The positive state ments, however, of the president, J. A.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. . -The actual business of th twenty-ninth annual con. ventlon of the American Banker' associa tion brgan this morning when the delegates assembled In the California theater. The auditorium of the theater waa comfortably filled. The theater and stage were haadsomely decorated with flowers, evergreana and ferns. Right Rev. William Ford Nichols, bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Califor nia, then Invoked a divine blessing upon the gathering. Following the roll call. Eugen B. Schmlta. mayor of Ban Francisco, mad an address extending a hearty welcome to the distinguished visitors and he waa fol lowed by Governor George C. Pardee. An other address of welcome waa made by James D. Phelan. on behalf f th San Francisco banker. President Hardy made a response tc the messages of good will and hospitality, saying in part: The unprecedented prosperity of the past few years brought us last fall to a climax of high prloes tor commodities and securi ties. The same sunshine which brings to Its full fruition our rich harvest also foster the tares. So among the substantial edi fices of our prosperity, have sprung up artificial commercial structures which have failed signally to stand the teet of Urn. Over sanguine people, some probably not over scrupulous, had been capitalising and recapitalising schemes of all kinds and In- duclng people, with paper pronia. to un derwrite floatations which they wer unable to carry. The boom bad gone too far, the natural reaction set in and a general house cleaning begun where It we moat needed, in the weeding out of overcapital ised and Inflated aecurltlea. Period of Uqaldatlea. We have jrone through a period of liqui dation In speculative circle of th most drastic character without results except to the few who have gotten too far beyond their nnt ha The process Is not yet com. nlete end the war Is atlll strewn with cripples and "Indigestible" securities, but general business conditions are sound. Let us review briefly the attitude and re lation of some of onr hanking institutions to the conditions and incldenta referred to, and the methods pursued by them in th prosecution of their bualneaa. X refer especially to the vicious policy of paying tigh rate for depoaita, particularly aav- . tr.es and time depoaita. If there ia aay class of men. more than others, who should never take speculative risk It I thoee wn r handlirg the earnlnga and saving of ethics, and the seeking of de posits st high rates of Inureet. which can only be earned by speculative in- , vestments. Is a menace to sound banking. Sa vines depositor should carefully Shun, such Institutions, of which there ar. how ever, happily, but few. All tho Cwrreaey Seeded. The vast majority of ua feel assured wo have had, so far, all the currency we have needed and that an increase of It Just at this time, would lend a further undesirable stimulus to speculation. The enormoue production of gold in the last few years has been either lost sight of. or If studied will furnish food for thought The advan tages claimed for the bank circulation of other countries, over our bond secured notes, nave much merit from a aclentlfto standpoint and would have more from a practical Btandpolnt If the element of flak could be ellminsted which haa brought destruction In some Instances. The rraeticsl question is. could It bo satis, factorily grafted on to our banking system, and if so, howT The idea of a "central bank" or a "branch banking system" I repugnant to our conception of free gov ernment and Institution, and. unless I mistake the temper of our people, will never be accepted. Neither win any form of currency be accepted which doe not carry with it the arre confluence of secur ity which our bank note new enjoy. A consideration of our present develop ment and conditions would not be complete without reference to our corporationa of the present day. Great Iadaatrtal Corporatloaa. In the formation of our great Industrial corporations, we have been confronted with new and strange 00 minions. Eliminating thoee of fraudulent or factious character, nearly all of them have been subject to criticism In the matter of capitalisation, and the weak point with all of them haa been the failure to provide reasonable working capital. There ha been a greater creation . of securities in the consolidation of many of our railroads than actual values, ap parently. Justify, but the concentration of management and control has brought about a stability of rates, which baa created an established value for the legiti mate securities, without hardship to tho , patron of the roads It la a serious oue. tion whether th aggregate maraet value of all our railroad securities equals th amount originally expended In the ran- ' struction of them with even a moderate re turn upon the Investments. The reduction in me cost or transportation has made It possible to move freight profitably at rate which would hav formerly been considered Impossible. I do not mean to suggest thst the roads should be left entirely free In the matter of fixing rate, but the reasonable concentration of their management should rather facilitate their control in this respect by conservative legislative enactment Eaoraseas loereaao of Baalaeee. The enormous increase of business developed by onr pros;erous conditton has so over taxed existing- facilities aa to neoes- Sliaie riiriinr, unuiv.ruiciiU) w un n have brotieht the roads into the market with borrowings which have seriously taxed our resources. Put v. n re me improve ments hsve been undertaken on a legitimate haaia. there la spparenllr lilt Is reason t spprehend any difficulty In carrying thena to a successful completion and utilisation. A word on publicity, a It relates to all public corporations. Some criticism ha recently been made of the publication of the weekly New York bank statment 1 us the incident merely to point 0 moral. The form and method of making this state ment has been more or les a suojeci or discussion for some time past. If the form and method of publication is not as accurate a It should te. maae it wnei 11 snouia ue. but do not suppress It Th publication. occasionally, of an Individual bank state ment which It subsequently eeweio'i is not leelilmsta, would be a poor ex.-ua for the suppression of bank tt lament In gen eral, and 1 think a auggeatlon that w do away with bank statement should be unanimously vetoed.
