HOUSEFORN new
BANKING FLAWS
Increased Revenue to Come
From Taxation on Sav-
ings Deposits
LEGAL RESERVE is
PROVIDED FOR, TOO
stan Correspondent.

Stan Correspondent.
DOVER, March 16.@Three bills
advocated by Bank Commissioner
George L. Medill and Henry Ridgely,
chairman Of the legislative commit
tee OF the State Bankers Association,
were passed by the House yesterday
afternoon. One Of these bills will
bring revenue to the State estimated
at $4,000 annually. Last year the
State got about $4,000 revenue
from the banks but previously to that
the banks paid practically nothing
in the way OF state taxes.
All Of the bills passed were intro
duced by Representative Medill, OF
Newark. The first bill passed puts
into one act practically all the laws
relating to banks with few changes
to meet present modern conditions.
The second bill passed is the one that
taxes the banks and thereby brings
in about $4,000 annually to the
State. Previous to the time of the
enactment OF the law under which
Mr. Medill was appointed as the first
bank commissioner of the State, the
banks paid practically no tax. Last
year Mr.. Medill collected more than
5000 from the banks. In some in
stances there was complaint about
this tax that the commissioner made
the banks pay and the present bill
makes il absolutely legal to collect
the tax.
The third bill passed by the House
and advocated by the bank commits
sioner makes some changes in the
law relative to building loan asso-
Citations. 1t limits the fines that
such associations can pay and makes
other changes in the present law. All
three OF the bills it is understood,
had been approved by the State
Bankers Association.
The big" bank bill, according to
Bank Commissioner Medill, con-
tains the following features, most OF
them not being provided for in the
present bank laws:
A bank may lend up to 25 per cent
Of its capital when the loan is prop
erly secured. Under the old law it
could only loan up to 10 per cent of
its capital.
Requires a director to be a share
holder.
Does not allow a bank to loan on
its own stock.
Limits the amount a bank may
invest in any one corporation stock
or bonds.
Great part Of the bill re-enacts the
old laws in better form and elimi-
mates the reference to the insurance
commissioner.
A bank must get a certificate from
the State banking commissioner be-
/ fore commencing business, for which
the bank must pay $50.
The second bill taxing banks. ac-
cording to Mr.. Medill, provides the
/ following:
Imposes a tax OF one-ffth OF one
| per cent. on shares Of stock of State
and national banks to be paid by the
banks. This. with the bill taxing
savings banks, will make a revenue
to the State OF about $4,000.
Taxation Of savings banks is pro-
vided for. taxing the average amount
OF their deposits for the year.
The bill now taxing banks is re-
pealed. The old law was not in har.
niony with the Federal statutes in
regard to national banks The reve,
nue. from it was irregular and un.
certain.
