has been as bad or worse than his own. His
attitude and that OF his managers in the present

Guaranteed Bank Deposit.

Mr.. Bryan, in his speech at Topeka,
Kan, last week, threw down the gauntlet
to Mr.. Taft on guaranteed bank deposits,
stating that-.'Tbe action Of the Repub-
lica1r State Convention of Kansas is a re-
buke to the Republican candidate for
President. who has been assailiug the
guarantee of deposits. Not only is he
opposed to the system as national sys-
tenn, bat the Attorney, General has'made
a ruling which prevents national banks
from taking advantage Of State system.
The action of the Republican State Con-
vention in Kansas makes it impossible
for the Republicans of that State to
oppose our plans, while the action of Mr..
Taft and Attorney GENERAL Bonaparte
shuts off all hope of favorable action by
the Republican party. Those who favor
the guarantee of bank deposits, therefore,
will find their only hope in Democratic
victory
''Why not make the depositor secure
The United States Government requires
the deposit of specific security when it
intrusts monty 10 national bank, al.
though it can examine the bank at any
time; the State requires security when II
deposits money in bank; the county re-
quires security and the city requires Sc
curisy: even the banks require security
from the officials who handle money.
Why should the depositor be. left to take
his chances?
mot only is the deposition without pro.
lection, but the security given to nation,
State. county and city lessons his security
They are preferred creditors; they have a
mortgage on the gilt edged assets and
the depositors must get along as best he
can with what remains. Why are the
interests of depositors thus neglected?
IA bank asks deposits on the theory
that the depositor is sure of the return of
his money, and the laws ought to make
the facts conform TO the theory. The de
positor, the community and the banker
himself will be benefited by legislation
which will give to every depositor the
assurance that the money which is com:
United to the keeping qfthe bank will be
available to meet his needs at any time
Such is not the case today, for while al
banks are reasonably secure, they are no,
absolutely so.
"Last fall when the banks by con
certed action suspended payments or
checks, the depositors were everywhere
brought to.a realization of the facts thai
their deposits are in fact loans, payable OF
demand under ordinary circumstances
but payable at the'will of the bank il
emergencies"
