PROBABLY A GOOD PLAN
The Oklahoma Way Of Securing Bank
Depositors and How They Treat
Officials.

The following report on an Okla
homa bank failure shows the way they
DO things in that democratic common
" eaIth:
The International Bank of Coal
gate was reported TO the bank COM
missioner by one of his examiners a
few days ago for violating the bank
Jig law of the state, particularly in its
managing officers borrowing from the
depositors' money.
THE bank commissioner at once
visited the bank in person and found
that the total deposits We're $37 900, of
which the president, L. A Connors,
owed over $4,000. and the cashier L.
Ely, owed over $4,000-in other
words, about thirty per cent. of the
deposits had been borrowed by the
two managing officers. The bank COM
missioner demanded that they imme-
diately replace the money. They fail
ell TO do SO. He closed the bank at
2:15 Thursday evening; telephoned
the state banking board: received in
structions to Immediately proceed to
Jay all approved deposits. In forty
two minutes from the closing Of the
pay approved deposits. By Friday
evening sixty per cent. of the depos-
itors had appeared, proved their
Gains and received their money. BY
the end Of the second day ninety per
cent. Of all deposits had been paid. A
few depositors who live in the coun-
try don't seem to be in a hurry about
drawing their deposits. One farmer is
reported as answering over the rural
tt lephone that he is too busy to come
after his money, but will want il in a
week or so.
I'm the meantime both the presi-
dent and the cashier have been ar
rested for the violation of the state
banking law and are held under heavy
bend.
There will probably be no loss to
the state guaranty fund and no as
sessment required on other banks.
Liquidation will likely reimburse. the
state fund within thirty Gays. The
less will probably not exceed the CAPT.
