Economics. Not Theology

The day IS not far distant when
economics, instead of theology, will
prove that some of the Puritans'
views were decidedly right. Plain
living and high thinking have at least
the advantage of not ending in a
states prison finish. But this condi.
tiOn of things will never be bettered
by preaching, and having this fact in
mind, l would make certain recon-
mendations:
That you back your Chamber of
Commerce, support it in its endeavOr
to clean your community of worthless
security offerings, let them run your
local advertising campaigns advising
your citizens to secure information as
TO the offering being made by mail or
salesman to your fellow w-townsman
and then we feel that your commun-
ity will be greatly benefited, you as
bankers will receive the benefits in
an indirect way, and the thousands of
dollars that are annually finding their
way into the pockets of the swind-
ling gentry will be salvaged for legit-
innate investment and the Blue Sky
Promoters will no longer be stealing
the sales of your depOsitOrs.

Safeguarding Securities

Thomas B. Patton, general counsel
of the American Bankers Association
reviewed the history and development
of the law governing the duties and
responsibilities of banks in the safe
keeping of customers securities and
in the rental of hire of safe deposit
boxes, and declared under the law the
bank is not an insurer of the safety
of securities or of the contents of
boxes within its charge, but holds the
relation of ballee and, in the absence
of con tract defining and limiting its
liability, is charged with the duty of
exercising ordinary or reasonable
care, the degree of care a prudent
person would take of his own prop
erty. The most frequent causes of
loss are those arising out Of theft and
burglary, he said
The speaker cited a class of cases
where bonds left for safe keeping
had been msappropriated by a bank
officer. In most Of these cases where
the bank had no knowledge of the
unworthiness Of its officer, it has been
absOlved from liability, but where il
has come to the knowledge Of the
bank that the officer has been specu-
