BY SENATOR ROBERT /. OWEN.
Copyright, 1911, by the United Press
Assoc iations.

The decision of the supreme court
OF the United States on the bank de-
post guarantee law of Oklahoma,
Kansas and Nebraska was very graft
flying 10 me. Those who opposed this
law guaranteeing the safety OF bank
deposits, 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
h ia position was confirmed.
The Oklahoma opinion is that bank
ing is a public business, that the BANK
er invites the public 10 deposit its
money and that the state in issuing
charter places the proper safeguard
about banker TO protect the public
as well as the banker
In Oklahoma. we believe that the
banker who demands security for
ioney he lends 10 the public should
give security for money he receives
from the public. and the cheapest form
OF insurance is the guarantee fund.
contributed by the banks in proper
ton 10 the deposits and which prac-
tically gives insurance at absolute
cost, and this cost is almost a negli-
CHILE quantity
The fact is that the banks contrib
uting this insurance fund have had
their deposits SO greatly increased by
the additional safety offered. that IL
has been very profitable TO them as a
commercial and financial proposition,
the increased deposits earning many
times the cost OF the small contribu
ton 10 the guaranty fund-the depos
its OF the state banks being nearly
three times what they were three
years ago. thus multiplying the earn
ing power OF the banks.
Twelve years ago in the public
press | urged the guarantee OF public
deposits, not so much for the benefit
Of the banks, or for the benefit of the
depositors, as for the stability OF
commerce-the prevention OF panics.
Financial panic is largely due TO the
timidity OF certain class of deposit
ors who upon the least alarm in the
public press secretly withdraw de-
posits for boarding.
4, ing the banks and trust {, M
panies as a whole, their deposits will
average ten times their total cash,
so that IL five per cent Of the deposit
ors should withdraw for boarding. it
would suddenly take out OF the banks
one-half of their cash. ard when the
banks become frightened there is
panic in the land. which tremendously
disturbs every line OF business, para
Ives commerce, and the productive
energies of the nation.
To prevent panics and establish
tranquility in financial affairs and TO
insure stability in commerce and bust
ness. the bank guaranty law OF Okla
homa properly perfected should be
adopted by every state in the union
md by the national banking system,
50 that every depositor will have the
safeguard OF bank guaranty fund be
hind his deposit. So that he would
have the assurance that If any banker
or bank went wrong his deposit would
he Immediately paid nevertheless.
