successful banking experience, and
that bank examiners be selected from
those having the requisite qualihca-
tions.
A careful study and survey OF state
bank supervision has been made WIN
the cooperation of State Bank Com
missioners and state bankers to bring
out the high lights of successful su'
pervision, and at the same time lhdl'
cate remediable weaknesses, as the
basis for formulating a model code
of law dealing with bank SUPERVISION
and also for developing public opinion
I'm favor of its general adoption.
This survey shows that in forty-one
states Bank Commissioners are ap-
pointed by the governors and gener-
ally hold office during their pleas
ure." In two states they are chosen
by popular election, in others they
are chosen by banking board but
in only a few is the advice Of organ
lied banking considered. In Mlssis-
| sipni the selection is made by con
vention of delegates from the state
chartered banks.
Iona Terms Make Bureaucrats
The term of office was found To
range from two years to SIX. inc
majority of recommendation favor 8
five-year term, reasoning That a loht
term of life tenure tended towarc
bureaucracy in office, while shor
term was condemned on the groundi
that the Bank Commissioner woult
scarcely have time to become thor
oughly conversant with his field o
work before the expiration OF nj
term OF service and the public woul
lose the fruits of his experience.
FIVE year term is long enough TO pei
NIT his rendering useful servlc
through capitalizing his experienc
and then If he is found capable tn
chances of his reappointment woui
be strong.
II was found that duties other tina
bank supervision are frequently IL
nosed on the banking department
ranging from insurance matters
irrigation projects and even sta
hail assurance. The almost unar

Possibly some Scientist got from

with the amount of radium in the

made harder by the provincial American tradition that

Now the great American public is at it again,
harder than Washington is of the chief
points of interest in any American tour and the Pres

go home and tell his friends how he met the Presl-
