COMMEND BANK
GUARANTEE Law
Say That the Oklahoma Plan
Has Proven Its Worth

9y United Press Leased Special Wire.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, oct l.
frhat the Oklahoma bank guarantee
law has been severely tested and has
proved its worth is the opinion cx-
pressed by many bankers to-day fol-
lowing a statement that tho directors
of the suspended Columbia Bank and
Trust Company have submitted a
proposition 10 the state banking board
looking 10 a re-opening OF the con-
cern. Tho private depositors who had
funds in the bank have withdrawn
them and the only large deposits now
held according to a statement gener-
ally credited to-day, are reserve funds
of smaller Oklahoma state banks.
The drain OF the guarantee funds
of the state banking board has been
heavy. but it is declared there is still
sufficient sums on hand 10 meet any
demand on any Of the smaller hanks
forced to call for the reserve held by
the Columbia.
Among National bankers throughout
the state there has been considerable
criticism of the law and since the
suspension of the Columbia there has
been a revival Of the prediction made
when the guarantee law was suggest
ed that it would lead 20 loose bank
ing methods. The officials of that
institution stoutly maintain there has
been no overdraw by the officers. State
bankers in spite of a possible emerg-
ency assessment are taking a more
! optimistic view. They declare the test
given the new law has been the
severest that could be imagined. The
bank involved is one of the biggest
I'm the State and one whose failure
would mean the crash of other banks
They say that the fact that all the
other banks have been able to weather
| the storm also through the trouble Is
/ proof that the law is effective. Had
I the trouble they say come u little later
after the fund had been given a chance
I to grow from q regular assessment
there would have been no strain or
the banks at all.
The State bankers point also to the
| fact that the thing which bankers feai
most in a case Of such trouble-runs-
have practically been absent
