Car Owners Oppose
Clearing Rural Roads

Madison, Wis. - Motor vehicle
owners generally are opposed to a
general program for keeping rural
highways clear of snow during the
winter months, according to a survey
made by the state highway commits
sion.
Of 1000 automobile owners who
answered the questionnaires on the
subject, only 270 favored the plan of
keeping highways open twelve months
of the year. A large majority of
those answering also declared that it
is not economical to attempt to keep
highways open throughout the year.
The QUESTIONABLE was sent out to
obtain a review of sentiment among
a representative group of the more
than 100000 motor vehicle owners in
Wisconsin. Those answering were
distributed among rural communities,
villages and cities. The results also
show that majority of those an
swering believed it is not economical
to operate an automobile during the
winter months.

taken up by the highway department
and recommendations may be made to
the next legislature on the subject.
Information obtained from other
states generally are taking up the
task of clearing snow from the high
ways.

PARKER WOULD REVISE
STATE BANKING LAWS
Commissioner of Banking to Suggest
Changes to the Legislature
Next Year.

Madison, Wis.-Revision and modi-
fication of Wisconsin banking laws, to
eliminate provisions and make changes
necessary to meet present banking
conditions, will be recommended to
the next state legislature by Dwight
T. Parker, state banking commissioner,
he declared today.
"Wisconsin's banking laws are rec
ognized as among the best of any
state in the nation" Commissioner
Parker said, "but there are many de-
tails in which the present statutes are
out of date. They should be so revis-
ed as to meet present conditions in
the banking world. Some of the laws
have been on the statute books for
twenty years without revision"
Several changes of outstanding inn
portance will be recommended by
Mr.. Parker. The leading changes
advocated will include:
Reduction in the amount or per
cent of capital and surplus which
bank may loan an individual or firm.
Under present laws, a bank can loan
up to one-half of its capital and
surplus to the same person.

from borrowing money from the in
stitution. The present laws on the
subject are endangering the solvency
of the banks, Mr.. Parker said.
Place greater responsibility for
banks condition upon directors. At
present, Mr.. Parker says, many bank
directors are grossly negligent and
inactive in bank affairs, leaving the
management to the cashier. This con-
dition has been responsible for several
bank failures in the state, he stated.
