KUOLT DEMANDING VAULTS
Insists on Safety for Records Before
North Wing of Capitol Is
Demolished.

Madison Commissioner of Bank
ing Kuolt may yet hold up the work
of demolition of the old north wing
of the statehouse. This department
still is housed in that section and he
refuses to bulge until quarters are
provided where he can have vault
room wherein to keep safe the rec
ords of the Office.
The commissioner of banking and
his deputy are required to give bonds
in the sum of $4,000 each, and the
bank examiners each in the sum OF
$4,000 for the faithful performance
of the duties of the Office, one of
which is to keep secret all informa
ton gained of the condition of the
banks of the state. To conform to
this requirement with certainty Com
missioner Kuolt holds that it is ne
cessary to have vault wherein to
keep the records, in order that they
may not by any mischance become ac-
cessable to persons not connected
with the department.

tails from the administration measure

ing and currency system, deemed by
the president the all-important factor
of the bill, was retained.
At the eleventh hour the Democratic
members of the committee fncorpora-
ted an amendment providing for an
advisory board of bankers to advise
the federal reserve board. This amend
ment was in the nature of compro-
mise with the banking interests, which
protested vigorously against the ex-
clusively governmental feature of the
control of the board
Another important amendment in
corporated in the bill altered the re-
discount section comforting the power
mutually rediscount paper. A change
was made in the division of the earn
;ngs of the federal reserve banks Gre
ated by the law. AS amended, the bal
ance of earnings after the five per
cent dividend and the 20 per cent.
surplus will be paid, so per cent. to the
government to be used as sinking
fund to reduce the national debt, and
40 per cent. to be divided among the
member hanks.

tee reduced the period during which

By vote of seven to five, the con-
ference struck from the bill provi-
sion previously ordered inserted for
bidding interlocking directorates be-
tween banks. 1t was stricken out on
representations that the president be-
lieved it should be considered apart
