Judges and magistrates have IN the

THE regional reserve banks are to
represent not only the national banks
of the district, but such state banks as
are willing to put themselves upon a
footing which will be equitable to the
national banks. This is an important
provision and gives to the state insti-a

because they have with the national
banks the responsibility of furnishing
banking facilities to the business of
the country.
