AND EXCESS LOANS
Bank Officials Largely to Blame
When Failure Stares Them
In the Face.
IF LAW IS STRICTLY FOLLOWED
THERE'S NO DANGER OF FAILURE.

>t. Louis o< t. 20.—Hon William
barrel t Kidgely, comptroller of the
turremy, delivered an address Wed
r.sdav, before ihe Illinois; State Hank
er. ’ association in the Illinois building
di the World’s fair on Hank Exam
inations and Failures. ’ His address in
part follows.
No national hank whose officers
‘ttictly obeyed the national hank act
i v> r failed, not one. It. may almost l>e
«tid that not one which did not make
■ •ans in excess of the ten per rout,
mit ha* ever failed. The practically
..uiversal rule is that a!i failures ate
; :e to excess loans to one interest nr
pro up of interests generally owned or
controlled hy the officers of the bank
self. 1 believe the limit on loans is
the most useful and valuable of all the
:»strictions of the bank act. I am in
< lined to agree with the views of most
•f my predecessors in office who hav<
n (ommended that, the ten tier cent
mit be extended to cover surplus a
■ ell as capital, but 1 should rather sc*
m change than have this provision
made too liberal.
• hese statements may suggest tin
.i.i» s(ion: 1! absolute >afety lies in tbi•
enforcement of this clause of the law.
"by is it not strictly ami absolutely
enforced by the comptroller’s office'.
' tie most serious bandit.ip is the fa< !
of any modi rate penal y • ul’ot. ihie by
the comptroller. The on! penalty
provided hy the bank a< ' for a viola
tion of this provision is a - t by th"
comptroller for a forfeiture of the
tanks ( barter. In -lo years tto cornp
trolier has ever felt. Justified in invok
ing tlii- severe retribution for such
\ iolatioi, ; H:- ha\e occurred. Examin
ers ha\ the most positive instructions
t) report to th** comptroller
* very excess loan they find. It is prob
able that all are not discovered or even
suspected, ln.it most of them are soon
er or later found ami reported, how
ever skillfully concealed.
XX it t1 a bank failure occures there
s frequently severe lo • il criticism and
feeling against the bank examiner, and
sometimes the comptroller’s office. It
is, perhaps, claiming too much to say
’hie is never justified, but from the
records ot the office end my own ex
periem- 1 believe the cases in which
the e\ tin u*t is mm h it* blame are
rare."
