South Subjected the Most.

New England appears not to have
INDUCED the overdraft habit to any
great extent. But even at that 1t has
reduced its overdrafts nearly half In
the period. from 100000 to $156,ooo.
The eastern states have not been op-
pressively burdened in comparison. but
also have managed to effect reduc-
tion of 42.51 per cent, from $1,222,O00
to 100000.
The southern states were subjected
to overdrafts more than any other sec
ton Of the country. And. by virtue
of the mandate Of the controller of the
currency. they have managed to reduce
almost two-thirds the volume of debt
on this account.
The figures show reduction from
$5,437,000 to s2,o64, 900. amounting to
62.02 per cent. The national banks of
the south no longer stand In first place
in the aggregate of overdrafts. having
yielded to the middle west.

Middle West Reduction.


The middle west has, however. effect
ed reduction Of 46.99 per cent. nearly
half, from s4.eo4, 900 to $2,44o.oo0. The
western banks have made the greatest
proportionate reduction of any section
of 68.0s per cent. from $2,3So.000 to
$S78.o00. The Pacific coast banks, with
1858 per cent reduction. have now only
$4,000, whereas they had $1,S35,000
in overdrafts.
Alaskan and Hawaiian banks show a
reduction Of 44.44 per cent, from $4,000
to $1,000.
In his mandate Of January 2S Con-
troller Williams was so emphatic that
he declared that the practice Of over
drafts must cease entirely. He direct
ed that no officer or employe OF a ma
tional bank should pay or charge to
the account of any depositor any check
of any depositor when there are not
sufficient funds on deposit to the credit
of the drawer of the check to meet it.

give up his rights rather than go to law
where only a small amount was involved
The bill was killed Friday on the re-
