...National banks have almost the same legal rights as individuals, but they cannot act as trustees, purchase corporation stocks, make loans on real estate, or purchase real estate for others. They can be formed very easily, and are required to deposit certain sums with the government. The Comptroller's duty is to supervise them.

The majority of even those in favor of the new plan recognize that the old Council is now defunct. Next, how can the defunct Council, or supposing for the moment that it still exists, how can its very nominating committee sit down and proceed entirely to revamp its constitution when provision for legally carrying...
