The Guaranty OF Bank Deposits =

Study Of the Owenized form Of the
Administration currency bill inspires
the conclusion that the measure passed
by the House Of Representatives was
materially better than as amended by
the Owen faction for Senatorial con-
sideration. Does the Democratic ca,i-
Gus Of the Senate intend to make the
Owen bill still worse? 1t looks that
way. now that the caucus has appar.
emily decided to incorporate in the bill
some form of bank deposit guaranty,
one Of the nostrums Of Bryan finance
reviving an old quack remedy for bad
banking and accepted SO far by the
American people In recent years only
In the States OF Texas. Oklahoma, Kan
sas and Nebraska.
The Hitchcock form Of the House cur.
rency bill improved the Glass measure
in many ways. but 1t was not an i'm.
provemcnt to include that which In the
Hitchcock bill Is described as a "de-
positors' insurance fund" to he derived
from surplus earnings Of the contem-
plated regional banks: II there are any
surplus earnings. This seems to have
caught the fancy Of the Senate Demo-
cratic caucus. and something Of the
sort Is promised for the hill which the
i, Senate will he asked to pass.

templated Federal reserve association

they are much more likely to he kept
out OF the association. Already cur
rency legislation in its formative stages
has set up repulsions In the banking

proposed legislation.
Deposit guaranty may he inaugu-
rated In its least noxious guise. as in
the Hitchcock device, hut banking judg-
ment will regard It as only beginning.
Opinion will probably he that once the
new banking system is headed in that
direction no prediction can safely he
made about stopping place. The hest
banks will not he anxious to get caught
in the tolls Of such movement. Yet
these are the banks which above al, the
new banking system should comprise
for the successful operation Of the
financial machinery. 1t will he poor
system made up chiefly OF banks from
which the conspicuously fiji institutions
are eliminated.
All experience indicates that the hes,
guaranty Of bank deposits is a good
banking system and good banking un,
der intelligent and alert Government
supervision. Indeed there is no other
satisfactory guaranty Of bank deposit,
in the end, for II has been demon
> strated that instead of conducting (,
good banking the operation of n law
enforced guaranty Of deposits has pre-
cisely the opposite effect.
