SOUND
Banks Would Suffer If This
Bill Becomes A Law

Ohio bankers are distributing cir
culars attacking the guaranty oil
bank deposits. The circulars are
aimed at the Hillenkamp bill now be-
fore the legislature.
The principal of state guaranty OF
bank deposits is denounced in the cir
cular as tax on sound banks to pay
the losses of poorly and dishonesty
managed banks, and says that 1t will
ultimately lead to concentration and
monopoly in banking or to demoral-
ization. The idea that it will prevent
financial panics is denied.
One of the strongest points urged
against the bill is that 1t will lead
careful and conservative banks to
lower their interest rate paid to de-
positors and lead those that are in
clined 10 take chances in offering all
kinds of alluring rates to attract de-
posits under the plea that any bank
will be as safe as any other. This Is
the real danger point, according to
local bankers.
Banks would be organized to further
/, the business interests Of their pro-
moters. Interest rates as high as
or per cent could be offered be-
cause of the guaranty and deposits
would be inclined to drift from the
safe and conservatively managed in
stitutions paying lower rate to those
less carefully managed and paying a
high rate OF interest.
"This." the circular reads, would
gradually undermine the ethical stand.
ards and conservative principles OF
even the most careful bankers. II
the people believe that because Of the
guaranty, all banks were equally
sound, they would deposit in the banks
offering the greatest inducements, re
gardless of the personnel of the direct
crate or the condition of the instt
tuition. Stable, conservative banks
gradually would lose deposits, unless
they we're willing to materially modify
their conservative practices. The
confidence of the community and 6
reputation for integrity and ability
would no longer be essential to prof
table banking.

unsound banks into absolutely soiven
institutions"

WILL REDEEM PLEDGE

The failure of the Ohio senate thus
far to enact bill for the direct cleo
Il, n of United States senators does
not mean that the plank In the party
platform promising the enactment Of
such a measure will be disregarded.
Two bills, one by Senator Stockwell
embracing the Oregon plan OF elect
ing senators, the other by Senator
Dore providing for party nominations,
have been pending, and the Demo
cratic senators have been unable to
unite on one of the measures.
There is objection to that feature
of the Oregon plan bill which under
certain conditions would compel a
Democratic legislator to vote for a
Republican for United States sena-
tor, or under opposite conditions
would force a Republican legislator
TO vote for a Democratic nominee for
senator.
The advocates OF the Stockwell
Oregon plan bill assert the Dore bill
with it's party nominations, and the
legislators only bound to vote for par.
ty nominees, does not go far enough
to comply with the party pledge. Ad'
vocates of the Dore bill say faith will
be kept with the people by enacting
this measure. This is the Issue.
The Dore bill was defeated In the
senate by a decisive vote and further
consideration of it Is useless. The
Stockwell bill Is in the hands OF the
senate committee on privileges ant
elections. The senate will either en-
act this or some other measure which
will comply with the platform pledge
that pending a federal constitutions
amendment for the direct election ol
United States Senators, we promise
the enactment of Democratic leg
islature of law 30 fair that public
sentiment will enforce It,"
Throughout-the fight. over the meas
ures, both sides expressed their will
ingness to enact into laws every plat
form pledge, and nothing has trans
pired to indicate that the Democratic
legislature will break faith with tn
people.
