Congress makes lots of unnecessary
trouble for the government clerks"
said a veteran employee, but the
worst case | know Of occurred some
years ago. A certain senator asked
the comptroller of the currency to tell
him how much stock a certain man
had In a national bank. He was In
formed that such information was re-
garded as confidential and could not be
given out.
wen see about that said the SEN
ator, who was plainly disappointed and
displeased.
Several days later he secured the
passage Of a resolution calling upon
the secretary of the treasury to fur
nish the senate with the names and
holdings of the stockholders in all the
national banks in the country. BE
really wanted to know only the inter
est of one man In a bank, but he knew
that he couldn't get resolution OF that
kind through the senate, 10 he includ.
ed the stockholders IN all national
banks.
1T took the entire force Of the comp
troller's office several weeks to pre-
pare the information. and when I,
reached the senate nobody paid any at
tention to It except the author Of the
resolution, and he merely looked at the
mass Of papers only long enough q
see about the man he was after and
then tossed the papers aside. Il wal
