A stringent State law is needed to
regulate the establishment Of banks.
There are too many wildcat financial
schemes now in existence in Chicago.
Not wishing to compete with the Dig
banks, irresponsible people are starting
up small banks In the outlying districts
of Chicago, from time to time. This
practice has had disastrous results

small business men and traders have
been ruined by this class Of institu-
tlons.
This nefarious practice should be
stopped and the only way to stop 1t Is
by municipal legislation.

city charter authorizing the city under
Its police power to regulate the estab-

pursuance Of this work a board for
the examination OF all proposed new
banking concerns. Such board
should be given ample power to exam

promoters OF these institutions, and
none should be allowed to be licensed
unless such as could show assets ample
for the carrying on Of their business
sufficient to cover the amount OF their
deposits, and sound and substantial
enough to thoroughly protect their
depOsitors.

right and the justice OF the city to
