hoeh Defends Guaranty.

Topeka. Kans.. Oct. % = Former
Governor Hoeh takes issue with the
federal court Of Nebraska. which. in
its decision knocking out the Nebras-
ka bank guaranty Law. places banks
on the same footing with grocery
stores and butcher shops.
He says banks do not only do busi-
ness like stores. but they also furnish
protection for the peoples money
against robbers. and therefore come
within the police powers OF the state.
For this reason he says that the
principle Of the bank deposit insur-
ance is sound.

The concluding remark about a re-
Organization Of the bank is one that
the state officers have nothing to do
with. We are not in the re-organiza-
ton business. That is a feat Of Wall
street, and which they usually base
on wind and glittering prospects. but
a reorganization in Oklahoma would
have to be on a perfectly solid and
substantial basis before it could hope
to meet our approval

Guthrie. Okla, Oct. z5.-No state
officer is interested In the reorgaRiza-
tion Of the Columbia Bank and Trust
company, according to Governor Has
kell. who issued statement Saturday
in reply to criticisms made by the
Wall Street Journal and other papers
That no state officer owed the Colum-
bia company a cent. save State Treas
urer Menefee. who had two $4,000
notes in the bank. is also asserted.
The statement follows:
I'VE note the Wall Street Journal
has asked some questions. Since you
copy their questions. I am always
pleased TO answer any question so
coming before the public.
In the first place. there is no state
official in charge Of reorganization Of
the Columbia Bank and Trust com
pany When the state officers have
liquidated a bank. and caused its de-
positors and other creditors to be paid
our duty ends.
No state officer owed the Columbia
Bank and Trust company any sum
whatever. except Mr.. Menefee. whom.
it appears from the records. did his
banking business at that institution
and owed the institution two notes
of $4,000 each. These came into the
hands Of the state bank commissioner
as part of the assets Of the bank. Mr..
Menefee has already paid one note
and the interest thereon in full, al
though it was not yet due. The other
note. which is also not due for some
months ye-. he has amply secured
and assures us it will be paid before
There is nothing strange about a
state officer doing the usuai banking
of his private affairs in some
bank I suppose that most public Of
hcers have some bank with which they

Dne and two.
Question number three We have

low paid down to ffty-two thousand
Iollars. and practically all Of the un-

.gainst notes held by the bank against
he same parties.
Question number six Certainly
