LAX ENFORCEMENT OF BANKING
LAWS,

While Arizona's banking laws are
deficient in many essential details
the rigid enforcement of what little
existing law we have governing
banks is entirely up to the state bank
comptroller, who is also state auditor.
There seems no doubt that the state
banking department could prevent
many failures if the statutes regard
ing the control of state banks were
strictly enforced.
The statutes provide that it shall
be the duty of the state bank comp
troller or some competent person ap-
pointed by him, to at least once in
comptroller may in his Judgment
deem necessary, visit and make full
and strict examination of each bank
in the state; to inspect and carefully
examine all books, records, papers,
notes, bonds, or evidence of indebted
ness, and all funds, securities and
assets of such banks; to thoroughly
examine into the affairs and financial
condition of every such bank, it's
solvency, it's ability to fulfill all it's
obligations, and to report it's con-
dition to the attorney general as
soon thereafter as may be. The
above is practically the language of
the statute.
Two weeks prior to the closing Of
the doors Of the Commercial Bank a
special examination was made by
the state banking department., and
Immediately thereafter State Bank
Comptroller Boyce addressed a state
ment to "To Whom it May Concern
in which he stated that the examina-
tion proved the bank to be in ''a
very satisfactory condition" This
statement was posted in the Com
mercial Bank, and resulted in restor-
ing confidence in the institution
among quite number of the banks
patrons, who continued doing bust
ness as usual
The expert who examined the bank
previous to it's failure did not per-
form his full duty in strictly examin-
Ing the banks securities, for on the
heels of this examination another
expert sent out from the state comp
troller's Office, discovered that
there was approximately $4,000
worth of questionable paper among
the securities. In other words, the
$4,000 in loans are worth approx
mately $4,000, the worthless paper
aggregating about 33 1-3 per cent
Of the total assets.
Fortunately for the depositors of
the Commercial Bank there probably
will be sufficient assets left to pay
out in full, or at least 80 per cent of
the deposits, If the business of the
new holding company, which will
take over the old banks assets, is
properly conducted.
If the examination made two
weeks previous to the closing of the
bank had been properly made by
the state banking department it
would have been discovered that the

There are Y M. C. A. dugouts right

In which to spend the night. These

Of position and refinement, who report
that they never meet any discourtesy
at the hands Of the soldiers. The i'm
