The new BANKING LAW.
W.-The Federal Reserve
Board.
By Fredesie J. Haskin.

The federal reserve board is destined
to be one of the most important govern
ment agencies in the country. 1t will
have the power to influence profoundly
the economical development of the ma
ton. and the success or failure of the re-
organized banking system will depend
largely upon the ability and faithfulness
of it's individual members.
The broadest powers of supervision and
control have been delegated to the re-
serve board. 1t is to be composed Of
seven men. of whom the Secretary of the
Treasury and the controller of the cur
rency are to be members ex-of1cio. and
the five others are to be appointed by the
President of the United States by and
with the advice and consent of the Sem
ate The five appointive members are to
hold office for ten years, unless removed
for cause by the President. The first ap-
pointees will hold office for two. four, six.
eight and ten years. respectively, after
which selection of new member will
take place every two years. In making
appointments to this body the law pro-
vides that the President shall have due
regard to a fair representation of the diff
ferent commercial, industrial and geo
graphical divisions of the country thus
endeavorig to determine a board with
the widest possible understanding of the
country's needs.
There is nothing to restrict the appoint
ment of bankers to places on the board.
but the law provides that mo member of
the federal reserve board shall be an Of
ficer or director of any bank, banking in
stitution. trust company or federal re-
serve bank, nor hold stock in any bank.

before entering upon his duties as mem-
ber of the federal reserve board he shall
