CONTROLLER GIVES GOOD
ADVICE TO CONGRESS
(ASsociated Press

Washington, Jan. 9.-Limitation of
the privilege of rediscounting bank
paper as a means of extending credit
was recommended to Congress today
by d. R. Crissinger, comptroller of
the currency, in his report for the
year ending last October 81. Redis-
counting of one banks paper by an
other bank is, at best, he said ''a ques-
tionable procedure' and is liable to
become a menace when "a bank py-
r9mids its credit" through misuse of
the privilege.
81 feel that recent experience ad-
monishes US of the need for limita-
tions and safeguards against the pos
sibility of excesses," Mr.. Crissinger
said. eff the law had placed a wise
and proper limitation upon the ex-
tent of these rediscounts, very few
national banks, in my opinion, would
have failed or even been gravely en-
barrassed"
The comptroller recorded his en-
phatic opposition to the tax exemp-
ton, proposed by Congress, of $500
Of income received from money in
vested in building and loan associa-
tions, declaring that it "offers a new
method for the tax dodger, is undesir-
able and class legislation" He re-
iterated sundry recommendations to
meet changed conditions in methods
of banking" al lof which, he said, al
ready have been embodied in resolu-
tons presented in Congress.
Mr.. Crissinger devoted consider
able space in his report to an econium
of the national banks of the country
which, he said, throughout the trying
period of last year demonstrated a
most impressive ability, strength and
soundness of management"
National banks chartered during
the year totalled 169, the report
showed, with aggregate capitalization
of $20,005,000. In the same period
"a banks were reported to have failed
and 90 to have gone into voluntary
liquidation.
State commercial banks showed the
greatest increase for any single class
of banking institutions, the comptrol-
Ter reported, growing from 1895 to
18,875, with aggregate resources in
creasing by S190,000,0O0 Loan and
trust companies increased 66 in mum
Der but decreased S138 100000 in re-
sources.

GAINESVILLE VERSUS OCALA
BASKETBALL GAME
Gainesville Sun. 8thl


The Gainesville high school basket
ball team opened its season last night
with whirlwind game with the
Ocala five, defeating them by score
of 80 to 10. Altho' this was practically
massacre for the local lads, the
Ocala boys fought hard battle and
were defeated only by the superior
training. weight and playing of the
Gainesville lads. Contrary to the
score the visitors fought until the
last moment of the contest.
Sara of Gainesville played the
stellar role in the game, but all the
rest Of the Gainesville lads came up
d close second, if indeed there was a
shade of difference in their class of
playing. Vickery, of the purple and
white, did not have a fair chance to
show up his playing as he might have,
for he was handicapped by injuries
which gave him only short while to
play, and then with the full use of
only one foot. This player showed,
IN the short while he participated,
that he is quick and accurate and
when he is able to play without this
drawback great things are expected
of him.
The playing of Hiatt on the local
team deserves special mention, for
thru him many of the goals were
made possible and his accurate basket
shooting will bring him to a high
standing in state circles. Mcdowell,
altho' he does not come up in size to
many of the players is nevertheless
one of the most steady on the team
and his playing can always be relied
on in a pinch.
The line-ups were: Gainesville,
Brumley, Watson, Sara, Hiatt, Nc
Dowell; Ocala, Hall, Thomas, Knight!t
Ferguson, Blowers.
