challenges for Joint debates between
the nominees Of the Democratic and
Republican candidates. That IL not
all, the issues on which the Repub-

there will be no meetings Of this

Republican Guaranty "stalIer"

Republican Guaranty "StalIer"
]. @. Royce. Republican state bank
commissioner, in his statement on
the conditions of the state banks fol-
lowing the call for September l, goes
into a lengthy appeal for bank
guaranty law. The people of Kansas
are practically unanimous for a bank
guaranty law. All want the law e.
cept the bankers. They don't want
1t any more than they want the
postal savings banks and other fea-
lures which will serve to make bank.
ing an absolutely safe proposition.
Kansans look at Oklahoma to see
bank shut its doors. There is no
anxiety, because the people know
that the state islands back of the
bank with fund which will redeem
every dollar in that bank. There
are no runs down there and Kansas
wants a similar law. There is no
question that had the Republican ma
tional convention declared in favor of
a bank guaranty law that party in
Kansas would have made am out and
out and most emphatic declaration TO
the law. But the Republican plat
form said nothing. Knowing that
1t would not do to allow the Demo
cratic party in Kansas to have all
the glory in such a popular measure
the Republican state platform CON-
mittee put in a "staller." The guar.
anty plank In the Republican state
platform means absolutely nothing.
It says:
We pledge ourselves through
our candidates for the legislature
to the passage of an act enabling
the state banks to mutually and
voluntarily guarantee deposits
under the provisions OF the bank
commissioners department and
request our candidates for con-
gress and the United States sem
ate to favor a law enabling ma
tional banks to participate there
In.
That's what the Republican plank
on guaranty says.
This is what 1t means: It means
absolutely nothing. The bankers are
not in favor Of the law and 1t can
not be enforced upon them to come
under its provisions. Bank guaranty
under the Republican administration
Is impossible unless the bankers see
fit to band themselves together and
agree to mutually protect the de-
positors.
This Is what the Democratic state
plank on guaranty Of deposits says:
We pledge the people Of Kan
sas that we will enact a bank
deposit law that viii make abso-
lutely safe every dollar Of money
deposited In a state bank. Such
guaranty Is to be under the con-
troll and supervision Of the state.
We condemn the last Republican !.
legislature for not enacting such
q law.
That's what the Democratic plank
on guaranty says.
This is what 1t means: II means
that every bank In the state win be
assessed a certain PERCENTAGE Of It's
deposits to create a general fun,
from which the depositors Of a fail
ed bank will be paid. The state banl
win be compelled to come under the
provision and the Democratic party
viii not permit any voluntary or
mutual agreement. They win be
