By JOHN H. PUELICHBR
American Bankers Association
B ANKING in its long career has been
compelled to withstand many seri
ous shocks, but it ran into the most
perplexing en
tanglement of Ha
whole history since
the general break
down of values In
1929. The commer-
clal structure of
the entire world
seemed to have
been shaken from
its foundations and
the marvel is that
the b a n k e r, with
everything break-
1 n g d o wn all
around him, was
able to come through as he has.
General business failures, agrlcul
tural stagnation, income losses, capi
tal losses, inabilities to meet debts
and therefore Inabilities of bankers to
pay back depositors when loans were
not paid, were the reasons, in most
instances, for the bank failures.
No profession, no department of life
is without its weaker elements, but
had proper consideration been given
to the relatively tew instances in bank
ing, had exaggerated and startling
headlines been kept in true proportion,
had banking not been used as a target
for political self-seeking and with vote
seeking motives, had unfounded nr
mors not been spread the people’s con
fidence might have been retained and
far less serious would have been their
financial losses, for many bank failures
were caused that need not have hap
pened.
There were factors In our banking
experience which every earnest banker
deplores—factors which many h*<
worked years to eliminate, which It
was fearfully recognized would sg
gravate any difflcult day* which might
arise. One of the worst of these was
due to political regulation which char
tered many banks that should never
hare been chartered.
That there have been Incompetence
and dishonesty in banking is admitted.
That the instances that did occur wers
used grossly to increase fear in the
public mind, we afflrm. We shall con-
Unne to strive for higher attainments
in our profession and strive for laws
that require competence and ability
In management. That we cannot leg
islate honesty and unselfishness Into
either s banker or a borrower must
be conceded, but diabooeety. wherever
found, should be punished. It U as
true la banking as elsewhere that no
matter how good the law. disboneet
and incompetent men can make It In-
effective. Good laws are essential. We
must etrive for ever better ones, but
their enforcement will come only as
the publk recognizee that it to a mat
ter not of laws or codes alone but of
the meo who administer them.
The Public's Part
Our people must be brought to real
ise that the welfare of our country de
pends upon Us banking system, that
the strength of the banking system de
pends upon the public's faith sod
understanding and the vast majority of
banks, because of faithful service ren
dered. even through the whole of this
general breakdown, bad the right to
ezpect the trust and confidence of the
people.
In every great catastrophe, no mat
ter wbat Us nature, no matter what Us
cause, someonff must be crucified. The
banker was ibis time selected. In the
late 90's, political agitation started a
tirade against the railroads. Some rail
roads may have don^ reprehensible
things, but the agitation became so
general and so violent as almost to
destroy one of the fundamental factors
In the progress of s country. Today
the same thing has been done to the
banker. In spite of all that has hap
pened. the fact remains that even most
of the banks which failed are paying
out infinitely better than are Invest
ments in almost anything else.
Bankers Aiding Agriculture
' State associations of bankers In
many agricultural states are giving
time and financial support to encour
age practices among their farmers that
will bring about better farm results.
The major activities reported from
one state to the Agricultural Commis
sion of the American Bankers Asso
ciation which is nationally active in
promoting this line of cooperation are
as follows:
1. Drought relief work: Local banks
have played a vital part In this work,
being represented on the county com
mittees for passing on all seed loans.
These committees met practically
every day during the spring to pass
on the loans in order to get as quick
action as possible. A total of 914 ap
plications were received and handled
by one committee, 833 being granted.
2. Four-H Club work: Bankers
helped stimulate 4-H Club work, financ
ing many members who otherwise
could not have enrolled. They also
helped finance fifteen 4-H Club dele
gates to the state club convention.
3. Livestock feeding: The banks co
operated with the Extension Service
in the state and the railroads In in
creasing the amount of livestock feed
ing. Assistance was given the feeders
ic seririi-j finances for their feeding
operations.
i 4. Crop Improvement: The bankers
took part in the crop standardization
program of the Extension Service and
encouraged the farmers to use pure
seed, and in many cases made loaaa
tor this purpose.

PRACTICE IN STATE AND FEDERAL OOURTS
How loterssting U would bo if a
telephon* switchboard could talk.
Wa would get a picture of the Inti
mate dally life of our community.
A signal appears
on th* switch
board. "Number
please” says the
operator, and
comes an excited
voice. “Operator,
please, quick I want 476 — Dr.
Brown.“ There’s a flash of quick
moving hands and “central'' has Dr.
Brown on the wire. Another signal,
and it’s Johnny Green calling Mary
Doe, and it’s likely those lines will
be busy for some time.
“Number pi east,” and this time
a stock buyer, to calling a distant
city about a earload of hogs. Then
It's Farmer Brown calling in a
hurry for the town veterinary. His
prize jersey cow to sick.
Then come a string of signals in
quick order. Several women are
calling friends to organize a church
social. In the midst of this flurry
a long distance call comes for
Mrs. Jackson. Her married . son,
a hundred miles away, Is calling to
give the news that “It’s a boy.’*
So on and on in never ending
succession the signals come in
while "central” sits at her post and
with deft hands and sympathetic
understanding weaves them togeth
er to foibn the fabric of the social
and business life of the community.
As some one so well expressed it,
“Central and her switchboard are
the nerve center of our
community’a ‘life.’ ’*
The telephone plays
a leading part in ev
ery phase, station and
activity of life. We
turn to it in emer
gencies. It is a means of banishing
loneliness, a comfort and protec
tion at all times. Probably that's
why people say the value of tele
phone service outweighs the small
cost. Ask for our free 64-page Illus
