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 |£e M ISS EVA SWAIN who, though not yet sixteen years old, has been appointed premiere danseuse of the Metropoli tan Opera Company for next season, and will be seen in At lanta. She will be the youngest premiere drnseuse in the world. 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* •lseted to Congress, C l''FHGXOS by TTisKxnr ° GEORGIA NEWS IN BRIEF OEDARTOWN.—The Seaboard Air Line is building an addition to its de pot here to enlarge the watting rooms.
