general counsel of the American
Bankers Association. in his annual
report. In addition. there were in
session in 1923 forty-three state Leg

relative to banks.
One of the measures particularly
vital to banking. he says. was federal
Legislation sought by the tax COM
missioners Of number of states to
amend the United States Revised
statutes so as to permit the states
to place banks in a class by them
selves for purposes of taxation. The
amendment advocated by the tax
commissioners was rejected by Con-
gress.
In regard to the efforts of the as
sociation to promote uniformity In
banking law. the general counsel
says:
Inform Laws Desired.
SIN our country. with its forty
eight separate state law-making
bodies. there is a great tendency to
diversity of rule. judicial and statu-
tory. and to counteract this the stat es
have created commissioners on uni
form state laws. The uniform acts
on negotiable Instruments. ware
house receipts, bills of lading and
stock transfers. which have been
recommended and their enactm ent
materially aided by the American
Bankers Association. have been the
n of stxNy
"Uniformity of rule should be re-
tanned. 1t is regrettable that the
negotiable instrument act has been
amended by the legislatures OF a
number of states and is gradually
losing its uniform character. The
amendments may be beneficial. but
their application is only local II
will probably be a task confronting
the law office of the association to
draft supplemental amendatory act
bringing in the good in all existing
amendments of the negotiable instru :
amendments as experience indicates
are needed and urge It's universal
enactment in all the states.
The law governing banking is not
all contained in statutes. Several
hundred new questions arise each
year for decision by the courts. 1t is
not infrequent that decisions provide
rule so out OF harmony with recog-
nized banking custom or oppressive
in its application to legitimate bank
ing dealings that ii calls for legtsla-
tive correction. and II has been the
practice to frame and recommend the
enactment OF remedial state statutes
in such cases"
New Legislation Urged.
Bills have been recommended by
the association on fiduciaries' checks
stop payments, stale checks. adverse
claims to deposits. payment of forged
checks, deposits in two names. de-
rosits In trust. competency of bank
rotaries, non-payment of checks
through error. Saturday afternoon

direct to payer. false statements for
credit and bank SANDER. all Having

of decision upon a question where a
positive rule is essential.

Loss of business through alleged un-

other reasons include exchange from
