HOUSTON. Tex, November IA
Most of the dissatisfaction which ex-
lists in Texas with reference to the
federal reserve system is on the part
of small bankers. ]. l.. Chapman, state
banking commissioner, told the con-
gressional committee investigating
the attitude of bankers toward the
deserve system here.
Among the charges which small
town bankers bring against the syS-
1em he stated, are the assertion that
its officers are. arrogant and over
bearing; that the rule requiring mem
Der banks to limit deposits with nom
member banks to 10 per cent of the
capital and surplus is discriminatory
and unfair; that the recently made
ruling under which member banks are
compelled to pay for examination by
rational bank examiners is unjust
and that failure to receive interest on
their deposits is a cause of frequent
protest.
Mr.. Chapman explained that he did
not indorse the complaints which he
cited, and declared that he had not
found any members of the federal re-
serve aystem arrogant or auto
