Comptroller Murray Takes Oppo.

Washington, April Attorney
General Wickersham gave a hearing
TO the governor and other officials
OF Kansas on the question of the
right Of national banks to participate
In the benefits and assessments of the
bank guaranty fund created by re,
cent law of that state, upon the same
terms and conditions as apply to state
banks. On behalf of the state it was
contended that the inhibition of the
bank act against national banks
guaranteeing the obligations Of anoth-
er bank did not apply to the case in
question.
Comptroller Murray takes a direct
ly opposite view of the whole ques-

decisions OF the courts for the last
forty years clearly prohibit national
banks from in any way guaranteeing
the obligations OF another bank or a
third party by contract or by a spe.

property.
In reply to the statement that an
adverse ruling on the question: in.

OF Kansas to surrender their CHARTER ;
and go into the state system. Comp,
troller Murray states that the facts
as to the operation of the Oklahoma
law prove the contrary In that state,
he asserts, the national banks are In
