PALMER To AID
CLOSED BANKS

IA. Mitchell Palmer, counsel for
he national despositors' commit,
Zee, has presentd a plan to the
Comptroller of tie Currency
WHEREBY banks now operating
under restrictions either would
open for full business in so days,
or close permanently and be
liquidated.
Palmer said most of the 1000
banks not yet operating on a nor
NAL basis could be saved under
the plan, and expressed the view
that good many conserVators
are delaying matters because they
draw higher salaries as conServa-
tors than they would get on regu-
lar jobs.
There is no warrant in law, ne
contends, for restricted opera
ton. He suggests four classified
tions for moribund banks: Those
whose surplus and reserves are
wiped out by depreciation and
losses; those whose capital also
is partly impaired; those whose
capital is gone but whose assets
still will protect creditors, and
finally those where a deficit re-
mains, in spite of all.

GUARANTEE FOR
BANK DEPOSITS
in NEW PLANS
AGENCY KNOWN AS FEDERAL
DEPOSIT INSURANCE COR
PoRATIoN IN CONNECTION
WITH MOVEMENT
(By HERBERT PLUMMER)
lRx Associated Pressl

WASHlNGTON, UcL. zo.-
Many people were cheered by the
news last spring that, with only a
few dissenting votes in the house
and unanimously in the senate, a
bill guaranteeing bank deposits
was written into the law of the
land.
Few, perhaps, know of the exis-
tence now of an agency known as
the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation; that its purpose is to
insure bank deposits, beginning
January 1, 1884, and that it will
have an estimated capital fund OF
half billion dollars to do the
job.
Stated another way, beginning
the first year all deposits in eligi-
BILE banks will be insured up to a
maximum of $1,000 each until
July /, 1884, by Uncle Sam.
Since about 81 percent of the
depositors in the banks of the
country have less than $4,000 in
their accounts, this means that the
vast majority will have 100 per-
cent protection, according to the
law.
Making IL Last
After July l, this temporary in
surance will be supplanted by
permanent guarantee when depos-
its up to $4,000 will be insured
100 percent, those between $10,-
900 and $4,000 will be protected
rs percent and those in excess of
$50, 900 will be covered so percent.
All members of the federal re-
serve system are required by law to
join in the temporary fund. Other
institutions may, if they can pro-
duce a certificate of solvency and
pass the corporations examina-
ton.
At present some 2,725 of the
latter have applied for member
ship. More than $500 forms of
application to membership in the
temporary fund have been mailed
to the banks.
Banks joining the temporary
fund must pay the corporation one
fourth Of 1 percent of their total
deposits eligible for insurance. Any
time thereafter up to June 80,
1884, a like assessment may be
made. If necessary a third as
sessment can be made, but in no
event may the total of all three
exceed one percent of the deposits.
All Members Stockholders
To participate in the permanent
fund after July 1, all member
banks must become stockholders
IN the corporation.
The banks which qualify for
membership in the temporary i'm
surance fund win not be announc-
ed until all applications have been
acted upon. The directors of the
