OWEN FAVORS GUARANTY LAW

Kansas City, Mo, Nov 6.-senator
r. J.. owen, of Oklahoma who has been
stopping here. stoutly defends the
bank guaranty law Of Oklahoma. The
senator, in an interview, said:
@In my judgment nothing has oc-
Cured to justify distrust in the prin-
ciples laid down by the guaranty law
of Oklahoma
1T is true that the Columbia Trust
company failed, but it is also true
that bad management or harmful talk
about bank may put any institution
in liquidation
II do not pretend to know the cir
cumstances Of the failure Of this state
institution, but / cannot help remark
ing that the American National Bank
Of Bartlesville, which was national
bank, controlled by Mr. Norton and
his friends also went into liquidation,
because of the same underlying causes.
Shall we denounce the national
bank act, because Mr.. Norton's bank
at Bartlesville, the American National,
went into liquidation?
mot at all. The national banking
system is one of the finest on earth
and | have been in the national bank
ing busines for twenty years and all
my interests now are in the national
banks and are not in state banks,
Nevertheless / am firmly convinced
that the guaranty fund plan is not only
judicious for tAe state banks, but
should be adopted for the national
banks.
The national banks are extremely
safe as it IS. taking them as class,
although you occasionally see failure
due to bad management or to avoid
ance of the safeguards established
by long practice and by statute.
Those who clamor against the guar
antyfund law, which gives special
protection to an ignorant deposition
generally do so on the ground that
it promotes reckless banking.
Nothing Of the kind is true. It
does not promote reckless banking. It
conservative banking.
~The Oklahoma law is conservative
in this-that it forbids bankers paying
over four per cent on short time de-
posits. over three per cent on short
time deposits; forbids bankers paying
over ten per cent for money; forbids
the officers Of a bank, borrowing from
the bank; requires substantial fe-
serve to be kept on hand, and has otn~
ed safeguards, established by law in
Guiding a double liability Of the stock
holders.

under the double liability Is indebted
to the depositors 100000 more con
duct a recklesS business, and ieopar-
disc the house n which he lives?
DThe guaranty fund is a limited na-
bility ana is not an unlimited liability
1T is a very important considera-
tion. because it meets the WHOLESALE
objection, that the conservative man
ought not to be entirely responsible
for the losses of the unwise man or Of
she reckless man The answer to this
proposition is-he is only responsible
to a very small amount
Il think 1t very bad policy for a
state to have any hostilities aroused
between the national bankers and the
state bankers, although sometimes a
conflict Of interest seems to be I'M
avoidable, where the state bank has
the guaranty plan and the national
bank has not.
"The ignorant, unsuspecting deposl-
tor ought to have this safe guard, so
as to prevent his having any excite
ment in times Of financial stringency-
1t is the runs on banks, in times Of
panic, by ignorant depositors who are
frightened. that cause the most terrible
financial disasters.
THE fear of the depositor should
be prevented by reasonable guar
anty fund that will assure him his
money. in case Of bad management
To prevent panic, is very important,
not only to the depositor, but to the
stockholders of the banks, whether
state or national, is very important
to the bankers themselves and is OF
equal Importance to the entire com
mercial world wlich suffers il bust
ness is paralyzed when fiancial panic
occurs
Il think the Oklahoma law would be
improved by allowing the contributing
banks to elect the state bankcommis-
sioner and the state bank inspectors,
and give them the right to recall, in
case Of ineffeciency of these officials
This would avoid the suspicion of po-
litical manipulation and confidence
would be established in the minds Of
the people
Il have entire confidence in the
guaranty fund plan It will protect
the little depositor by the mutual in
surance plan and will prove very ben
eticial to the state Of Oklahoma, as il
already has done, having increased
the deposits of the state banks over
hundred per cent since the law was
established.
Certainly the bankers of Oklahoma
City and the business men Of Okla
homa City and the newspapers Of Ok
lahoma City ought to be grateful to the
guaranty fund which saved that city
in the recent crisis from very dan
gerous financial panic.

Washington ard elsewhere since
Booker Washington was here last

it is expected that the negroes in
t...e South who are holding impor-
tant offices will, as heir toms ex-
pire, be displaced for the most part
by whites. and in turn recognition
will be given to colored men in the
North. The list of colored men
holding important offices in the
South under the Federal Govern
