ment may otherwise advise"

Commission to Amend, Revise and
Simplify Bank Laws.

We hereby recommend the annoin+-
ment Of a commission to amend. nrevise
simplify, re-write and report by bill or
Otherwise, an Act in relation to banking
corporations, and individuals. unincor.
porated associations and corporations
under the supervision of the banking
department..
Our reasons for this recommendation
rather than reference to a committee
are, first. other states have followed
this method with success; second. the
intimate expert knowledge necessary to
do the work successfully would rarely
be found in any committee of a legis-
lative body; third. the time, legal as
sistance. and study of the~iaws of other
states could only be satisfa ctorilv ar.
rived at by expenditure of ample time
and money.
Makeup Of tho Commission.
We recommend for service on the
commission
Two men who may be selected from
among the active officers Of Savings
Banks.
TWO men from among the active officers
or Trust and Banking Companies
One man from among the active officers
OF Loan and Building Associations.
One man from among the active officers
OF the National Banks.
One man trained practically and theor-
etically in farm demonstration work
and farm values.
One man who may Zoe selected from
among the active officers Of the State
investment houses.
One man from among the active officers
OF foreign investment houses licensed
under Blue Sky law.
Two attorneys who may be selected by
learning in the laws Of banking invest
ment and finance.
The commission may also have the
right to employ such attorneys as have
served In like capacity for other states.
The compensation Of the said commits
sioners to be commensurate with their
ability and knowledge and with consid-
GRAFTON Of the importance Of the work
to be done.
State Land Bank
I'VE would recommend for the con-
sideration Of the legislature an act au-
thorizing the formation Of a state land
bank drawn on lines similar to the New
York land bank, which is based on an
extension Of the loan and building as
ISOLATION idea, and having for its pur-
pose the granting Of land and farm
credits by the sale Of bonds through a
central Organization.

Recommendations to the Legislature.

Recommendations to the Legislature.
Since the last report the national gov
eminent has changed the law governing
the national banks by the passage of
the currency bill which contained pro-
visions which established the Federal
Reserve Board and the Reserve Banks.
This legislation is considered by the
best authorities to be the greatest for
ward step in banking legislation that
the nation has ever taken and in order
that our state may share it's full benefits
it will be necessary to change certain
provisions of our laws as to eXamina-
lions and privileges granted our. state
institutions. This cooperation from all
states has been urged by the President
Of the United States and the Secretary
of the Treasury and should, we believe,
he accorded by bur State legislature,
thus providing the necessary laws but
leaving the final decision of entering
the system to each bank
That these changes must be made
with great care is evident from the fact
that national banks are of secondary
importance in Maine. The aggregate
resources of the trust companies, saw
ings banks and loan and building asso-
cations are two and half times the
aggregate resources of Maine national
banks and their service ia or should be.
two and half times as important TO
the continued prosperity and deyelon-
ment of our State
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1915-01-06
Loan and Building Associations

There has been no change in the
number of these associations during
the past year.
A steady increasing growth of re-
sources has been maintained since
they first started, and these mutual
associations deservedly hold the con-
fidence of the people who have deal
ings with them.
Other states give them wider powers
and in some states the rural credit
problem is worked out through this
agency. A careful study Of the condi-
tions and needs Of these institutions,
as they apply to the needs and condi-
tons Of our State is urged.
Under the head Of recommendations
to the Legislature, will be found
suggestion for the formation Of
State land bank, which if acted upon
would directly effect the development
of the loan and building associations.

INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY TESTED
Bay State Minimum Wage Commission
Making the Experiment.

An interesting experiment in indus
trial democracy is being worked out in
Massachusetts by the minimum wage
commission. For the first time in this
country workers have met together with
employers at the instigation o fthe state
to discuss living wage.
The Massachusetts minimum wage law
is very dcmocrtic and puts the deter
mination of the minimum wage directly
into the hands of the workers and en-
ploycrs of the industry. The minimum
wage commission has already formed
four wage boards consisting of an equal
number of employers and employees and
chairman. chosen to represent the pub
lie. The first step in the formation of
the boards is the nomination of persons
TO represent them by the employers and
employees throughout the state. The COM
mission holds meetings for the employees.
Mt which it is explained just what their
part is under the law. Recently meet
ings were held in Boston for the EN-.
ployes in retail stores. and now similar
meetings are being held in other parts
of the state.

protest against any change in the head
of the labor department. the Rochester
IN. W labor Herald says editorially:
labor interests and people generally
Were highly pleased with the announce
meut made early in the week by Gov
ernnr Whitman that the services Of
James NJ. Lynch would be retained by
the state, either as labor commissioner
or n position of equal Importance

the labor laws

certain anti-labor interests to DESTROY
the Efficiency of the labor department b.
its Consolidation with another were also
couccrned over the possible enforced re-
tireuent of Jim Lynchc from posi-
tion which he had filled with ability and
honor to the state and to the trade
union movement from which his services
hal been obtained.
The Labor Herald, however, is stin
OF ne opinion that it will be a great
mistake to combine the labor and COM
erSltion departments. The scope aud
wo-5 of each is of sufficient import.
antC and volume to warrant a separate
and distinct administration.
81 abor laws arc of little value ex,
cert when backed by an efficient means
to cnmpel their enforcement. The work.
ing people of the state want real la
bor department. or they don't want any
nevertheless, we will take the gov
cruor at his word and expect that what
ever legislation may be adopted in the
line If consolidation of departments, the
labor department, as at present consti-
tut /, will be continued without radical
chan res in its general plan of admins
tra on
Vow if the legislative pirates at AL
bauv will only leave a few labor laws

mert to enforce. perhaps the lot of the
wor ers will not be so bar in the next
