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 be thoroughly reformed, and with
an eye largely to the greater secur
ity of depositors.
So successful and beneficial has
been the operation of the new insur
a nee law, that Georgia financiers are
gi'eatly encouraged to hope for much
hanking legislation this summer that
was denied them last.
At a recent convention of bankers
in Savannah this matter was refer
red to a sub-cominittee from the state
Organization and some very definite
recommendations already have been
agreed upon.
The Legislature will be asked to set
up an independent department of
banking, with a superintendent, to be
appointed by the Governor, in charge,
it will bo asked that this department
be matte separate and distinct from
t*>* Treasury Department. In re
questing this bankers do not Intent?
to reflect in any way on the present
state treasurer, who also is state bank
examiner, but merely that the bank
ers think their business may be more
aatiafactorlly conducted under dis
tinct management of its own.
Among other things, the new ban!
Inc laws proposed will require the
superintendent of banks to have hiu^
hot less than five years experience
in practical banking, but he must not
be connected with the management o?
any bank or have business relations
frith any bank. The new laws also
will 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 a*
may be required, but not more than
one examiner for every 75 banks; for
authority whereby banks may be
closed peremtorily when found to b.
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 $4.00!) per an
num for the superintendent. $2,000
for the assistant, and $1,800 for tie )
examiners.
Banks examined will p* y a fee of
from $12.50 to $150 for each exam -
nation. according to the magnitude
of the work. These fees will go t »
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
too voluminous.
The new act is to be much smaller
in volume and is to be pushed from
the meeting of the General Assem
bly.
It is practically certain that Wil
liam J. 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 his friends, and with many
members 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 in no earth
ly reason why he should quit the
chairmanship, merely because he is
to be an 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
re*!gn. \
Representative Ed Wohlwende . of
Muscogee, the only man 1n 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. Leauer. of
Grawford County, says the people of
Ms section are more awake to the
necessity of good roads nowadava
than they ever have been before. His
county i# contemplating a $150,000
bond Issrue with which to carry for
ward much fine road work already
under way.
Mr. Lesuer i? very much i-nterested
In the proposed Federal aid to g^oa
roach*. and will take a hand in shap
ing such summer legislation as is
necessary to put Georgia in line for
it* snare.
The Albany Hera'd rather forcibly
^xprewee the opinions of a great
many Georgians to-day when It aays:
• It seems that there is to be no end
io prohibition agitation in Georgia.
The p-ohibltionisis now have th^lr
prohibition and the liquor drinkers
have their liquor whenever they want
It; but nobody appears to be satisfied.
Many good people, including thou
sands who stand for temperance and
consistently practice it in their daily
lives, have become tired of a pro-
u-acted agitation which accomplishes
nothing and profits nobody except
few small politicians and professional
agitators, but it seems that there is
no escape from it and that it i* to
go on forever.”
Representative Tinsley Rac\*land
to-day said he was thinking of on
nouncing himself a candidate fo
speaker, "as a sort of compromise'--
although w'hat it is that is to be
compromised, the gentleman from
Talnot didn’t say.
Congressman Tom Beil'* case may
be known to Tinsley, and he nny
hare had 1t In mind when he mad*»
hiz speakership announcement.
Beil says when he firat mentioned
the fact lie had a notion of running
for Congress, nobody apparently, w:t>
sufficiently interested even to ask.
‘Wei 1 Terr, why don’t you?”
, Nevertheless. Tom eventually *a-
t acted to Congress.

forme and stages of catarrh. It is so
uniformly successful in this com

is always sold on money hack if not
benefited plan
There is no other treatment for ca
tarrh that is like Hyomei or just as
good. None can take iis place, none
give such quick and sure.rcllef and ai.
so little cost. Its medication Is
breathed through a pockot inhaler
that comes w;tit every outfit, thus
reaching the most remote cells of the
air passages, killing the catarrhal
germs and soothing and healing the
irritated mucous membrane.
Begin the use of Hyomei to-day
and you will soon fine that the of
fensive breath, the droppings into
the throat, the discharge from the
nose, sniffling and all other symp- ;
toms of catarrh are overcome. The ,
complete outfit costs hut $1.00. Ex
