Bank Commissioner chapin.

The report of the legislative com mittee which has investigated the Southbridge bank failure, is, in effect, an indorsement of the position taken by Bank Commissioner Chapin, that the state ought to make an actual and complete audit of the accounts of Mas sachusetts savings banks. While the report does in substance point out thaN the law already calls for such an in- spectfon, in the committee's opinion. the fact remains that since the law was enacted in lss4, there has never been any such searching Inquiry chiefly because there has been no force of inspectors sufficiently large to make such a system possible. IL would be well ftting that the new system or audits should who has repeatedly urged that he be allowed a force sufficient to carry his ideas into effect, and he has the con- fidence of the banking community In this state sufficiently and f.. such large measure that the system could be inaugurated under no better man. And as he has pressed so strongly for more rigid and more searching in- spection, the indorsement of his gen- eral proposition by the legislative committee should make the way easy for the legislature to give him the de- sired authority and force fin his bu- reau.
 As treasurer of the commonwealth, as bank commissioner MT. chaptn has used his influence and his prestige on the side of sound finance, always. It would be well in keeping, therefore, if the new system of audit should begin with his administration. He has made 1t clear that the state can improve the present system, and his ideas on that point have been tho best and most clearly presented. His sugges- tons, and the practical tndorsement of those suggestions by the investigat- ing committee, are surely worth the consideration of the legislature. The lesson of the Southbridge dedication should not be forgotten nor neglected. Boston Advertiser,
