 Ramon Corral secretary of the d. terior, who is believed to have been selected by President Diaz as his suc- cessor, is extremely unpopular throughout the Republic.

BANKING ACT
 PASSED HOUSE Creates Office of Bank Ex- aminer and Inaugurates
 Optional Guaranty
CONTROLS ALL BANKS
Representative WarnOck Made Lengthy Appeal For His Pet
 Measure-Its Effect.

Little Rock, Ark, March 24.-With only six votes registered against it the Warnock bill providing for ne enactment of State banking law, the creation of the office of sta,e bank examiner and the inauguration of an optional guaranty deposits sys- tenn was passed by the House today following a gallant. fight made by the gentleman from Columbia for the passage of the measure. For more than an hour Mir. Warnock spoke in advocacy of the bill yesterday after noon, but no vote was reached until today.
 The bill provides that for the next eight years there shall exist a state banking department headed by a state bank examiner in general charge of all banks and trust comDa- nies, savings banks, etc., operated in the state. He shall exercise super vision even to the extent of liquidat- ing insolvent banks, determining when banks may be allowed to char ter, when they shall cease business because of poor management, etc., and being, in short, the arbiter of the rights of banks to operate in Arr kansas. He must be an experienced banker or person for number of years connected with the office of state or national comptroller, where his experience has given him unns- ual fitness for the position of bank examiner.
 Guarantee Fund is Provided.
 Under the bill a guaranty of de- posits fund is provided, the plan Of participating, however, being option al with the banks. They can come in or stay out but if they stay out they are liable to depositors in three times the amount of their capital stock.
 In coming in under the guarantee provision banks that are already or ganized or have been for more than a year pay 1 per cent, on their average daily balance for deposits of the previous year this going into a fund in care of the state bank exatiinef. After the first year the tax is only one-fourth of per cent of the aver age daily balances and whan the guaranty fund reaches $500 100 th4 tax on the banks stops until the amount drops below this figure. when an emergency tax of per cent may be levied.
 Banks hereafter organized pr that lave not been operating for year will pay per cent on the am1 mt of their capital stock and surplus in ol' der to be admitted as participating bank in the guaranty feature.
 Only 20 per cent of these amounts is paid directly into the state treas- ury to the credit of the banking fund, the remainder being held at the bank as a deposit subject to check by the state bank examiner.
 MT. Warnock stated in explaining this provision of the bill thHt in Kansas, where the plan has been in force for some time, more than 200 of the 600 banks in the stltl have come into the participating circle

The Panama Canal Bonds.

The bill authorizing the issue of Pan

privilege, upon which the Secretary of
the Treasury lays great stress, is opposed
chiefly upon the ground that it will be
helpful to the national banks. This is
true, because it will prevent a real in

alton of the per cents held by the
banks as security for their note issues.
There has already been considerable loss
from such depreciation. due partly to
the general state of the bond market
Why should anybody desire, however,
to have further loss inflicted upon the
national banks? They are not respon-

are organized and compelled to operate.
They have prohted at times from the

There must be many cities, towns, and
