Vol. 11 No. 18
C SBS President Says:

States Are Better at Banking Reform
I N H IS President’s Page message
_ in a recent issue of The Super­
visor, Michael D. Edwards, presi­
dent of the Conference of State Bank
Supervisors and supervisor of banks
in the State of Washington, makes
some interesting points.
F ir s t,
he
quotes Dr. Car­
ter Golembe, a
very knowledge­
able, astute ob­
server of the
banking scene
for the past two
decades, refer­
ring to a recent
address by Dr.
G o lem b e
in
M.D.EDWARDS
which the point wasmade that
McFadden and Glass-Steagall Acts
“will still be on the books 100 years
from now, but the regulators will
have cut the hearts out of them.”
Dr. Golembe traces this subtle
emasculation to gradualchanges
made by federal regulators since the
late 1950s, laying the groundwork
for continuing regulatory changes
that will eventually by-pass those
two Acts.
Mr. Edwards then states, “Dr.
Golembe, however, misses one ma­
jor point in his provocative address.
Where he sees the federal regulators
as the primary focus of change, the

record shows that it has been the
states which have led the way. The
facts are clear. The states have ac­
cepted the challenge of change, even
where the federal government—in­
cluding regulators—have not.” He
credits some federal regulators with
fostering change, but points to
DIDC as anything but a hot bed of
reform.
Mr. Edwards states further, “The
dynamic interaction between states,
and within states between various
industries, is leading us to reform of
the system far more rapidly than
Congressional action—or inaction—
might suggest possible. Why is this
occurring? And why is this, in my
view, the best approach? I offer
three points to consider:
“ 1. The states are more flexible
and can move a great deal faster. We
are bound, as is the national legis­
lature, to consider the needs and
desires of all our constituencies, but
on the state level these are more
homogeneous, smaller, easier to
bring together for a common pur­
pose. Moreover the layers of bur­
eaucracy, which constitute the fed­
eral government and Congress alike,
are fewer at the state level. We can,
in emergency, move from concept to
legislation with great speed—wit­
ness the recent eight-day period in
which Minnesota moved from idea

to legislation, permitting the merger
of that state’s failing savings bank
under new authority.
“ 2. The states can and do pay at­
tention to local needs, local desires,
local economies. We can and do
handcraft systems which fit our
local patterns of life, our local
capabilities. The needs of Maine dif­
fer from my home state of Washing­
to n ...L e g is la tio n developed in
Washington, D.C., on the other
hand, must fit all states within the
same Procrustian bed—often to the
discomfort of all of us.
“ 3. The states provide what I call
the ‘laboratory principle.’ That is, a
new concept, a new idea, can be test­
ed in one or more states, then if it is
good, it proliferates around the
country. Congressional action—even
is they consider it a ‘laboratory
te st’—usually applies to everyone.
Thus, the bad idea captures every­
one, whereas with state action only
our citizens suffer.
“What I would urge is a national
recognition of the massive role the
states can play in revitalization of
the financial services structure, and
our willingness to act, demonstrated
in state after state. Eliminate fed­
eral interference—on both the regu­
latory and legislative sides...
“Dr. Golembe is right when he
says action is coming regardless of
the current shape of national law.
But the vehicle for change is in place
right now—the states. What we
