SILVER COIN SCARCITY IN
CANTON
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. Democratic Babaial experts in the House and Senate to-day began drafting a drastic banking reform bill designed to give American bank* ing some of the strength if not the form of the British system which President Hoover praised in hie annual message to Congress. Contralisation of power in " the Federal Reserve Board and the au- thority to compel alį banks in the nation to conform to the Federal Reserve requirements, is the key- "RIGHT" OF
* of the proposed bill.
· Most of the banks that have fail- ed in United States are banks chartered by the states and over which the Comptroller of Currency has no authority: Five-sixths of the failures have been those of alate banke.

The reform bill would permit na ete tional banks which are under the supervision of the Federal authori ties to engage in branch banking. Hitherto this has been prohibited largely because of opposition from the state banks which declared they would be put out of business by the larger banks. The law would provide that the Central or par ent bank provide adequate"guar-"

under the new, bill, few months, which has severely effected the trade and commerce of the minor businesses in Canton, is said to be due to two reasons,
The first is the outshipment of coins by local bankers, estimated in excess of $50,000,000. This out flow of coinage from the city, has. not been balanced by a simultane oas inflow from other sources. Hence laws were passed recently to forbid the shipment of: coins from Caaton in excess of $50 per person,

In the boom days prior to Octo- ber, 1929, huge amount of funds made available to commercial in- terest was were used in stock specu- lation. This was proved by investi- gation of the Senate banking.com. mittes and his leakage, showed an- other serious weakness in the bank- ing system.
The second cause is the deposit ing instead of loaning of money by the local banks. The with oldinging of silver by the banks haaksited in the buying and selling of Hong Kong exchange which requires un- usually largo reserves.

It was brought to public atten- tion that there were more than 14,000 state and private bank-ng
institutions that were not subject to Federal,con- trol. Much of the leakage into speculative channels was through the state banks. Poor securities 398.30 were accepted by these banks, and funds were used for speculation. When the crash came the securities were greatly reduced in value.
Real Estate Loans,
::
The bill proposed to-day would strictly limit the real estate losna that, banka may make. The realty. market -wah the first to feel the below of the depression. Mortgages could not be sold and foreclosures loaded the banks with farms, manu- facturing plants and homes. The banks were compelled to enter the theatre, farming and motorcar manufacturing business in cases. The result was strain on some of the strongest banks in the country.
