WASHINGTON. D. G.. Jan. As
one Of the leading opponents or the
bank deposit guarantee system, Sena-
tor Robert l.. Owen. OF Oklahoma. to-
day prepared for the United Press the
following statement of the effect OF
the decisions OF the United States

BY Senator Robert l.. Owen.
The decision Of the Supreme Court
OF the United States on the bank de-
post guarantee law OF Oklahoma, Kan
sas and Nebraska was very gratifying
to me. Those VINO opposed this law
guaranteeing the safety of bank de-
posits did so on the theory that to
compel one bank to contribute for
the safety of the deposits of another
was taking property without due pro-
cess of law.
The Supreme Court properly held
this argument invalid. and the Okla
homa position was confirmed as good
law.
The Oklahoma opinion is that bank
ing is public business; that tho
banker invites the public to deposit
its money, and that the State IN issu-

In Oklahoma we believe that the
banker who demands security for
money he lends to the public should
give security for money he receives
from the public. and the cheapest form

The fact In that the banks contribu-

deposits SO greatly increased by the
additional safety offered that it has
been very profitable TO them as a conn.,
mercial and financial proposition. the
Increased deposits earning many times
the cost of the small contribution to
the guaranty fund--the deposits of tha
State banks being nearly three times
what they were years ago, thus multi

deposits not so much for the beneut
Of the banks. or for the benefit of the

Financial panic is largely due to
