Bankers Body Sees Less Politics
~in Banking Departments With
Bettar Facilities in the Hands
of the Responsible Officials.
A survey of state banking depart:
ments by the State Bank Divislon,
American Bankers Assoclation, dis
eloses a distinct tendency the past five
years to take hank supervision out of
politics, to increase the discretlionary
powers of bank commissioners, to
lengthen their terms of office, to sup
ply them with adequate forces of
qualifiod examiners and to relleve
banking departments of dutieg foreign
to banking, eays a recent statement
issued by the association.
“We have consistently urged that
the office of bank commlissioner be as
froe from partisan politics as the ju
dlolary itself and that it be divorced
from all other functions of state gov
ernment,” the statement says, '‘Fur
ther, that his term of office be made
more eecura and lasting, with sufii
clent salary annd power granted to at
tract @and retain tho services of men
of outstanding executive ability, cour
age, resourcefulness and successful
bauking experience.
“Five years ago the first survey of
state bank!ng departments by the divi
sion demonstrated the need for im
provemenss. On the basis of data
now in band it is evident that, through
the revision of statutes in many states,
rapid' steps are being taken in the
right directlon. One by one the states |
are con.ng to recognize the primary
tmporiance of strong, competent bank
ing departments. The demand for In
ereasing the effectiveness of banking
departments is beginning to be met.”
How Bank Commissioners Are Chosen
The office of bank commissioner is
now operated as an iodependent de
partment of state government in thir
ty-four states, the bankers find, In
two states the bank commissloner is
oleclted at gencral elections; in one he
is appointed from eligible lists of the
clvil service and In &unother he s ee
lected by the banks. In one stale the
bankers' association elects a Ilst of
five names from which the governor
appoints ome as superintendent of
banks: in another he is appolutpd by
the State Corporation Commission and
fn another by the State Banking
Board. .
“Terms of office of bank commis
eloners have heen lengthened in sev
eral states during the last five years,”
the report says. “In 28 states the
term is four years, in one, five years,
and in three it {s six years and In
some the term is indefinite. A short
term is condemned on the grounds
that the commissioner has insuficient
time to become thoroughly conversant
with his fleld work. A longer term
permits his rendering useful service
through capitalizing his experience.
five years ago thie average length of
service was less than three years,
while now it has risen to five years,
Higher Standards Required
“Signs of an awakening to the ne
cessity of making successful banking
experience a qualification for bank
commissioner are evident. While elev
en states report no banking experi
ence necessary, the majority requirs
experience of this sort, ranging from
two to five years. Twelve states now
bhave banking boards, with powers
ranging from acting im an advisory
capacity to full power over all state
banks to {ssue and reject chartlers.
“A healthy sign is the number of
reports which disclose that the com.
missioners have full power to appoint
bank examiners or that these appoint.
ments are made from oivil service
lista. This power is now granted to
the commissioner by twenty-seven
states. Three require that selection
be from elvil service lists. Complaints
are still made in a few states of po
litical! pressure in the appointment of |
examiners, but the contrary seems to
he true fn a growing number of states,
The most capable commigsioner cans
not successfully perform his duties
unless he is able to command the
services of efficient, honest examiners.
‘The satety of depositors is dependent .
on their work, and their &ppointment,
fitness and compensation are highly
important. The number of examiuners
has increased 85 per cent iu the last
tive years.” TR
SKN NS et
Lure of Stock Market Partly to
Blame, but Slackened Specula
tion Expected to Bring Return
1o Thrift.
The first recession in the nation’s
savings account in banks in the twen
ty years during which records in this
fleld have been kept by the American
Bankers Assoclation was disclosed for
last year in the recent annual compila
tion prepared by its Savings Bank
Division. The shrinkage amounted to
over $195,000,000, on the basis of fig
ures for the year ending June 29, 1929,
whereas a year earlier the reported in
crense was over $2,300,000,000, the
largest ever recorded, The number
of savings depositors also decreased
during the year covered by more than
500,000 accounts. The lure of the
stock market and afiliated activities
are cited as part of the explanation
for these changes.
The association's statement saye
that savings deposits In banks and
trust companies of continental United
States on June 29, 1929, stood at S2B,
217,6566,000. The recession In savings,
it declares, indicates a fundamental
change in the savings situation, Irre
spective of whether it is temporary or
not.
How Savings Used to Grow
“In 1926 savings deposits Increased
$1,662,000,000, in 1927 almost $1,400,
000,000 and in 1928 over $2%,300,000,
000, it says. “It appears now that
gome influences in one year have taken
the gain that might reasonably have
been expected In savings deposits for
1920 and lowared them from the high
mark of the preceding year. This re
cesslon ig not one coming as a result
of drouth, famine, unemployment or
conditions outside of the United
States,
“A year ago it wasg stated: 'The year
closing June 86, 1928, reglstered the
largest gain in eavings deposits In
banks and trust companies of conti
nental United States ever recorded
in the history of this country, What
a difterence one year makes! KFrom
a gain of more than*2l4 billions of dol
lars in savings deposits to a loss of al
moset 200 milllons!
“The loss in savings deposits Is re
flected also in the loss of savings de
positors, ‘The year 1929 showed a to
tal of 52,664,127 depositors, against
58,188,348 for 1928, a loss of 524,221,
“industrial production was much
ligher last year than the preceding
year. Factory payrells were consid- |
erably greater. In production, em- ‘
ployment and trade, advances were
made over the preceding year. In the
farm geu the improvement potedgfor |
1928 @d not recede in 1920 and thei
livestock industry in all ity branches
wasg prosperous, ]
The Causec cf the Drop ‘
“The causes of the recession are |
possibly multiple. There is scarcely
any reason to doubt that one of the
{mportant factors dratning away sav
fngs and decreasing depositors has
boen the lure of profits to be made in |
stocks. [Por a number of years the
people have been regaled with stories
of profits made in stocks In all types .
of companies. During the last _lew‘;
years there has been a speclous phi
losophy preached that panics such as
formerly occurred were no longer f)os ;
sible, |
“If it was the lure of profits in |
stocks which caused the recession in ‘
saving 4, then a factor in future sav
ings Wwill be the success altendant }
upon this venture of savings depos
ftors 1 stocks. If the experiment did
not prove gencrally successful, then
anolher year will doubtiess witness
an jncrease in savings deposits as well
as in saviugs depositors.”

Accomplished Olives
NE of the best products to ecat
all by themselves, canned olives
are also an ever-ready help in
muulads and canapés, and in

canned both green and ripe. The
term green olives refers both to
color and to the condition of the
unripe fruit when pickled. If they

denotes the ripe olives.
Both varieties are used first of
all us relishes. Second on their list
of accomplishments comes their use
as a flavoring ingredient for salads,
for canapés and in sauces. When
they are used 3s a relish they are
often stuffed with pimientos, with
almonds or with anchovies. These

A Fine Appetizer
One of the best ways to use olives
as an appetizer is to wrap them
with bacon, fasten it with tooth
picks and broil them. So prepared
they have every qualification which
the best of canapés should possess.
Ripe olives lend themselves to more
different uses than green olives be
cause they are milder in flavor and
have a higher content of oil.
Stuffed green olives make a most
attractive garnish, cither whole or
sliced,
The size of the fruit governs the
price. Some of the ripe clives are
