tional Bank of the Republic, fourth in
the city in total resources. announces
the first Chicago bank chain, National
Republic Incorporation, with IS banks
and investment companies, combined re-
sources more than $3.50, 000,00 Names
of only IL have been disclosed. Most Of
these are in Chicago. The Waukesan
State Bank, 40 miles out, is farthest re-
moved geographically.
National Bank of the Republics plan
of acquiring banks approaches branch
banking more closely than do methods
of some chain systems. Instead Of mere
ly agreeing upon price to buy control,
a price for all stock is fixed. Any mi
nority stakeholder in the bank bought
can sell or exchange his stock on basis
as favorable as that of the largest
holders. Most stockholders will make
the exchange, it is thought. National
Republic Incorporation has 100000
shares, $50 each.

National Bank of the Republic, has had
a rapid rise in Chicago banking.

Bonds VS.. Stocks
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Insurance Companies.

When the stock market was breaking
in panic fashion j Autumn a propo-
sition was advanced, with semi-oficial
sanction, to allow New York State life
insurance companies, now restricted as
to their investments, to mortgages, Sc
lected bonds and certain preferred
stocks Of the highest grade, to pur-
chase common stocks of the better sort.
At that time the idea was to provide
buyers for investment stocks, which
seemed to be almost entirely without
| support.
or course, to accomplish this result
would have required legislation, and
that would take time. Meanwhile, the
plan has been discarded. There never
was any such strong argument for life
insurance companies being allowed to
buy common stocks as there was for
similar investment by individuals. The
insurance company has obligations pay
able only in dollars. 1t Is unaffected by
any depreciation in the purchasing
power of the dollar, which has often
been serious matter to individual hold
ers Of flxed-rate securities. Moreover,
mature reflection has convinced advo-
Gates of the new idea that, as far as it
relates to the life company, the danger
of violent price fluctuations in common
stocks largely outweighs the advantages
of such ownership by those financial
institutions
1t seems likely that these buyers will
IN the future, as in the past. confine
themselves to bonds, mortgages and the
few preferred stocks they now purchase.
The insurance companies have long
been the largest buyers of bonds and
the mainstay Of the bond market. In
cidentally. the men who do the bond
buying for these companies are ad-
mitted to be the best judges, not only
of values, but Of the market, of all those
who deal therein.
Also, incidentally, there is no pros
pect whatever Of any depreciation in
the buying power of the dollar which
would make 1t advisable to substitute
common stocks for bonds in any in
veStment list. On the contrary, the
commodity price trend is distinctly
downward and to that extent the ar
gument is all in favor of the bond
against the stock.
