GUTHRIE, Oklahoma, April s. -
When the 5solons of the Oklahoma leg
islature passed "a law requiring all
State banks to subscribe to a fund for
the protection OF depositors against
loss through bank failures, the wise
men Of the East indulged In some very
flippant and cynical criticisms OF the
scheme and declared that 1t would be
a failure. While the period OF less
than two months that has elapsed
since the law became effective may
not have been sufficient to provide a
fair test, there is every probability
that the Oklahoma law has come to
stay and that other States will be fore.
ed to pass similar; laws IN order to
protect their own banks. 81 Z. d,
Whatever may be said against tho
law, It has served to restore public
confidence in the banks and to bring
out much money from hiding. The
national banks have generally stool
aloof from the law, and have suffer.
ed somewhat from the competition o.
ftha that-4state:guaranteed4 banks. While
there has been no remarkable rush
OF money from other States, hundreds
of people have taken advantage OF
protection afforded by Oklahoma
banks to send their. savings here. AT
first. these importations OF money
We're mainly small sums, but now
many large corporations in other
States are looking up the advantages
offered by the banks of the new State
and are making propositions to de.
posIt large sums. Most OF the bankers
are fighting shy Of too large deposits
fearing that the returns would not
be adequate after paying the 1 per
cent. protection assessment to tile
State.
The banks across the State boundar
les, in Kansas. Texas and Arkansas
are beginning to feel the effects Of the
Oklahoma competition through @
,shrinkage of deposits. The drain has
not set in heavily as yet, but with In
creasing public confidence in the prac
ticability and desirability OF the new
act, there is no doubt that these States
will. in t dfiabacoheurseoshrdlupnpul
will, in the course of a few years, be
forced to adopt a similar measure. AS
these commemorative will. in turn, act
upon others, Oklahoma may have start
ed a movement that will not be com
pleted until 1t has reached from ocean
to ocean and from the Canada border
to the Gulf. -, its;
