The state banking department had
been holding back for the midsummer
call on the state and savings bank for
statement until the comptroller Of the
currency fixed date for the statements
from national banks. It was thought
that possibly one more call would be
about all the comptroller would ask for.
in view of the going into effect Of the
new currency and banking law. But
the comptroller did not issue a call
Hence the state call 10 for bank condi-
tions Juno 30. There was desire to have
the statements Of ell banks at one time
because Of opportunity for comparison
and making . showing Of bank condi-
tions for tho entire state on a certain
date. Last year one state call conceded

Corporation reports are beginning to
come back to the office of secretary of
state. The reports are due this month
and in August and become delinquent
the first day Of September.
OF the $500 corporations in Iowa,
chartered under Iowa law. about 800
were delinquent last year when the time
ended for making the reports. From
these delinQuents various sums were
collected as penalties and In all they
paid the state about $500 for having
been careless with reports. There is
still some to be collected thru the
courts.
It is asserted that while the independ-
ent oil companies which are threaten
ing attack on the oil inspection law,
will attack 1t as a whole and claim that
It Is illegal, they will rely most on the
claim that the present method of COL
1ecting for gasolene certification is IL
legal. They insist that there is in fact
no inspection of gasolene, but that all
that is done is to have the inspector
estimate the number of barrels and
label the stuff as gasolene and the
statement OF the consignees that it is of
a grade not fit for illuminating pur-
poses Is accepted. The Iowa law orig
inally contemplated only inspection of
stun intended for illuminating oil.
Three years ago the lower grades Of oil
were included. But as it is admitted
they flash at too low a point for use In
lamps or stoves there is no occasion for
making any test to determine at what
point they flash. ~
The main law has been in force for
thirty years and has never been at
tackled.
