The bill raising the limit of loans
that may he made by national banks
to one borrower, passed the senate
and bouse last week In an amended
form, is now in the hands of the
president. The bill permits national
banks to loan .to one borrower 10
per cent of their unimpaired capital
and surplus combined, whereas at
present they are limited to 10 per
cent of the capital alone. The bill as
Anally passed contained a proviso that
no such loan should exceed 30 per cent
of the capital stock of the bank. The
act as finally adopted is as follows:
"That sec. 5,200 of the revised
statutes of the United States be, and
the same is hereby amended to read
as follows: 'Section 5,200. The total
liabilities to any association, of any
person, or of any company, corpor
ation, or firm for money borrowed, in
cluding in the liabilities of a company
or firm the liabilities of the several
members thereof, shall at no time ex
ceed one-tenth part of the amount of
the capital stock of such associations,
actually paid in and unimpaired and
one-tenth part of its unimpaired sur

the total of such liabilities Bhall in no
event exceed 30 per centum of the
capital stock of ,the association. But

Mr. Cockran called attention to the
case of Illinois, which had a law ref
lating to. the inspection of slaughter
houses, but which had deliberately
permitted the circulation in other
states of food "products dangerous -'to
public health, and then asked,: . 'Is
there no law In the federal' govern-'
ment to save the people of other ,
states from their danger?' Mr. Sul?
livan, replying, said: 'I remember nofc
long ago that the gentleman from?
New York stood on this floor and.
asked tho taxing power of this nation
to be exerted in order to prevent
abuses in insurance .upon the theory
that the sovereign state did not have
sufficient power and virtue to- deal
with those abuses. And since that
speech the great state of New York
-has acted and its legislature has vin
dicated the wisdom and virtue of its
people by regulating those abuses to
the satisfaction of everybody.' This
remark evidently did. not please Mr.
Cockran. With voice pitched high and
with intense gestures he replied:
'When any action of a 'State, whether
it be permissive or directory, empow
ers a citizen of it to affect the condi
tion of people in another state by
circulating in the channels of com
merce anything dangerous to their
health and to their welfare, there is
no. excuse for the existance of a fed
eral government if -that does not pre
vent the precise condition. It must
step in and say: "All the powers of
the" state you may use as you please
inside your own borders, but you must
use them with due regard to the rights
of others, when anything sanctioned
by your laws passes beyond your bor
ders and affects their daily lives." -(Applause.)
Now, Mr. Chairman, one
moment with referenco to the question
about the great state of New York.
J did say that the taxing power ot
this government ought to be exercised
so as to limit insurance to each state
aS savings banks are regulated and,
as a matter of fact, when the gentle
man says the great state of New
York has dealt with the insurance
frauds I will tell him how it has dealt
with them. It has confirmed the hold
of the thieves on the funds that they
have been plundering. Today the in
efficient heads who were dismissed
because they were inefficient, are re
placed by' subtle tools of the same
gang that worked all the infamy
