BANK GUARANTEE
LAW is SUCCESS
J. B. Boos, Oklahoma, Tells
How People of State Like
the Law.
HAS INDICATED BRYAN
Effort to Show a Horrible Example
Results in q Rank
Failure.

when any one tells you that the
bank guarantee law is not good thing
for the people, either he is ignorant or
else he is seeking deliberately to de-
ceive you," ]. B. Boos, business man
Of Oklahoma City, Okla, stopping at
the New Harper, said today to an Ar
gus representative.
81 predict that 1t will be only few
years until this law Is adopted gener-
ally in the United States. 1t is just
what the people long have wanted, and
if the people keep pegging away long
enough as a rule they accomplish what
rhey go after.
Bryan HOOted.
'You will recall that the republicans
and the banking interests of the ma
ton hooted the idea when it was
preached by William ]. Bryan as a
plank in the national democratic plat
form at the last presidential election.
AS in other new policies, framed for
the good of the people, Mr.. Bryan has
lived to see a practical demonstration
of the virtues of this law Too. be-
lieve he will live to see a president
actment declaring for this law for the
whole nation.
THE eyes of the world were on Okla
homa when that state adopted the
bank guarantee law. State bankruptcy
was predicted. There was a conspir-
acy framed to discredit the law. The
biggest bank in Oklahoma City was
chosen as the horrible example. Its
securities were attacked. there was a
run, and it was published broadcast
that the institution had gone to the
wall
State to the Rescue.
well, it had to all exterior appear
ances. Inside "a hours the state bank
ing commissioner was on the ground.
He brought along $15O,OOO from the
state reserve fund, created for just
such an emergency by assessment of
the state banks. and announced that
he was prepared to pay dollar for dol
lar on the deposit records of the bank.
This had the desired result. The run
was stayed. The people had confidence
in the state, even though their conf
dence in the bank had been shaken.
Well. to abbreviate, as we do in Okla
homa, the bank is again on it's feet and
is doing a bigger business than ever
The attempt at making a horrible ex-
ample of it to discredit the new law
failed
Prevents Validating.
Under this law, the state is behind
the depositor who places his money in
the state chartered banks. OF course,
this does not cover the national banks.
The first move, after the enactment of
the law, IS to call upon each Of the
state banks for an assessments Ger
tain percentage of their capitalization.
This money is held in trust by the
state. II there is a failure, a portion
, of this reserve is applied to care for

ROAD MUSTACCEPT
Judge Barker Rules Against the
Milwaukee in Coal Con-
troversy.
HAD REFUSED SHIPMENTS
Fuel Consignments Originate at
Points on Burlington-An In
teresting Suit.

A question which has been agitating
the coal mining industry and the local
dealers in the fuel for months past has
been partially set at rest by the decis-
ion rendered by Judge Barker at Dav-
export against the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul railroad. In this de
cision, on the legal status Of the rail
road to refuse shipments of coal from
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy at
Davenport for other points in the
state, Judge Barker has ruled that an
| injunction as asked by the dealers be
granted and that the road be restrain
ed from refusing to accept such ship
ments Of coal loaded IN another's rail-
road yard. In handing down the de-
cision Judge Barker, in commenting on
the question of interstate commerce
legislation, says:
Interstate Character.
1T is the destination prescribed at
the time of shipment and not the point
OF origin that determines the inter
state character of the shipment. In
a sense, and perhaps in railroad par
lance, it is of course true that the ship
ment over the Milwaukee originated in
Davenport, that is, the contract with
that company, If it accepted the car,
would be for transportation beginning
at that place.
I'm another sense, however, the ship
ment originated at the point where the
coal was loaded upon the Burlington
cars. the separate billings over the two
roads being each Independent but both
a part of the entire shipment from ORR
gin to destination.
Same Reasons Apply.
THE same reasons for requiring de-
fendant to take this coal in the Bur
lington cars apply in this case as
would apply If these cars were offered
to it at some point where the two lines
cross in the interior of the state.
ct am OF the opinion, therefore, that
an injunction be allowed; as to just
what Il should provide can be decided
upon the further hearing which it was
agreed should be had should 1t hold
that had no jurisdiction to award the
count"
