STABILITY OF
 ARKANSAS BANKS Warnock Bill to Be Initiat. ed With a Vi3W to Secure Deposits in Arkansas. ONCE PASSED HOUSE Bill Greatest q State Bank Department

ONCE PASSED HOUSE
Bv CLIO HARPER )

l. tile Rock, March 1I-Ihefe IS nothing that so yitally affects the per- sonal and business interests of the public as the stability of the banks, and the security of deposits. It has long been recognized by depositors as well as by the bankers themselves, that in order to guarantee this, an adequate state banking law is imper3- tive.
 Representative E. s. Warnock, ot Columbia county, attempted to secure the enactment of such a law by the last legislature, and although sue ees:ful in the House, it was tabled Ill the Senate Believing that this afblt- rary action did not meet the approval of the people the author of the bill has decided to initiate the measure to be voted upon by the people in September
 Mr. Warnock has had printed one thousand copies 3f the petition which are being circulated throughout the state, and anyone interested, and who would like to devJte little time to the work, may secure blank petitions by addres sing him at Magnolia. There must by May 9 be in the hands of the secretary Of state petitions bearing nearly 13,000 signatures to secure the reference of the bill to the people of the state, and Mir. Warnoek says that the encouragement he is receiving in sures the success 5f the movement
 Ia order to ascertain the feeling of the people on the subject, MT. War neck sent to bankers and all members of the lalst two Legislatures, let ter asking their opinion, and all but one cut of sfxty-s.x replies received endorsed the plan. A number of them are circulating the petiti5ns during tsleir campaigns for reelection this month.
 No O0ther Relief in Sight.
 "E have fully arrived at the conclus ion that if Arkansas ever gets a bank ing law tllst will give full protection to the depositor and the people, says Mir. Warnock, .it will have to come through the initiative route"

 MT. WaTEock, who is himself a banker, being pre-. ident Of the Farm CTS Bank and Trust Company of Mag EGiia, with paid up capital stock Of $50 000, presents the following argu- g1cnts III support Of the proposed act:
 The system of banking carried on under tEis proposed measure would De Invaluable, not only 10 the depositors ard the general public, but to tne banker as we'll.
 I. It VII add stability to the banks and eomme. ce, thereby eliminating any fear of the tim.d depositors. This class Of depos.tors will be thus en- cour2ged mt to hoard away money, but to deposit in secured banks.
 z. It will bring from hiding and put into actual circulation millions Of unheard of money. For this proof, lite you to Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas nd Colorado. Oklahoma deposits lreb ed witain twelve months.
 8. The interest on depc sits is finn iled and restricted, Jhus preventing any wildcat banking by improper so- licitations for deposits
 A, By creating a greater and more permanent circulation of our curren- cy, it would naturally have tendency D a keener competitor for loans Thereby a lower rate of interest might De expected thus benefitting the bor- rowers as well as the depositor
 8. Ope:5ting under the provisions s of tais bill would make our currency so secure that a money panic would be che of the inb1 possibilities. Thero- fore, the man who IS neither deposi- tor nor a borI over, but Who is a pro- ducer Of something to sell, would be benefited. This class were the real sufferers during the panic of 1907. And an5tAer who might be put in this class is the man whc sells his daily toll fer q livelihood for his wife and children. Daily labor cannot be sold unless there be something to pay for it. Thus 1t is, t.ss class is the hardest hit dur ihg 2 panic and the least able to stand it

 That bill was carefully drawn and outaide of the liability feature, has lad the approval of the bankers of the state. The liability of the stackhold- els and the guaranty provisions were drawn with the very greatesj care, both for the protection of the deposi- tor and the banker. Taking the Tex $.

 History of the Movement,
 Mf. Warnock first introduced his Eill, a modification of which he is now initiating. in the Legislature of 1909 One of the provisions of the original measure was that each stockholder should be responsible in proportion to his stock held, for all liabilities, and tee Oklahoma guaranty feature was also provided. The Banks Association cbjec;ed to this, declaring it would be ar Exposition on the stronger banks, in f1Tcing them to contribute to fund for tle benefit of. weaker institutions. With this opposition, however, the bill passed the House with only six dis sening votes. "but when it reached the Senate, the power was too great, and it was net even permitted to be read the first time, but died in th5t august body without q scussion."
 During the sessicn of 1911. NJ, Wa. nook modified his original bill, eliminating some of tbe objectionable features so that it might meet the ap- Froval of the power that defeated the f9rnerr measure. Insteed of makir 2 tar guaranty plan compulsory, it pro yided for only an optional guaranty. sshosld any bank choose not to parti- eipate in the guaranty plan, the stock, : olders would be liable to the bank s deposit3rs in treble their capital atcct ill such bank. Ths appeared to rect the approval of the good people and mary of the banks of the state and passed the House with only four dissenting votes. .e
