REPUBLICAN CONSISTENCY Q
THE BANK GUARANTY.

Congressman Charles N. Fowler
Republican chairman Of the House
committee on banking and currency
Is quoted in an interview published
by the Republican national committed
"a rediculing the idea of guaranteeing
bank deposits, declaring It to be the
''ranlest demagoguery."
To illustrate Republican consistency
on this proposition, II is interesting to
recall Mr.. Fowler's speech in the
House on Jan. of this year. Advo-
eating his own measure, the speaker
said in part:
Fourth, 1t will establish in the
United States treasury such gusran-
tee fund as will absolutely protect all
depositors and thereby prevent panic
and the boarding of money"
Second. all our national banks to
guarantee their deposits by establish
ing guaranty fund in United States
treasury" etc.
Continuing Mr. Fowler said:
"Mr. Chairman, more than this, the
states are already taking this matter
up and Oklahoma has already passed
the law providing for the guaranty Of
depositors. The legislature of Kan.
Eas has been called in extra session for
the express purpose Of considering the
same subject, the banks on the south
ora boundary OF that state having
complained that they we're losing de-
posits." ss s
Mr.. Fowler then took up and rid
died the argument that the guarantee
ing Of bank deposits would lead to
unsound banking. He ridiculed the
same argument which Republicans are
now making against the guarantee law.
Upon this subject, Mr. Fowler said:
page 1144) 'Mr Chairman, we are
occasionally met with the statement
that the guarantee Of deposits would
lead to unsound banking. Can
you think of a banker, because he has
insured his deposits going into the
directors room and saying, Gentle
men. we have insured our deposits
today Now let us proceed to make
some rotten loans.'"
Answering further objections to the
plan Of guaranteeing bank deposits.
Mr.. Fowler said:
"Mr. Chairman, the oldest bank
president in some town. or possibly
the president of the largest bank in
some town may say that he will not
have the advantage in the future to
which he believes himself entitled if
deposits are insured; therefore, there
will be two classes who will oppose
this principle. But the banks, like
other business institutions, will gain
not by mere age and respectability, or
by mere bulk Of capital but rather by
