State Banks Barred.
Attorney General Grant Fellow
gave e. II. Doyle, state banking COM
missioner, an opinion that state banks
cannot take advantage OF the federal
reserve act. The attorney general bases
his opinion on the following grounds:
First-State banks can't hold stock

Second-State banks can't loan
their credit to other banks
Third-Permissio given in the fed
eral reserve act to state banks does
not supersede the state law, which
does not permit state banks to hold
stock In other banks.
The attorney general cites a number
Of decisions to sustain his opinion.

tee decision" Of the United States Su-
preme court. which held that the con-
troll Of state banks was an exer.
else of the police powers OF the
