to the charge, of carrying thirty-five per cent reserve but we emphatically deny that we are guilty of carrying any greater reserve than is necessary to protect our depositors. We fully agree with the departmnet that It is absolutely wrong for any bank to deny cash to legitimate business in order to hoard the reserve. We, however, have refused no loans to anyone worthy of credit and have bought good commercial paper even since the outbreak of the war. And, as a general rule, the statement of your department may. be correct but we believe that a close analysis of the affairs of each bank will disclose the fact that the conditions under which that bank operates should determine the amount of reserve which it holds. Some banks face different conditions than others. For instance, one bank may have some large depositors who require large sums of cash in the transaction of their business and may have made deposits with the understanding that this cash would be on hand any time that it was called for. This happens to be our case. Another bank may have all small depositors and none who require large amounts of cash on demand. "The banks of Richmond, for a great many years, have had the policy of carrying a sufficient reserve to protect their depositors at all times and for this reason during the panic of 1907 the banks in this locality passed through that crisis with as little difficulty as any of the banks in the country. Depositors were not restricted in withdrawals, and currency, not clearing house certificates, was in all cases paid. We think that if you will make an investigation of the individual requirements of the banks, you will find that the Second National Bank has done no more than would safeguard its depositors at all times. "Very respectfully, "W.jC. SEEKER, "Cashier." Reserve 35 Per Cent. Under the recent call of the treasury department the Second National Bank showed a reserve of 35 per cent. The two other Indiana banks named by Secretary McAdoo and the reserves they held at the time of the call follow: First National Bank, Mays, 58 per cent. Peoples National Bank, Rushville, 37 per cent. Although Secretary McAdoo claims he has the names of other Indiana banks which he thinks are carrying too high reserves he did not give them any publicity, stating he believes he can force the other offenders against his ideas of what constitutes proper safeguarding of depositors' interests to reduce their reserves by the publicity given the three he singled out. Secretary McAdoo does not want the national banks to carry reserves in excess of the legal minimum requirement of 15 per cent. Richmond bankers have never carried so low a reserve as 15 per cent even though they are allowed to do so by law. As a ru'e the reserves of banks here have been around 25 per cent, the local bankers feeling that this figure is a safer one than that proposed by the secretary of the treasury. Adhere to Standard. The two other national banks showed their adherence to this Richmond standard at the last call of the secretary of the treasury as both the First National and the Union National bad reserves of over 29 per cent. This figure is in excess of the reserves of several Ohio national banks which were also criticized by Secretary McAdoo in his statement. R. G. Leeds, a depositor at the Second National Bank said today: "The criticism of the secretary of the treasury is really a very good advertisement for the Second National. His statement calls attention to the fact ! that this bank now as in 1907 is in a position to properly safeguard the interests of its depositors. "In 1907, as eveyone remembers, when most of the banks of the country were limiting illegally the amount depositors could withdraw and were paying them off in this manner in illegal money, clearing house certificates, the banks of Richmond, thanks to their foresight In providing adequate reserves for their deposit, were not restricting withdrawals and were paying all demands in legal currency or cash. "It was this action of our banks that suggested the motto that was later adopted for the city of Richmond, 'The Panic Proof City.' "The secretary of treasury believes

that the minimum reserve required under the banking law, 15 per cent. Is sufficient and that no bank should hold more than this. "It is significant that the great banks of New York, which were practicing this theory in 1907 In order to provide more money for the large speculators of Wall Street, were the first during the financial troubles of last year to limit withdrawals and were the originators of clearing house certificates. "Secretary McAdoo, a New Yorker, I greatly fear looks at our financial system too much from the New York viewpoint. And in that respect, as the results of past experience show, he Is just about as unsafe in his financial judgment as was his illustrious fellow cabinet member, William Jennings Bryan, on the question as to what constituted a safe standard of value for our currency."

SELLERS ASKS (Continued from Page One.) the committee that Richmond is now in the third class of fire insurance for the business district and the first class of residential fire insurance. The only cities in Indiana in the second class are Indianapolis and Terre Haute. They could name no cities in the United States which are in the first class. Three ordinances were left with Mayor Robbins to be presented to council. If these are passed by council and three men are added to the fire department, Richmond will be placed in Class 2 of fire insurance classification. Mr. Sellers stated, however, that if Richmond intended to fill the other qualification within a reasonable length of time by placing wires underground and buying the truck. Richmond can be placed in the second class and thus secure the lowest rate offered any Indiana cities. Asks Three Ordinances. The ordinances which Mr. Sellers wants passed, provide for a better means of caring for explosives; for a closer inspection of buildings by the fire department, and for the training of the police to assist in fire fighting. Mr. Sellers said he understood that all were partially carried out bu that such ordinances should be passed. The city should be in such a condition that the fire department can respond instantly to every alarm and find the heart of the fire without a second's delay. Mr. Sellers said. "It used to be a question of fighting fire in its lnsipiency,' he said. "Now it is a matter of fighting it before it gets started." When the matter of the aerial fire truck came up, the city officials objected and declared that the need was not as great as represented by the members of the bureau. Mr. Sellers then said an aerial truck in its strictest meaning would not be demanded, but an aerial ladder motor true of the kind the city had under consideration, 'vould pass specifications. Make No Promises. The administration representatives could not promise to purchase such a truck and add seven men. but they promised to economize at every turn in order to do it next year.

to the standard, Richmond sheuM add nineteen firemen but that the bureau would accept three Immediately and seven additional to man the track If It is purchased.- The present ladder wagon would be retained for emergencies. The bureau will not. act until the fire insurance committee from here notifies It as to the action on Mr. Sellers' recommendations. The city can get Into Class 2ft without expense Immediately, while to enter the second class would require large expenditures. It will cost about $1,000 to make new rate books for the city whan the change Is made. Mr. Sellers said. Every building must be inspected. For that reason the bureau objects to making two changes.
