Money must accom pany copy in all cases. That picture carried on the front page of the Georgian Wed nesday showing AdjutantGener al Camp and Sergent Blackwell dragging State Treasuer Hamil ton out of his office by force was a disgrace to the state. We don’t mean the picture itself for it pre sented the truth, but the forces back of such unholy conduct. It puts our state In a class with Louisiana under the Long re gime when it went about over that state and unseated consti tuted officials by military force under direction of a dictator. We ask you are we any longr r a law abiding people or are we truly degenerating into a mob law rul ed people.—Thomasvill Press. The same voters that elected Talmadge Governor at the same time elected Bill Harrison,comp troller general and George Hamilton treasurer, and when the Governor puts them out of office at the point of bayonets without better reasons than exist, it completes the Talmadge chapter of politics in Georgia. The situation is a constitional question which now must be set tled by the courts. Many of the states ablest lawyers differ in opinion in terpretation of the constitutional rights of those three top state officials. Two are together against one and that one has now set himself up as both executive and legislative department of the state. Proba bly he plans to remove the su preme court Judges at the point of the bayonet in case the court does not render a decision favor able to his distatorship No such alarming and chaotic situation has been experienced in Georgia since reconstruction days that required the adoption of a new constitution in 1887 to shake off the shackles. That constitution seems to b > so pointed and clear that it may be easily interpre tated. —Thomasville Press. Hints for Motorists By C. R. Strouse Director, School of Automobile*, International Correspondence Schools A N easy way to clean spark plugs is to spray them thoroughly with carbon tetrachloride. A few minutes after spraying, the carbon will be loosened and can easily be scraped off. Then blow the spark plugs out with compressed air. A hand fire extinguisher is useful for spraying the liquid, but any kind of spray gun can be used. Carbon tetrachloride is inexpensive and can be bought at most drug stores. * * • 1 Leaks in the gasoline tank can be stopped with shellac. Remove the tank, dry it out, then pour in shel lac.

BANK CHARTERING POLICY REVIEWED State Official Declares Correct Principles in Licensing Banks Are Essential for Sound Banking Conditions PHILADELPHIA. — Sound public policy in chartering banks was dis cussed by Carl K. Withers, Commis sioner of Banking and Insurance of the State of New Jersey, before the Eastern Conference on Banking Service, held here recently under the auspices of the American Bankers Association. He de dared that "few questions bearing on the future stability and security of our banking systems loom as more impor tant than that of a sound policy to be pursued in the chartering of banks. Alluding to competitive policies ot both state and national banking au thorlties to charter the most banks in the past, he said that “this country was over-banked, and that aside from any other consideration, economic or other wise, this condition was brought aboui largely through an unwise, unsafe and unthinking charter policy, alternating between tho state and national ays terns, which has marked and ham pered banking progress in this country since its very Inception.” Political influence He decried political considerations In connection with the chartering of banks, saying: "Political influence has no more place In banking than it has in the deliberations of our highest tribunal—The Supreme Court of the United States. Until this is recognized and brought into being within both our state and national systems, we may never feel safe against the shifting sands of political expedience.” As to the “element of sometimes ridiculous competition heretofore ex istlng between the state and national systems,” he said that much may be said in favor of the progress made in recent years, in many states there ex ists a practical working agreement be tween local supervising authorities and tho federal authorities, whereby all charter applications are mutually considered on a basis of community need rather than competitive advan tage as between systems. In some states this arrangement goes even fur ther In the refusal of the one authority to even consider a charter while pend ing with the other, he declared. Aside from the competitive and po lltical aspects of our future charter policy, he continued, there are several others more Individual and local which merit consideration. Among these he mentioned honesty of purpose, com munity need, the character of manage ment and adequacy of capital. Most state lawa make reference to the “character, responsibility and fit ness” ot the Incorporators of a uew bank, he said, continuing: “So Important do I conceive this tac tor to be, that 1 place It first among those for consideration, for unless the motive is sound, honest and sincere, there is little likelihood that the result ant institution In its service to the community will reflect other than the spirit of its founders. The Lessons of the Past "Too often in the past have charters been granted to promoters pure and simple—not always pure, and by no means simple. The country was dotted with such. The experience has been costly and, it is to be hoped, the lesson well learned, not only by charter-grant Ing authorities, but the public.” Other factors to be considered as among tho most important tn granting new bank charters, he said, are the number of institutions already serving the area, the record of earnings of ex lating Institutions, the number of fail ures since 1920, and the reasons there tor, public convenience and advantage, the reasonable prospects tor growth of Hie community, expectation of prof itablo operation and whether a branch bank could serve as well. "Sound public policy demands that no new banks be chartered unless there is a definite, necessitous and permanent need," he declared. "Sound mergers, consolidations and the sen sible extension of branch banking are much to be preferred to any general movement toward a flood of new char ters. But here again we must guard carefully against monopoly or un bridled branch competition, either ol which might become as dangerous as the organization of new banks.” Public Confidence Challenging a recently published statement that there is an "apparent loss of public confidence in banks,' William A. Boyd of Ithaca, N. Y„ asks why, ft this were true, bank de posits are constantly increasing. “J maintain that any banking institution which has continued to serve its com munity since the trying days of 1929 must be enjoying the respect and con tidence of that community, and 1 am sure that the very large majority o! banking Institutions which have come through this depression have never had to ‘regain’ public confidence,” he says. Trust Institutions A directory of trust Institutions pub lished by the Trust Division, American Bankers Association, lists 2,853 insti tutions having aggregate capital funds of 24,416.000,000 and total resources oi 835,443,000,000. It shows a total of 6,949 men and women engaged in this phase of bank work. The trust institutions comprise 1,356 state-chartered trust companies and banks and 1,497 na tlonal banks with trust department* located la 1,684 cities and towaf.
