guaranty of bank deposits have been re-
ceived at the state house and will be kept
for the benefit Of democratic legislators
who have promised such a measure to the
people of Nebraska
This Kansas bill provides Ahat all state
banks which desire to avail themselves OF
the guaranty law shall deposit with the
state treasurer 500 for It's first $4,000 on
deposit in the bank and so for each addi-
tonal 100000 deposited. This sum shall DE
levied annually until the fund reaches more
than a,00.O0O. The money is then deposited
by the state treasurer in state repositories.
When the fund falls down to 500, 900 new
levies are made. In case of bank failures
sufficiently serious to wipe out the guaranty
fund the various banks are assessed, but
no more than five assessments can be made
in one year. In case a bank does not come
across with its assessment within thirty
days the assessment is increased 50 per
cent. This applies to the first assessment.
