Drastic Changes ^ in State Banking Law Proposed Keiser Bill Takes Receivers Appointment From Dis trict Courts—Drain on | Fund Is Halted. Lincoln, Jan. 18.—(Special.)—Dis trict court* would be absolutely stripped of their power to appoint re ceivers of failed state bank* under the trms of a bill Introduced in the lower house of the state legislature by Oswin Keiser of Bostwick. Jveiser would place the power of appointing receivers in the hands of the state de partment of trade and commerce. Another drastic feature of the Keis er bill is milking impossible imnie elute cash payments from the state guaranty fund for depositors in failed tanks. Keiser would make lawful the Is suance of negotiable receivers’ certifi cates covering the full amount of money held in banks by depositors. This would relieve the state guaranty fund from a big drain, as under the present law. immediately after a bank fails a draft Is made on the fund for the full amount of deposits. After the hank is liquidated, if there is nny money, it is returned to the fund, hut in the meantime the fund is often drained of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
