BANK CONVENTION
NOT ALTOGETHER
UNANIMOUS
BANK GUARANTEE WAS REALLY
POPULAR MEASURE WITH
BANKERS
Cashier A. G. Smith of Globe National
Casts Light on Situation at Denver
and Gives Interesting Explanation of
Reasons for Opposition.

Cashier A. G. Smith of the Globe
National bank, who has just returned
from Denver. where ne was attending
the bankers convention and was elect
ed vice president for Arizona, gives con-
siderable light on the workings of the
convention as to the attitude of the
bankers of the United States towards
bank guarantees and postal savings
banks, the two banking measures which
are attracting so much attention just
now by reason of their connection with
the presidential campaign.
That this convention was not by any
means unit in condemning the bank
guaranteeing proposition is asserted by
Mr.. Smith, who makes the further dis
closure that fair treatment might have
brought out the fact that the convention
was really in favor of the measure.
"The reports sent out from Denver
made il appear that the bankers were
solid against the bank guarantee propo-
sition,' said Mr.. Smith, "but this was
certainly not the unanimous sentiment
of the gathering, nor of the American
Bankers association.
"It is true that the committees
which discussed the question went on
record against it, but it was also true
that the resolution was not put before
tho convention.
"When the resolution condemning
bank guarantee was brought in, and aye
and nav vote was called, and it was so
close that the chairman hesitated before
he would announce the result. Then
| motion was made calling for poll OF
the convention, and the chair refused
to entertain it. That is how the meas
ure was disposed of.
"The opposition came from the big
city banks.
"The thing is this: Bank guarantee
would make one bank as safe as an
other. There are many depositors who
fancy that the large bank is the safest
and for that reason they send all OF
their money to the big cities instead OF
depositing in the small banks in the
country. With bank guarantee, the city
banks would lose all of this country
business, and that is just why they are
fighting the plan. =,
cit is for the same reason that the
city banks are favoring postal savings
banks.
"With all of the money in the rura
districts deposited in postal savings
banks, the money would be in contro
of the government, from whom 1T woulC
be borrowed in large sums by the city
banks, enabling them to materially en-
large their operations at the expense OF
the country banks.
