SAVINGS HAS
NO FRIENDS
BANKERS ASSOCIATION FAILS
TO DEFEND PLAN OR TO
FAVOR GUARANTY.

Chicago, Sept. 1s.-Not voice was
raised today in defense of the postal
savings bank plan in the sessions of
the American Bankers association con-
veation, nor was a word uttered in
favor of guaranty deposits, state or
national banks. In formal reports, in
speeches and in impromptu remarks
both ideas were repeatedly scored by
the bankers, who were, apparently. of
one mind in opposing the two reliefs
offered for the financial condition.
Attacks Plan.
In the savings bank section Henry
Henschen of Chicago attacked the
postal savings bank by declaring that,
if the good of the country demanded
that the experience of trusted and in
telligent men as custndians of the peo-
pies savings be disregarded and the
custudianship turned over to third and
fourth-c class postmasters. the bankers
would acauiesce. but that, If the well
such action, the bankers would protest
in no uncertain tones.
President George NJ. Reynolds. the
head of the bankers association. con-
graduated the savings bank section on
it's steady opposition to the savings
bank idea. President Reynolds prophe-
sled that within year there would he
such a revision of the national banking
laws as would permit national banks
to accept savings deposits.
The members of the standing law
and federal legislative committee os
the association discussed the question
of securing national legislation placing
the taxation of banking institutions
on an equal basis. *H.*@.
A Resolution.
resolution was offered to put the
savings bank section on record as ia
foring the segregation of savings de-
posits, but it was referred to a COM
mittce without action. Comment was
made by several of the bankers on
the bank guaranty law and its effect In
Oklahoma in direct contradiction to
the praise Of state Supervisor Young
of Oklahoma. at the meeting of the
bank supervisors early i'm the week.
William p. Grcere of Cleveland was
elected president of the savings bank
section.

CODY EXPLAINS
 BANKING BILLS
FIGHT FOR EXAMINERS IS NOT AN ATTEMPT OF NATIONAL BANKS TO CRUSH OR INJuRE SMALLER STATE INSTITUTIONS.

Montgomery August 12.-(Special) )--M. Cody, member of the legislative com- mittee of the Alabama Bankers associa- tion, was compelled to leave the city yes terday for few days on business. Be- fore leaving, in discussing the banking bills now before the legislature, MT. Cody said:
 T regret to leave before the bills are reached, but l feel confident of their passage. l have heard not a single ob- Jection made to the bill regulating branch banks. The only difference of opinion in this subject Is that some would make the regulation more stringent than oth- CTS.
 ''To the bill providing two assistant bank examiners 1 have heard but one ob- jection. Some of the smaller banks think the state ought to pay their salaries and expenses. The overwhelming necessity for at least two assistants is upon us. With one examiner to examine over 200 banks, the whole system becomes a farce and brings the state banking department into contempt. The assessment provided in the bill Is a trifle compared to the ben eGts. tn
 T have heard that some of the small banks are writing to their senators and representatives that this whole thing is move on the part of the national banks to put the state banks out of business. I cannot believe that any legislator will be influenced by such protest. In 1903 l was president of a state bank with no thought of ever going Into a national bank, and drew the first bill ever passed providing state supervision of state banks and did all l could to pass 1t. Later be- came the president of national bank and at this time l am president of both a state and a national bank. l say to the members of the legislature that the closer supervision by the government over national banks gives them the advantage before the people. As both state and q national banker I want to see our state banking system brought up to at least a parity with the national system.
 q want to disclaim and repudiate the idea that there is any hostility between the national and state banks. Their com petition has been friendly and they do business with each other on the most cordial terms. The national banks have no interest in these state banking bills beyond the desire to see the whole bank ing business of the state built up and conducted under such a system of state supervision as will promote the business of us all.
 'As president of a state bank I have direct interest in state supervision and I want to see the standing of the state banks improved. With the whole state laughing at our system of examination as farce my state bank along with every other state bank is in danger of suffering in the public respect and con- fdence."

 ance-Gadsden News.
MORE MEN GO TO WORK

Gadsden. August (Special)-H c. Higgins of Illinois, president of the Tri-Cites Gas company, Is in the city making arrangements for the comple- tion of the plant, which was started over two years ago and delayed be- cause of the panic. It is now neces- sary for the company to get it's mains laid before the street paving is begun, and work on this will no doubt be be- gun within few weeks. It is the intention of the company to make arti ficial gas for this city, Alabama City and Attalla. The main building for the plant is already up and ready for the machinery.
 Another 75 men were put to work at the steel plant this morning, making the force now employed about 300. A number of machin1sts from Ensley were among the number to go to work today.
 The Walnut street extension of the Alabama City, Gadsden and Attalla railroad has now been completed and tuo LISl cdIS were OpeTdCou over the new track this morning. This takes the line little farther into the resi- dence section of that part of the city and an increased patronage will un- doubtedly result.
 Prof. T. c. Moore of the Moore Uni versity school of this city is putting up new building near his present structure in order to care for the in creased patronage. As the city schools are certain to be crowded beyond their capacity, and the Moore school is de- servedly popular, this addition to it's facilities will be fully appreciated by the public.
 The county commissioners have been inspecting various farms recently with the view of purchasing site for the county farm. The old farm, which is In South Gadsden, near the steel plant, was sold some months ago for 5000. The old site had considerable low land and was otherwise undesira- ble for the purpose and a more favor able location Is being sought. It Is more than probable that the farm will now be located on the Turkeytown road.
