STATE BANKING REFORMS.

From the published summary of its report
the recommendations of Governor Hughes's
special commission Cd state banks and trust
companies seem fair and reasonable. neither
more nor less than the situation demands. The
recent panic showed that these institutions.
more especially the trust companies, were an
element Of danger In the financial situation.
Their comparative freedom from restrictions
both In the matter of loans and reserves had
been abused. They had practised style of
banking which brought great rewards and, so
long as prosperity continued, was attended with
little danger but whose hazardous character
was apparent as soon adversely set in. Their
loans were often not Of character to COM
mend them to conservative fnanciers, and their
piiing up of enormous deposit credits upon ex-
frernely slight reserves defed the lessons of
banking.
The commission advises the correction Of these
evils by enlarging the powers Of the State SUI
perintendent of Banks and by restrictive leg
islation regarding the character and extent of
loans permissible; and, further, by requiring the
maintenance by these institutions OF practically
the same reserves which are maintained by
national banks. To the State Superintendent
the commission would grant power to veto the
formation of state banks and trust companies
by persons who in his opinion, had not the
perience the character fitting them to ell
gage in banking. 1t is proposed to end the
scandal of banking receiverships by similarly
enlarging the authority of the State Superin-
tendent, and requiring him TO take charge of
insolvent state institutions as the Controller Of
the Currency takes charge of national banks
In the same condition. /. is estimated that the
cost of receiverships will thus be cut down to
about 10 per cent. Similarly, the proposed in
crease In reserves corresponds to the provision
-
peg cent in Manhattan and Is per cent in the
smaller cities. The requirement of % per ceut
in this city is modified by permission to keep
10 per cent on deposit In another bank, con-
cession which recognizes that a part of a trust
companys business consists of time accounts.
The restrictions on loans aim at checking the
development, especially within the trust COM

The baseball team from Barelas
calmly and easily walked off with the
amateur championship of New Mexico
at Traction park yesterday afternoon
before a big crowd of fans.
Barelas defeated Socorro with ease
by score of to and as easily put
the Geronimos out of business by a
score of 13 to s. 1t was walk away
for the suburb. and their hackers
were justified In a riotous display of
enthusiasm.
Hagerman pitched the game for So
corro, with Cook for the Barelas. The
lanky boy from the south proved a
somewhat easy mark for the Barelas
bunch and did not sustain the repu
tation which. he has carried through
the season for Socorro as a life sized
phenomenon, although he pitched
good ball.
The game was without exciting fea-
lures.
In the second game it looked like
a shut out for the Geronimo team un-
til the sixth inning, when Gonzales,
who was pitching for the Barelas,
filled the bases and Riley Edwards, of
the GerOnimos. distinguished himself
by emptying them with a long dis
tance drive to the outfield fence,
which scored four of the six runs.
Barelas, however, had too great a
lead, and in spite of three pitchers.
Hildebrand, Archer and Edwards, put
up in succession by the Geronimos,
they couldn't stop the fireworks.

series, carries off the seasons south
