SAYS STATE BANK SUPT. SHOULD BE
 OFFICE BY ITSELF

Arizona is the only state in the Twelfth Federal Reserve district where the state superintendent of banks has not discretion in she granting of licenses to banks. according to Jesse Boyce, state auditor and superintend- ent of state banks, who returned yes terday from a conference of state bank commissioners and superintendents of the district, which was held in San Francisco.
 "The banking code of Arizona should not be amended; it should be revised land rewritten" declared Mir. Boyce, who claims the law inadequate.
 Furthermore, Mir. Boyce does not be- lieve that the state auditor should serve as state superintendent of the banks. which, he states, is an office in itself.
 "The bank superintendent should be appointed by the governor, and the ap- pointee should be a banker of at least five years experience. The legislature should not limit the appropriation of the department in the opinion of MT | Boyce, who speaks from four years experienc as head of the states bank | ing department.
 Too much responsibility is placed upon one man under the present sys- l tenn, says Boyce, who thinks that the duties of an auditor require the undi- viaed attention of the man elected tc the position, while he holds that the superintendent of banks also is suf- ] ficiently important to require ont mans time.
 In speaking of the need of revision of the code, MT. Boyce stated that any one complying with the law as 1t II written in this state, can secure banking license.
 This should be changed" h' claimed.
 MT. Boyce said that the San Fran cisco conference was well attended every state or the Twelfth district be
 ing represented but Nevada. The su
 perintendente from the six other state
 were present, including representative
 from Arizona, Idaho, Utah, Washing ton, Oregon and California.

The increase sought represents advances varying from 2S to 42 per cent, based on the volume of gas consumed. A. A. Betts, chairman of the com mission. will be in charge of the hear ing. assisted by D. F. Johnson. F. A. Jones. the third member of the com mission, will not be present, being in Globe. Clyde M.

We be- lieve that the gas company, as a ! utility serving the public, is entitled to l receive fair and just return on the investment; we believe, further, that a rate should be established that will allow them such return, providing the | hearing discloses any existing dis crepancies in operation and mainten- ance. but we do not believe that 50- cent increase should be granted unles. it is justified
