Sixteen States Of Union
Have Tried A Bank Law

The following on the state bank law
is taken by an article recently written
by Fred r. Smith, Of Platte, s. d., and
gives sixteen good reasons why it
should be defeated this fall:
1.-THE attempt to engage the State In
the Banking business Is no new thing.
During the history of our country,
sixteen states have experimental in
the operation of state owned and con-
troiied banks. The most recent OF
these is North Dakota, whose banking
law was framed by the same party
which is responsible for the proposed
law in South Dakota. The experience
OF North Dakota Is too recent, too
close, and too well known thruout the
entire nation, to require a review at
this time. But lest some one may say
that the failure Of the Bank Of North
Dakota to junction to the credit OF
the state, was due to unusual circum-
stances, or to unfavorable conditions,
let me call your attention to the ex-
p~erience Of the other states which
have attempted engaging in the bank
ing business. The other states which
have attempted an experiment In
Banking are Vermont, Kentucky, Del
aware, North and South Carolina, In
diana, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee,
Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia. Florida,
Arkansas, and Mississippi. In every
one OF these cases the State Bank has
failed 6isastroasly, the loss to the
state ranging from 5000 900, in Yer
mont to 5000, 900 in Arkansas. The
loss to the State of Mississippi was
so great that the State found II neces-
sary to repu6iate the bonds which
had been sold for the purpose OF rails
ing the capital for the Bank. The
experiment in Illinois was so disas-
trous that there was incorporated In
the Constitution Of the State, a provi-
sion, that never again should the State
engage in the Banking business. The
depositors in the Bank Of Tennessee
did not ever receive a cent for their
deposits. In Alabama, the State lost
all of the proceeds of the $4,000, 900
in bonds sold for capital purposes FOL
the Bank, and in addition lost ali o.
It's public funds, school funds, ant
University funds. Louisiana's disastr'
Gus experiment in the Banking bust
ness led to the incorporation in hel
constitution of a provision to the ell
| feet that the Estate shall not sub
scribe for the stock of, nor make :
loan to, nor pledge its faith for th'
benefit of any banking corporation

WOONSOCKET l2-O
THUS and Greene Make TOuchdOwnsL
Lots Of Good Material
In Team

The Miller High School foot ball
team defeated the Woonsocket High
School team at Miller last Saturday

Woonsocket. Woonsocket was held
for downs and Miller recovered the
ball. The quarter ended with ball in
Miller's territory in possession of
Miller.
The second quarter Miller marched
down the field to Woonsocket's 40
yard line and there was forced to
punt. Woonsocket tried a couple Of
criss-cross end runs and fumbled,
Slim Titus, Miller end grabbed the
ball and with interference Of Burns
raced across goal for touchdown.
They failed at try for goal after
touchdown.
At end of first half ball was in pos
session of Miller in middle Of field.
During the second half the ball was
in Woonsocket's territory most of the
time.
During the first part Of the third
quarter Greene completed a nice for
ward pass to Bohen from Woonsoc-
ket's 40-yard line. Bohen running
across goal for touchdown. The head
linesman blew his whistle for Woon-
socket being offside. Bohen did not
touch ball down behind goal but car
ried it back and handed 1t to referee,
who was forced to %penalize Woon-
socket five yards rather than give
Miller the touchdown. Soon after this
Greene completed another pass to

run which brought the ball to Woon-
sockets fifteen yard line, where the
game ended.
Burns starred for Miller making
several long runs. Two fumbles dur
ing the last quarter gained for Miller
considerable territory.
The Miller team played a good de-
fensive game, holding Woonsocket for
downs during the last three quarters
almost at will. Woonsocket took n
squirt during this time and made first
down twice in succession. During the
first quarter the game was in Woon-
sockets favor.
The Miller line was heavier than the
Woonsocket line, but the W~oonsocket
backield was heavier than Miller's
bsckfield. The Miller team as a whole
was the heavier.
