LINCOLN', Iec. lo.Rrfcial.) Charles
O. Whrdon, one of the counsel for the
state In the bank guaranty case recently
argued before the I'nited States aupreme
court, takea exceptions to the views ex
pressed by President Burnham of the First
National bank.
"I read," raid Mr. Whedon. "the Inter
view with the president of the First Na
tional bank. Mr. Burnham, In which he
characterised the bank guaranty law as
unjust and dishonest. He used as an Illus
tration the case of a Ueorgla newspaper
plant about to go into the hands of a re
ceiver. 'Why, he asks. ' -rhould not the
Nebraska newspapers t,e called upon to
make up the difference between Its assets
and Ha liabilities? The principle Is the
same as that of bank guaranty.'
"Mr. Fumham s Illustration Is not apt.
Publishing newspaper Is private business;
banking business la putllc business.
"I'nder the laws of this state If a banker
reedvea deposits in his bank knowing
the bank to be Involved, he Is guilty of a
felony. There Is here no law which will
punish the publisher of a newspaper who,
knowing his paper or himself to be In
solvent, receives pay In adavnee for a
year's subscription to the paper, although
he may know he cannot deliver the paper.
"The national banking law under which
Mr. Burnham's bank does business provides
for taking the money of one man to pay
the debt of another.
"Since national banks were organized
they have paid to the government upwards
of S17S.OuO.000 as ta xon circulation, capital
and deposit. During the same period cred
itors of national banks have iot upwards
of 147.500.000. If at the beginning one-fourth
of the tax paid on circulation, capital and
deposits had ben placed in a fund for the
security of depositors, kept unvested In
government bonds, save as required to pay
depositors, andthe Income reinvested, every
depositor in a failed bank would have been
paid In full and the fund would now be
so large that Its Interest would maintain
the fund.'
"Had that been done the banks would
have paid no more in taxes than they have
paid and no depositor would have sus
tained the loss of a dollar.
"And yet national bankers, or some of
them, tell us that a law which has for its
purpose the securing of deposits so that
the depositor may know that he will get
his money is both 'unjust and dishonest.' "
Attorney General's Oplnloa.
Attorney deneral Mullen, In an opinion
given to the county attorney of Keya Paha
county, says that tho law and the court
decisions are n6t clear as to the majority
necessary to ' carry bonds for Internal Im
provements, but that the safe way is to
have a majority of two-thirds In favor of
such bonds. Bridge building and Judgments
agatnstt he county were questions In
volved from eKeya Parte county.
