some BANKERS OPPOSE IT
Oklahoma has Adopted the Project
and There is a Demand for a
Similar Law in Kansas.

Some.of the best known bankers in
Kansas City are decidedly opposed to
the plan that has been adopted in
Oklahoma and which is proposed for
Kansas providing for guaranteeing
the deposits in the banks,
The Oklahoma law authorizes an as
sessment on all state banks equal to /
per cent Of their average deposits, to
create fund from which the depos-
itors from any suspended bank may be
paid in full. The assest of the bank
which fails are to be liquidated by the
state banking board and the proceeds,
or so much as necessary, are to be put
in the guarantee fund to make up as
far as possible for the sums paid out
of that fund to the depositors. The
board has authority to assess all Of Che
banks whenever necessary to alAin-
tain this guarantee fund.
The state assumes no responsibility
in the matter except to collect and
disburss the guarantee fund and have
strict supervision over all the banks
under its jurisdiction.
TLs benefits expected from this
plan are That it will prevent runs on
the banks and will attract money into
the banks that are now boarding,
The objections Of the plan are that
it taxes the strong and well managed
banks for the benefit Of the weak and
poorly or dishonesty managed banks.
It is contended also that it viii stimu-
late such active competition for de-
posits that the more reckless bankers
will offer inducements to customers
that conservative bankers will not
give, resulting in unsafe methods
and practices on the part of many
bankers.
The Oklahoma law provides that
any national bank in the state may
voluntarily avail itself Of the terms Of
the law as applied compulsory to the
state banks.
Governor Hoch has been asked to
call a special session. Of the Kansas
to pass a bill providing for
guaranteeing deposits in Kansas
banks.

day the situation will have reached
Uhe normal.

ready to give warm reception for
any assaylants.
Exaggerated rumors. Of all kinds are
being circulated about and they al
add to the disquieting situation.
Yesterday afternoon five negroes,
heavily armed with pistols, winches-
ters md knives, were arrested by
Sheriff Robertson and taken to Ok
mulgee. A
While In the midst of d telephone
conversation with Muskogee persons,
ten O'Clock last night the man on the
Henryetta end OF the line suddenly
exclaimed, "HoId onl Hold on! Theirs

SUING FOR DAMAGES.

Frank Knetter has commenced an
action against Kasimer Lemanski to col
lect 81 900 damages for libel. Both are
Poles residing in the town of Cassel.
For some time, it appears, there has
been two opposing factions in the Polish
Catholic church in that town. On the
night of June Is, last, some one set fire
to the church and it was badly damaged
before the flames were subdued. Eight
days later, Knetter and Lemanski met
at the saloon of Mike Bloczinski in
Edgar and got into quarrel. When
the words which passed between them
were of sizzling character, Lemanski
is alleged to have made the remark, in
the presence of four witnesses: "Ty
jestis ten chop co ten kosciol zapalil."
1t is this statement on which 81, 600
hinges. The reader perhaps does not
know its meaning and for his benefit
we will give the correct translation,
which is as follows: You are the man
who set fire to that church" Because
the defendant sought to injure him as
he believes, and cause it to appear that
he was guilty of arson, Knetter has
brought suit and the case will come up
at the next term of court, unless set
Element is effected in the meantime,
but those familiar with the parties say
that there can be no settlement, for both
are determined to fight to the end.

HANDSOME CALENDARS.

Two very handsome calendars have
been issued the past week. That issued
by the National German American
bank is large, 26x40 inches. 1t has a
very handsome picture above the calen-
dar and the calendar itself is so large
that the figures can easily be seen thirty
or forty feet away.
The First National bank has also
gotten out one 25x2S, which is
in three sections. The front section
contains pictures of all the presi-
dents of the United States. A picture
showing the signing of the declaration
of Independence; the Declaration
printed in full and handsome cal
ender. The second section is map OF
Wisconsin and Oh the reverse side is an
alphabetical list of the towns and cities
of Wisconsin and population. The
third section is map of the United
States and u history of the Panama
canal. On the reverse side is much
valuable information in reference to
postal laws, etc.
Both banks were besieged yesterday
and today for copies of these calendars,
and many were given out.

FOR THE COMMON GOOD.
Cooperation of City Business Men
and Farmers Proving of Great
alue-Results of the First
Important Practical
Test.

History will record the fact that the
first successful instance of farmers and
city business men working together for
their mutual benefit was inaugurated
in the rooms of the Business Mems
association of Battle Creek, Mich,
early in the year 1906. 1t is now nearly
two years since the plan was put into
working order, and it has even exceed
ed the fondest expectations of those
interested in the consolidation.
The Business Mems association has
elegant club rooms located on the fifth
floor of the finest block in the city.
These rooms are open to the farmers at
all times, where they may confer with
one another or with the officers of the
association. There are several rooms,
occupying the entire floor of the large
block, all finished and furnished at a
cost of several thousand dollars. There
are scores of easy chairs, sofas, touches.
ETC., aud tables where the farmers may
read and write. and sometimes whole
families bring their lunches into these
rooms to eat while waiting and resting.
In fact, these rooms have been made
famous all over the country because Of
their being the starting place of ICON
solidation" wherein the farmers are
greatly interested. 1t would please the
readers of The Tribune Farmer to step
into these rooms and watch some OF our
farmers and the city merchants con-
ferring together over the raising of
money to improve bad piece of road.
This road might be several miles from
the city limits, and yet its Improvement
would facilitate the bringing of farm
produce into town, no matter how bad
the weather conditions.
There is long road south of the city
that makes the worst up-and-down-h
five-mile drive have seen in long
time It runs south and east on right
angle, having three and two miles each
way, respectively. A railroad runs
across, forming the hypothenuse of tie
triangle.
The land along the railroad is some
what level over large portion of the
distance, and the farmers conceived the
idea of building new highway along
the railroad for about one and three
quarter miles, thus cutting off eight or
nine very long and bad hills of sand
over the old road The farmers went
to the officers of the city association
and the merchants and manufacturers
willingly agreed to help build the new
road.
A survey was made and the work
started, and it is the first new road ever
constructed in Michigan for such a
purpose, and by the city men and
farmers working together.
A bad hill was being cut down TO fill
in swampy place alongside the rail-
road. 1t looked like tedious and
costly job at first, and some of the
farmers were discouraged. But the
city men kept up tLir courage and
continued to subscribe TO the fund.
And so the work went on.-Tribrne
Farmer
