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. GEORGIA ne!ws in brief D EDA ^ TOWN. The Seaboard Air Line is building an addition to Its de pot here to enlarge the waiting rooms. To Open Bridge Bids.
