State guaranty of bank de-
posits will be one of the big
questions to come before the
next session of the legislature.
Already a bill has been thorough
ly drafted by A. w. Orton Of
Multnomah, and has been sub
mitted to the banking committee
of the Oregon State Grange. The
measure has been gone over care
fully and a second draft of the
measure has been prepared and
this is now being sent to the diff
ferent local oranges throughout
the state for their suggestion and
approval. 'Che bill will be pre-
pared in time for the opening of
the legislature and will be backed
by the state grange, which will
make the enactment of the law
one of the chief objects during
the coming session. 1t has been
decided to confne the provisions
to the question of bank guaranty
alone, leaving other amendments
of the existing banking law to
other bills. This will be done in
order that the guaranty plan
may not be embarrassed or
hampered by some objectional
clause or provision relating to
other bank legislation. The
main purpose and intent of the
law is set out in the first two
sections of the proposed bill,
which set the time for the law
to become operative and pre-
scribe the manner of the oper-
alton of the law.
