THE 8TRICKEN

made to admit lumber for its
rebuilding free of duty. The Re
publican party managers side
tracked it. But why should they
have taken this attitude? As

eigner pays the tax there was
no particular reason for them to
compel the people of that strick
en city to pay ten per cent more
for the lumbar In its rebuilding
than they would otherwise, just
In order to prevent an object

VORKIN33,
What Officials Certify As To fcffect of
Oklahoma Guaranty Law.
Sonio Inquires have reached Tho
News respecting the workings of tho
guarantee of bank deposits law In Ok
lahoma. The following Is the last of
ficial statement Issued by the state
authorities. It bears the signature of
Charles W. Bellamy, chairman of tho
state banking board, and Roy C.
Dakes, secretary. It says:
Tlie ilppoaltora' guaranty law was
passed December 17, 1907, and was
made operative February 14, 1908.
Bank reports show that the effect of
tho law began weeks beforo the law
was In actual operation. There are
now 5SC hanks under tho new law in
the state, Including 57 national banks,
(all national) Iu tho state.
"From December 3, 1907, to Feb
ruary 4, 1908, the deposits In tho un
secured banks decreased about an
even half million. The socured na
tional banks for the same period
gained In deposits about $520,000. Stato
banks (all secured) for tbe period
from December 11, 1907, to February
29, 1908, shows an increase In depos
its of $716,749.97. For tho period end
In May 14th the secured national
banks show an increase in deposits ot
$645,413.61. State banks, for the same
period, show an Increase In deposits
ot $2,355,602.14, and tho unsecured na
tionals lost In deposits $600,807.86.
"For the period ending July 15th,
1908 state banks show an Increase ot
deposits of $828,639.91, and 54 secured
nationals lost $557,183.40. This de
crease, It was claimed, was due to the
comptroller of the currency at Wash
ington demanding of several leading
national banks to stay out of the guar
anty fund, leading to tho belief that
they would later be prohibited as na
tionals from joining a guarantee fund,
which has Blnce proved true. For the
game period the 251 unsecured nation
als show a decrease In deposits of
$964,680.28.
Total increase In deposits In all
(secured hanks, December to July, per
reports $4,509,221.65. Total decrease
of deposits In all unsecured banks, $2,
065,488.14. Total decrease of deposit
In state funds In all bank for tho last
period $1,200,807.50. So It la apparent
that thero is $3,644,450.05 more Indivi
dual deposit iu banks In Oklahoma
than before the depositor's guarantee
I a tv wus paused with all of the In
crease deposited in banks securod b
this law." Lincoln Evening News, Republican.
ryan the Conservative.
The following has already appeared
In print, hut wo consider It worthy
ot reproduction.
Last fall, when Wall street pre
clpltated the panic, Bryan showed
himself a safe and wlso counsellor.
Here are tho words he then ad
dressed the public: "Be Patient Oe
posltora." In other editorials tho Commoner
has pointed out certain remedies
that ought to be Invoked for tho re
lieving of tho proHotit panic and tho
protection of the public for the fu
ture, but It begx to urge patience and
confldeneo upon Its readers. Tho
hanks are as a rule, perfectly Bound.
Thiy nro not loaded 1111 with bad
paper. Examination will show that
prlcen havu been rising ami that men
aro better able to pny their debts now
than they were ten or even tlvo yearn
ago, but thu depositors can precipitate
a panic If they are unreasonable
enough to do bo. Tho withdrawal of
a fow dollars a day by each depositor
If ho deposits none, will soon cripple
the strongest Institution, whllo an
agreement among tho depositors to
exercise a little more faith, will booh
relieve the situation. Whllo tho
local hanks may find It tmpodslblo
to withdraw tho deposits which thoy
have made In the eastern Imnku,
those deposits will ultimately he paid,
and thorn Is practically no danger of
loss to the various communities, un
less depositors are foolish enough to
expect thu Impossible. When a de
positor puts his money Into a bank,
ht knows his ability to withdraw It
on demand depends entirely upon tho
probability that but few will want to
withdraw tho money at one time. Ho
has no light to expect, therefore, that
he can call for his money at otico It
all the other dopoaltors do tho samo
thing still less should ho expect It
If his timidity makes others timid.
This Is a time when depositors should
lecogulze the service of the bank to
the community for the bank would
not exist, but for the local demand
for it and tho depositor should help
to protect the community by giving
such support as Is within hla power.
The depositor who thinks only of
himself at a time like this Is as much
to be criticised as tho citizen who,
thinking only of himself in time of
war, refuses to bear any of the risks
or dangers necessary for his country's
protection. Commoner of November
17, 1907,
ThOBe words had much to do with
allaying the wide-spread, popular mis
trust which prevailed at that time,
and the bankers of the country were
unstintod In their praise for the level
headedness exhibited by Bryan In a
most trying situation.
To-day he Iu advocating a guarantee
of bank deposits a measure which
would effectually prevent such a
thing as a run ou a bunk a measure
that would enable both the houoBt
banker and his customers to sleep
nights, notwithstanding a (lurry on
Wall street. His counsels wore wise
when there was "Panic" In the air,
and were gratefully received by the
haukors. In common gratitude thoy
should give at least respectful con
sideration to the mea3iiro which ho
now proposes to guard against a ie
occurronco of those condition-!.
Not a Party Question.
People liiHure their goods by
and sea. The custom is of
land
long
standing. It has not driven capable
shipbuilders aud navigators out of
business, nor retarded the Introduc
tion of improved methods of house
construction, nor yet laid a withering
blight ot paternalism and socialism
upon the world. In view of which we
hardly understand why a proposal to
Insure bank deposits should produco
such commotion.
The guaranty of deposits, as en
acted In Oklahoma or as proposed hi
the Fowler bill, Is simply a system
of Insurance. A very Bniall tax, or
premium lovled upon all deposits
something like forty cents on tho
thousand dollars, we believe would
have covered all losses suffered by
national bank depositors through bank
failures. Such Insurance would not
"put good bank management at a
discount."
Nobody deposits any money in a
bank unless he believes It to be thor
oughly safe. Ho chooses one bank
rather than another because It Is
more couvenlent or more accommodat-
ing, or for some such reason. He
would still choose the bank that did
his business most satisfactorily, and
therein the good banker would still
have all his advantage over thu In
different or poor one.
Every good banker ought to favor
every proposal which would Improve
the banking business as a whole,
which would Increase public confi
dence hi banks in general, which
would tend to mako every man with
uny money deposit It In some bank
instead of hoarding It, which would
lessen the probability of panic among
depositors In unquiet tlmos. Satur
