town of forty or fifty thousand inhab-

replied what do we care about cap
ital, the state is in partnership with
us?' The president Of the First Ma
tional Bank of Perry was also n mer-
chant and failed In business and was
compelled to go through bankruptcy.
Naturally he had to resign his connec-
ton with the First National Bank. He
now has taken out a charter and Is
president of a state bank in Oklahoma.
One man, when prohibition closed his
saloon, quit the saloon business and
started up a bank and has thirty or
forty thousand on deposit.
"There can be but one deduction
from this enormous rush for starting
new state banks. They are being start
Cd by irresponsible, inexperienced
men, and, instead Of indicating a solid
growth for the state of Oklahoma, they
indicate an era Of irresponsible and
wildcat work.
zone Of the dangerous evils of this
Guaranty Law is that it guarantees
credit deposits as well as cash depos-
it's. Now, you all know that not more
than one-tenth of a banks daily depos-
its are in actual cash. Nine-tenths are
credit deposits, are either checks and
drafts or proceeds Of loans. When
these credit deposits, that are made as
the proceeds Of a loan, are guaranteed,
the guaranty certainly reaches to the
guaranteeing of the loan itself, for the
reason that the deposit is merely the
result of the loan.

Practical Workings Of Oklahoma
Bank Deposit Guarantee Law
Explained.
Reckless Banking and Speculative
Methods Follow Passage of
Law.

The practical workings Of the Okla

were described by Mr.. j. w. McNeal,
one Of the most substantial bankers Of
that state, and president Of the Ma
tional Bank Of Commerce, Guthrie, in
4 short public address at Denver, Oct.
/, 1908
Mr.. McNeal said:
7 my mind it is the most vicious
and pernlcious law ever forced on a
body of honorable men. 1t contains a
provision for an unlimited mutual liza
bility for all the defalcations, lack Of
judgment, dishonest and incompetent
bankers, without any recognition Of
the time-tried, strong banker, who may
have spent a lifetime in building up his
reputation. Under the provisions Of
this law, the State Banking Board is
required to levy a assessment equal to
one per cent. Of the average deposits
In each bank, and, in the future, to levy
as often as may be required, a sum
sufficient to maintain this fund, at one
per cent Of the average deposits of the
state.
