BANKS CONDUCT
OF TRUST FUNDS
DRAWS TRIBUTE
Income Decline Half That of
Other investments,
Farley Told.

By United Press
WASHINGTON. Oct. 23.-Income
from trust funds administered by
banks and trust companies has de-
clined only half that of other types
Of investments during the depreS-
sion. Tom K. Smith, st. Louis
banker. told the American Bankers
Association convention today.
Speaking before the trust division
of the convention, Mr.. Smith. who
is president of the Boatmen's Ma
tional bank. said that trust compa-
MES do not claim to increase the
principal of funds entrusted to
them.
Il feel. nontheleSS, that the record
of trust companies. in conserving
the principal and maintaining the
income is one of which we may feel
justly proud" he added.
1T is clearly apparent" he said.
that trust business has reached very
remarkable and very impressive to-
tails, and that the conduct of the
trust business today constitutes a
very considerable portion of the to-
tai activities of the bank and trust
companies in the United States.
H o. Edmonds, vice-president OF
the Northern Trust Company bank.
Chicago, who is president of the
trust division. discussed handicaps
of trust company operations.
One of the chief problems, he
said, is the method of holding and
securing cash funds of trust COM
panies until they are paid over or
invested.
The problem of making deposits
safe for small depoSitors is being
worked out. In addition there is
required a deposit of securities in
the case of national banks to secure
the safety of trust cash." Mr.. Ed
mondS said.
This, he believes, is unnecessary
because it provides double protec-
ton for trust funds tending to
create inequalities in treatment Of
different kinds of deposits"
He advocated legislation to re-
move the difficulty and provide
equal treatment for all deposits.

UNWARY WARNED BY
BITTER SWEET SPRIG
IN MARRIAGE OFFICE

Perhaps it wasn't done with
malice aforethought, but pros
pective enjoyers of the state of
matrimonial bliss have been think
ing twice after they enter the
Marion county clerks office these
days.
The reason for their sudden
qualm is brightly autumnal
sprig of bitter-sweet which graces
the somewhat anemic sign pro-
claiming Marriage Licenses"
Just why bitter-Sweeet should
drape itself over the shoulder of
an announcement which spells
hope for so many, is a question
about which County Clerk Glenn
Ralston and Marriage Clerk judi
son West claim to be in the dark.
Both Indignantly deny being
cynics; both deny any past eX-
periences which might lead them
to adopt the bright red berries as
a symbol Of the welded state.
There the matter rests.
And people continue to get
married.

CONSTITUTION MUST BE
FLEXIBLE, SAYS ICKES
Can Not stand in Way of Human
Needs, Secretary Argues.
BIZ THifCd Press

By iHfcd Press
CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-Alteration of
the federal constitution if it is found
to stand in the way of the human
needs of today was urged last night
in a Northwestern university SYM
postum by Harold L. Ickes, secretary
of interior.
The cabinet member said that So
cial orders must change to meet new
conditions and the laws must change
with them. His contention that
America is undergoing a basic So
cial alteration was confirmed by
Stuart Chase, noted economist, who
discussed the economics of the
changing world while Mr.. Ickes con-
fined himself to sociology.
Mr.. Ickes criticised the capitalist
order for its ruthless grubbing for
wealth." Republican party leaders,
he said, are like Lots wife, who
could not resist looking backward on
her way into new land and was
turned subsequently into a pillar of
salt.

URGED BY BANK

5-Point Program Outlined
Before Bankers at Capt.

OCT. %, 1894.
By UHficdPrcs,

By United Prcss
WASHINGTON, oct. 23.-Leo T.
Crowley, federal deposit insurance
chieftain, urged new federal leg
islstion today before the American
Bankers convention. to strengthen
the administration bank rehabili-
tatiOn program.
He expressed the view simulta-
neously that:
NO new bank or bank branch
should be chartered unless it is
economically necessary in that par
ticular community"
Calling for continued co-opera-
ton and support" from the bankers,
he outlined a fve-point legislative
program, which he said was neces-
sary because Of the failure Of $4,000
OF the nations 10000 banks since
1920.
He advocated:
l. Tightening restrictions for ad-
mission OF banks into Federal De-
post Insurance Corporation to in
clude IAN adequate ratio Of capital
10 deposits" instead of mere SOL
vency.
2. Permanent extension of the
present limit Of $1,000 for federal
insurance upon each depOsitor's
bank account.
3. Empowering the FDIC to make
appropriate rules and regulations"
to carry out the best effect" Of the
insurance law.
Insurance Here to Stay
4. Provide the FDIC with powers
to purchase assets from distressed
banks to facilitate mergers and con-
solicitations whenever possible.
5. That banks be required to pay
a definite. annual premium into
FDIC until adequate insurance re-
serves are built up to protect small
depositors.
Mr.. Crowley, the first major adj
ministration figure to face the con-
vention, asserted that the bank de-
post insurance program is here to
stay. adding that $4,000. 900 900 in
crease in bank deposits during the
last year is the evidence of increas-
ing public confidence"
The American people will not
knowingly permit a return to the
condition prior to the deposit in
surance legislation" he warned.
He asserted that the FDIC has
been active in encouraging adequate
capitalization of all member banks
and that this should be encouraged
by legislation.
Bank Strength at Peak
TN rebuilding capital structure,
we have held as a goal that a bank
should have at least 81 of net sound
capital funds for every $40 of de-
post liabilities" he said Il be-
lieve this is essential for protection
of depoSitors and should be incor-
pOrated in future legislation"
In strengthening capitalization,
he said the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation has diSburSed more
than S800000.O00 to $500 banks,
which are members of the FDIC.
This represents about "a per cent
of capital stock. notes and deben-
lures of all insured commercial
banks in the country" he said. The
general result is that banks are in
the strongest position they have
been in this observation-disclosures I
think, than they have ever BEEN"
