State Banking Com
missioner Says Elas
ticity of New Federal
Plan Is Beneficial .
TRUST COMPANIES
ARE INCREASING
Report Shows That Financial Institu
tions With Pennsylvania Charters
Are Exhibiting No Desire to Join
the Regional Bank System
In his annual report just sent to the
Governor, covering the operations of
the Banking Department for 1914,
Banking Commissioner William 11.
t*mith deals at length with the sub
ject of Regional banks, established by
the Federal government under the new
order of financial things, and says that
no State financial institution appears to
have any desire to join the system, lie
concludes that any advantages offered
by the new Federal act are more than
offset bv the privileges State banks
now enjoy under their State char
ters. He sets forth that the one State
institution that made application for
membership has withdrawn the applica
tion. The following are the Banking
Commissioner's conclusions on this sub
ject:
"It has been the policy of this de
partment for several years, and all
f'auks and trust companies have been
advised accordingly, that the surplus
of an institution should be intact just
a< should its capital. When capital is
impaired the law is mandatory as to
the course to be taken to have the im
pairment made good. Morally we view
the impairment of a published surplus
to be as serious as the impairment of
a published cap.ta , aud hence no bank
or tr.ist company has the right to ex
hibit a surplus or to report the same
under oath to this department when
its assets are not sufficient to make
up such surplus. This advise, we are
pleased to say, has been generally
heeded.
••The year just closed has been of in
terest by reason of the amendment to
the national laws on banking and the
• reatiou of the Regional reserve banks.
Two thoughts in relation ; lereto have
been of paramount interest—the first
being as- te whether it would be ad
vantageous to our banks and trust com
panies to lie associated as members of
this system and the other as to their
legal riglvts. under the laws of Penn
sylvania. to become members if ad
vantages to their-respective corpora
tions would thereby result.
As to Legislative Recommendations
"In the last annual report of our
department mention was made of the
fa i that there might be some reason
to make recommendations to the Leg
islature in this regard. The Regional
banks have opened aud have been run
ning along for three months but there
does not appear to be any desire, so
far as we are advised, by any insti
tution chartered by this Commonwealth,
to join this system. It is our conclu
sion, after careful observation, that
the officers and directors who may have
tken thi< matter into consideration
have finally decided that any advan
tages offered by the new Federal act
are more than offset by the privileges
whin the State banks now enjoy by
tiieir State charters. In fact, from
information received, there appears to
have been but one State batik which
made application for membership and
this has recently been withdrawn. There
is nothing, therefore, for the depart
ment to consider or advise upon or to
refer to the Attorney General for a
legal opinion as to the right of a bank
or trust company in this State to ac
vept membership in this national sys
tem.
"Although not members of the Reg
ional banks our State institutions can
not be denied the benefits, which it is
believ ed will accrue therefrom, the first
of which is conceded by all bankers
to be an elastic currency in case of a
general panic. There cannot, as we un
derstand practical affairs, be any
chanrge in the method of collections.
The reserve system in this State will'
continue as heretofore, the act of 1907,
regarding the method of selecting re
serve depositories, will be adhered to
and the approval of the Commissioner
0-' Banking must be obtained in the
Mine manner as hitherto. anU this ap
proval. while not arbitrarily exercised,
is absolute. National banks are con
stantly looking for the accounts of
State banks and trust companies, and
having once received them, these clients
must be accorded the same uniform
eood service as is rendered to others.
' pon the safety and adequacy of the
reserve agent the responsibility rests
with the department.
Trust Companies Increasing
"Trust companies, which do not. pur
chase commercial paper or loan without
collateral, could not hypothecate their
ao-urities for loans under the national
law with regional banks brut thev can
continue as heretofore with their local
reserve banks and be accommodated.
Hence, so far there is no change in the
cash reserve method in this State.
"This report ?»hows as increase in
the number of trust companies and a
larger increase in the number of binks 1
and the indications are. from the num
ber of pending applications, that the
number for the ensuing year will be
still further increased.
"It is made the duty of this depart
ment to recommend in its annual report
•such legislation as may be adopted for
the security of depositors, whose
money it is our duty to safeguard.
1-Vom -our exjierie.nce restrictions uipon i

the recent act of Congress, there would
be restrictions by which the privileges
now enjoyed would cease. State banks,
like national banks, have, a double li
ability; title and trust companies have
no such double liability; there is no
limit to the extent upon which title
and trust companies may become surety
and the only reason for the fact of its
decreases is because of past experience
of it* danger and the constant aversion
of this department to its continuance.
Conservative Management
"There is no restriction in the
amount or extent of a loan which can
be made to an individual either with
or without collateral, except the bor
rower be a director. I'nder the general
corporate laws of the Slate there has
been an alarming liability in the priv
ilege of purchasing investments. It is
oniv when great failure occur, which
upset financial, political and social con
ditions, that there is a rush to make
improved methods."
I'nder the supervision of the depart
ment there are now 175 banks of dis
count. 29M trust companies and 11 sav
ing institutions. :< .1 of vviiioh were sub
ject to exam ina it on by the department
examiners, and the expenses of the de
partment were about met by the fees.
Of the conservative management of the
State's banking institutions, Commis
sioner Smith says:
"The year embraced by the statis
tics of this re}>ort passed into history
as one of the mo?-1 tense anxiety to our
financial institutions since the incep
tion of the national bank laws fifty
years ago. The depreciation iu values
for the. previous six or seven years it
i* believed found its law water mark
in 1914. Conservative management
had been in the main prevalent and in
many cases the public has been ap
prised of the voluntary and heroic ac
tion of institutions which reduced their
showing of profits in accordance with
the market value of liquid assets. That
there have been no failures in conse
quence is gratifying to report."

UHASTIA SH.HTS AT AYEZZAXO
IN SEARCHING RUINS FOR DEAD
Avezzano, Italy, Jan. 15. Rescue
work in this devastated town is be
coming a ghastly and nerve racking
task. The mutilated bodies of the
townspeople extricated from the ruins
are being laid along the road which
once led to the railway station. Some
of the bodies are so unrecognizable
that they frequently are claimed as
bodies of relatives by different people.
During the night the work of rescue
was continued by torchlight and the
dickering shadows made it appear as
though the walls were about to fall.
Some did collapse either as a result of
the earthshocks still occurring or be
cause the debrist supporting them was
removed bv the workmen.
As the work of res.'ue goes on it be
comes more and more apparent that
many of the inhabitants did not die ol
injuries sustained in the earthquake
but as a result of becoming exhausted
and frozen during the long hours of the
winter night.

her clothing for many hours from an

SURVIVORS OF HORROR TELL
ABOUT SCENES AT AVEZZANO
Rome. Jan. 15.—Some of the sur
vivors at Avezznno have not even yet
sufficiently recovered from the shoes
of their experiences to tell a connected
storv of the visitation. One man who
vvivi taken yesterday from a ruin said:
"1 had a sensation as though some one
was torcing me to dance. Then I was
thrown to the ground and the roof aud
walls fell upon my head. Kven after I
was half buried the earth seemed to
heave and grow hot."
A priest was saying mass in a church
when he felt the first sho.k. Ho
ru-.ied under an arch of the building
aud this saved his life. The shocks
destroyed the aqueduct system of
Avc'/.nno, and there is to-dav no water
in the town. It is reported that a
statue of the Virgin, fortv feet high,
which stood on the shore of Uike Fuci
no, has been thrown into the water.
There is considerable danger that the
drained land in this vieinitv will be
flooded.
A 16-vear old boy was the first per
son to give the news of Avezzano to
the outside world. 11c succeeded in net
ting back into the town a few mo
ments after the first shock. He found
a railroad employe and persuaded this
man, with his help, to rig up a tele
graph instrument in a freight car and
connect it with a wire that was still
intact. On the instrument the railroad
man who is an operator, soon got Rome
rhe two together then sent the tirst
news of the disaster.

If Your Back Is Aching or Bladder
Bothers, Drink Lots of Watar

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by Mushing them
with a mild, harmless snlts which re
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ
ity. The function of the klrneys is to
filter the blood. In 24 hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Prink lots of water—you can't drink
too much: also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning for a
few days and your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made, from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with iitliia, and lias been
used for generations to clean and stim
ulate clogged kidneys; also to neu

thoir meals for h while and note re
suits. Here is n good test worth trying.
First weigh yourself mid mon ill re your
self. Then take Sargol—one tablet,
with every meal for two weeks. Then
weigh ttml measure again. It isn't a
question of how you look or feel or
what your friends say and think. The
scales and the tape measure will tell
their own story, and most any thin man
or woman ean easily add from five to
eight pounds hi the Hint fourteen days
by following this simple direction. And
best of all, the new tlesh sta\s put.
Sargol does not of itself make fat.
but mixing with vour food, it turns the
tats, sugars ami starches of what you
have eaten, into rich, ripe fnt producing
nourishment for the tissues and blood -
prepares it in an easily assimilated
form which the blood can readily ac
cept. All this nourishment now passes
from \ our body as waste. Hut Hargol
stops the waste and does it quickly and
makes the tat producing contents of
the very same meals you are eating now
develop pounds and pounds of healthv
flesh between your skin and bones. Stir
gol is safe, pleasant, efficient and in
expensive. 0. A. Coigns and other
