,an exercise no control over it. and

can exercise no control over it, and
cannot know what Is haing done with
1T. SO 1T was prov ided in the new
guaranty law that the examiner could
require all OF part OF these re-deposits
them under his supervision. These
assets would then be constantly under
his direct control and direction and
he would be in a much better posi-
fion TO protect the good banks by
watching closely tltss management OF
The poor banks.
So that is the reason why the COM
mission and the examiner have dacid
ed To require that so per cent of these
deposits by state banks shall be made
with state banks. This of course
means that half of the $1,000, 900
now held outside the state will be
brought back to the state. 1t will
tend to develop new banking centers
within the state and Mitchell, be-
cause OF its splendid location, pro-
badly is in position to serve more
state banks to advantage than any
other of the cities of the state. 1t
is not an eNtrayagant statement to
say that il is. quite possible for this
new development in state banking
TO double the deposits carried in
Mitchell. A all events il is certain
ito become an important clearing
house for a large territory.
Can be Rc-Deposited.
In Il number OF cases state and ma
tional banks are allied, as i'm the
case of the Mitchell Trust Company
and the Mitchell National Bank; and
the First Trust and Savings Bank
and the First National. Bank. In
such cases as these the state banks
could receive deposits from othdr
state banks and could re-deposit SO
per cent with the allied national
banks.
incidentally this order will increase
materially the funds available for
use in South Dakota. Heretofore the
natural trend of all money has been
to New York City. The South Dalko-
Ia bank sent its deposits to Sioux
City, the Sioux City bank on to Chi
and from Chicago they have
gone on to New York This concen-
tration has been recognized for a
long time as finai'eially unhealthful
for the country. These central banks
are supposed to reciprocate by lend
ing to their bank idepositors, but it
is stated by the South Dakota au-
thorities that the amount so re-
turned is insignificant in comparison
With the amount kept away. Indeed
these eastern banks have at all times
endeavored to induce the banks de-
posting with them to invest st3ll
more of their funds by buying COM
mercial or other paper in which the
other banks are Interested. The new
order should change much of this and
should go quite asSons way toward
keeping South Dakota money at home
for use by South Dakota people.

"lng1leld, which. it was announced
IN Pierre dispatch yesterday would

to become a big banking center for
the state OF South Dakota.
Nothing that has been done in an
administrative way in the government
OF South Dakota state banks has ever
had the wide-reaching effects that
will result from the Forthcoming or
der that all state hanks must deposit
so percent of the exchange items in
their reserve fund with state banks
in South Dakota.
This will have the effect of bring
ing back to South Dakota not less
than S5.500,OO0 of deposits that
have been made by South Dakota
banks with banks outside the state
These figures are from the records of
the state department.
A false report was made at the
outset concerning this proposed ac-
tion by the state department Ii was
said to be under consideration as an
act of liberalization because the com
troller of the currency at Washing
ton had issued on order. required
by the federal reserve bank law, that
with state banks more than 10 per
cent of their capital and surplus. 1T
is not true, however, that the South
Dakota Banking department was act
ing in any way because of this order
by the federal banking authorities.
Result of Guaranty law.
The new bank guaranty act passed
by the last legislature and just now
being put into effect, provides the
authority for the state bank eNamin-
er and commission TO stipulate that
the deposits OF state banks should
be made in part or entirely with
state banks i'll South Dakota. The
reason for this is obvious.
Under the new law all the banks
will unite in guaranteeing all depos-
its OF all the banks in the state. This
in turn will require more strict regu-
lation. in order to protect the honest
and careful banks against any that
might be dishonest or careless. Now
the state law requires a reserve of
90 per cent by the state banks. This
may be either i'll cash OH hand or in
deposits with other banks. called eX-
Fhange. AS matter of fact, the
banks carry only the cash required
to do business from day to day, so
that ordinarily from 20 to 25 percent
of their deposits are in turn re-de
posted by them with banks in larger
places, usually in reserve cities. This
means that the state banks have now
on deposit with banks in Sioux City,
Minneapolis, Chicago and other out
side centers, not less than $11 ,000,-
900.
