That both men died In their father

Banks without Capital.

1.-TWO men recently started a bank Of
$4,000 capital, in Oklahoma City, a
town of forty or fifty thousand inhab-
itants When asked how they expected
to succeed with bank of $4,000 cap
ital in a city of that size, one of them
replied what do we care about cap
ital, the state Is in partnership with
us?' The president of the First Ma
ti0nal Bank Of Perry was also mer-
chant and failed in business and was
compelled to go through bankruptcy.
Naturally he had to resign his connec-
ton with the First National Bank. lie
new has taken out charter and is
president of Il state bank i'm Oklahoma.
One man, when prohibition closed his
saloon, quit the saloon business and
started up bank and has thirty or
forty thousand on deposit
There can be but one deduction
from this enormous rush for starting
new state banks. They are being start
ed by irresponsible, inexperienced
men, and, instead of indicating a solid
growth for the state OF Oklahoma. they
indicate an era of irresponsible and
wildcat work.

The practical workings of the Okla

were described by Mr.. J. w. McNeaI,
one of the most substantial bankers of
that state, and president Of the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce, Guthrie, in
short public address at Denver, Oct.
1, 1908.
Mr.. McNeal said:
ITO my mind 1t is the most vicious
and pernicious law ever forced on a
body of honorable men. 1t contains
provision for an unlimited mutual lid.

Judgment, dishonest and incompetent
bankers, without any recognition of
the time-tried, strong banker, who may
have spent lifetime in building up his
reputation. Under the provisions Of
this law, the State Banking Board is
required to levy an assessment equal to
one per cent. of the average deposits
In each bank, and, in the future, to levy
as often as may be required, sum
sufficient to maintain this fund, at one
per cent Of the average deposits of the

Oklahoma? There have been seventy

1t is immaterial what character of men
are at the head of banks, they get the
business by claiming that the state is
