Bankers Body Sees Less Politics
in Banking Departments With
Better Facilities in the Hands
of the Responsible Officials.
A survojr of state banking depart-
ments by the State Bank Division,
American Bankers Association, dis-
closes a distinct tendency the past five
years to take bank supervision uut of
politic*, to increase the discretionary
powers of bank commissioners, to
lengthen their terms of offlcS, to sup-
ply then with adequate forces of
qualified examiners and to relieve
banking departments of duties foreign
to banking, says a recent statement
issued by the association.
"Wo have consistently urged that
the office of bank commissioner be a
free (rem partisan politics as the ju-
diciary Itself and that It be divorced
from all other functions of state gov-
ernment," the statement say«. "Fur-
ther, that his term of office be made
more secure and lasting, with sulll
cient salary anc. power granted to at
tract and retain the service! of men
of outstanding executive ability, cour-
age, resourcefulness and successful
banking experience.
"Firs years ago the Qrst survey ot
state banking departments by the divi-
sion demonstrated the need for Im-
provements. On the basis ot data
now la hand It la evident that, through
the revision of statutes In many states,
rapid steps are being taken Id tbe
right direction. One by one the states
are coming to recognise the primary
Imiiertance ot strong, competent bank-
ing departments. The demand for In-
creasing the effectiveness of banking
departments Is beginning to be mat."
How Bank Commissioners Are Chosen
The office of bank commissioner is
now operated as an Independent de-
partment of state government In thir-
ty-tour states, the bankers flrd. In
two states the bank commissioner Is
elected at general elections; In one be
IS appointed from eligible lists of tbe
civil service and In anothe. he la se-
lected by tbe banks. In one state the
bankers' association elects a list of
five names from which the governor
appoluta one as superintendent of
bank*; In another he Is appointed by
the State Corporation Commission and
In another by the State Banking
B< iH).
'Terms ot office ot bank commis-
sioners hare been lengtbened la sev-
eral states during the last five years,"
tbe report says. "In IS states tbe
term Is four years. In one, Qve years,
and in three it Is six years and in
some the lerm Is Indefinite. A short
term Is condemned on tbe grounds
that tbe commissioner has Insufficient
time to become thoroughly conversant
with his field work. A longer term
permits bis rendering useful service
through capitalising his experience.
Five years ago the average length of
service waa less than three years,
while now It has risen to five years.
Hlghsr Standards Required
"Signs of an awakening to the ne-
cessity ot making successful banking
experience a qualification tor bank
commissioner are evident. While elev-
en states report no banking experi-
ence necessary, the majority require
experience of this sort, ranging from
two to five years. Twelve states now
have banking boards, with powers
ranging from acting In an advisory
capacity to full power over all state
banks to Issue and reject charters.
"A healthy sign Is the number of
reports which disclose that the com-
missioners have full power to appoint
bank examiners or that these appoint-
ments are made from civil service
lists. This power Is now granted to
the commissioner by twenty-seven
states. Three require that selection
be from civil service lists. Complaints
are still made In a few states ot po-
litical prossure In the appointment of
examiners, but the contrary seems to
be true In a growing number of states.
The most capable commissioner csn-
not successfully perform his duties
unless be Is able to command tbe
services ot efficient, honeBt examiners.
Tbe safety of depositors Is dependent
on their work, and their appointment,
fitness and compensation are highly
Important. The number of examiners
baa Increased 2E per cent In the last
Ave years."
