In Warrington, where the state
banks have the option of going into
the guaranty system or staying out,
SO many remained out or left it that

Guarantee fund members, capital
$500, 900; deposits, 100000.

is in such condition it will be several
years before it will pay out to deposit

no more trouble.

Article 1.-Historical.

The subject Of guaranty of bank
deposits is older than Ann and has
been misrepresented by advocates and
opponents with the persistent pervari
cation Of Ananias.
In New York state In 1929 this
country was furnished the first ex-
pertinent under q so-called safety
Fund Act" There were 40 incorporat
ed banks in the state then, with com
bined capital Of $4,000, 900 and liza
bilities Of O,0OO, 600; and bank notes
constituted the principal supply of
credit to such an extent they were
variously and heavily discounted.
Public confidence was disturbed to
the crisis point when this act was
passed TO grant relief. Each bank
was required to pay certain per cent
of its capital into the fund, making
all the banks responsible for the loss
the public might sustain through
failure of one or more of them.
The "relief" proved myth, and the
bank fund became bankrupt in 1887. |
In 1912 the guaranty was eliminated |
from the law and the subject was
closed until the enactment of the
Oklahoma law.
