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

The practical workings or the Okla-
homa law guaranteeing bank deposits
were described by Mr.. j. w. McNeal,
one of the most substantial bankers of
that state, md president of the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce, Guthrie, in
/, short public address at Denver, Oct.
I, 1903.
Mr. McNeal said:
'sTo my mind it is the most vicious
and rernicious law ever forced on Il
body Of honorable men. II contains a
provision for an unlimited mutual lid
biIity for all the defalcations, lack Of
Judgment, dishonest and incompetent
bankers, without any recognition of
the time-tried, strong banker, who may
have spent lifetime in building up his
reputation. Under the provisions of
this law, the State Banking Board is
required to levy an assessment equal to
one per cent. Of the average deposits
In each bank, and, in the future, to levy
al often as may be required, a sum
sufficient to maintain this fund. at one
per cent of the average deposits of the
state

"What has been some of the results
OF the actual operation Of this law III
Oklahoma? There have been seventy
seven new state bank charters issued
since the adoption Of this law, forty
two of these with a capital stock Of
only $4,000 each. There has been a
regular hegira for starting new state
banks without regard to the necessities
Of the community or the character Of
the merf starting the banks.
"We have one instance of where a

regularly made the successor of his
chief at the expiration OF the latter's
time we would have an endless chain
which would never let the nomination
get outside of the ONCE. We would,
furthermore, be establishing a sort Of
political dynasty by which each once
holder would choose his own successor,
leaving to the rank and file OF the
party only the privilege Of ratification.
The necessity of leaving the door open,
at least occasionally, to an outsider
who gets his credentials direct rather
than by appointment Of the outgoing
officer Is self-evident.
At the same time the mere fact
that a man has been serving as a dep
uty in a state Office should not disqual-
ify him from aspiring to further pub
lie favor. Promotion to the head posi-
tion is a legitimate aspiration for the
subordinate and constitutes the only
reward of faithful and efficient service
which IAN be bestowed upon him by
the people he serves. A good deputy
has a right to ask to be considered
when his chief vacstes and it follows
that a bad deputy has no right to ex-
pect consideration under any circum-
stances.
In our judgment it comes down to
this, that the fact that a candidate is a
deputy does not establish his claim
conclusively, nor does 1t Of itself bar
him out. He should stand on his own
merits absolutely in each individual
case. The best way to pass on that
question, it seems to us, would be to
ask whether the candidate would have
been seriously considered had he never
been a deputy.
