Bank Guarantee Shortcomings.

Grand Island, Neb., Jan. 20.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: I am a continu-
Gus reader Of your paper and believe
the discussions in editorials are
good thing. / have been thinking for
some time that there is something
wrong with our laws in reference to
banks and I would like to have the
matter discussed in some manner by
the public pulse" 1t seems to me
that our bank guarantee law is a
farce or an injustice.
Why guarantee depositors who put
their money in state banks. when the
national banks, which they deposit
their reserve in. are not guaranteed
and can break up and carry the state
banks with them. 1t seems to me an
injustice to state banks to have them
pay assessments for losses caused by
breaking up of national banks who
hold the reserves of state banks.
Either national banks should be
guaranteed or bonded or the law
should require state banks to keep
their reserve in state banks. The
United States government will not de-
post its money in national bank I'M
less 1t is bonded. The state of Ne
braska will not deposit its money in
national banks without a bond. Why
should the state banks be allowed to
deposit their reserve in national banks
with no bond or guarantee. 1t is the
duty of the Banking board Of Ne
braska and the legislature to look aft
er the interests of state institutions.
Surely it should provide proper pro-
lection for its state banks. The United
States government will not allow ma
tional banks to put any of their re-
serve in state banks, even when they
are guaranteed. Is that not an insult
to us when we deposit in national
banks with no guarantee?
We consider the "depositors' guar
antee law" is a great blessing to the
people as well as to the banks and
would be a good thing for the United
States government. The depositor
cannot distinguish between good and
bad banks, not even inspectors Gt
seems) can always find out. Then
why not put such safeguards around
all banks as are necessary, then guar
antee all banks? The first money paid
out of our guarantee fund was paid
because of failure of national bank
with the reserve of state bank in 1t.
would like to hear from others on
this subject. 1t seems to me very i'm
portant, but may be mistaken.

Intricacies Of Legal Notices.

O'Neill, Neb., Jan. z1.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: According to
press notices Senator Neal of Ne
maha has introduced bill to regu-
late legal notices by publication. This
is a good subject to keep away from.
Two years ago an attempt was made
by the legislature to clarity the pub
LEGATION law by defining the term
week" This innocent looking little
law containing twelve lines caused
loss of thousands of dollars to per-
sons having business before the coun-
ty and district courts during its trou-
blous existence of nine months, when
it was finally nullifed by the supreme
court
This law was passed with an emer-
gency clause and consequently judges
and lawyers generally did not know
its provisions until more than three
months after it had gone into effect.
Now 1t so happens that almost all
cases in which service by publication
Is allowed involve title to land, and
unless the statute is strictly followed
titles based on such proceedings will
be void; SO when the existence of
this law was discovered hundreds Of
DEGREES throughout the state were set
aside, new notices had to be pub
lished at great expense to clients,
many Of whom, especially in the pro-
bate courts, were widows and orphans.
To show how easily little tinker
ing with a well settled rule of law
may upset the courts, it is only ne .
sary to point out that the county
court of York county upheld the law,
the district court of York county up
held it, the supreme court on first
hearing upheld 1t. But when it came
before the supreme court again on
rehearing the court, with strong arm
and in the interests of humanity, put
this troublesome little pest to sleep.
AS the law now stands different
periods of time are required for differ
emit kinds of notices. But every prac-
ticing lawyer knows what they are;
if he does not know now he would
not know anyway. But If this law is
tinkered with again nobody will know
until the supreme court construes It

BREWERS
TO FORM PARTY

Especial to The Richmond Nirginian.)
Washington, D. c.. August Ia
Wayne B.. Wheeler, general counsel
for the Anti-Saloon League OF Amer
lea, will open the campaign for a pro-
hibition amendment to the Ohio con-
stitution With an address at a banquet
of Cuyahoga county dry leaders in
Cleveland. In his address Wheeler will
challenge the brewery interests to
a new national party with personal
liberty" as its platform. Concerning
this threat, Wheeler said tonight:
The manufacture of whiskey Is
dead and the beer business is in its
last ditch of defense. The brewing
interests now propose. through their
spokesman, Christian Schott. Of Gin
cinnati, to form a new party dedicated
to the immortal principles OF personal
liberty and beer.
The dry forces challenge the beer
crowd to form such party. A po-
litical party founded on beer and per-
sonal liberty would speed the day of
national prohibition victory.
The New York World, in a recent
editorial. inspired the new party threat
by declaring that unless the Demo-
cratic party champions personal lib
erty 1t Is doomed. But personal lib
erty is a dead doctrine in civilized So
ciety. 1t insures only the curses Of
liberty but civil liberty insures the
blessings OF liberty and for it men
will fight and die.
With Gambrinus as their patron
saint, personal liberty for their slo-
gan. and a beer key as their party en-
blenn, the brewers would present a
spectacle that would make the Statue
of Liberty weep"
