steps were taken TO register the civic

passed the depositors' guaranty law,
as affecting the conduct of state
banks, the sole and single purpose
was to protect the depositor. The
efficacy Of the law has been put to
actual test by the failure of bank,
for liabilities that, under certain
financial conditions, might have
created considerable trouble. With
out any fuss that institution has
been taken in hand by the state
board created by the guaranty law;
the depositors are being paid prompt
ly; and it is said reorganization
will follow, and the bank will again
be doing business without serious
loss to anybody.
This result of the first test of the
law is quite at variance with what
was freely predicted by the banking
fraternity in other sections of the
country. These gentlemen enter
tanned serious doubt if the law would
stand any test worthy of the name;
many of them were positive in their
assertions that it would not But it
has. and the anti-guaranty fellows
have another prediction coming
A point that seems to be over
looked by those who oppose the de-
post guaranty system-or at least by
some OF them-is the strict super
vision which the Oklahoma law en-
joins. Under that act a bank is not
allowed to continue in devious
ways to the final condition OF utter
rottenness before d halt is called,
and it must demonstrate its ability
to discharge its deposit liabilities.
This is the weak spot in the bankers
argument that the Oklahoma guaran-
ty system encourages the incompetent
and dishonest banker at the expense
of the honest and competent one. 1t
is in a considerable measure a pro-
lection to the banking business as a
whole 1t is demonstrated in Okla
homa that it has brought out more
money for deposit than would have
gone into the banks under the old
system; and naturally So because
the dominant feature in the system is
safety for the depositor. Aside from
this. it is clearly apparent in the test
of the one suspected bank that ali
financial nervousness has been avert
ed in that region. and the banking
business as a whole has been bene-
fted rather than harmed by the Oper-
alton of the law.
But above these advantages is the
benefit to the deposition who de-
serves. by all odds, to be the party
OF first consideration. This latter
point is put beyond reasonable dis
pute: and the advantage of il from.
the public. view point should more
than counterbalance what the ambi-
tious banker loses in opportunity to
outrun his fellows in the financial
race.

The candidates nominated On the
fusion ticket are worthy of support.
The ticket is already in the field. If
we nominate another ticket both tic
