among bankers than any other fea-
ture of the banking business. Two
thirds of the States do not permit
branch banking of any kind, there
fore neither National nor State bank
members of the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn will be permitted to have branch
es either in the city or otherwise in
those States, SO that the question is
narrowed down to a policy to be pur-
sued in one-third of the States. In
those States the National bankers are
not asking for the privilege of con-
Quoting Statewide branches. They
are satisfied to carry on their branch
banking business within the limits of
the cities. But some State banks that
are members of the Federal Reserve
system resent the efforts to check a
further extension of their Statewide
branch bank activities and they are
opposed to that part of the bill.
Congress has no power to regulate
the affairs of State banks unless such
State banks are members of the
Federal Reserve system. In that
event the Federal Government, hav-
ing supreme power over the Federal
Reserve system can set up any
standard or prescribe any rules or
regulations II sees nit for the con-
duct of business by State bank mem
berS or the system, because when
such banks come into the system
they put themselves under the con.
troll to a certain extent of the Federal
Government.
Early Passage Predicted.
The opposition to the McFadden
bill comes principally from certain
State banks who want to enjoy all
tn benefits of the Federal Reserve
system without any limitation of
their charter or statutory rights.
The House of Representatives has
said that Congress cannot surrender
it's power over the Federal Reserve
system to that extent and those who
are behind the McFadden bill believe
that the Senate will take similar
view and that the bill will be en-
acted into law at an early date.
Should 1t become law many large
national banks will definitely deter
mine to remain in the national bank
system and some State banks that
were formerly national banks Will
return, with consequent strength
ening Of both the national system
and the Federal Reserve system.

Changes During Ten Years.

Changes During Ten Years.
During the past 10 years National
banks converting into State banks
sets out of the National banking sys-
tenn and the process of conversion
from one system to the other is still
going on. Recently, because of the
keen competition of State banks, the
largest National bank in the state of
New York outside of New York City
by converting into a state bank took
$50 900 900 out of the National bank
system. MANY other large national
banks with many millions of dollars
of assets are waiting to see what Con
greSs Will do with the McFadden bill
before they decide whether they shall
stay in the National system or convert
into State banks. For several years
National bankers in every part of the
country have been asking Congress to
amend the law in order that they may
compete fairly with State banks and
continue to do business as National
banks. These men are not selfish. 1t
would he very easy for them TO solve
their problems by becoming State
banks. but they have a pride in being
National bankers and they realize
more than any one else that National
banks are the chief reliance Of the
Federal Reserve system, which they
want to perpetuate for the benefit of
industry and commerce..
The McFadden bill as passed by the
House of Representatives is the an
swer of that branch of Congress to
their request. This week they will
lay their case before the Senate. II
the Senate adopts the McFadden bill

come, but If the Senate fails to act
many large National banks will un-
doubtedly hasten to surrender their
National charters and become State
banks. The result Of these CONVEX
sions will be that the control by the
Federal Government of the Federal
Reserve system will be greatly weak
ened.
Chief Aims of Bill
the principal features of the Nc
t'adden bill are intended TO place the
national banks upon a plain of COM
petitiVe equality with State banks,
and while they will not permit IA ma
tional bank to do all of the things
that State bank can do, neverthe-
less these proposed amendments are
satisfactory to the national banks.
National hank charters now permit
a bank to exist for 90 years. AS the
laws of many of the States permit
State banks and trust companies TO
exist for an indefinite or an indie
terminate time, the national banks
believe that their charters should
permit them to exist for an indie
terminate time in order to carry on
a trust business, which they are now
permitted TO do by the Federal re.
serve act There cannot he aDy Oh
lection TO this because Congress has
right to terminate the existence of
national banks at any time, and their
charters can he forfeited if they be-
come inSolvent. In other words, ma
tional banks simply want the right to
live as long as they behave them
selves and obey the law.
\ national bank is permitted now
to consolidate with a state bank, but
the State bank must first be turned
into d national bank. which is an In
direct way of bringing the two to-
gether. The McFadden bill will per-
nit national bank to consolidate di-

Another Vital Point.

Another section of the bill permits
"A national hank to rediscount with
, its Federal Reserve bank paper that
is eligible for rediscount up to the
amount which II can discount law
fully for its customers on the theory
that any paper which the act con-
cedes safe for n national bank to
take should be accepted by the Fed
eral Reserve bank to the same ex-
tent that the national bank is per-
United to take 1t.
Many national banks located in
cities have left the national system
because of the keen competition of
State banks that are permitted by
the laws of their State to have
branches. The bill proposes to per-
NIT national banks to establish
branches in cities. A national bank
in city with a population Of $4,000
to 10000 may have one branch, in
cities with a population Of from So
600 TO 100000 two branches, and in
cities with II population of 100, 900
and over any number of branches all
subject, however, TO approval by the
controller OF the currency. Such
branch banking is not branch bank
Ing in its true sense because the
control of deposits is still in the
hands OF local people whereas the
ing are under absentee control.
This question of permitting ma
tional banks in cities to have
branches has brought forward the
question of Statewide branch
banking and 1t is necessary.
If Congress proposes to give national
| banks in cities the relief they de-
sire In this respect, to take II def
mite and positive stand on the sub
| Therefore, another provision OF the
! bill recites that State banks that are
members of the Federal Reserve sys-

| branches they have. but thew cannot
establish any additional State wide
branches so long as they are mem
| bers of the Federal Reserve system,
but they will have the same rights
with respect to city branches that
| national banks enjoy.
This question of Statewide branch
| banking has attracted more attention
