NOW TT WORKS.

The efficiency of the Oklaho-
ma law guaranteeing state bank
depositors from loss has been put
to the test and its usefulness has
been verified. The International
Bank at Coalgate; Okla, failed a
few days ago, owing towel,
owing to the fact that it became
insolvent. The cause OF the
banks failure was not mentioned
in the press report, hence we are
left to founder around in the
slough of conjecture, and If we
picture in the camera obsctlra OF
our brain fleeing cashier with
his pockets filled with stolen
cash, perhaps we shall not be
far away from the truth. But
we digress.

When the International went
under, it had $4,000 cash on hand
and $1,000 deposits in other
banks. This sum fell $4,000
short of equaling the amount
of deposits that individuals had
placed in the bank. In Other
words, the liabilities of the bank
were $4,000 in excess of its
available assets.
Did the depositors lose this
$4,000
Oh no, they didn't lose a cent,
How's that?
Well, you see, under the Okla
homa law guaranteeing bank de-
posits, depositors in state banks
cannot lose a cent from bank fail
ures unless the state itself goes
into bankruptcy!
Under this law a tax of one
per cent is levied upon the aver
age annual deposits of all state
banks and the money thus raised
is used to make good all losses
sustained by depositors in any
state bank which becomes insol-
vent. Of course the state
banking commissioner, when he
takes charge of an insolvent
bank, uses all the available
funds that may be left of the
banks assets in paying in full its
depositors, but the deficit is
drawn from the funds derived
from the one per cent tax levy
on deposits.
That is how it works.
1t is one of the best fiscal laws
ever conceived in the brain OF
man. and every state in the
union should have a law just
like il Fl!

Plans on Foot For Another Link In
the Delta.

The Jackson News Of the 9th inst
contains the following railroad news Of
interest to the people Of the Delta:
The Yazoo & Mississippi Valley road
is considering the feasibility of con-
structing a new line in the delta, form
ing another link 10 the network system
traversing that section OF the state.
The new road in prospect will be built
In Sunfiower county, passing north and
south through the county seat, Indiana
la, and will be about forty miles In
length.
preliminary survey has been made,
and 1t is understood that the plans have
been sent to President Harahan for ap-
proval. II the line is built it will open
up one of the most fertile sections OF the
delta, and bring Indianoia into more
closer contract with the outside world,
At present the Sunfiower capital can be
reached only over the Southern railway.
Plans are making good headway for
the construction Of the Aberdeen e.
Tombigbee Valley road, and the man
agement states that at least fifty miles
of the line will be completed within the
present year.
So far as can be learned, the New
Orleans & Great Northern has made no
plans TO resume construction work dur
ing the summer. The company appar-
emily had everything in readiness to
start work six weeks ago but for some
reason thus far unexplained the orders
to contractors were cancelled, and the
corporation is playing a waiting game.
