FRENCH LINE STILL

GERMANS IN CHECK
NEW BANKING LAWS
ARE RECOMMENDED
STATE TREASURER SAYS GEoR-
GIA NEEDS RELIEF FROM
CHAOTIC CONDITION.

State Treasurer w. ]. Speer, in his
annual report, recommends thaE the
legislature enact an entire new set
of banking laws for Georgia to re
lieve the chaos that now exists. He
says
Our banking laws are in such a
state of confusion, and are so unsat
isfactory, that their condition has
been fittingly described by competent
judges as being 'choitic.'
NO attempt to bring them into ;
systematic or harmonious whole has
been made. There are numerous pro
visions, still the law of the state
which are applicable to the old banks
of issue, but which are now entirely
archaic and useless. Other statutes
have been enacted. looking to the
creation of banks of issue when con
gress shall see fit TO remove the L.
per cent tax on state bank notes
These are also laws, but whether ap
plication to the bank as at presen
organized and to what extent, re
mains to be decided.
"The banking laws are to be found
scattered through the three volumes
Of the code of 1895, and the thirteer
volumes of the acts of the Legislature
since the code. Some of the legisla
tive acts seem to have been passed
in ignorance or disregard of existins
laws, and some statutes have beer
amended and changed so often thai
it is difficult to determine what the
present law really is
THE act of 1907, creating the bank
bureau, is the most serious attemp;
to regulate the business of banking
which has been made in some years
9ut this act is very crude and unsat
isfactory. 1t enacts as new provis
ions acts which were the law lon:
before the code Of 1895. 1t apparent
ly ignores other code sections leaving
it in doubt as to whether they are
still the law. 1t defines the dutie.
and powers of the tate bank examine,
in identical terms in two separate sec

that much in this city, the total rev

looms, this being an average Of three
men to a saloon, which is high. Their
salaries at $40 per week amounts to
So, 040 per year, making the total
revenue from the saloons $S2,2S0 and
the cost to the city $142,70o. "Tell
me, does this pay9" Mr.. Valiant ask
ed.
The speaker stated that one of the
arguments used to defeat local op-
ton is that it will lose the trade of
the farmers. Mr.. Valiant stated that
he did not believe that farmers came
to town to get drunk and he said that
this is an insult to them. It has been
proven, the speaker said, that whcr-
ever local option has been tried out,
the town enjoyed greater prosperity
after the saloons went out than be-
fore.
The sixth reason advanced by Mr..
Valiant why the saloon should be
knocked out, is that it is unscriptural.
He said that many claim that the
scriptures in many instances speak
for the liquor traffic, hut this is not
true. He challenged any person to
cite a single instance in the bible
where anything was said in favor of
this business.
Mr.. Valiant took sharp fling at
financial institution which is to be
opened in this city shortly, and he de-
nounced the brewery interests who
are at the head of it. He said that
they are going to get the money both
coming and going, and lastly, they
foresee the doom of the liquor bust
ness and that they want to have some
thing to fall back on. This portion
as well as few other parts. Of his
talk, some felt, were personal and
uncalled for.
