The tabular summary in regard to

panies are provided for; qualifications
of directors and their duties; process
ses in insolvency. restrictions on real
estate loans; limitations on other in
vestments; and the maximum deposit
allowed to an individual. The tabular
summary in regard to trust companies
shows gaps in legislation in certain
States, but in those where trust
company law has been fully worked
out, many. if not most of the ques-
lions dealt with under banks are dis
cuSSed.

BANKING LAWS
Summarized for Use Of
Monetary Commission.
Information on Banks, Savings

Legislation in the Various States
On Banking Business.

Washington, February THE bank
Ing laws Of all the States and Terri
tories of this country have been sum :
married. and compared in a remark
ably clear and useful digest. issued to-
day under the auspices of the National
Monetary Commission as another out
put Of it's exhaustive investigation Of
banking and financial operations and
conGltlons In this and other countries.
Iris digest, practically unique in
scope, is the work of Samuel A. Well
don, of the New York bar, and in its
preparation the compiler has had the
assistance of the banking officials Of
most of the States. Although for
practical reasons the compilation has
been sharply condensed, it makes Il
volume of $50 pages. so comprehensive
In its treatment of the varying laws
of the several jurisdictions that it will
prove invaluable to all students of
banking and of bank legislation and
will no doubt be in great demand.
1t has not been attempted to pre-
sent anything but the substance of
the statutes. for the reason that Il
digest dealing with their application
or Interpretation would involve great
LABOR and fiji! an amount Of space
greater than the commission thought
proper to give to the subject. The di-
gest deals with the general corporation
laws of the States Gas distinguished
from the banking laws) only where
they were particularly accessible or the
bank statutes left blanks which need
ed to be supplied. Provisions of the
state laws dealing with circulation are
omitted as being of no practical val
ue. in view of the present control of
circulation by the national banks.
The statutes are systematized as
far as possible under the head of each
state by division into three general ,
captions-banks. savings banks, and
trust companies-but in some cases
material which applies to one or more
classes is presented under one head |
Under each of the three captions the |
following twelve subheads appear
l. Terms of Notwithstanding

H. Liabilities and duties of stock |
holders and directors.
III. Supervision, including reports I
and examinations.

While it has not been possible, where
the statutes went into elaborate detail,
to give all their provisions in regard
to minor matters, such as the duties
of state officials, legal processes, form
of pass books, and legal proceedings
for assessing stockholders, references
are given which enable a competen,
attorney to turn quickly to anything
desired on these subjects.
One of the most valuable features
of the report, from the standpoint of
general research. is the summaries of
the legislation in each State govern
ing the principal subjects of banking
law, arranged in tabular form. There
is a table for commercial banks, one
for savings banks, and one for trust
companies. These tables set forth in
a striking and comprehensive way 8?
items in the banking statutes of A.
of Columbia. Thus, it is possible at a
glance to determine in general way
the leading features of the law of each
State and their comparative relation
to the laws of other States. Among
the items dealt with in regard to state
banks are the minimum capital re-
quired; percentage of capital required
to be paid in to begin business; whcr
the remainder must be paid; require
ments as to surplus; liability of stock
holders; number of directors and their
qualifications: number of examinations
by directors required; special banking
supervisor, if any, with his term of
office; cases where supervision o.
banks is assigned to other officials
bank reports required; publication of
unclaimed deposits; official examina-
tions; minimum reserve requirements,
and what proportion must be cash;
limitations on loans, including real
estate; and provisions regarding
branches.
The table relating to state banks
shows that the minimum capital re-
quirement is in many cases below
that of the national banking law, even
Sii'tC tIioL was I0tuCtu Ill lJvu " FSc,-
900. Among the cases where the mini
mum is comparatively low are: Ala
bama, $4,000; Colorado, $4,000; Flor
ida, $4,000; Kansas. $4,000: Kentucky,
$4,000; Louisiana, $4,000; Minnesota.
$4,000: Mississippi, $4,000; Missouri,
$4,000; Nebraska. $4,000: Nevada, $780,

Texas, $4,000; Utah, $4,000; Nir-
ginia. $4,000; Wisconsin, $4,000; wy
oming, $4,000. These are in each case
the minimum for the smallest COM
munities. and a higher minimum Is
in some States in towns above
q certain population.
The summary in regard to state SUI
pervision shows about half the States
to rely upon some other official than |
q superintendent or commissioner of |
banking, although in some of these |
cases examiners are appointed. Thus, |
in Alabama, the duty of supervision |
falls upon the state treasurer; in Arr
