BANKERS
PREPARE A BILL

When the legislature meets in eN-
ira session next month, or the month
after, or the month before county
convention time, there will be de-
veloped a wide divergence of opinion
between the State Bankers associa-
tion and the adherents of Governor
Shafroth's policy as to bank guar
anty measure.
The state bankers have had a bill
prepared, copy of which they have
sent the governor. urging its excel
lencies upon his careful considera-
tion.
The governor is looking far afield
for his inspiration and has declared
himself against the bankers bill be-
cause of its failure to have any pro-
vision for guaranteeing the deposit
ors. He agrees that there are many
excellent features in the bill and If a
guaranty clause should be added he
would support it, but he would write
the guaranty section himself.
For the past few weeks the gov
ernor has been in correspondence
with state officials and with bankers
in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Ne
braska. He has copies of the laws
of all those states and from them he
purposes writing a bill to submit 10
his extra session.
The Texas law is favored by the
governor because 1t is so drawn that
the objection found by the United
States circuit court cannot be laid
against it. Option is given the banks
of subscribing to the assessment for
the guaranty or of insuring their de-
posits by n bond
In .
the most prominent bankers in Kan
sas the statement is made that at the
last session of the Kansas legislature
not ten votes could be mustered
against the bank guaranty law. The
bankers committee. after careful
canvass, was able to find only two
men who would pledge themselves to
vote against the measure.
Governor Shafroth hopes that when
the Colorado Legislators meet they
will be of mind similar to the Kansas
solons.
In the Middle West states the chief
objection to the bank guaranty law
came from the national banks which
were not affected directly by the
measure. The smaller state banks
charge that the postal savings bank
law, now before congress, is a scheme
on the part of the national banks to
put them out of business.
It is admitted by the state bankers
that the postal savings banks would
cut into their business largely and
the savings of the people deposited
in the postal banks would finally be
