SPEER SEEKS
FEDERAL AID in
BANKING PLAN
Confers With Comptroller
of Currency in Washing
ton in Regard to Plan.

George C. Speer, of Frankfort,
Banking Commissioner of Kentucky,
conferred with Comptroller of the Cur
rency Williams, in Washington, Wed
nesday, regarding the plan to bring
the national banks of the State into
the reform movement started by the
State Banking Department of Ken
lucky.
He found Comptroller Williams
deeply interested in the Kentuckian's
suggestion that the national banks of
Kentucky shall adopt a uniform rate
of interest paid on time deposits.
Il feel that my visit to Washington
at this time will bear fruit" said Mr.
Speer, as he left the Treasury De-
partment. Il had a satisfactory talk
with Comptroller Williams and he
seemed much interested in my bank
ing reform plan. l explained to him
that about 80 per cent. of the State
banks of Kentucky have already en-
tered into the agreement, the few
that have not adopted the plan being
those anected by the national banks
charging a rate greater than 8 per
cent. in their respective territories.
eff the Comptroller of the Currency
orders the national banks of Ken
lucky to adopt the plan ! have out
lined, of course, all the State banks
would fall into line"
/ Mr.. Speer explained that the effect
of this banking reform plan of his
would be that patrons of all the banks
in Kentucky would be able 10 borrow
money at rate of per cent. instead
of paying Z, s or as high as 10 per
cent in many counties.
/ M. Speer was accompanied to the
Treasury Department by Senator Oh
lie James.
