minor mistakes In administration, but
more generally on misunderstanding
of their purposes, of what should be
expected of such system.
The banker, as much as any man, is
to blame for the present misconcep-
ton. He found Federal Reserve
Banks ready scapegoat to blame for
no matter what happened. If 1t
seemed desirable to refuse or call .
loan 1t was easy to say that the Fed
eral Reserve Bank wished 1t, although
1t should have been refused because
contrary to good banking practice.
Most of all was the system blamed
for the fact that violent imitation
which hundreds Of business men and
bankers hoped might be continued
forever was finally checked by putting
up Federal Reserve interest rates.
There were those who blamed the
system for not having put up the rate
soon enough and others who blamed
it because it put up the rate at all.
The penalty for thus blaming every
business mishap on this valuable sys.
tenn may be the loss of it's much
needed benefits. If we wish to save
the present bank of the United States
from the fate of its two predecessors
we must make known to America, to
It's rank and file, the splendid useful.
ness of these institutions.
We must admit at the outset that
in their administration mistakes have
been made. that governors OF Fed
eral Reserve Banks and members OF
the Federal Reserve Board are human
beings, and in the administration of
the affairs of any institution by
human beings mistakes will be made,
but these have been so insignificant
az compared with the outstanding
usefulness of the institutions them
selves that they should be judged by
the good which they have performed,
which, after all, has been along the
line OF their designed achievement,
rather than by those errors which
time and experience can easily elimi-
nate.

that law, enduring it's evil conse-
quences for fifteen years and then
frankly casting it aside as a failure.
has performed an economic service to
the nation. There could be no more
convincing argument against the pas
sage of similar laws in other states
than Oklahoma's disastrous expert
ment.
The Oklahoma guaranty law was
the first of its kind. 1t was enacted
in response to the panic of 1907. But
experience has only proved again that
there is no substitute for sound bank
ing. Relying on the fancied security
of the guaranty law, people entrusted
their banking to many who were I'M
fit for the trust. Bank failures have
been so many that the fund, sup
posed to guarantee deposits. creai ed
by assessments on banks, was long
ago depleted.
II is estimated that with total liabil.
tiles created under the law In the
form of warrants and sums owing to
depositors amounting to $12 100000.
there are in the hands of the Banking
Board uncertain assets of nomina ly
$15,O00,00O, ranging in value from
zero to only thirty or forty cents on
the dollar. resulting in a deficit OF
many million dollars. Sound. well-man.
aged banks have been heavily taxed
by assessments to the fund. and the
maximum amount that could be as
sessed on solvent banks Is insufficient
to cover the deficit.
It has been well said that guaranty
laws make for looseness in banking
methods, and saddle on the com.
petent and honest the sins Of the in
competent and dishonest.
