BANKERS To ASK
FOR NEW LAWS
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE CON
sIDERs MEAsUREs-PLAN RE-
DISCOUNT CORPORATION.

Aberdeen, Dec. 24.--At a meeting
of the members Of the legislative
committee of the South Dakota Bank
ers association. various improve
ments in the present banking laws
of South Dakota and amendments
and additions were tentatively decid-
ed upon and the ideas of the mem
bers will be embodied in proposed
laws which the attorney of the COM
mittee will prepare for presentation
to the next session of the South Da-
kota legislature
Among other things it was decided
to seek the enactment of more strin-
gent laws against fraudulent checks
and against making false statements
in securing loans from banks. Other
important banking matters were
practically decided upon.
The sense of the meeting was that
the Legislature should be asked to en-
act law making the issuing or
drawing of check, and its rejection
by the bank upon which it is drawn
for lack of funds" prima facie evi-
dence of an intent to. defraud
The bankers aim in asking the en-.
actment of this law is to stop the is-
suing of worthless checks, a constant
ly growing evil as one of the suppos-
ed results of the war. and to prevent
the settlement of a criminal action
against a person issuing such checks
by his making good the amount of
the check to the person who cashed
it.
IL also was decided by the legisla-
tive committee to ask the enactment
of a law which will provide penalty
for the person or corporation making
false statements to bank as TO
property or assets. in order to secure
a loan from the bank.
Enactment of law making the
minimum of capital stock in the or
ganization of bank s25.000 was dis
cussed at some length, and will be
definitely determined later by the
Legislative committee. p. w. Dough
erty, of Webster, attorney for the
committee, was instructed to draw
the proposed bills as already agreed
upon so they can be presented to the
legislature.
Much consideration was given the
subject of establishing a rediscount
corporation within the South Dakota
Bankers association. having for its
purpose the tiding of the public over
the period of stringency in the money
market.
1t was the prevailing opinion OF
the members of the committee that
such corporation should have its
corporate existence for a period of
five years. and that liquidation Of its
affairs might be commenced in two
years.
Under this plan. each member
hank would contribute to the corpor-
alton such a per cent of its capital
as would make the total capital OF
the corporation $2.000,000.
The corporation thus formed and
financed would then in turn be au-
thorized to seek capital for meeting
the demands of the public.
