Bills On Banking
Bills are being steadily introduced
providing for further and more dras-
tic regulation Of the banking bust
ness in the State and at the present
writing the controversy arising there
from looms larger than any other
issue that may come before the ses-
sion. The Carbon County delegation
may we'll be said to be in the proper
frame of mind regarding n such
proposed legislation and are ap-
preaching the study of banking laws
with open minds and entirely free
from prejudice of my kind. They
fully realize that 1t would be not
only unjust but indeed fatal for the
future of banking in Wyoming II
they were to accept the doctrine OF
bills which sets forth a straight out
and out guarantee of deposits and
enact a law which would place the
conservative and successful banker
in a position where he would be at
the mercy of one who may not ex-
ercise proper caution. They uni
formly hold that there can be no
justice in a law which would impose
a legal and binding obligation upon
one individual to a the debts of
another engaged in the same line
of business and that the ultimate out
come would surely be chaos as in the
case of ~ n~eishboring state Ne
braska where, it Is related. operat-
ing under a State Bank Guarantee
Law, hat 1t will take so years to
clear up the obligation to refund the
depositors of defunct banking in
situations of record to date.
DcpOsitors to be Heard
On the other hand. however, they
are just as determined that those
unfortunate individually who have al
ready suffered financial losses at the
hands of bankers with over-liberal
policies. shall have. not only their
"day in court" and be given respect
full hearing. but that it will be their
purpose to lend every effort possible
&c evolve some measure from the
various bills and suggestions pend
ing which will more nearly safeguard
the interests OF depositors in banks
and banking institutions than any OF
the existing banking laws.
Child Labor Amendment
Another issue before Wyoming So
Ions is the proposed Federal Child
Labor Amendment and free discus
sion OF 1t has already gained con-
siderable momentum. II IL rather
doubtful II that such n measure Will
receive the official sanction of the
present legislature. A vast amount
of propaganda has been put into ma
tion-wide circulation regarding this
matter both for and against and II
became very apparent that legislators
would soon have to declare them
selves upon the subject. The Gov
ernor also expresses her earnest de-
side TO have Wyoming one OF the first
to ratify IL, altho she stated in her
message Il should have preferred
that the object OF this amendment
had been achieved through legisla-
ton in the separate states" This
last observation quoted from the
Governors message suggests en-
croachment upon state Rights by adj
ditional power OF the Federal Gov
ernmen, and may really be said to
be the chief objection to the pro.
posed amendment.
Seem Ia Mean Business
