Constitutionality of Guarantee De
posits.

YVoASos
"What the depositors want to
know is that their deposits are Sc
cure; that they can get their money
when they call for it. This legis-
lation is intended to afford them
that assurance"
This was the burden of a print
ed argument filed in the Supreme
Court of the United States by
Charles o. Whedon on behalf of
the State of Nebraska in defense
of the constitutionality of the stat
ute guaranteeing deposits in banks
OF that State. Oral arguments on
the validity of this law and SINH
lar enactments in Oklahoma and
Kansas will be heard by the Su-
preme Court either just before or
Immediately after the Christmas
holidays.
The statute is defended against
the attack that it conflicts with the
Declaration of independence and
the Nebrask constitution in that it
interferes with the right to pursue
happiness, including the pursuit
of any lawful vocation.
Necessarily the individual must
surrender some of his rights to So
ciety." it is argued in the brief,
''and he surrenders the most valu-
able of all the so-called inalienable
rights when he comedies the rights
OF society to deprive him of life
and liberty when he violates it's
rules"
Mr.. Whedon holds that it had
been left to the States to deter.
mine what tends to promote not
only the public health and morals,
but the public welfare as we'll.
