ed in the last legislature, but at the

ed to formulate bill for presentation
at the coming session. The bill of last
session provided for compulsory mem
6ership and the one to be offered at
this session is to be voluntary on the
lert Of the banks. This may not make
10 much difference however, as the de.
1fand Of the depositors will tend to
