Talks On Banking
State Banks

There is no material difference be-
tween a state bank and n national
bank except in the one aspect, men
tened in the last banking talk. name
ly that state banks do not issue bank
notes. While the laws of some states
permit state banks to issue their own
bills, the National Banking Act i'm
poses a tax of ten per cent. upon all
such issues. thereby making them un-
profitable.
The National Banking Act provides
that every national bank shall have
the word National in its title. the
only exceptions being three banks.
one in New York, one in Philadelphia
and one in Pittsburgh. which are al
lowed TO use their old name with the
initials IN. b. A." National Banking
Association in their titles Therefore
the bank that does not have the word
National" in its title is a state bank.
By that token you may distinguish be-
tween the two.
Nldlt uNllkN are llhlt hulhAl quo
than national banks by nearly four TO
one. the reason being that in same
states smaller capital is allowed for
state Institutions than for national
banks. i'm some places running as low
as ten thousand dollars.
State banks are under the iurisdic-
ton Of the States, and most OF the
states have a department OF govern
ment called the Banking Depart
mcnt." as a rule, and the official in
charge Superintendent of Banks,
Banking Commissioner State Audi
tor" etc. who examines the banks
under his jurisdiction. as a rule about
once a year. but frequently more
often. and 10 whom the banks must
report usually without notice as called
for. from two to four times a year
State banks do precisely the same
kind Of business as carried on by ma
tional banks. namely receiving de-
posits. paying checks. discounting
promissory notes and making loans
Evening journal., 1916-08-09

State banks everywhere are permitted
TO lend on mortgage loan. a privilege
denied national banks until the pas
age of The Federal Reserve Act. Even
yet national banks in large cities can
not make a mortgage loan. The state
laws are not uniform by any means
and vary as the lawmakers have
deemed wise. The main difference lies
in the supervision and not in the man
ner Of conducting business. In fact
if you were to go into a national bank
you would find no difference, except
in the matter Of reports and super
vision.
II would be unwise and unfair Ia
even distinguish the one as better
than the other. It depends altogether
upon the men. A bank is no more or
less than an aggregation OF men, and
stands or falls as the men stand or
fail A bank is as good as the men IN
control and no better. II is conceded
