First Glass Condition.
(By Franz f. Roberts, Chief
State Bank Examiner).

A review of the work of the bank
ing department of the auditor OF
states Office for the year 1911 is in
teresting. 1~.- :aE- ..- ST.
Evidently but a small per cent or
the people of the state of Iowa fully
realize that the banking interests OF
this state0are second to none. Iowa
has the largest number of banks of
any state in the union. There are at
this time 713 savings banks, $50 state
banks and IA trust companies under
the supervision of, the state banking
department. There are S27 national
banks and 331 private banks, making
a total of 1866 banks in the state.
The total number of banks and trust
companies under the control of the
auditor OF state at this time is 1,OO7.
Thirty-thfee new banks were incor.
porated during the year; the number
of banks renewing their charters for
the year 1911 was 25, and the number
of banks liquidated was 10. There
have been no failures OF banks under
1907, more than four years ago.
The total amount of annual fees
paid to. the department by the banks
organized under the laws of the state
reaches $20,O99.70; the total amount
paid to the examiners for salaries
and expenses December expenses
estimated) is $15,9OS.70, leaving a
balance to be turned over to the state
revenue of $5,091.0O The laws limit
the number of examiners the auditor
may appoint to six. The department
is very, much Handicapped in its work
by reason of the increased number OF
banks and an insufficient number OF
examiners. Although there are sui
ficient funds paid in by the banks
the auditor is limited in his appoint.
ments. se &C..
There have been 1855 examinations
made during the year. Some banks
have been examined twice. very
few the third time. Twenty-nine
banks remain unexamined on account
OF the insufficient number OF examin'
ers, which will be examined during
the next few weeks.
There are employed in the depart.
ment a chief clerk, a general clerk
and one stenographer. There have
been received by the department dur.
ing the year 1.0S5p examiners reports
which were properly. recorded in the
various records; 1886 reports on

FREE P. o. FROM POLITICS
Radical Reform in Postal Service Is
Recommended by Postmaster
ss. ..~, General Hitchcock.

~ Washington, Jan. 6.-Postmaster
General Hitchcock expressed his ap
prevail of the proposal to remove the
post Office department from political
influences.
81 believe" he said, that the entire
postal service should be taken out
of politics. A recommendation that
this be done was contained, in sc
many words, in my annual report OF
1910. 1t is apparent that the highest
effectiveness in the conduct of this
tremendous business establishment
cannot be attained while thousands Of
postmasters continue to be politica
appointees. AS an important reform
presidential postmasters of all grades
should be placed in the classified
service"

Des Moines, Jan. S.-Special: A
man giving his name as George w.
M. Elkins,, and claiming to be son
of the ilate United States Senator
Stephen b. Elkins, of West Virginia,
applied at the city physicians office
yesterday afternoon for medical at,
tention. He says he has been failing
in health for some time, and was Civ.
en- a rigid examination by Police

talk about himself, but after repleat-

of his life. He says he was born for
ty-three years ago in the town, which
now bears the Elkins name. He says
that Miss Katherine Elkins, who has
been constantly before the reading

l. P. CHURCH MEETING
Officers Elected and Plans Laid for
the Ensuing year.

Friday was special day for the
members of the United Presbyterian
church, being the date of the an
nual church meeting. The attend.
ance this year was not so large as
formerly on account of the number
of the members residing in the coun.
try and the difficulty experienced in
weather OF the date. The member
ship, however, was fairly well repre-
scented and q satisfactory meeting
was recorded. The annual dinner
was served at noon under the direc-
ton OF Mrs. T. B., Gossage. 1t was
an enjoyable feast and so well pleas
ed were all concerned that Mrs. Cos
sage was made" chairman of the en-.
tertainment committee for the next
year, with Mrs. Eugene Helm and
Mrs. j.. w. Mcdonald as assistants.
..a Reports of the years business,
church programs and financial stand
ing were presented and in the main
were of n satisfactory character All
bills of the year have been settled
and the church organization has a
balance in the treasury with which
to start tn new year. ..- ..s.
Report of the membership OF the
church was. the. one unsatisfactory
feature of the business session. Rec
ords show that the church has sus-
tanned loss OF fifteen member for
the year and that the total active
membership at the present time is
1877. Four deaths have occurred dur
ing the year,-William Burnside, Miss
Mary Tennis, Mrs. Lucinda Gordon
and Mrs. +, J. Culver, The other
losses occur from the removal of
members to other parts of the coun.
try and the withdrawal by letter to
other churches. Numerous addi-
tions to the church roll have been re-
corded but the net loss Of the year
is greater than the increase. The
announcement of these conditions
! stirs the membership to renewed eff.
fort for the campaign of the year
1912 when an effort will be made to
overcome the loss of the preceding
! months. ILL.,, !.t" y --.i.. u.s.. ~."t
