POWER TO REMOVE
SHOULD Be STRONG
In State Banking Depart
ments TO Safeguard Bank
Deposits.

NEW ORLEANS, La. Nov. 2S--
State banking departments should be
vested with strong powers for safe
guarding deposits, together with
authority TO recommend TO a proper
tribunal the removal or suspension
of any person whose connection
with a bank may be detrimental 10
the depositors, in the opinion If
Arthur B. Chaplin, bank commits
sloner of Massachusetts, who ad-
dressed the American Bankers AS
ISOLATION today on Efficiency of
Supervision OF Banks" Mr.. Chaplin
said. in part:
Efficient supervision requires
proper legislation providing for the
Capitalization of oversight in the
hands Of some dlsinterested branch
of the state government, such assns
the state banking department,
which should have an adequate force
of capable assistants to make such
examinations as should be neres-
sary to secure the safety of deposits,
compliance with law, and also to
mike an audit Of the books for the
protection of the depositors, ALI OF
which should be done so thoroughly
and SO effectively as to inspire conf
dence in the minds of the public.
81 would also favor vesting the
state banking department with
strong powers for the safeguarding
Of deposits. together with authority
to recommend TO some proper
tribunal, which could act without
publicity, the suspension and re-
moval OF any person whose connec-
tion with the bank may be detri-
mental to the depositors.
1T is not the purpose Of this pa
per to give the Impression that the
state banking department should at
tempt to dictate the business policies
of the banks, or endeavor to super
sede the management in any respect.
The trustees of our savings banks
are men of ability, who have the
confidence of the community and
who give their time and judgment
without compensation; though in
my opinion they too frequently coa-
/ fine their attention and interest to
playing the part of quiet listeners
to the record of transactions at the
required meetings. and delegating
all their powers to the officials in
charge.
The success of our banks will al
ways rest upon the honesty. good
judgment and able management of
those who have been entrusted with
the active charge of them. The
functions of management and super
vison are entirely apart and distinct.
The able manager, who desires to
conduct his bank in accordance with
the requirements of law. need have
no fear that the supervision can ne
too strict or searching. Let bank
officials cooperate with the bank
ing departments to make super
vison that deposits may be secure.
that officials and employees may be
faithful, and that the public may
have the fullest confidence in our
institutions for savings which have
become such powerful factors for
the welfare of the people"

FIGHT FOR CONTROL OF MO. P
Frank Gould Getting Proxies in New
York for Meeting.

New York, March ia deter
mined fight for control Is expected to
develop at the annual meeting Of Mis-
souri, Pacific stockholders at st. Louis
next Tuesday If. in the meantime,
postponement of the meeting is not
brought about as the result of a court
order granted the New York banking
interests which were understood to
have recently obtained undisputed
domination Of the company's affairs.
This condition is caused by the activ-
fly of Frank ]. Gould in inaugurating
a fight to upset the recent agreement
made between George Gould and the
New York banking interests as well as
by the unusual attitude of George
Gould, who is said to rue his bargain.
Representative of the Frank Could
Middendorf Williams interest have
been very active in the past few days
canvassing proxies in Wall street
brokerage and banking houses for the
annual meeting. It is believed that
they already have enough to insure
the election of two and possibly all
three of It's candidates for directors.
Not only has the Baltimore firm sought
proxies broadcast by mail, as well as
by canvassing the financial district, but
it has solicited them personally in all
quarters where stockholders, mostly
small holders. could be found.

on first class shipments, and proper
tionate reductions on other classes.
Proportionate reductions were ordered
from points in the St. Louis territory.
These reductions were to have gone
into effect on July 1, 1909.
The railroads were prevented from
putting the reduced rates into effect
through litigation, until October rs,
1910. At the Chicago conference,
which was held before Commissioner
Clark, the railroads agreed to refund
to the shippers the difference between
the old and new rates. This refund
ing is expected to begin within ten
days and will require months of work.

Expense Items.


Expense Items.
Leading railroads have put out a re-
port on ratios of maintenance, traffic
and transportation expenses to the to-
tai operating revenue, which shows
that whereas few years ago fuel was
reckoned as the largest expense in
railroading, with the exception of la
Dor, repairs and renewals of freight
cars now held that position, and are
next to the entire cost of labor.
In the past ten years the ratio of
maintenance Of way and structures to
the total operating expenses has de-
creased 11.6 per cent while that of
traffic and transportation has about re-
manned stationary; the ratio of main
tenance has increased III per cent
and is equal to more than 45 per cent
Of the expenses of traffic and trans
portation. This is attributed to the
fact that air brakes, steel couplers,
steel frames, steel cars and truck
frames are much superior to those
used in 1900, and 1t requires more to
keep them in repair. There has also
been a big increase in the strains OF
