The Humphreys Resolution.

The resolution Of Senator Humphreys,
introduced into the Senate Wednesday,
calling for an investigation relative to
the amount of the states money in each
of the states repositories, is a timely one
and should be adopted without hesitation
or delay If more state money is de-
posted in any one bank than the law al
lows, or more than is amply secured, the
legislature should know it. and should at
once take steps to have the deposits SO
distributed and secured as to remove, to
as great an extent as possible, the danger
Of losing any part OF them. II seems
that there are three banks each of
which have very large amount Of the
states money. According to the
reports, the bond of no one of
against loss. If these reports are correct
the interests of the state are not as care
fully guarded as they should be. AL
though the banks may be fully able to
meet any demand that is likely to be
made upon them, still, there ought to be
some rule which would prevent the TAX
ing of any unnecessary risk.
Senator Person has a bill pending that
provides that no one of the state deposit
tories shall have more than $4,000 of the
states money on hand at any one time.
The bill is good one, and it is difficult
to see that any reasonable objection can
be made to it,
The law requires that the banks hav-
ing the deposits shall pay inter
est on them. The state gener-
ally has on hand a large sum of money to
meet its current expenses. 1t is so large
that the banks having the deposits are
able to do great deal more business than
they would if deprived of them. Do they
pay interest on the deposits2 If not, why
is it they do not! There is no good reason
why they should have the use of the
states money without compensating the
state, and there is no reason why one
bank should be favored with the deposits
rather than another.
