to Depositors.

Guthrie Within one hour
from tho time HI. II. SmoclS oklahoma
banking commissioner, had taken
charge OF the International Bank Of
Colgate for alleged violation Of the
banking laws, he had authority to pay
the depositors in full, though the
banks cash and available funds in
other banks fell $4,000 short of the
total amount of deposits. The com.
missioner was enabled to do this un-
der the operation of the new bank
ing law. and this is the first time it
has been called into use. When the
cash was exhausted the commissioner
drew checks upon the state guaranty
fund. Under the operation of the
guaranty banking law in Oklahoma, a
tax OF per cent is levied upon the
average annual deposits of all state
hanks, and the money thus raised is
used in payment in full of all depos
itors of an insolvent state bank after
the funds of the bank have been ex.
hausted.
