Uncertainty of the Clearing House

EOR one thing-and a most important feature it is
they do not guarantee the deposits of their
members Zach bank rests entirely upon its own re-
sources. What the clearing house will do cannot be
known until the clearing house acts 1t may decide
that the bank in trouble is not worth saving and
let 1t go to the wall There is therefore, nothing to
feassure the deposltors-nothingt to ward off a run

would be something decidedly reassuring in the
knowledge that the bank was a member of such a
guaranty association as the suggested

The mere knowledge that the depostors are
guaranteed by the central organization would pre-

failures, and there would be fewer losses to meet
There would be further protection in the fact that
the central association, having money at stake
would exercise much closer supervision over IT'S
members than result from any State or national
bank examining system. The association would
have its own examiners, and the fact that the

The clearing house does not give these advan-

and has direct financial interest in the affairs
OF anyone of them. 1t usually learns of the situation
only when trouble comes. and II then decides what
action to take. There is nothing in the general
purpose OF its existence TO inspire the depositor
with confidence. OF course, every bank failure is

Our New Dog Law.

1t is not what We had understood
it to be by any means. In addi-
tion to permitting any owner of a
dog to have the same listed and
assessed as personal property, in
order that his dog may be protect
ed, which is all right. it provides a
per capita tax of one dollar per
head on male and three dollars per
head on all female dogs. Inas.
much as most persons will desire
to have their dog listed and assess-
ed as personal property, in order
that they be entitled to protection
as property, this per capita tax
makes double taxation on dogs and
will be burdensome to many poor
people. The per capita tax was
unfair and unnecessary. Then,
another defect. as We see 1t, 10 the
failure to pro1ide specifically how
money can be collected from this
dog tax fund by persons, for sheep
that have been killed by dogs.
The act provides that this fund
shall be kept by the sheriff to re-
imburse those who lose sheep by
dogs, but only provides by impli.
cation for their reimbursement.
The act, to say the least, is i'm.
perfectly constructed, .crudely
drawn and ambiguous in several
instances. beside having the fea.
ture of double taxation referred to.
