proposition to have surety companies
guarantee the deposits of national
banks, in Texas, Kansas. Nebraska,
and Oklahoma. in order to meet the
situation presented by the State guar
antee law there, and the refusal OF
the Government to permit its nation
al banks to take advantage Of that
plan. is TO be brougbt~to a speedy
conclusion, became known today.
The national banks in the States
mentioned are suffering loss because
the State banks are making heavy in
roads into their business and they
have notified the surety coml--anies
