RankIng Laws Defective.

In connection with the investigation
of the affairs OF the Southern Interstate
Bank, attention is called to alleged de-
fects in the Virginia banking laws. John
A. Lamb, counsel for the protesting
stockholders, makes the following state
ment. "The present law is defective,
for the reason that a corporation, to con.
duct bankiog business, can be formed
with capital as small as 81, or as large
as may be determined by the incorPo-
rators. And this bank could then con-
duct business without any Of this stock
being paid for, and, therefore, without
any tangible or real capital.
ITO illustrate: Five totally irrespon'
sible person, could apply 10 the corpo-
ration commission for charter, and up
on payment of the specified tax, the
commission would be compelled TO grant
the charter, and these FIVE persons could
proceed to conduct q banking business
without having dollars worth OF paid
up stock. 80,
"In my opinion, the statute should Dc
so changed as to require the incorpora,
tors to have st least its minimum capital
stock paid in full. This is true OF in,
surance companies under our statute, and
the law should be 80 amended as to sp--
DIV to banks. Another thing we need
is a state bank examiner. The system
of having the national banks examined
has proven beneficial to the banks and a
protection to the stockholders and deposit
fora -
