LINCOLN, Neb., oct. S.-(Special.)-At a
conference with 1. L. Albert. G. o.. Whedon
and Attorney General Thomson, held in
the office of the governor this afternoon,
1t was decided to at once prepare an APP
peal to the United States supreme court
in the case Of the bank guaranty law
enacted by the democratic legislature and
declared illegal by the state supreme court.
The enactment OF this law was in re-
Spouse to the promise OF the democratic
party to provide a fund by which depositors
in state banks would have their money
absolutely guaranteed 30 that each de-
positor would get his money Immediately
after a failure, even II not before. Under
the law Il was provided that the governor
should do all Of the appointing Of bank
examiners and the others who were to
draw pay. To guarantee the $40, 000, 900 or
whereabouts on deposit in the state banks
It was possible to raise some $4,000 an
nuslly.
But the state Of Nebraska will not soon
forget the passage OF the law even II It Is
knocked out before It was ever enforced.
The cost in the case in the district court
was taxed against the defendants, meaning
the state banking board, which failed to
connect with the strong box, and thus the
state will a to foot the bill. Now II
the supreme court Of the United States
afflrms the decision of the district court
that will be that much money the state
will have to pay for trying to work out
one Of Mr.. Bryan's theories.
The fact that the Oklahoma banking
law is now pending in the supreme court
is looked for most any time, might have
settled the Nebraska case, had no effort
on the governors attorneys. He favored
going ahead with the game and permitting
the state to run the risk OF paying out con-
siderable more hard cash.
The appeal will be perfected at once and
the case filed in the highest tribunal in
the court within a short time.
