Feminine beauty is a poor substitute

Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1909-10-14

The opponents of the Guaranty Law, in
con JUNCTION with certain newspapers, have
been making many unfair and untrue state
meuts, recently, in regard to the Guaranty
Law. They state that on recent date forty
five banks had qualified under the Guaranty
Law, and certificates issued, and So, $40 90 in
assessments paid, and that the amount of de-
posts guaranteed is 81, 900. The facts are,
that at that time there was the above amount
paid in, which, under the law, could be in
creased to five times that amount by assess
ments ordered by the Bank Commissioner,
should occasion require. There were at that
time also deposited by these forty-five banks
$4,000 90 of bonds and cash, as provided for
under the Bank Depositors' Guaranty Law.
The records show that during the past
forty years the average net loss to depos1tors
through failed banks has not been to exceed
20 per cent of the deposits at the date OF fail
ure, or in other words, four-hfths of the de-
posits of fa1led banks have been paid to de-
positors.
Chas G. Dawes, ex-Comptroller of the Cur
rency, and Chas. N. Fowler, Chairman of the
U. S. House of Representatives Banking Com
mittee, have spent much time investigating
the subject of guaranteeing bank deposits,
and they (probaby the best authority IN this
country on this subject), both agree that the
average losses through bank failures IN the
United States since the organization OF the
national banking system has been one-twenty
fifth of l per cent, or 40 cents per 100000
per annum.
Chas. n. Fowler, in his report, touches on
, the Guaranty Fund proposition, and after
careful estimates, makes this statement IN
his report ''An annual tax of one-hfth of
one-ffth of per cent, which is one-tWenty
fifth of | per cent, would cover the losses OF
depositors through bank failures each year.
This is the amount required, say the ex-
perts, to absolutely guarantee the payment
of all deposits held by failed banks
The records of the Kansas Banking De-
partment show that less than 40 cents per
100000 will pay the net losses of all deposits
in failed State Banks [ do not think small
er amount would pay the net losses OCCASION
ed through the failure of national banks, as
the records show that the net losses through
failures of national banks in Kansas have
been much greater than the losses through
failed State Banks.
Now as to the solvency and the absolute
sufficiency of the provisions of the Kansas
Guaranty Law, will state that the hrst as
sessment of oDe-twentieth of per cent, which
is so cents per 100000, is IS per cent more
than the required amount as shown by the
banking records for the past forty years to
pay all the net losses for that period of time.
In addition to this, the Legislature very

more money each year than can ever possibly

the recent fires. They

one farmer, who came here in the
very early days of the county and
staid with his claim who could not
be duplicated outside of the county.
This man without the rudiments of
an education lame here and with no
cash to back him filed on land. At
that time he could get three quar-
tiers, and did get two. He could
not speculate for he had neither the
money nor the ability. SO he just
worked and took what he could get.
He lived, and for years did nothing
more. At last he had few COWS
and horses, and then better build
ings. Today his home is not pala-
tial, but it is comfortable, and his
bank account may not be large but
he is comfortable in his old age and
his land is worth 100000.

us as peculiar in that
much discussed document. That is,
that wherever it benefited the trusts
and New England manufacturers to
have a lower rate the low rate went
in, that as in the case of hides and |
shoes, there was decided lowering
of the rate on hides, which hit the
farmer on his good eye, but that on
shoes and manufactured articles
using tanned hides the reduction is
hard to find. With the result that
a steer sells for less than he would
