Durant have stopped here to pick up
passengers bound for Dallas. and at
other times, we are informed, to pick
up passengers destined for points
north of Parsons.
Officers of this company have In
timated that they would like very
much to make Durant regular stop
ping place for these Limited trains,
as Was done when the trains were
first installed, bit that they could not
do this without also stopping them at
Caddo, and this latter would be one
step toward changing the fast Limited
trains into local trains which the
company did not care to do. Just re-
Gently the corporation commission is
sued such an order relieving the Katy
of stopping their Limited trains at
Caddo, so that they may place Du-
rant on the regular schedule. Then
when the coast is clear, the Katy an
nounces Limited train service for Du'
rant which is almost Identical with
that they have given all along, except
that it is worded a little differently.
The Katy formerly made Durant a
regular stopping place for these Linn
oted trains, and by virtue of the fact
that this town is transfer point with
three lines. The Katy derived a nice
bit of passenger traffic in and out of
Durant for its Limited trains. Then
this Caddo agreement came up, and
the Katy either had to stop the Linn
tied trains at Caddo or cut Durant eff
the schedule. and the company chose
the latter. Meantime, we are told,
the Katy's revenue from Durant has
grown constantly but no honest dis
position on the part of the officials
restore to Durant its former passen,
ger train service has been manifested.
We trust that the officials of the road
will reconsider their plans and not
perpetrate this unfair discrimination
against us.

COST OF DEPOSIT GUARANTY
SYSTEM.

There have been so many failures
since the Oklahoma deposit guaranty
law went into effect, that the burden
on the banks of keeping up the guar
anty fund has been enormously great
The system has cost the banker an
average of almost three per cent a
year on the capital he has had invest
ed, or an average OF one per cent. an
nually on his average daily deposits.
This is twenty times as much as the
cost should have been. The last Ok
lahoma legislature amended the law
so as to limit the annual assessments
to two-fifths OF one per cent on the
average daily deposits for the next
three years, and to one-fifth of one
per cent thereafter. This lightens
the burdes considerably for the pres
ent, but the guaranty fund is now over
$65OOOO in debt. and this will have to
be paid eventually. either by the
banks of by the State.
