Strana 18 - The Secretary of the Treasury and the Comptroller of the Currency shall be ineligible during the time they are in office and for two years thereafter to hold any office, position, or employment in any member bank.
Strana 35 - ... and we concur with the court below in holding that the value of the property is to be determined as of the time when the inquiry is made regarding the rates.

Strana 35 - The property is held in private ownership and it is that property, and not the original cost of It, of which the owner may not be deprived without due process of law. But still it is property employed in a public calling, subject to governmental regulation and while under the guise of such regulation it may not be confiscated, it is equally true that there is attached to Its use the condition that charges to the public shall not be unreasonable.
