Sentiment for strong laws regarding

Recent events in orr state have forced
home the conviction upon all that pro-
vision should be made by law for a
thorough examination OF the affairs and
conditions Of all State banks. There is
a difference Of opinion as 10 the best
mode Of conducting such examinations.
some advocate the establishment OF an
other commission. with provision for
chief and assistant examiners and all
the ramifications OF a top-heavy bureau
at very heavy expense.

In my opinion. II would be much bet
ter to put the matter OF bank examina-

the State corporation commission: and
to require that every State bank shall
be examined az such times as may be
designated by the said commission. and
by licensed, expert accountants accep-
table TO the said commission. II made
compulsory on the part OF every State
bank. such examinations by reason OF
their great number could be probably
made by expert accountants at a much
