The travelling men of Tennes.
see were somewhat stirred up
last week by the proposed repeal
of the Hotel Sanitary Law, as
applied to towns of less than L.
500 population. The travelling
men are right in the statement
that it has been the small town
hotel that most need the law at
tention- aud there is no excuse
anywhere for not keeping clean.
Travelling men are willing to pay
for good and clean accommoda-
tons and they ought to have
them in the country town as
well as in the city.

Is Liquor an Excepti0np

The states are entrusted with
the making of laws regulating
marriage and divorce, the care
of children, the disposition of
estates and the protection of
life, liberty and the pursuit of

to adopt the no-fence system,

Banking Law.
Features of the Measure
AS Stated by a Well
Known Newspaper Corr
respondent.

George Morris, who is the
Memphis Commercial Appeals
reporter Of the 58th General AS
sembly, has the following to say
Of the bank bill which passed
the Senate at the latter part of
last week and was expected TO
encounter but little opposition
in the House:
AS passed the bill creating
state supervision of banks is
practically the same as drawn by
| the Tennessee bankers ASCOT
aticn. The senators from the
country following the leadership
of Senator Pope were successful
in having the bill amended to
provide that no bank should be
allowed to reduce the cash of the
bank to less than 10 per cent of
! the demand deposits. As origi-
nally prepared and as approved
for passage the bill specified
that the cash on hand should at
no time be less than Is per cent
of the demand deposits.
The bill is effective January
1, 1914. The governor is to APP.
point the superintendent of
banks who must be a man with
at least five years experience as
an executive officer in some
bank. His salary is to be SO, 800
per year. This feature was
fought by Senator Morley. He
insisted in substituting the word
comptroller wherever the word
governor appeared in the bill.
1t was the old fight of party pol
itics and the one which defeated
the measure two years ago when
the bill was lost because the pol
! iticians fell out among them
selves in deciding to whom the
appointive power should be Civ.
en-. Mr.. Morley could not rally
the regulars behind him to any
extent in the fight this time, be-
cause most of them would prefer
the governor to George P. Wool
en-, comptroller. elect, who will
be in office when the law be.
comes operative. One feature
was overlooked and that is the
bill does not specify when the
appointment shall be made. If
Mr.. Worley's amendment had
been adopted Mr.. Dibrell, the
present comptroller, might have
named the superintendent at
once.
The examiner will have the
power to appoint five assistants
at a salary of $3.50 each per
month and the state will pay
their travelling expenses. The
bill provides manner by which
assessments on banks may be
levied to sustain the department.
The tax ranges from $40 to $500
each for the banks, according to
the capitalization. 1t provides
that no bank shall have a CAPT
talization of less than $500. 1t.
is not believed that this
clause will affect any of the
banks of the state. There are
a few concerns operating a
loan shark business. The bank
ing laws at present are more lib
eral than those under which the
loan sharks operate, and they
sometimes assume the more dig
nified title as protection in an
illegal business. On the whole
the bill is entirely acceptable to
the bankers of the state and is
the fruit of the labor of E. L.. |
Rice, ID. M. Armstrong and 9th
er Memphis bankers and bank
ers from other sections of the |
state.
