ASP to 1885, and in resources from
SI.354 100000 to $14,l99,000,000.
The loan and trust companies, which
in many respects do a regular bank
ing business, as you know, actually
decreased IN number-due to CONSOLE
dation doubtless-but increased in re-
sources from IS, 4S9 100000 to $751;
100000.
1t Will be observed that, although
the commercial state banks, not in
Guiding trust companies, outnumber
the national banks by more than two
to one, their total resources are SIX
billions less than the resources Of the
national banks.
How do these figures compare with
the banking power of all the banks IN
the Federal Reserve System, both ma
tional and state, including trust COM
panies?
The resources of the state bank and
trust company members of the sys-
tenn on June 80, 1921, were SlO,OO9,-
100000, making the aggregate re-
sources of all members of the Sys-
tenn 500 $50 100000 against resources
of S12,371, 100000 of the commercial
state banks and trust companies not
in the System. The system thus en-
braces about 60 per cent Of the entire
banking power" of the country, as
usually expressed, including mutual
savings banks and all private banks,
but about 70 per cent of the CONNER
cial banking power. In April, 1913,
about five months after organization
of the Reserve Banks, their total re-
sources were $340,000,000, all reserve
deposits not having been paid IN at
+ that time. In October, 1920, their re-
sources had grown to $4,000 100000,
ard the Reserve Banks were then lend
/ ING their members SO, l00,O0O,O0O, al
/ though the reserve deposits OF MEM
bers were only about $l,SOO,OOO,OOO.
f The amount Of Federal Reserve notes
outstanding then was S3,4OO,OOO,O0O.
Such is the value and power OF the
+ credit and currency principles en-
| bodied in the Federal Reserve Act. IN
April, 1915, the resources OF the FED
eral Reserve Bank of Richmond were
only l5,5OO,0OO; at the greatest pc
riod of expansion they reached $780,
! 100000 The Richmond bank organ
/ lied with less than d dozen employees.
They now number 773, including the

Richmond, Va, July 2O.-The Elr-
ginia tuberculosis Association is Tor
tunate in having the active co-opera'
ton of two congressman, according
to statement given out today by
Mrs. L. C. Flanagan, who is one OF
the field organizers for the assocla-
ton.
Congressman Murray Hooker OF the
Fifth District is an active member
of the Patrick County tuberculosis
Committee, and Congressman r. Wal
ton Moore, representative Of the
Eighth District, has written, under
date of July 18th, to the Virginia Tu-
berculosis Association expressing his
interest in the new county Organiza-
ton plan which is now being carried
on in the State preliminary to the an
nual Seal Sale which is conducted
every fall for the support of tubercu-
losis work throughout the State.
Congressman Moore says: II do
not know to what extent the disease
prevails, or is threatened, in my county
of Fairfax, but | am writing to say
that if | can be of any assistance in
the way of influencing public senti-
ment to exert itself more actively in
that county, or any Of the counties of
Northern Virginia, you can count on
me-.
$4,000 was raised last year by the
Seal Sale, all of which was returned
to the respective communities in which
the money was collected for public
health work except $4,000 which is
being used for the running expenses
of the Association. $4,000 of the
proceeds of the Seal Sale is being used
in promoting permanent clinics and
public health nurses in SO counties and
eight cities of the State.
