Carried to its legitimate conclusion It
would destroy the existing system of bank

Our banking system is peculiar to the

Mr.. Hitchcock, in his debate, commended
the continental system and in a manner
sought TO convey the idea that under this
system bank deposits were guaranteed. OF

The Oklahoma law cannot be improve

OMAHA KEEPS OUT OF MESS
Local Bankers and Commercial Club
Let Egg-0-See Alone.
NOW SEE THEY WERE RIGHT
Company that Sought to Float
100000 of Bonds Here is
I'm the Hands of Re-
cetVers.

Egg-O-See tried to hatch $500. 900 in Omaha
to keep the concern from going into the
hands OF a receiver, but Omaha bankers
were too much like real bankers and the
Commercial club had no fund to give.
This is what the business men OF Omaha
realize now, since the Egg-o-See company
has been placed in the hands of a receiver
and this is the Interpretation put on the
effort of the concern to float S25O,OO worth
of bonds in Omaha, by Luther Drake,
president of the Merchants National bank,
at the time a representative approached
Mr.. Drake to feel out the situation and
see II the bonds or a large share of them
could be floated in Omaha.
The reason given by representatives of
the company for wanting TO sell the bonds
in Omaha was, that IL successful, the
Egg-o-See company proposed to erect a
plant in Omaha, and the representatives
said while President Cassidy of the COM
pany did not desire to sell Omahans stock,
he did feel that they should take some
bonds, as they entailed no risk and would
constitute mortgages on the company's
great plants in other cities.
But the Omaha bankers and members
Of the Commercial club told the Egg-o-See
people kindly, but firmly. that there were
~ u CtHABohlOS III ma INV NoAAN
underwrIte a bond issue and It was doubt
full whether any large amount of the bonds
could be sold to individuals, at least not
until the big plant was erected in Omaha.
Why Not Go TO New York;
why don't you take these bonds to New
York or to some other bond market and
sell them? They will buy them there, hut
the banks here could not take them" Mr.
Drake told Charles T. Neale. a financial
agent OF the company, who came to Omaha
last Tune to look over the situation and
| see what the outlook was for floating bonds
In Omaha.
Several times the Egg-o-see people
wanted to raise a large amount of money
in Omaha for the purpose of building Il
plant here. "Eeas the place where this
grain is produced" But Omaha business
meu did not see why they should build
and equip a factory for the concern just
to have it operated in Omaha, and nego-
~tiations were declared off.
The Commercial club makes II q rule TO
help those who want help, furnish a site
when necessary to good industries. but be.
lieves Omaha has reached a point of i'm
portance in its industries where It is rot
necessary to build a plant for a concern to
operate.
Bgg-o-See failed to hatch $30O.OOO.
The petition in bankruptcy sets up that
the liabilities Of the company are nearly
10000. while the assets amount to but
SaO, 600.
The difference of 100000 was about the
amount the company waEted to hatch In
Omaha with Egg-o-see bonds.

keeping of the 5000 or more national banks.
A moments reflection will show the alb
surdity of the idea. All banks practically
suspended currency payments last fall, and
probably would do it again in a similar
emergency unless helped by the Aldrich-
Vreeland act. But democrats are unani-
mously opposed to this act and will repeal
it when they have the opportunity.
From whom would the currency be OBJ
tanned in such al emergency to meet de-
mands upon the guaranty fund.- If the
fund should be kept in currency 1t would
be a serious withdrawal from active use
of money needed by the commercial inter-
ests Of the country, and commercial inter-
ests mean labor interests as well,
But. granting that this would be the plan
followed and that the fun would be kept
in morey, the slightest consideration will
show that it could never reach a sum suf-
ficient to meet the demands upon it. When
we speak OF closed banks we do not neces-
sarily mean banks that will fail to pay de-
positors in full.
NO bank can pay from its own resources
all Of its deposits on demand; no matter
how solvent 1t may be, 1t must have have
time to realize upon its securities. The
total deposits of the banks in the United
States are over $15,O OO, OOo. 900, while the totaI
money is a little over 5000. OOO, 1000.
If the guaranty fund ever reaches the
sum of $40, 0 .OOO, which is a large sum, II
would be Insignificant when compared with
the deposits Of many single Institutions n
the country, several of which have ovei
500. 100000 of deposits.
In Oklahoma 1t was not difficult to pay
$4,000 for one closed bank from a funC
which had reached slS5, 900. What would
have happened If the closed bank had beer
one of $4,000 deposits or more? Even thii
bank seems to have been closed simply be
cause there was money sufficient in tn,
fund and it was desired to make an OBJ
ject lesson for political effect. The sam,
