The failure Of the Columbia Bank
& Trust Company OF Oklahoma City,
the largest State bank in Oklahoma
says The Financial World, has turned
the enthusiasm OF bankers in that
commonwealth for a deposit guaranty
law into disgust. When 1t touches
their profits, as It did in this case, by
an extraordinary assessment to pro-
tect depositors Of the embarrassed in
stitutions 1t does not take long to
convince that the scheme of State
insurance against dishonest or reck-
less banking is a hair-brained one,
and to assure the successful operation
OF it can only be accomplished by
a heavy tax ON honest and conserya-
tive bankers. A few more State
bank failures in Oklahoma viii
change the present feeling to an out
right clamor that the law, which
should never have been enacted, be
al once repealed.
In Nebraska the Federal court has
sounded the death-knen for Bryan's
pet scheme Of guaranteeing bank
deposits by law. The court has de-
clared the State law unoopstitution-
al and void, thus upholding the claim
OF The Financial World at the time
it was advocated that 1t was illegal
TO compel solvent banks to pay the
losses of failed banks. as 1t deprived
the stockholders. who were not in
terested in the bankrupt institutions,
Of their money without their consent
to pay the debts of other institutions

violates the constitutional guaranty
Of rights.
The test of the case in Oklahoma
already proving 1t failure, and the
Federal courts adverse decision of
the Nebraska law, not only forecasts
the end of the scheme in these States,
but will likewise tend to discourage
agitation in other States for such a

by Gainesville people, is rapidly as
Stunning proportions on basis
which makes the stock at least
noticeable, as the enterprise has
been on a paying basis ever since
the first wire Of only a few miles
was stretched.
But not content with a small sys-
TEN, the East Florida has gradually
extended its service until the system
comprises now nearly two hundred
miles, including the branch lines, as
the service was completed to Dade
City, one hundred and twenty miles
distant to the south, and only forty
miles this side Of Tampa, a few days
ago, and now the business man OF
Gainesville is at liberty to converse
with his brother of South Florida
over one continuous line.
( This system, which has proved OF
great value to the merchants and
others of this section, has gradually
encroached upon South Florida ter
ritory, Notwithstanding the oppOsi-
ton OF competitive companies, until
today the East Florida controls more
wires than any other independent
company of the kind in the country.
This line will prove of great benefit
during the coming endurance automo-
bile run from Tampa to Jacksonville.
as it will keep our people posted on
the movement and whereabouts OF the
various machines from the minute
ehey leave Tampa until they reach
Gainesville. The line extends direct
to Dade City, where connection is
made with the line from Tampa, and
messages will be received here at
regular intervals.
This will be gratifying news to
those who have manifested enthusi-
asm in the race, but who will be un-
able to accompany the machines.
