WOLCOTT URGES
CHANGES IN LAW
GOVERNING BANKS
State Department Should Be
Enlarged, Commissioner
Says,

Appointment OF a legislative COM
mittee TO work for a revision Of In
diana banking laws was urged by
Eben II. Wolcott, State bank com
missioner. before the Indiana Bank
ers Association at the Claypool to-
day.
These changes in the law are
needed. he said:
Restricting expenditures Of banks
as to buildings and fixtures. Some
institutions have practically their
entire capital invested in buildings
and fixtures.
The law as to cash reserve should
be more clearly defined and the
banking department should be
given more authority in matter Of
excess loans.
Changes in the law regarding re-
ceiverships. If the banking depart
ment were placed in charge of banks
going into receivership, instead OF
individuals being named, it would re-
suit in big saving. Wolcott said. He
said this is done in twenty-eight
States.
Enlargement Of the State banking
department. In 1912. when there
were 1872 banks doing a total OF
1925. 900 900 in business. Today
there are $50 banks doing business
Of 1922. 600. 900. Wolcott said. The
banking department has only two
more examiners tina nit had in 1912.
There have been only three State
bank failures since October, 1928,
he said.

Outside the walls of Jericho, the

Everybody had to have creden
tials, and good ones, to get a start
UP the driveway toward the house.
The jewel robbery at Joshua Cos

were gray clad State troopers. blue
coated constables. lynx-eyed secre-

Scotland Yard detectives. Across
the lawns now Swallowed by the
imported yew trees. now revealed
by searchlights playing from the

Not a jewel was lost. Not a pearl

Finally the goose-heshed gathering
outside the walls decided that they
were not going to fall and went
