A BANKING MONOPOLY.

''The state banking board of Okla
homa is asserting the right to regulate
the number of state banks a town or
city shall have" says the Chicago Tri-'
bune "It has refused a charter to
one bank on the ground that the
place where it was to operate had
enough already.
presumably the law under which
the board acts gives it the discretion
airy power it claims. If so, the power
elements of danger
"In state which is the sworn
enemy of monopolies it is strange that
anything savoring of local monopoly
in the banking business should be adj
vocated by any except the monopolists.
The people of every town or village
usually hail the opening of a new bank
as an addition to the wealth of the
place and an assurance that the
needs of business men and farmers
will be better looked after.
eff a state banking board is not
made up of bankers and shrewd bust
ness men it moves blindly when it at
tempts to gauge the banking needs of
community. If it listens to the ad-
vice of outsiders it may get advice
from men who are directly interested
in preventing the organization of some
new bank. If the applicants for a
charter, though otherwise unex-
eeptionsble, are personal or political
enemies of members of the board.
nothing could be easier than to an
nounce that the communities they
wish to do business in do not need
their services.
IL Oklahoma intends to regulate
the number of banks a town shall
have it may in time go step farther
and regulate the number of grocery
stores and drug stores a place shall
have. There are few which do not
have more than they really need. A
surplus Of stores is much more COM
mon than a surplus of banks"
