Cashier Wins Argument
Beaver Springs, Pa., Miar. 28.?J. F.
Snook, cashier of the Beaver Springs
bank, sat for two hours -last night
looking into a bandit's pistol, arguing
that an attempt to take money
from the bank's- vault could/ not succeed.
t
He won the argument.
After two hours, the Ibandit was
convinced that an alarm would ring
even if he forced Snook to open the
vault, and So he took $4.25 from the
cashier instead, and leift.
Income tax collections for the first
nine months off the current fiscal
year dropped off $306,000,000 as compared
with the same period of last
year.
The NQTth Carolina supreme court
on Wednesday rendered a decision re-,
versing the Alamance county court
verdict which gave to W..W. JEller a
damage verdict for $8,000 against the
Southern railway in a fp-ade crossing
accident. The court held that Eller

DUAL BANK SYSTEM
FAVORED BY BANKER
Stat# ?nd National Institutions
Supplement Each Other in
Strvlni Country's Varied
Financial Needs
i i i i i m i t
RECENT suggestions that alt banks
la the United States be under Fearal
Jurisdiction, dplng away with the
chartering of bantu by the various
states recalls the opposition to this
ylan presoated at the recent convention
of tho American Bunkers Association
by R. S. Hecht of New Orleans.
Chairman of Its Economic policy Commission.
Mr. Hecht eald:
"There are Just as good reasons why
there idiould be st?te as well as national
nunks, us that there should be
state as well us a national government.
I do not think that analogy Is farfetched.
The states should not surrender
ull political jurisdiction to tho
central government, and the local business
life of tho states should not ho
made to surrender. *1! Control over ]
financial functions to national financial
Instrumentalities. There are many variations
of business conditions from
state to state and there are special
fiscal requirements of the various
states.
"It Is entirely logical, therefore, that
the statea should retain the right to
charter banks so as to mold and direct
their affairs In accordance with the
states' goverument^and business requirements
aud.ke^them adapted to
localised sentiment and conditions.
"The argument is sometimes advanced
that the dual system Jeopardizes
the life of the Federal Reserve
System because under It there Is a
largo group of banks that are free to
remain out of or to withdraw from
the system. Facts and figures prove
that this is a specious argument.
"It is true that there has been some
shifting from natloual to state charters
especially In cases of mergers of
largo national banks with banks operating
under state charters. However,
the Federal Reserve System was not
weakened In this process because the
merged institutions almost universally
fotaiiitm their mouibtiiohiy iu the b/bterh
on a voluntary basis. Moreover,
the records show that state bank members
arq Justjra good members of the
system as naWonal banks and the ratio
of state bank resources In the Federal
Reserve System Is constantly growing,
lit 1922, national banks held about 65
per oent of the resources of reserve
members, and state banks about 35 per
dint, while la 1939, the nationals held
ealy 99 per sent aM state banks 40
per cent.
Banking Systems Help Bash Other
"BsetirossUr the state and national
banks systems hare helped each other.
If the national banking law has served
In some respects as something of a
model code toward which state banking
laws more and more have ap-'
proached year by year, so have the
state codes developed valuable reforms
which have suggested improvements
undesirable competitive inequalities
have been wiped out by this mutual
evolutionary process and further prog
ress along the line of uniformity so far
as is desirable Is anticipated.
"However, I do not believe that It Is
a disadvantage to have two banking
codes that .differ in some respects. It
la quite probable that the state bankRig
code in many instances represents
a closer adjustment to local .cfti&itifinjL.
uwa wum do una anuer tne national
banking laws, and this Is a situation
that should be retained. There should,
however^ not be competition between
! the two banking codes. Competition
[ should be between banks themselves
( and not between the laws under which
they operate. The effort to offer too
. great allurements in one code 1#
against the other,could lead only to
weak banking laws. But I do think
that there should be the alternative
opportunities that now exist which
|, batfklng Institutions and local business
interests may choose, so that they can
function or conduct their business relationships
under that banking obdc
which best meets the conditions odtfcc
times and of the place as they see thprr
"This has been illustrated In IjBtl
directions. In states where suchwEv
sound measures as the guarantee ot
deposits were operative state hanks
had the opportunity to eeoape the baleful
efTect of such laws. On tho othef
hand, when a court decision was
handed down In Worcester, Massachusetts,
which rendered uncertain the
position of trust assets acquired by a
national bank through a merger with
a state bank, it was a real advantage
for national banks affected.to take out
and operate under a state charter,
either on a temporary or a permanent
basis, as circumstances make expedient.
"In ray opinion, bankers, national as
well as state, should combat the
thought that conceives of depriving
us of the vitalizing benefits of our dual
system."

JE'VEL THEFTS SHOW
INCREASE IN YEAR
More Arrests end Convictions
Recorded / j
New York.?-There was an Increase
In the number of Jewelry thefts and
swindles during the tint nine months
?f this year over a corresponding
period of last year, according to the
Jewelers' Security alliance, but the '
extra losses suffered by jewelers were
more than offset by the additional
(lumber of orrests. couvlctlona, and recoveries
of stoleu goods. Convictions
have been obtained In 100 cases and a
large number, having occurred within
the hist two months, are still pending.
"Almost three-fourths of the tricked
firms are members of the alliance," the
report states, "warning Jewelers to
take precautions against robbery, snd
greater <&r? would have prevented
every one of those losses.
Be on Your Guard.
"A Joss means action by the alliance
a bunt .which may extend clear
across the country and may last for
months or oven years. A loss means
the payment by some Insurance company
of a sum of money. It raises
the total of crime losses for the year
lb our Industry und will perhaps result
In an increase In insurance rates
for next yenr or the years to come.
"Be on your guard. Don't trust
anyone you don't know (ntliuutely.
Don't let a single piece of jewelry out
of your sight for a momeut. Watch
your customers, especially strangers,
every minute they are in the store.
Count every item you display as soon
us you finish waiting on a person.
Honest people won't resent your cure
and ernoks will sec that you are alert
and won't try any tricks 011 you."
Carelessness in Displays.
The report points out thut ihe?in
creased number of thefts from unlocked
showcases indicates that many
losses to sneak thieves are due entirely
to Iuck of ordinary precautions
op the part of the jeweler. Additional
precautions are urged during
the holiday season near at hand. Carelessness
In merchandise displays ufter
closing hourtf leads to many losses
through window smashing Und this
form or loss can be greuiiy reduced
through the use of common sense und
proper protective meusures.
"We are 'everlustlngly at it' to prevent
robbery as far as possible and
to punish robbers when our members
are attacked." said II. C. Larter, president
of the Jewelers' Security alliance.
"Only about 5 per cent of o?r
members are robbed each year."
Alaskan Hunt Yields
Many Big Game Specimens
Seward, Alaska.?Packing a large
Renal moose head, the antlers of
which spread over Ave feet, and two '
specimens of mountain sheep In addl
tlon to other trophies, Robert F. I
Walsh, Philadelphia investment broker
and member of the Academy of
Natural Sciences and Philadelphia
Botanical society, has Just ended
an Alaskan hunting expedition that
furnished diversified experiences.??
During his six weeks In the wilds,
Walsh encountered more than 80 huge
northern moose, 53 black hears, a
number of brown hears and herds of
mountain sheep. He obtained specimens
of the moose and sheep, but said
the bears were so amusing he didn't
kill any of them.
In the moose lands of the peninsula
game was so plentiful that Walsh
u suiixl (A KUa. a m/ww |
He gathered a large number of
botanical specimens when fired of
hunting big game.
Home Ownership Crusade
Launched by Bankers
New York. ? Representatives of
banks and savings and loan associations
throughout the country are plannlog
a 1031 crusade for home ownership.
Their opinion, voiced through Collier's,
Is that there ndver was a better
time than right now to bnlld or buy a
home. They do wet mention straight
sales, as nearly all home owners borrow
to build and save to pay.
For most home builders it is a 10 to
15-year Job to complete the deal, the
bankers state, but the Joys and satisfaction
of home ownership last for_
ever. ^
"Home ownership conies near being
the keystone of American credit," it
is asserted. "The land Is Indestructible;
tHe loan Is the buyer's spur; the '
material makes the buyer the customer
of American industry. The e.\.
' perlence Is the best discipline to which
a family enn dedicate its energies."
