come 90 when the guarantee deposit
bill is introduced; The house com.
mlttee on banks and banking has
agreed on bill and it will be pre-.
sented Thursday after the bankers Of
the-sta have met here Wednesday
and held final discussion on the
measure. The bill is weaker than
the one demanded by the radicals
and provides for guarantee fund Of
only S25O,OO0, and it affords more
protection to the bankers than any
bill yet proposed, but at that it ap-
pears to be bona6de guarantee bill
and carries with it the appreciation
OF Gov, Stubbs. The house commit.
tee considered an even dozen guaran.
tee bills out of which they framed
this measure. If any bill can be got.
ten through the legislature this is the
one. 1t comes as near satisfying all
parties as is possible where these
parties are so wide apart on the point
at issue. A radical bill could never
get over the shoals and besides is
not desired by the administration.
There will be a fight on this bill, too,
in both the house and the senate, but
it has a chance to weather the storm;
its enemies admit that, and they were
making no admissions at all before
this bill made its appearance.
