To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
The article IN The Times regarding

we are trying 10 believe that the
director wants TO do what is right. and
we stiu think that he does not under

In regard 20 the piece work, a paper
was sent around 10 each section TO see
how many wanted 20 receive the salary
OF so month and how many wanted 20
90 on piece work and as near as 1

would have 10 90 on piece work after
he had been there a month. whether he
wanted 70 or not Then in a few days
another official came around and cues
toned us about piece work again, 10
see IL we had made any mistake or
changed our minds. so from that we
concluded that the director was a little
puzzled over the matter Quite a num-

CROWDED CAR PROBLEM
SOLVED IN WISCONSIN.

The State railroad commission Of
Wisconsin has solved that much-de-
bated problem, "When Is a street car

time ago the same question was an
issue IN our local courts. and was dodg-

authorities should prove interesting to
Neutrality-suspicious..
Under the direction Of the Wisconsin
commission an investigation of Nil

Of the commission took frequent rides

OF the day and night. for the purpose
Of making first hand observations. They
found that eight people fer every
forty 10 forty-two stand up from pref
erence, regardless of the number OF
seats unoccupied- Discussing the dis

says:

prefer TO stand on the platform for OBJ

REDUCING THE CHANCES OF
BANK FAILURES.

Comptroller OF the Currency Law
renee 0. Murray Is taking steps o
reduce the number Of failures 81
national banks TO a minimum by IN
dueing banking Institutions which zse
rot in satisfactory shape and seem
unable TO get into satisfactory shape
to 90 into voluntary liquidation UP-
der the law the Comptroller has no
authority TO compel bank to 90 int

done when two-thirds Of the STOCK

ness. The Comptroller, however, can
bring such influences TO bear as are
likely 10 result in voluntary liquida
ton OF bank that does not sppear
able TO keep its head above water ana
that has to be examined with more
than usual frequency.
The plan Is, briefly, in case any ma
tiOnal bank is in such condition as to
require four or more examinations a
year, 70 call together its officers and
directors and take up with them the
question OF voluntary liquidation. The
advantages Of this course over waiting
for a receivership VIII be presented 1t
can be pointed out that under volun-
tary liquidation the Gepositors viii be
paid III full. the shareholders viii save
part Of their original investment,
double liability of stock holdings will
be escaped, and the disgrace of an
other national bank failure viii also
be avoided. Under such circumstances
it Is quite likely the average board OF
directors would decide on voluntary
liquidation OF such reorganization Of
the banks business as would put II
on a sound basis
Practically all the failures of banks,
aside from those made insolvent by
theft, are due, in the experience OF
the Comptroller, to the fact that banks
which should have gone into voluntary
liquidation did not do So If the new
policy Is successful, 1t ought to reduce
the number of national bank failures
to an extremely low fl Ore No sub
stantiaI reason exists why, under strict
and proper Government supervision,
bank failures should not practically
cease. save in case OF theft or circUm-
stances of the most unusual sort The
sounder the national banking system,
the sounder the whole fabric of bank
ing, including State and private banks,
Is bound to be. Comptroller Murray
