4 GUARANTEE OF DE
POSIrS
BANK.
fiH1 ms SO

st. Peter Free Press. Rep. The
guarantee law Of bank deposits in
Oklahoma has been severely criticised
and pronounced as impractical,
visionary and dangerous The larger
banks of the country are almost
unanimous in predicting that the
scheme will prove failure, with
disastrous results. Besides they hold
that it is not only radically wrong to-
COMPEL strong hanks, with good
business reputation, to secure the
deposits of weak banks with no
standing. but that such a law is
anarchistic in it's nature and bound
to undermine the very foundation of
sound and safe fnanciering.
This SOUNDS very plausible on it's
face, yet is there not another side to
it, Is it not fact that one of the
principles upon which safe financier-
ing is based is good securltiess The
government demands security on its
deposits, the banker on his notes, the
capitalist on his investments, and
very properly so. The deposition
alone, with his billions of dollars OF
cash money, has to be content with
the mere promise to pay. The
system is all wrong and has caused
untold sutterings when least expected.
It the Oklahoma system is too
socialistic and sweeping other ways
! and means can be devised to &C.
complish the ends sought. But even
under that system panic has been
! averted recently that under former
conditions might have swept over the
whole state.
One of the large banks of that
state, carrying deposits to the amount
| and rumor had it that it would be
unable to meet is obligations. What
was the result? If the same thing
had happened to any of the big banks
in the twin cities. it would have
precipltated run at once and
perhaps would have caused the clos
ing of the bank, entailing great loss
to depositors and shaking the con.
fidence of the people generally.
Nothing of that nature occurred here.
The depositors knew that their
money was safe, whether the bank
went under OF not AS soon as it
became evident that the bank was
shaky the state bank commissioner
took charge. Everyone who wanted
his money got it dollar for dollar the
guarantee fund being used for that
! purpose. There was no run of any
consequence and business could be con-
tinued as before.
| Big banks are still hostile to tie
| bank deposit guarantee. but among
! the people of Oklahoma this incident
has made it one Of the most popular
laws in the state. $50

The following is from Judge Ander-
son, who discharged the editors who
published an article which inferred
that there was something rotten in
the purchase of the Panama canal
strip, and which persons the govern
ment wanted brought before the
courts in the District of Columbia:
Il am OF the opinion that the fact
that certain persons were called
thieves and 'swindlers' does not
constitute libel per SO. A newspaper
has certain duty to perform. AS
a former president said, 1T is the
duty of newspaper to print the
news and to tell the truth about it, =
It IS the duty of newspaper to draw
differences for the people.
THAT man has read the history OF
our institutions to little purpose, who
does not view with apprehension the
success of such a proceeding as this
to the end that citizens could be
dragged from their homes to the Dis
trict of Columbia, the seat of govern
ment, for trial under the circumstance
of this case The defendants are dis
charged. ~. s. Judge Anderson.

In the making of tariff law, one

have to pay as customs duties would
be $500, but if it were sugar he would
pay $788. 70 tax on 81, 600 worth.

tariff tax, but if he brought In 81, 600

BACK TO THE LAND.

For years past there has been con-
tinuous drift from country to city.
but now it is hoped that the improved
social prices obtained for farm produce
will turn the tide or at least check
the flow. Smaller farms, extensive
and more intelligent farming with
corresponding increased yield per acre,
better roads and further improvements
in rural social life will, with the
growing acuteness of the struggle for
existence in the cities, lead to better
balancing of rural and urban popula-
ton. -CottonwcO Current.

they are temporary; the main stream

always be used for the upbuilding of
every state, and should never be
