Savings Bank Case.

The Corning Savings bank is to come
before the supreme court this week on a
petition for a rehearing. The supreme court
by actual count grants one rehearing in
every 400 cases, and therefore the chances
However, the fact that the point will be
finally passed upon is of decided import
ance to the banking and commercial inter-
ests of the state of Iowa, makes the petit
ton for a rehearing of considerable i'm
portance.
The case is that of State of Iowa ex rel.
B. +. Carroll, auditor, against Corning
State Savings Bank ct al, appellants. The
bank went broke because of one of the
paper, with the endorsement and guaran-
tee of the bank. A considerable part Of 1t
was sold to the Iowa National bank of this
city. In the litigation Charles w. Johnston
represented the Iowa National, and the en-
tire question at issue was whether or not a
savings bank could guarantee commercial
paper,
If 1t could not, then no bank or COM
mercial agency or individual would ever
buy commercial paper of a savings bank.
The district court and supreme court held
that the guarantee of the savings bank
was good and that It must make good the
forged paper. This makes the claim of the
Iowa National a preferred claim. When
the supreme court passes on the petition
for a rehearing il It refuses the rehearing
it will settle for all time this important
banking legal question.
