. and this has
been the dominant trend of his life.
Fifteen years ago when Wiley
Rankin was boy in the Mason City
high school he was instrumental in
organizing the High School Cadets
and we we'll remember seeing the
lads under his drill racing under
orders on the school ground. or lining
up to go through the manual Of arms.
That group OF boys was the nucleus
of Co. GA" from Mason City which
responded to the call when the state
needed help in preserving order at
Sioux City. Later composed of the
dover of the young manhood of Mason
City Co. A embarked on the cars to
sacrifice their lives on field of battle
or in unhealthy condition which mean
living death from disease. Wiley
Rankin went out as Second Lieuten-
ant. The company went to Chat
anooge and there in loathsome camp
bows sickened and died. In those
trying time Lieutenant Rankin's kind
heart was open for the aid Ut his
comrades. and many sick boy has

CHANGES IN BANKING LAWS
Secretary Of State Beard Nskss Recon-
msndatisnI to Legislature
NUMBER OF INSPECTIONS INCREASED
Cutting on of Passes NecessitateH a
Larger Appropriation for the
Expenses of the Board and
the Examiners.
fFrom a star Correspondent


LINCOLN, Jan. 1o.-(special. )-Secretary
Royse Of the State Banking board has made
the following recommendations to the legis-
lature:
While the banking act of this state in the
main has proven very satisfactory, expe-
Renee has shown that some needed amend
ments are required to make II effective.
Under the present provisions banks under
the supervision Of this department are re-
CURED t. pay for but one e kan .S eae
times necessary to make more than one
examination each year in order to keep
the requirements of the law enforced. This
is usually due to the negligence or In
competency of the management OF the
bank, and would respectfully recommend
an amendment providing that an exam
nation fee shall be paid for each exam
inatlon found necessary by the department.
There Is no reason why in eases where
the management makes more than one ex-
animation necessary, that the work should
be done for nothing.
With regard to surplus fund, under
the present revenue law a bank Is taxed
on It's capital. surplus and undivided
profits. This provision OF the law has 9
fhsndency 70 b dG0Hrs S on tns par nS
which is certainly safeguard to the sol
vency of a bank, and the department be-
lieves that IL would be wise to only tax
the capital and surplus up to the point
where the surplus equals 20 per cent OF
the capital. This would have tendency
10 encourage the building UP OF surplus
which could not be but beneficial.
Extending Loan Limit.
1t is further recommended that the pres
ent banking act be amended so that 0
bank may loan 90 per cent of its capital
and surplus to any one individual, firm OIL
corporation, instead of 20 per cent OF It's
capital, as now provided.
The appropriation for each examiner by
the last legislature was 81, 200 for the bien'
mum, making $500 each year for expenses
which includes transportation. II must bS
evident to the lawmaking body that thii
sum is entirely inadequate unless the ex-
aminers accept free railroad Transports
ton IL, In the opinion of the next legie
lature, the railroad pass is an evil anC
should be abolished. the present banking
act should be amended and appropriation
made sufficient to cover the travelling ex
penses OF the examiners, which. Il Is estl
mated, would require appropriation
about double the amount heretofore appro
priated.
My predecessor recommended that this
word "bank' be defined by statute, and
my experience bears him out in making
the recommendation. The statute should
provide that the word bank" OF banker
be used only by an,indlvidual, firm or cor
porationt chartered to do a banking busi
ness, and tie word "bank'' or bank ng
be specifically defined as doing any one o
the following: Receiving deposits, payini
checks buying and selling exchange.
Pursuing any one or all of the above al
a business should constitute a bank o.
banking business and necessitate a prope
authorization by the supervising authoritie
OF the state. ...
