in 5000 institutions. with $500 900 900
more authorized for 2 400 banks. More
than half of all banks in the country

guaranty of deposits law makes 1t
possible TO exclude many banks from

Bankers Opposed New Law.
In June. 1898. Congress passed
new organic banking law. The meas
ure was a milk-and-water compromise
of many proposals. The chief provi-
sion abolished interest IN demand de-
poSits, prohibited the securities bust
ness. authorized the Federal Reserve
Board to restrain the use of bank
funds In speculative activities, estab-
liShed a guaranty of bank deposits and
authorized a limited extension of
branches.
A majority of bankers objected en-
phatically to the law. seeing in it
coercive regulation, increase Of ex-
penses and loss Of profits. 1t appears
on analysis, however, that most OF the
provisions are relatively unimportant
and actually desirable The provisions
about interest on deposits, security

New York banks chiefly. The condi-
tions aimed at were primarily big-city
conditions. and the many small town
banks that had all too blithely gone
big league" in these directions are
certainly not hurt by the law Many
d small-town bank has rejoiced over
the interest-on-d deposits clause. Even
the great metropolitan banks. which
have lost some deposits and some
profit-lines, will probably benefit in
the end.
The two items Of consequence are
the guaranty of deposits and the
branches provision. In 1881 this writer
had the temerity to predict to a
group of bank presidents that within
three years this country would have
Federal guaranty of bank deposits.
The reaction reminded him OF Mr..
Dooley's account of his escape from
the Irishmen's convention with me
honor and me underwear. Only the
diSordered professional mind could
have evolved such a notion. But it
is here. The measure provides. in
simple terms for the taxation of sound
banks to create a fund to pay the
losses of failed banks. AS originally
passed there was to be temporary
guaranty of limited range until July,
1884 The bitter opposition to the
permanent feature led to another one
year temporary guaranty to become
permanent in July. 1885.

as the permanent guaranty has twice

lent chance of being abandoned. this
roundabout compulsion promises lit

this provision may simply drive the
! politically powerful State banks to
force revival of State guarantees.
The widespread belief that the ma
tional banks made an immeasurably
better showing against depression
than the State banks will not stand
| close analysis. They both made bad
records, with the State banks the
poorer. That is not the issue. The
issue lies in the existence in one
country Of two systems of bank con-
troll. 1t is not question which is
better. The Federal Reserve System
Is here to stay. When the era of
reckless experimentation comes to a
close, as it will, the Federal Reserve
System will be restored TO its proper
position. II will be stronger and
wiser than before. All the banks in
the country should be in that system.
In due time. though not at present,
all the banks should be national
/ banks, with State control abandoned.
While the Government dodges this
issue because Of its explosive political
possibilities. it is acquiring increasing
control over all the banks, State or

/ locking the stable door after the horse
I had departed. The banks now open
are the battle-scarred veterans Of a
{ long war. They need no guaranty.
But the long years of failure and the
frightful losses to depositors had en-
gendered deep public distrust. A
temporary guaranty served TO revive
/ confidence and reduce boarding. In
aSmuch as bank failures had practi-
cally ceased. the temporary guaranty
was simply psychological measure.
AS a permanent measure the guar
snty plan is bad. A guaranty by law
is the wroSt known device for protect
/ ing depoSitors, and q tax on sound
banks TO pay losses Of the failures is
the worst known device for setting up
a guaranty. This type Of guaranty
destroys the value of a reputation for
sound banking as means of attract
ing deposits and diSplaceS 1t with a
reputation for easy terms TO borrow
ers A curious feature OF the matter is
/ that this law was passed by Con-
gressmen from States that had aban-
doned guaranteed deposits after
CHASTITY experience.
The branch bank provision was
very simple. 1t permits national banks
/ to establish branches in their own
States IL the State law permits
branches for State banks. The meas
ure does not mean much practically;
there are only Is States that permit
Statewide branch banking. Poten-
/ TALLY it means much. It is the OPEN
/ ing breach in a wall that has with
stood assaults for years. No other ma =
/ ton has a banking system like ours.

covered that a system made up ex-
clusively Of local unit" banks, stand
ing alone. cannot provide safe and
/ efficient banking service Tragic ex-
perience from 1887 to 1888 has dem
onstrated this.
People Fear Branch Banks.
Historical and economic forces too
complex for analysis here have bred
in the American people deep fear of
/ branch banks and political opposi-
| tion that have prevented rational ac-
ton. That $4,000 banks have died in
the last 10 years-nearly 1000 in
1933-with a grim harvest of bank
ruptcy, misery and suicide, means
nothing in the face Of the hostility to
large extension of big city banks.
How many times have you read that
the chief cause of our banking dis
aster is too many banks? How many
times have you read that we had u.s.
900 banks in 1929, 10000 of which
collapsed in depression, while Canada
had 10 banks, not one of which has
failed? Or that England has only
great banks, each of which has
survived war, imitation and depression.
This is nonsense. Canada has 1000
banks, many more than we have in
