During the campaign voters were
given to understand that the election
of Shallenberger and a Democratic
legislature would insure a state law
guaranteeing bank deposits. What is
known as the Oklahoma law was fire.
quently alluded to and explained as
follows: When . bank, for good and
sufficient reasons is compelled to close
its doors the state would at once take
charge, and as soon as the money from
the depository where the guarantee
fund was kept could be sent the de-
positors would be paid in full. A case
in Oklahoma was cited where the de-
positors received the amount due them
three days after the bank suspended
payment. Now, it lie stated, that the
contemplated guarantee law the Dem
ocratic Governor and Legislature of
Nebraska expect to pass, will not pro-
vide for the prompt payment of de.
positors in the event of . bank failure,
but that deferred payments" will be
made. The bank must first 60 into
the hands of q receiver who will pro-
coed to wind up its affairs and pay the
depositors, if there is anything left
after the winding up process shall have
been completed. This will take some
time, possibly q year or even much
longer. After the receiver has paid
out what money he realizes out of the
failure, the state will then dig into the
box where the guarantee fund is kept
and pay to the depositors the balance
Of their claim. No, depositon will
not be called up over the phone, the
day after . bank failure has been
announced, and informed that Cover.
nor Shallenberger has sent . man with
. suit case full of money to settle all
claims Immediately.

LET US PRAY!


The lumber barons demand that the
tariff on lumber shall be retained; the
cane and sugar beet growers are howl
ing against any change in the sugar
schedules; the wool growers are oppos-
ed to reducing the tariff on wool; the
New England manufacturers want
free raw material, but insist that the
duty on goods they turn out in their
factories shall not be lowered. And
now the zinc zone has been heard
from. Down in southeastern Kansas
and southwestern Missouri, where
thousands of men are hosting zinc to
the surface every day in the year,
Sundays included, the ministers Of
twenty-five mining towns on Thanks
giving day offered up special prayers
for q tariff on zinc ore. If the tariff
question is to be decided by prayer,
let the ministers and deacons of Ne.
braska get busy, and offer up suppli-
cations for free sugar, free lumber and
the retention of the present duties on
live stock, grain, poultry and butter
and eggs. Let prayers be offered up
for tariff duty on the things We pro-
duce at home, and the free list for the
things We do not produce. Brethren,
let US pray!

OMAHA AGAIN SETS THE PACE
shows Per Cent Gain i'm Bank Clear
inRs Larger Than Any City
i'm the Country.

Omaha's position i'm the financial world
was again clearly set forth by the Brad
street statement of bank clearings for the
week ending Thursday. Omaha banks led
the entire country in the per cent of gain
over the corresponding week last year.
OF all the larger cities Of the United States
but two show on the gain side of the
l~edger-Omaha and Kansas City-but
Omaha shows over twice the gain of Kan
sas City. Omaha shows an increase of
1917 per cent and is seventeenth city in the
list. Kansas City shows a gain of 81 per
cent and is eighth in the list. When the
statement for June was issued it was seen
that Omaha banks led the entire country
for the year and that the Omaha financial
institutions had weathered the late de-
preston better than any bank in the coun-
try. This condition is again brought out
by the splendid statement made by the
banks Friday in response to a call from
the comptroller of currency for a public
statement on the condition of the banks

WAGES FREE OF ATTACHMENT
No Part 90 salary Can ne GRrnisheed
According to Court de-
ciHton.

An important decision has just oeen
handed down by Judge Sears Of the dis
trict court in the case Of Schneiderwind
against Corwin F. Jones. wherein The gar
nisheed party may claim his entire wages
in addition to the $500 homestead eXemp-
ton provided under the general law.
The ruling of Judge Sears is the same
as recently made by Judge Kennedy in a
similar case. which ruling holds tina. the
exemption law providing for $500 personal
property exemption includes wages earned.
In other words. that the new Rarnishment
law providing that 81 per cent Of sixty
days wages can only be EXEMPT does not
modify the provisions OF the general law,
exempting 800 in lieu of homestead. That
IL to say that a working man, clerk or
other wage Garner is entitled to $500 worth
Of personal property exemption in addition
TO the 80 per cent of his wages for sixty
days, and he may claim the remaining 10
per cent under the general law.
1t has been the practice of the justice
OF the peace courts to allow this 10 per
cent garnishment in garnishee proceedings
brought before them, but the ruling of
Judges Kennedy and Sears will invalidate
| such judgments for the future.
