Sadie. 10, were hailed into juvenile

SMALLER BANKS
NOT PROF|TEERS
HEAD BANKING DEPARTMENT
DEFENDS COUNTRY INSTITU-
TIONS AGAINST UNJUST
CHARGES.

Pierre, Sept. 24.-State Bank Ex-
aminer John Hirning, of this state,
is decided in his views as to the
banking situation as expressed by
Governor Harding, of the federal
reserve board. in the charge that the
country banks are profiteering in
the present money situation. Mr..
Hirning said:
II read with interest the reply OF
Governor Harding, of the federal re
serve board, to Governor McKelvie,
of Nebraska. Governor Harding
charges the banks with profiteering.
and | must assume that he means the
country banks owing to the fact that
most of the Nebraska banks outside
of one or two large cities can be put
in this class. If Mr.. Harding wants
TO make his charges good he will
have to reach a great deal higher
than the average country bank.
Il know from personal knowledge
that certain of the larger banks con-
trolled by certain interests are
10 per cent the paper actually draws,
if it draws that much. but also every
time they feel inclined to Investigate
the loans the charge the expense of
examination, which in many cases
amounts TO more than s1G0 to the
borrowing bank, And. besides, when
ever they think they want an abstract
of chatteI mortgages il is ordered and
charged TO the borrowing bank.
II know of other cases where this
class of banks charge the borrowing
banks 8 per cent on borrowed money
and charge the amount monthly If
YOU take into consideration that the
abstract fees and inspection fees also
have to be borne by the borrowing
bank you will see that these banks
the present time they are helpless
and have TO stand for il or see the
farmer wiped out
Now, if these larger banks re-
ceive the benefit of per cent rate
from the federal reserve bank, they
are the ones who should be put in
the class of profiteers, and not the
country banks which are at this time
straining every effort, no matter at
what expense TO themselves. to save
the farmers and ranchers.
These larger banks, from all ap-
pearances, received the sole benefit
of the so-called $50, 900, 900 pool or
stockgrowers' finance corporation,
and unless the government will ham
die the matter very carefully they
will also get the sole benefit from
the war finance corporation.
