GUARANTEE OF DEPOSITS.
Adams County Representative Intro
duces New Banking Bill in
the Legislature.

Practically a complete revision of
the banking code of Iowa was pro-
posed in the house last week in a 10, ;
900 word bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Cochrane of Adams county.
Outstanding features of the bank
ing system he proposes are these:
Control by state banking board.
Compulsory incorporation of all
banking Institutions
Specification of necessary capital
stock
Regulation Of reserves and loans
Guarantee of deposits.
The bill provides that a state bank
ing board shall be constituted to con-
sist of the governor, auditor and at
torney general, which shall have con-
troll Of the business of banking with
in the state and administration of the
laws relating thereto. The board is
authorized to employ a secretary at
$4,000 year, clerk at $1,000 and as
many examiners as may be needed
at $4,000.
Authority of Examiners.
To the examiners is given author
ity to inspect the books and investi-
Sdte lie DuSlleSS OIL all DdHkluS cor
porations. The banks themselves
will pay for this service OH a fee
basis
All persons or firms engaged in the
business of banking are required to
incorporate and take out charters
from the banking boards. The effect
of the law would do away with pri-
Vate banks as they are now operated
in the state. The law would require
majority of the board of directors
to be residents in the county in
which the bank is located, which
would prevent foreign ownership of
banks. No stakeholder can be a di-
rector without owning at least $4,000
worth of stock
The law specifies that in towns of
up to 500 inhabitants the capital
stock must be 1000. No bank can
have a capital of less than $4,000. A
graduated scale fixes the capital for
