REFORM STATE
Governing Department That Will
Insure Greater Security for
Depositors Probable.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
That much constructive legislation
With respect to Georgia banking laws
Is In serious contemplation for the in
coming Legislature is now an assured
fact.
Indeed, it looks as if the entire
'banking code, from top to bottom,
will bo thoroughly reformed, and with
an eye largely to the greater secur-
Wy or depositors.
So successful auid beneficial has
been the operation of the new tnsur-
9Tioe law, that Georgia financiers are
encouraged to hope for much
tanking legislation this summer that
was denied them last.
Avt a recent convention of bankers
in. Savannah this matter was refer-
to a sub-committee from the state
organization and some very definite
recommendations already have been
a-gped upon.
The Legislature will be asked to set
W Independent department of
‘■'ng, with a superintendent., to be
nted by the Governor, in charge.
11! be asked that this department
made separate and distinct from
Treasury Impart men t.. In re
sting this bankers do not Intend
pefiect In any way on the present
^ i treasurer, who also is state bank
liner, but merely that the bank-
k think their business may be more
‘sfactorlly conducted under dts-
managemcnt of its own.
long other things, the new bank-
laws proposed will require the
rtatendant of banks to have had
less than five years experience
practical banking, but he must not
i connected with the management of
any bank or have business relations
Wtth any bank. The new laws also
wilt provide for a board of bankers,
as an advisory institution, to be paid
a certain sum per diem, when called
in session; for an assistant superin
tendent, and such bank examiners as
may be required, but not more than
one examiner for every 75 banks; for
authority whereby banks ma> be
closed peremtorily when found to be
violating the law, with additional au
thority within the department to pro
ceed with the liquidating of closed
banks, if advisable.
The tentative salaries to be named
in the new law are $4,000 per an
num for the superintendent. $2,000
for the assistant, and $1,800 for the

examiners.
Banks examined will pay a fee of
from $12.50 to $150 for each exami
nation, according to the magnitude
of the work. These fees will go to
the maintenance fund of the depart
ment.
There are many other features of
these new laws yet to be agreed upon
by the bankers, but the foregoing are
some of the most salient points In
volved.
The last proposed banking act was
lost because of two things -first. It
was permitted to drag in the House
too long, and second, it was entirely
$oo voluminous.
The new act is to he much smaller
volume and Is to be pushed from
he meeting of the General Assem
bly,
It 1s practically certain that Wil
liam ,T. Harris, chairman of the State
Democratic Executive Committee, will
not resign the chairmanship when he
goes to Washington to be director of
the census.
Mr. Harris has consulted with a
number of h1s friends, and xvfth many
jgambers of the state committee as to
the advisability of his resigning, and
With unanimous voice they have In
sisted that he dismiss the idea from
his mind. They say there is no earth
ly reason why he should quit the
chairmanship, merely because he is
to be a.n office holder in Washing
ton. Indeed, many precedents sus
tain the other point of view.
Mr. Harris, therefore, has all but
definitely made up his mind not to
resign.
Representative Ed Wohlwender. of
Muscogee, the only man in the last
House who succeeded In browbeating
a seemingly reluctant rules commit
tee into doing something It didn't
want to do, is in Atlanta’s highly ap
preciative midst today.
Wohlwender will return to the next
House, which is insurance sufficient
against a dull time, anyway.
Represenative R. C. I.esuer, of
Crawford County, says the people of
Me section are more awake to the
necessity of good roads nowadays
than they ever have been before. His
county Is contemplating a $150,000
bond issue with which to earr\ for
ward much fine toad work already
under way.
Mr. Lesuer is very much interested
1n the propo^-d Federal aid to good
roads, and will take a hand In shap
ing such glimmer legislation as is
necessary to put Georgia in line for
Its share.
The Albany Herald rather forcibly
expresses the opinions of a great
many Georgians to-day when it says:
"It seems that there is to be no end
to prohibition agitation in Georgia,
■che prohibitionists now have their
prohibition and the liquor drinkers
have their liquor whenever they want
it: but nobody appears to be satisflcJ.
Many good people, including thou
sands who stand for temperance and
consistently practice It in their daily
lives, have become tired of a pro
tracted agitation which accomplishes
nothing and profits nobody except .t
few small politicians and professional
agitators, but it'seems that tiiere is
no escape from it and that it is to
go on forever.”
Representative Tinsley Rngsl.md
to-day said he was thinking of an
nouncing himself a candidate for
speaker, “as a sort of compromise”—
although what It is that, is to be
compromised, the gentleman from
Talnot didn’t say.
Congressman Tom Bell’s case may
be known to Tinsley, and he may
have had it In mind when he made
his speakership announcement.
Bell says when he first mentioned
the fact he had a notion of running
for Congress, nobody apparently, w o
sufilcioutly interested even to as c.
"Well, Tom, why don’t you?”
Nevertheless. Tom eventually wa*

There, is no other treatment for ca
