FARMER CITIZEN HAS
FINE BOND ARGUMENT
SHOWS HOW BOND ISSUES
MAKES TAXES LESS INSTEAD
OF LARGER.

X. H. Reed. one OF the substantial
citizens Of Carter county. was here
yesterday from Brock. In speaking
of the county bond election which
has been called Tor the II of Aug
ust. MIR Reed said he hoped very
much to see the bonds carry Con
tinuing he said. In old oklahoma
the farmers have had good up-
portunity to learn the difference be.
tween direc; and extended taxation.
In those counties they tried to get
along by paying as they 20. They
would not issue bonds but demands
ed upon making the tax levy heavy
enough to meet the demands Of the
county. As a result the taxes be.
came so high that the Old timers
bonds their taxes would have been
much less. they could have had bet
ter Improvements and the bonds
could have been paid off by the next
generation when the farms would
have been highly developed and In.
dustries established so that the
amount would have not been fclt by
the average taxpayer
Mr. Reeds talk was the finest
argument that could be made for
the bonds with the bonds voted
the taxes will be lower than If they
are not voted In order to ascertain
II this statement is true compare
the tax assessment necessary 10 pay
the interest on the bonds with the
assessment that is required 10 inn
prove the roads by direct taxation
when YOU have done this you will
be- strong advocate of the road
and bridge bonds

HEARING ON KANSAS BANKING Law
State Delegation Defends Guarantee System
Before Attorney General Wickersham.

Washington. March 8.-Attorney General Wick
ersham to-day gave a hearing 10 Governor Stubbs
and other officials Of Kansas the question OF tho
fits and assessments OF the bank guarantee fund
created by recent law Of that state upon the
terms and conditions apply to state
banks. Tho Kansas bank deposit guarantee. il is
said contains certain provisions limiting liability
which do not exist IN the Oklahoma law. the terms
could not be legally accepted by national banks.
What the Kansas Law really did said the states
advocates 10 allow national and state bank
ing institutions enter into arrangement by
which each bank. in effect. insured its own depos-
itors against loss. As the apparent conflict be
tween the national bank act and the Kansas law
regarding recevershps. It cOntended on be-
half Of the that the state requirement that
the State Bank Commissioner should close up the
affairs OF failed banks wholly administrative,
and that the State Bank Commissioner could per-
nit the Controller Of the Currency 10 assume
charge of failed national banks.
Controller Murray insisted that the statutes and
the decisions courts for the last forty years
clearly prohibited national banks from in any way
guaranteeing the obligations OF another bank or
a third party. In reply to the statement that an
adverse ruling the questions involved would
force the national banks of Kansas TO surrender
their charters and go into the state system. Mr..
Murray said that the facts TO the operation of
the Oklahoma law proved the contrary.
