the guaranty fund have been ex
hausted, the state supreme court saya
in an opinion handed down Saturday .
affirming the decision cf the district I
court at Plattsmouth in the suit of j
Fred E. Eodie, former receiver of The!
Bank of Cass County, against T. II. I
Pollock, one of the stockholders.
The Cass county case was one
brought to test the right of the state
to proceed against solvent stockhold
ers before the affairs of a suspended
institution had been wound up. It
bureau and the "receiver that if the
was contended by the state banking
stockholders could not be made to pay
until all -sets had been realired im-
until an ssets naa t.een realised up-
on, it would enable them to dispose
lir-ouac
of their pronertv and thus avoid all
liability when that time arrived.
Holding of the Court
But the supreme court, in its in-
terpretation of the constitutional
.iuiciou. iioiu3 as iuwu6.
"Sections 4 and 7. Art. XII. of
the constitution, are self-executing
when considered together, as
they have been and should be;
and, so considered, they form a
complete constitutional rule to
the effect that, while stockhold
ers in banks are subject to the
double liability set out in said
sections, such liability cannct be
enforced until the property of
the bank has been exhausted,
and the amount justly due Judic
ially determined.
"Since the time when the lia
bility of a bank stockholder can
be enforced
the constitutio
for the enforcement
bility can be prescribed by the
legislature so long as the consti
tution stands unchanged."
Law on Which Based
ThP laneTiJiee of the constitution
bearing upon the Question is as fol
lows:
Sec. 7. Art. 12. "Every stock
holder in a' banking corporation
or institution shall be individ
ually responsible and liable to
its creditors, over and above the
amount of stock by him held, to
an amount equal to his respect
ive stock or shares so held, for
all its liabilities accruing while
he remains such f tockholder."
Sec. 4, Art. 7. "In all cases
of cltims against corporations
and joint Etock associations, the
exact r mount justly due shall be
first ascertained, and rfter the
corporate property shall have
been exhausted, the original
subscribers thereof shall be in
dividually liable to the extent
of their unpaid subscription,
and the liability of the unpaid
subscription shall follow lue
stock.
No Dissenting Opinion
The onirion is by the court as a
whole. participated in by Chief Jus-
tice Morrisey. Supreme Judpe3 Let-

KETUENS FEOM OKLAHOMA
From Monday's Kaily
Frank E. Vallery, who has been
spending some time in Oklahoma, has
returned home and during his 6tay In
the Sooner state had some real start
ling experiences in tbe floods and
high waters that prevailed in that
locality. Mr. Vallery states that the
flood was very bad in Oklahoma City
and that over the Canadian and oth
er rivers of the state railroad bridges
were washed out and the water from
the overflowed rivers covered miles
of the country and made travel by
train impossible. The use of aero
planes from Dallas, Texas, was called
for and the planes used in the trans
portation of passengers to and from
the different points in the state.
