BRANCH BANKING FAVORED
i nere is now a promise of chain
banking akin to chain stores, but
under government control. This re
lates to national banks alone, as the
government has nothing to say as
to state banks. The present law au-
thorizes national banks to establish
branching in some cities and must
be within corporate limits. This was
tne Dest mat could De done at mail
time, about three years ago, but the
promoters of branch banking had no
idea of ceasing their propaganda, and
in the annual convention at San
Francisco of the bankers of the
country, again took up the subject,
Thi3 time they had assistance of
value in Comptroller of the Currency
J. W. Pole. He does not oppose this
branch banking, but that the govern-
rnent should exercise the same super-
vision as over the parent bank. It is
realized that the state banks have a
decided advantage for their number
and resources materially exceed
those in the national bank system,
and that only the right of the na-
tionals to establish branches can
helD tne situation. The membership
of the association is given at 20,000,

i i m a r r- r r r r n r r r n at
w-hich the state bankers hold over a
half, and will continue to Increase
I until competed with by national
bank branches outside their corpor-
ate limits.
I The address of Comptroller Pole
to which reference has been made is
of interest, a part of which 1b as fol-
lows:
"If a suggestion of Pole Is follow-
led. conEress in the cominsr winter
session may direct the secretary of
I.. .. - . .
me treasury, tne governor or tne ieu-
eral reserve board and the comp-
troller of the currency to study the
banking situation and to report the
mey wouiu rfcummeuu.
"Under the McFadden banting act
national banks were permitted to es-
tablish branches within the corporate
limits of all large cities where the
state law permits state Danics to nave
branches. Illinois has been one of
the states prohibiting branches by
state banks. It is considered unde-
o!,oku , o honir Dhmit ha rwr
u. . t " r
mitted to establish a nation-wide sys-
lem o1 orancnes. uompiroiier i-oie
.
has suggested that to make tte
limits the boundaries of a federal re-
serve district might prove a better
adjustment of the economic needs of
the country than to permit branch-
les within the limits of a state. Pre- I
SUmably, the effort will be made to
permit branch banking by national
. .
banks without regard to whether or
not state laws pronmit state oants
from having branches.
"Somewnat startling ngures given j
by Mr. Pole as to bank failures in
country districts and his conclusion
that the primary and fundamental
cause fcas been iact of diversinca-
tion of business are likely to be used
with considerable effect by those who
favor an extension of Branch bank-
ing oy me nanonai uaDsu.
, . . i , i i
According to Mr. Pole, about 5,-
000 banks closed their doors and tied
up deposits of more than $1, 500.- I
000,000 from 1921 to 1928. Of this
number 700 were national banks and
4,300 were state banks. In four!
states from 40 to 53 per cent of all
banks in existence in 1928 failed; I
from 20 to 25 per cent in six states,
and from 10 to 20 per cent in ten
other states.

FAIR ENOUGH

have their Indiana Robinson. If Ar-

responsjbility for the market crash
fin the prosperity chances of Mr. Hoo
ver, Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Mellon,
Indiana Robinson discovered a Demo
cratic culprit in the golden rhap
sodies of Mr. Raskob. So, as it now
stands, the guilt is divided 50-50 be
tween the two major parties and the
senatorial Robinsons, which seems to
us to be fair enough.

THE LOBBY SCANDAL
I The government by committee
to which the Hon. Henry L. Stim-
- son, now Secretary of State, objected
years ago, continues the most useful
institution at Washington. The in
quiry which a Senate committee is
making into lobby practices is doing
more to reveal the national capital
to the rest of the country than any-
thing mat has nappened since an-
other Senate committee investigated
certain oil leases.
It has been known for years that
nothing is easier than to collect
f
money from business upon the score
that Bolshevists are about to get the
country, that Federal taxes can be
reduced by influenza working upon
Congress at close range, or that by
I chipping in something it is possible
to get tariffs raised. That the aver-
age corporation only half believes
any of these pretexts, but still wants
to go on record against radicalism,
i - -
for tax reduction, and devoutly wish-
ing for more tariff. Is proved by testi-
Imony given this week concerning the
activities of the Southern Tariff As-
sociation and the American Taxpay-
ers' League. Rich concerns like the
i . A a .
standard uu to. or. ivemucKy gave as
little as $10. Missouri has been a
liberal contributor, particularly on
the score of lower corporation taxes,
a cause to which contributions rang-
ed in the State from $500 by giant
concerns like the International Shoe
Co. to $10 by a weather-stripping
company.

N0T AN EXPLORER
Pin a boquet on Dr. James C
Bardin, professor of Spanish at the
University of Virginia, who had the
courage to come out and says that
all the so-called "discoveries" of a
lost Mayan civilization in Yucatan
were not discoveries at all; that the
existence of the Mayan ruins had
long been known to archaelogists.
Colonel Lindbergh may possibly
have believed that he was playing
the role of discoverer when he pilot
ed his plane over the Mayan ruins
amid the Jungles of the Isthmus, but
the press reports of his exploits caus
ed all real scholars to smile, and Dr.
Bardin is the first to undertake the
unpleasant task of debunking the
Lindbergh "discoveries." There are
many corners of the earth about
which the civilized world knows lit
tle or nothing, but Yucatan, a coun
try of dense Jungles, is not one of
them. The existence of the Mayan
ruins have been known both to the
natives and white men for gener
ations. Dr. Bardin told a simple truth
when he said that the explorations
of Lindbergh "have no scientific
value."

Fortune to
Robbers in Hold
up of a Bank
Five Men Make a Haul of Around
$200,000 and Escape in Town
of Jefferson, Wis.
Jefferson, Wis. Five men held up
the Farmers and Merchants' bank of
Jefferson on Thursday and escaped
with between $150,000 and $210,
000 in cash and securities. The loss
was covered by insurance. After slug
ging the cashier and firing two shota
into the floor, the men sped out of
town. Sounding the burglar alarm
failed to attract the attention of citi
zens. It had been ringing almost
daily because of mechanical faults.
A check up of the loot obtained
was under way at night. Assistant
Cashier Risen estimated at $140,
000 in securities, approximately half
of which was negotiable, and $10,
000 in caRh. A director, Robert Bul
winkel, placed the total at $210,
000. of which $200,000 was in se
curities.
All main roads in Wisconsin were
under guard as county authorities
watched for the robbers. The be

around after starting in the direction
of Milwaukee and circled toward the
north and west, possibly toward Iowa
or Minnesota. Their car bore accord

Only four persons were in the
bank, during the noon hour as the
robbers drove up. One man remained
on guard on the sidewalk while the
other four entered. Charles Owen, a
manufacturer, was looking into the
bank window. The men seized him
and bundled him inside before he
could cry out. He and two aasist-

MHLI0NS FOR SAFETY
Last year Amercian railroads spent
almost 195 millions for the Improve
ment of safety devices, according to
a recent report.
Tremendous sums are continually
invested in heavier rails, block sig
nals, steel passenger cars, elimina
tion of grade crossings, etc. In
every phase of operating steps have
been taken to eliminate hazards and
minimize risks. A3 a result, during
the last 10 years the number of
fatalities on railway property, due to
circumstances within the control of
the lines, has decreased 61 per cent.
It is a notable, but unhappy fact
that accidents outside the control of
the railroads have increased during
these same years. Grade crossing ac
cidents, which are within the juris
diction of the motoring public, have
steadily risen, in spite of gigantic ex
penditures for crossing protection.
The public has, apparently, turned a
deaf ear to the old plea of "Stop,
look and listen."
The safety work of the railroads
has been equally as important as
their work in cutting costs and rais
ing standards of service. It would
seem that the least the public can
do is to cooperate in preventing acci
dents which are solely within the
control of the public.
