COMMISSION
En- LANKFORD
To BANKERS
LONG TIME AND EXCESSIVE
LOANS MUST BE GUARDED
AGAINST, ACCORDING TO CON-
MISSIONER.

Oklahoma City, Okla, December u.
AT the annual meeting Of the Okla
hC.ia State Bankers Association here
today, j. ID. Lankford, state bank com
missioner in an address cautioned the
delegates against making excessive and
long time loans. He pointed out that
caution, prudence and judgment should
be used by bankers in all their trans
actions at this time Mr. Landlords
address, in part, follows:
"Iwant to warn you against making
excessive and long time loans against
a large volume of deposits which are
subject to immediate withdrawal. If
ever there was a time in the history Of
this country when bankers should use
caution, prudence and judgment, that
time is now. There is great danger of
ovcr-conifdence, and the banker who
used the greatest care and conserya-
tism in considering loans and dis
counts and stays close to the shore,
will avoid the breakers and in my
judgment be the only one who will
safely steer clear of the danger mark.
The safety first idea, If always borne
in mind and acted upon, is a mighty
fertilization against disaster and de
struction
Another thing which has been
brought about by reason of the de
vclopment Of the states great re
sources and the creation of wealth is
the lowering Of interest rates, and we
must be content with smaller margin
OF profit than heretofore enjoyed.
Another matter of importance is
the great necessity Of building up,
from time to time, your surplus ac-
counts, thereby giving your banks
greater strength. and also serve as a
mighty bulwark in times of stress.
This matter should receive your con
sideration.
In referring to the recent require
ment directing that so per cent Of
legal reserves be carried with state
banks operating within the state OF
Oklahoma, will say that the commits
sioner has received protests from both
state and national banks and a recon
sideration has been requested.
None but the state banks OF Okla
homa furnish depositors full and COM
plete protection and you should call
yourselves State Bankers" with a de
gree Of personal pride. realizing that
