THE BANKING IMBRoGLIo.

| 1t appears that considerable of the
fuss which is being stirred up in the
banking circles of the state is uncalled
for and that it will serve no good pur-
pose. Most of it is the result of the
announcement by certain national
banks that they will be prepared to
pay as high as and per cent interest
on deposits which will be guaranteed
through the medium of the National
Bankers Deposit Insurance company.
State banks are naturally wrought up
over this because the state law for the
guaranteeing of bank deposits limits
to 3 per cent interest that banks
can pay on guaranteed deposits They
fear that the national banks which
agree to pay a larger per cent of inter-
est than the law allows to state banks
will take business away from them.
Many of the state banks are demand
ing that the governor call a special
session of the legislature to amend the
guarantee deposit law so as to put the
state banks on an equal footing with
the national banks.
But if a session of the legislature was
called probably the last thing it would
do would be to permit the state banks
to pay more than three per cent
on deposits. In the realms of conserva-
tive banking there is opposition to pay
ing a greater per cent of interest than
this. What the legislature would do.
though, in all probability would be to
pass legislation which would prohibit
the national banks from paying more
than 8 per cent on guaranteed deposits
OF course, a legislature has no author
ity over the operation of national
banks, but it has authority over the
insurance company, an organization in
corporated under the laws of the state,
which the national bankers have form
ed to guarantee deposits. It would be
easy enough for the legislature to pass
law prohibiting such an insuran ce
company from guaranteeing or insur-
ing deposits on which interest greater
than per cent is paid. 1t is under
stood that national bankers freely ad-
nit that the legislature could act in
this way, and it is likely to be the way 1t
will act at the next regular session
even if a special session is not called
to straighten out this banking tangle
Under these circumstances it would
appear to be rather futile for the ma
tionaI banks to agitate the payment of
more interest on guaranteed deposits
than it is possible for state banks to
pay and it ought to strike most per-
sons that it would be better for them
to start in and limit the interest on
their insured deposits to that provision
of the law governing the state banks.
