STATE BANK BUREAU
IS SELF-SUPPORTING
Since Its Organization, in 1851,
II Has Paid Its Own WAY.

Albany, March 19.-The steady in
crease in the number OF institutions
under supervision OF the New York
State Banking Department stll con-
tinues. according TO the annual repor.
when the State Superintendent %
Banks, Eugene Lamb Richards, has sub
mitted TO the Legislature.
AT the close Of the last year says
Nr. Richards. "the total number Of in
stitutions under supervision was l,0I1,
which makes IL mandatory for the
Superintendent Of Banks 20 make iu
each year at least 1876 examinations.
I'm compliance with the provisions of
Section 80 Of the banking law. The
law requires banks Of deposit and dis
count. trust companies and scventy-slN
or the cighty-eight private bankers op-
Grating i'm this state 90 be examined al
least twice year. Il Is also necessary
10 make many special examinations.
"Despitc the steadv increase IN fh"
number and resources OF institution d,
and the consequently increasing work
made neccS AIRY by the new banking
law. the total expenses Of the depart
ment show AT increase for the last
fiscal year OF only 81 2U6.7O. or abou.
onc-half OF per cont against an in
crease in resources Of over II per cent.
Total expenses were S227 .920i0, az
against S226.71310 in tho previous year.
"Thc account Of the Banking Depart
ment on the books Of the State Con-
troller shows that from the date Of the
departments organization, In 1851, 20
October |. 1915. the department has re-
ceivcd from the State Treasurer an
aggregate Of 81, $50. SCOTT. and paid into
the State Treasury In the same time a
total Of S3.254.5l90g Tho balance
which was due the State Treasurer on
October !, 1915, has since been paid
into the treasury. II will thus be seen
that the cost Of running this depart
mcnt since its organization I'm 1881 he's
been paid entirely by the institutions

Washington.-Leg legislation has been
and continues to be loiterer this
winter. The administration, the house
and the senate, to say nothing of per-
sons outside OF both. have been en-.
gagged in one gigantic guessing con-
test concerning the final form TO be
taken on by legislation of Importance
The prophets business has been an
arduous and precarious one this
year. Comparatively few of the fore
casters are justified in claiming that
they are prophets with honor in their
own country. The reason for the ut
ter inability of the administration or
of the leaders in either house OF con
gress to foretell results. with anything
like certainty that their words will be
fulfilled, is that the members OF
house and senate irrespective of party
lines have been divided among them
selves upon nearly all the greater
questions of the winter. 1t has been
impossible for the leaders of either
party in either house to learn definite
ly just what following he could ccaat
upon in advocacy or in opposition to
any of the more commanding meas.
ures of legislation.

Prophecies Shattered.

mere were supposedly wise men In
the senate who predicted within an
hour or two of the vote on the Gore
resolution, now a matter of compare.
lively recent history, that the affair
was sure to be settled one way be-
cause it could not be settled any 9TH
er way The prophets saw their
prophecies shattered within fifteen
minutes of their utterance. Some sen.
ators voted one way or another, and
then made speeches exactly counter
to their votes. The whole proceeding
was enough to distract the minds of
men who tried to get any logical de-
auctions from the course of affairs
and from the final vote.
The same condition of things was
true in the house when the McLemore
resolution finally came under direct
discussion. This was a resolution
also intended to warn Americans from
ger ships which had guns mounted for
defense. In the house, from hearing
the first speeches. stranger could not
tell which was the Republican side of
the chamber and which the Democrat.
ic. No one could get any idea of
what the outcome was to be. What
has been true of the matters here dis
cussed is true of half a dozen other
bills and measures. This year the
leaders of neither party know in adj
vance whether they will be able to
lead their fiocks into the fold or
whether they will break away and
make OF across the fields.

now at the border, were preparing tc
enter Mexico on Monday. Military
officials at the base camp here reiter-
ated their belief that the Villistas
would not be exterminated without a
long, hard campaign. They said there
was no reason to believe that Villa
was surrounded by American or Car
ranzista troops at present.
Preparations bearing out their pre-
dictions were seen in the arrival OF
huge quantities of supplies of all kinds
in the last twenty-four hours.

Monday that six American soldiers
had been wounded by poems sniping

Mexicans had been killed or wounded

A few hours after such information

The Preparedness Bills.

Take the preparedness bills for in
stance. During the preliminaries of
the framing of preparedness bills in
house and senate the two committees
OF the two bodies charged with the
work of preparing legislation were
shown to be completely at odds with
each other on the matter of the proper
handling of the subject in hand The
chairman of the senate committee on
military affairs wanted a continental
army such as had been suggested by
the administration. The leader of the
house committee on military affairs
was utterly opposed to the plan for
continental army and was in favor
of great strengthening of the militia
and comparatively small increase in
the regular army.
1t was impossible for anybody to
tell which of the two men in charge
of things would give way. To-day
both the house and senate have re-
ported military preparedness bills aAfi
while it was thoroughly believed al
the outset that they would be radical
ly different in all their provisions
coalescing of views, but the two meas
ures still are almost Numerically OPP
posed one to the other
There win be a compromise of some
kind between house and senate on the
military preparedness bill and it is
perfectly apparent that there must be
compromises between the two houses
On other bills such as those affecting

Of high Importance. In the senate
| the plan OF the house. So it is easy
enough to see how utterly impossible
it has been and still is for the proph.
cts to foretell accurately the outcome
on these big defense measures.
In the matter of the resolution warn
ing Americans not TO travel on armed
liners belonging to belligerent coun-
tries, the membership in house and
senate has been divided not into par.
ties but into groups irrespective of
party. The divisions in the two
houses show no trace of Republican
ism or Democracy, but are both
marked deeply with the signs of both
parties. Old members say that never
in their memory has there been such
a mixing up Of party friends and
foes on both sides of a question as
there has been on this matter which
has created such sensation in the
country.
