Local bankers are not paying much
attention to the bill recently introduced
by Representative johnson for the rea-
son that they do not believe that it has
a chance to become a law. The limit
of investment in banking buildings, p
per cent of capital and surplus, and the
provision for nonownership of stock in
other corporations are the especially OBJ
jectionable features OF the measure.
The nonownership of stocks in other
corporations would cause a revolution in
the collateral loan business. Loans on
securities is the largest part of the col
lateral business of some banks.
When the loan is not paid at muturity
the bank takes title to the collateral
What would happen If the banks could
not take title? They would not make

No matter how successful keepers

whether a hen or a pullet is capable Of
the greatest egg production. There Is
good argument on both sides. Some
claim that while hens lay less than
Dullets, they lay larger and heavier
eggs and because OF the fact the eggs
