Again. some of the loans seem to my mind to be greatly
Excessive. / do not find anything in the laws OF banks OF
discount and deposit limiting the amount of loan other than to
stockholders and probably a large lean to a responsible person
could not be considered excessive, but under the law regarding
savings banks, Sec. 276 of the Compiled Laws, being a later
law than the one in which this bank was Incorporated. it is
evident that the legislature thought that no one person should
be permitted to borrow money exceeding ten per cent Of the
capital stock actually paid in. While I stated that probably that
law does not apply to this bank, yet it is manifest that some of
the loans are excessive and they apparently have no security.
Again it is apparent that there has been considerable
l1G@lcry regarding the amount Of cash on hand and in the
bank. The individual deposits and certificates of deposit
amount to over SI7oooooo; bills payable S42.ooooo: Cash
'er'S checks, 100000; this runs the amount Of indebtedness
that can be Immediately demanded considerably over $780,
10000, and yet the report shows that there is really not over
100000 cash to pay these claims.
do not care to further discuss the report as YOU can by
a casual personal disclose far more than have suggested, but
7 do believe that it is in the interest Of all Of the creditors of
the First Stac Bank Of Las Cruces that the Travelling Auditor
should Immediately take such steps as are required to compel
them to make good the impairment Of the capital stock Of the
Las Cruces bank, collect or charge off a large part of their
notes and reduce their excessive loans.

any other person in personally addressing this letter to Won.
feel that tins matter or any matters Of this character is of
such serious Importance to the people that it should be called
Immediately to the attention Of the Chief Executive of the
State. 1t is apparent to me at least that the Las
Cruces Bank IS being exploited in the same man
ncr exactly as was the First State Bank of Tue
and being a stronger institution and being
located in the field of exploitation longer than the Tucum-
carl bank, but it is evident that unless some drastic measures
are taken that it will run the same course ultimately as did the
u,uncarl bank with far more disastrous results.
have great confidence in Mr.. Mc('arty's report as 7 do
not hesitate to say that he is one Of the most competent &C
with whom ever had any dealings. and all who
snow HIM certify to his absolute honesty and inpartiality.

way IN putting this matter directly before Won. as 7 feel tlltI

a special session of the Board of Directors and levy an

are other losses in the loans which will show up when these
loans are examined in connection with the Board of Direc-
tors.

this bank, that he confine his loans to the community in Which
ne is dong business; that he not grant such large lines of
credit to people to whom he is indebted for some of his larger
deposits. should criticise severely his loans to himself,
family and immediate relatives and should insist that they be
taken out of the bank or reduced considerably at any rate
find that his mother, Mrs. L. B. Smith owes $4I 600, his.
brother {. H. H. Smith, $6o2o6o and his own notesamount
to 100000, a $4,000 note being in the loans at the date Of
my examination and another note of his for like amount car
ried in the cash and which went into the loans January 10th.
Mr.. Smith insists that the notes are good but do not think
they are desirable loans.
should insist that the overdrafts be kept down, I think
the list of overdrafts which are made a part of this report can
be collected but 4o% of a banks capital in ~overdrafts should
not be tolerated. -
The Court Costs, Interest Paid and Expenses Accounts
are in excess of the profits $4,000 this is caused by not
charging the December expenses until after the first of
January. thereby making a better statement Dec. 81, 1913.
The account with the Toyah Valley Bank, Balmorhea,
FeNas is carried at S342S.72, this account was opened Feb.
Isl, 1913, with a deposit OF S574o45 and has not changed in
the past year excepting the interest credits and a charge of
Nov. IL, 1913, this charge slip is carried
in 1.-THE cash thereby showing the cash on hand Dec.
51, 1913, to better advantage.
The account with the First State Bank. Tucumcari,
SIoo22S0 is an account with defunct bank. am in a posi-
ton to know that this bank will not pay over go Per cent to
It's creditors if this claim of the Las Cruces bank is a Just one,
Will say that the Receiver OF the First State Bank, Tucnn-
carl. is suing this bank for approximately SI7ooooo, that I
firmly believe that a Judgment will be obtained against this
bank for about SIooooOo, if this should occur this asset
Of the Las Cruces bank will be cancelled and they will have
an additional liability of 'SIoooooo and in such event the
bank will be insolvent.
The account with the First Trust and Savings Bank,
Tuctmrcari, S32525 should be charged to expense. this &C
count is expense incurred in obtaining a character for a Trust
Co., in Tuc1mcari and the above Trust Co., is not operating.
The Collection account of 81 2S73 is composed mainly
Of a collection on L. B. Smith, Marietta, Okla, for $2I27.23
charged out Nov. 81 1913 and should insist that some dis
position should be made of it Immediately.

worth inspection of anyone intesested in

using lime is conclusively shown. The

His Friends Will Support Hin

Ills rT1eHdS VIII support Him
Geo. I. A. Smith of Morristown Cor.
ners having allowed his name to be used
his friends will give him hearty support
for Town Representative at the Primary
next Tuesday. This makes two Republi.
can aspirants for the honor. When
asked concerning his condidacy Mr..
Smith said:-"I am not seeking the office,
neither will 1 put forth any effort to Sc
cure it; however if my friends see fit to
vote for me shall feel very grateful to
them for their support and if elected l
shall serve my town faithfully and to the
best of my ability" Mr.. Smith has for
many years been a prosperous farmer, a
man of good judgment, careful and con-
servative in his own business and is in
every way we'll qualified to represent the
agricultural business and educational
interests OF the town. He has for several
years been a member OF the school board
and is staunch Republican. We say
the above with no disparagement to Mr..
Smalley. May the best man win!
