make no apology for touching
this subject in the pulpit, for the
morality of the whole state Is in
volved in the open attempt to in
duce honorable men to violate sol
emn pledges openly made to us as
voters. And as one of those who
was induced TO vote for the State
mont No. men~because of the prin-
ciple for which they stood, main
tain that all the people OF Oregon
cannot release them from their
pladge to me or to any other voter.
1t is a personal agreement with each
individual voter; and there is but
one way to get discharged from the
solemnity of that pledge, and that is
to do what was agreed.

about commo nmorality as n friend

inquired OF an old German, Where

All / claim is that legislators
elected on one specific promise
should make good on that. We can
have no other opinion OF the moral
ity OF the reputation OF solemn

GUARANTY LAW INVALID.
Federal Court So Holds In Nebraska
Case.

Lincoln, Neb Oct 1S-The Nebras-
ka state bank deposit guaranty law
was declared unconstitutional and
void in the federal court. The deci-
sion was rendered by Circuit Judge
Vandeventer and District Judge Thos.
H. Munger.
The basic principle Of the compul-
sorry guaranty law is the enforced con-
tribution by each bank to a common
fund to pay losses of failed banks.
The court held that this was depriving
a person Of his money to pay the
debts of another, and was taking 1t
from him without due process of law,
thereby violating the constitutional
guaranty of rights.
The court expressly stated in the de-
cree that 1t leaves undecided two 9th
er questions. One is whether the state
can restrict banking business to cor
porations and bar out individuals. anc
the other was whether the implied
powers of the Nebraska constitution
permit this arbitrary amendment O
charters previously granted to per
sons and corporations to restrict then
alone to corporations.
The state will appeal to the su
preme court of the United States.
