cades until today it consumes over
oone-third of every dollar, Of bank
Many bankers in their efforts to,
meet competitive conditions and to
maintain established rates on de-
posts are being practically forced
into high yield paper where the
credit risk is unduly5 burdensome."
In recent years. said Mr..
Halves, ''the Federal reserve system
has been making studies Of income
and expenditures which should
prove very helpful to the banking
fraternity. These studies have I'M
covered some astounding facts re-
garding the banking business, espe-
cially with respect to the trend Of
costs in banking.

that for the fiscal year, ended June.
80. 1891, the gross income of all
member banks was $3.50, 671, 600
and that for the calendar year, 1925,
gross income was $1,918, 094, 00o,- an
increase Of only $SS,423,000 during
g, four.year period of expanding
business. On the other hand, in
tefest paid on deposits by the mem.
Der banks rose from SAFE. 00S 600 to
