(continueclnirovrn page 1) The Funeral` I _ Moving slowly over streets bathed .m the warm sunshine of a mid-sun - met day, and between aisles of cit- jzens who stood in reverent silence, the little body of Clifford Norris Beelby, the boy who offered his own life that another might live, was car- ried to its last resting-place in Re- .:_;ina Cemetery, Thursday afternoon,| July 12. Boys who had played with Norris -~--the name by` which he was known m his friends and parents---carried the ower-heaped casket from the Salvation Army Citadel, Broad St., where the funeral service was con- ducted, to` a waiting automobile. Later they bore it from the funeral :18!` to the graveside. Following the` "body were the parents, carried to the; ;:,'rave in automobiles offered by Re-I gina citizens who desired to Show in` mnie measure their tribute to the heroic boy.

The reduction has been;* mainly due to amalgamations; From 1900: to 1910 a number of small banks were absorbed andthe public mind became some- what dieturberl so that when the Bank Act wasrevised in 1913 it contained a provision A that. no .-such amulgamations could be made; without the consent of the Minister. of Fin- a.nce._ Since that time the Minister has` interxened only once to prevent a merger.

Existing competition had been removed and prospective competi- tion obviut:-d.` Banking history shows that each bank has felt itself"under the neces- sity of expansion. The result was that be- fore the amalgamation took place there were in one town five banks where. two could have handled the business efficiently; in another three where one would have suf- ficed. This system, seen all over the Do- minion. invdlved a shocking economic waste. the burden of which had to come out of banking profits.

As to `depositors they naturally benefit so far as safety is concerned by whatever streiigtheiis the position of the shareholders. Competition has not improved the rate of interest, nor is there any indication in the bank s moments that a higher rate is possible "under-`present conditions.

The main interests of the largest part of the community in banks is that they have stability, said Mr. Murray in conclusion, and stability has no_ relation to number.
