order to obtain that permission it's
incorporators have to comply with
such requirements as the govern
ment may impose, no matter how
rigid they may be; nor does it free
itself from the supervision of the
government then; it continues at
all times subject to its examination
and control and there is no limit to
the power of the government in
this respect, even to the extent of
closing the doors when conditions
justify it. In addition to that the
requirements to retain a reserve of
IS per cent of the deposits of a bank
and to prevent loaning more than
ten percent of the capital and STIR
plus to one person could be made
mandatory and not merely direc-
tory at present. Add to that the
civil liability Of stockholders to de-
positors for an amount equal to and
in excess Of the capital stock Of the
bank and the liability of the Off
GERS of the bank to criminal pros
ecution for ,nalconduct and the in
centive for wild cat banking
would be practically overcome,
More than that if each bank had to
bear its proportionate part of loss
in the event of a failure, there would
be hearty cooperation OF the
banks and bankers with govern
mcnt officials to see that the law

The fact thai the big bankers
are opposed to it is no objection i
the people in their wisdom demand
it. The bankers also oppose posta
savings bank though they seem tl
have proven quite success in Eu-
ropean countries.
In fact, Mr.. Festus J. Ward, in
the article above referred to, thinks
that the government ought not to
demand security for its depositors,
but he would have a hard time in
finding an audience to agree with
him, unless it was an audience Of
bankers The law in Florida, re-
curing security or guaranty for
banks for State depositors, was
only passed after the State had sus-
tanned pretty heavy loss by bank
failure. The county treasurer ca mt
receive cent of the peoples money
unless he has given a guaranty
bond to indemnity the people who
own the money, neither can the
city treasurer. How much more
sacred are the funds of the State or
the county or the city than are the
earnings of some poor woman, who
has shaved and shaved to have some
thing to keep her from becoming a
public burden in the evening of life
There is many dollar lying in the
vaults of banks that has been OBJ
tanned at sacrifice in order that it
may be available in an hour ofneed.
Why shouldn't the State see that
the depositor finds it where he puts
it, of banks are public institutions
and are made for man it seems to
me that it is the duty of the State
to do so if on the other hand man
is made for the banks then the
voice Of the people should be 81
fenced on the subject, and if the
bank survives he can get his money
when he calls for it, but if it per-
ishes he may have to wait seventeen
years for his fourth dividend of ten
per cent Of his deposits, which was
the case in Florida town, recently
brought to my attention.

GUARANTEE OF
BANK DEPOSITS

INTERESTING STATEMENT FROM HON
DON c. McMULLEN.
Some time ago it was stated that
in all probability Hon. Don c. Nc
Mullen, who will represent Hills
boro county in the next State Sen
ate, would introduce a bill in that
body Gazing for the passage of a
law guaranteeing bank deposits
similar to the Oklahoma law
Shortly afterward he received a
letter from Hon, John Trice, pres
ident of the Citizens Bank and
Trust Co., in which Mr.. Tricc EN-
phatically declared his opposition
to a bank deposit guarantee law,
Mr.. McMullen has made the fol-
lowing public reply to Mr.. Trice's
letter.
Tampa, Fla, Oct. -, 1908.
Mr.. John Trice, President Citizens
Bank and Trust Company,
Tampa, Fla.
NJ dear Sir herewith return
TO W the article on the subject of
"Guaranty of Bank Deposits by
Festus J. Wade, President of the
Mercantile Trust Co., of St. Louis.
I thank you for sending me the
article and have carefully read it.

was rigidiy and impartialiy en-
| forced
In support OF the contention
that there is no need for the guar
anty system the opponents point
out that during the past forty
years the loss to depositors in ma
tional banks has been only one
twenty-siXth Of one per cent OF the
total deposits. That is certainly a
creditable showing but it is no az
guinent against the guaranty law.
In fact, to my mind, it is an arSu-
ment in favor Of it. It cOntradiCts
the argument that the possible
drain on solvent and well managed
banks would be so great as to i'm
peril them under the guaranty
system. Moreover the guaranty of
bank deposits, as | understand it,
is not so much to indemnify the
depositors of a defunct bank, as it is
to establish confidence in the bank
ing system generally, and remove
the present rivalry for money be-
tween the banks and trust COM
panies on the one side and carpets,
stockings and old shoes on the other
side. with the latter class rapidly
gaining on the other during the past
twelve months. Not only are mil
lions of dollars tucked under car
pets and put away in old shoes and
stockings at hazard to the owners,
where it benefits nobody. but the
recent recommendation of the post
master general in favor of the fact
that many millions OF dollars go
annually from the United States to
European savings banks. If the
public felt that their funds were as
safe in our banks as they are in
private receptacles and foreign
savings institutions, hundreds of
millions of dollars would be called
out from hiding and started on
their mission of reviving PROSTATE
business, a condition brought about
not by the farmer who has his usual
crop for sale, not by the laborer
who is ready to give his honest
days toll to the development of the
resources OF the coun-
try, if he can find employment; not
by the merchant who is willing to
buy and anxious to sell, but very
largely by the failure of few banks

thetic tremor throughout the land
causing people to withdraw their
money from the banks and conse-
quently from circulation.
We might say that the people
should use judgment in selecting a
bank to deposit in; but what is to
be the criterion:
1t can't be the size of bank or
the volume Of business done by it
for the Knickerbocker Trust Com
pany that failed in New York last
fall was one of the largest banks of
the country. And it can't be the
age Of a bank for only a few years
ago one of the oldest banks in the
South failed in Macon, Ga, and it
was supposed to have been under
the management OF one of the veal
thicst and most conservative bust
ness men in that city.
No, sir; the selection Of a depoS-
tory is to a very small degree a
matter Of judgment and to a very
large degree a matter of faith; and
close governmental supervision
guaranty deposits would make for
a wonderful growth in faith and in
deposits.
1t is not that the depositor will
lose, for the chances that he will
are small, but that he's afraid that
he'll lose,

have not a fixed determination tc
introd' &C and endeavor to pass q
bill tt rough the Legislature pro
vidine for the guaranty OF bank de-
posts but am studying the ques-
ton with that end in view. The
constant criticism OF our tinanciers
upon our financial system and the
recent panic depressing and de-
moralizing the business OF the coun-
try, at a time Of unprecedented
prosperity, impresses one with the
idea that hange of some kind is
desirable if we hope for permanent
relief.
The constant agit ation and unrest
relative to our financial condition.
indicates that avery large element
of Our people want an amendment
of the present system or an entire
change that will make panics of
less frequcene and force. We have
hear dmuch of asset money and
"elastic currency" but guaranty Of
deposits is new,
1t doesn't necessarily follow that
it is a failure because it has never
been tried; the steamboat a hundred
years ago was not thing that any
careful capitalist cared to invest in
he'd shake his head and look wise
and talk about Fulton 5 folly"
Last week | was in Key West and a
naval officer told me that they
could send message to Washing
ton, D. c., and receive a reply in
fifteen minutes by wireless tele-
graph. But a few years ago
mans mental condition would have
been questioned if he had suggested
such a thing. 1t takes experiments
as we'll as experience to keep the
wheels of progress 'olling forward.
The article of Mr.. Wade and the
burden of all the argl nents that |
have seen in opposition o the guar
anty system are based upon about
three grounds, to-wit 1t would
encourage reckless banking; there
is no need for it; and the big bank
ers" do not want it.
TO the first objection there are
several answers. A bank is a
creature of the State or nation; it
