clearing Lodses. ana proDapiy the pub lie would be amazed were they to know at times how sharply the clear ing house committee looks Into meth ods employed by its members.
 In the panic that began last October, funds were carried from bank to bank, taken ostentatiously through the front doors. that deposltors might know that other banks believed in the soundness of the institution which had been at tackled by a run. and performed ai- most every essential of tho guarantee system.
 Why1
 Simply because the modern business system Is so complicated md so little actual money passes current that each bank must know that the others nre properly safeguarding themselves and also that they are permitting the car, rying of accounts by depositors whose paper may always be depended on as worth face value.
 Beneath the Surface.
 So beneath the surface, one could witness the clearing house associa- tions examining collateral, securities and assets, and often serving notice on a given bank that the association will require some change in methods on penalty of refusal longer to clear for that bank.
 Banks Out of the Association.
 How about banks not in the assoca- ton? Many perfectly sound banks are not directly in the clearing house. They clear through another bank which does belong.
 Precisely the same rule applies to them, for, when need arises, the asso- clation serves notice on the member. bank which clears for the non-asso- ciation bank as to what will have to be done; and 1t Is done promptly, too, in every instance.
 Bank Book Should Be Worth Face.
 The essence of the guarantee plan is that bank book should be worth its face always. An entry in pass book should not constitute the assumption of risk by the depositor and the giv- ing of wide latitude to the banker. Such entry should be recognized as just as actual an asset as bank note.
 Also, proper arrangements must be made for the continued espionage of banks by other banks.
 Lastly, and quite as important, banking laws must be enforced; over certifcation must be stopped; loaning of funds in national banks on obvious ly speculative schemes must cease; and other reforms must be wrought to invest the banking system of the country with that complete confidence which, if induced would put stop to all nervousness by depositors.

SOME GOOD EVIDENCE.
Former Secv Gage and Cong Fowler
 on the Depxsit Committee.
tBy John E. Lathrop.1

tBy John E. Lathrop1
 Lyman J. Gage, former secretary of the treasury, may be regarded as sui ficiently conservative" to obviate fears that he would be 'unsafe' in his banking views. Before the house con- mittee on banking and currency in Washington Mir. Gage discussed na- tional finances and particularly the na- tional bank. He sought an illustration of tie idea he was expressing. which in general was in support of the guar antee plan. and like many others found 1t in the Walsh fsilure in Chi cago.
 After explaining how the clearing house banks took over the assets of the failed institution. guaranteed all depositors, and prevented runs on oth- CT banks, Mir. Gage said:
 MT. Gage's Statement.
 "Well, they learned another lesson end they adopted another principle, a principle provided for In this Cha Fowler, bill. By the vote and vol untary compliance of all the members of the Clearing House association, they authorized the clearing house at any time and at stated periods to act upon its own volition and on its own account, and for the information of the clearing house committee itself to have full, complete and comprehensive investigation of each member of the association, and not only of each mem- Der, but of every institution that car. ries the name of bank over it that is cleared or represented in the clearing house by any clearing house bank; and I can tell you as safe prophecy that we are at the end of disastrous fall ure in the city of Chicago by clearing house banks, since this regime has come in. I am told that Kansas City has the same thing. and other cities will eventually adopt It."
 Representative Fowler. Republican.
 Charles N. Fowler, Repubi can. of New Jersey, chairman of the house committee on banking and currency. appears in the Congressional Record with a house speech in support of his bill which provided for guarantee of bank deposits. He specially answered the assertion that such a guarantee would induce reckless banking. say ing:
 "Mr.. Chairman. we are occasionally met with the statement that guarantee of deposits would lead to unseund banking. . . Can you think of a banker, because be had insured his de- posits. going into the directors room
