Law ls imperative.

Attorney General Bonaparte, in an
opinion given out Saturday delivers
a severe blow to a cherished law Great
ed by the reformers of the new state
OF Oklahoma, by declaring that 1t is
Illegal for national banks to take part
in any scheme to guarantee the de-
posits in banks. The opinion is a form
al one rendered on the request of Sec
rotary Cortelyou, of the treasury.
Bonaparte says: The statute OF
Oklahoma creates a state banking
board, and requires the board to levy
against the capital stock an assess
ment of ] per cent of the banks daily
average deposits with certain deduc-
tons upon each and every bank or
ganized and existing under the laws
of this state The assessment is to
constitute what is designated as a
'depositors' guarantee fund.- and ad-
ditional assessments are TO be levied
against the capital stock Of the banks,
proportionately to the amount of their
deposits, SO as to always maintain
the fund at the designated amount.
1T is generally recognized that a
national bank has no power TO guaran-
tee the obligation of a third party
unless in connection with a sale or
transfer Of its own property. and as
an incident to the banking business.
1T has been argued that the bank
in this case would not guarantee the
obligations of other banks, but would
only agree to put the state of Okla
homa, through its banking board, in
funds to make effectual such a guar
anty on its part. think this is dis
tinction without a difference.
Il hold that it is illegal for the Of
ficers of any national bank to enter
into such an agreement as is contem-
plated by the Oklahoma statute, and
that persistent and willful action to
this effect on the part of any such
bank would be just cause for the for
fixture of its charter"
