To REGULATE
BROKERS
GUY A. MILLER AND J. D. MCKAY
FAVOR LAW PROVIDING FOR
DEPOSIT OF GUARANTY FUND
WITH STATE OFFICIALS.

New state legislation regulating
brokerage Offices may be brought
about as result Of the Cameron
Currie & Co. failure. Guy A. Miller.
candidate for the legislature. and
John ID. Mckay. candidate for sena-
tor in the Third district, both favor
some new legislation that will oper-
ate to safeguard customers dealing
with brokers.
Il would favor law providing
that brokers be compelled to deposit
guaranty fund with state officials
before going into business" says Mr..
Miller. Then they would be on the
same basis. as banks. and could not
speculate with their customers money
or hypothecate their customers stock
without some guarantee that losses
would be made good.
1T does not seem possible TO cut
off margin trading but the brokerage
business can be made safer for the
public A margin deal is just the
same as an installment real estate
deal, In which man pays certain
amount down on a lot. II real estate
goes up, he sells again without pay
ing the remainder. transferring his
right and aking his profit"
