NEBRASKA NEWS
Counsel (or State Declares Bank
Law Should Stand,
STATE'S RIGHTS NOT LIMITED
May Prevent private Parties From
Acting as Bankers and May Enforce
the Tax on Us Corporations Brief
Filed in Federal Court In Resistance
to Application for Permanent Injunc
tion. Lincoln, July 19. Copies of tho
brief prepared by C. O. Whedon lu de
fense of tho guaranty banking law en
acted by tho lato legislature have been
filed In the federal court In resistance
to the application for a permanent In
junction to prevent tho law becoming
effective. After a lengthy discussion
of the police powors ot tho state, Mr.
Whedon arrived at the following con
clusion: 1. That no caso decided by tho su
premo court of tho United States, and
no principle of law enunciated by that
court, sustujns tho contention that the
Nebraska statute of 1909 deprives tho
plaintiffs, or any of thorn, of rights
guaranteed under tho constitution of
tho United States.
2. That tho stato may, In tho legiti
mate excrclBo of Its legislative, or po
lice power, prohlhjt Individuals, not
Incorporated, from engaging In tho
bnnklng business, within its Jurisdic
tion, and that it Infringes no legal
right by so doing.
3. That as tho legislative act In
question operates upon all individuals
alike, and does not prohibit them from
dngaglng lu tho banking business, but
merely prescribes tho terms and con
ditions upon which thoy may engage
In that business, it js valid.
4. That tho right of tho state to en
act such legislation is sustained, not
only by the supreme court of tho Unit
ed States, hut by the clear and un
doubted weight of authority by tho
courts of lust resort of tho Btates, tho
one case from South Dakota being tho
only one which counsel for plaintiffs
have been able to find to the romrary.
In discussing tho guaranty section
of the law, tho brjef said:
"It is said that tho effect of this
law Is to take tho money of one bank
to pay the debts of Knother bank. Lot
It be supposed that there are In ono
county of tho state five Individuals
who nro Incapacitated by reason of
age from earning a living and are de
pendent upon tho r-'. 'ic f"r Bupport.
Originally each pobsessed $5,000. Let
It bo furthor supposed that In tho
same county were five banks, jn ono
of which these lnualduals deposited
tho $5,000 possessod by each. Tho hank
holding tho deposits of these Individ
uals failed and the entire deposits wcro
lost, nnd ns a consequence those de
positors becamo public charges. Could
any of the other four hanks In tho
county which did not fail successfully
resist the levy or collection of tho
poor fund tax, the purpose of which
was to support. theso five individuals?
I think not. And yet this would bo
tnklng tho property of tho solvent
banks to pny tho result of the loss of
tho Insolvent ono."
In conclusion the brief sots up:
"First That the statute, tho con
stitutionality of which is hero ques
tioned, does not deprive the unincor
porated plnlntjffs of any rights guar
anteed to them by the constitution of
tho Unltol Stntos, or tno constitution
of the stato of Nebraska.
"Second That all banks In this
Etntf, whether Incorporated or private,
ninv bo required to comply with tho
guaranty features of tho law.
"Third That the stnto may, in the
exorciso of its power or sovereignty,
confine all of tho hanking business of
tho stato to corporations.
"Fourth That tho incorporated
plaintiffs have, and can have, no con
tract with tho stato which prevents
tho legislature from placing additional
duties nnd requirements upon them,
oven to tho extent of requiring them
to set nshlo n per cent of their depos
Its for tho purposo of sccurjng depos
itors.
"Fifth That tho act is constitu
tional as a whole, but If unconstitu
tional as to paying rewards out of tho
guaranty fund, or in any or Its pro
visions, thoso provisions are separa
ble, and the other portions of the act
are valid.
"Sjxth That tho temporary Injunc
tion heretofore granted should bo dis
solved, tho demurrer sustained, and
tho bill dismissed."
Judge Albert Files Brief.
Judge Albert discusses two ques
tions only in hjs brief tho right of
the stato to limit tho banking business
to corporations, and the right of tho
stato to cuuse tho payment of a levy
for the creation of a fund to pay obli
gations of tho banks to their depos
itors. In discussing the latter point, Judge
Albert says tho primary object of the
law js not to protect depositors, but
to avert panics, by some guaranty to
depositors that tholr money is safe.
The fact that depositors arc Incident
ally benefited by the act does not ren
der it void, tho brief sayB. The pas
sage of the banking act, he says, was
the result of the flnanclnl disturbances
some months ago, and It has for Its
object the welfaro of the public.
