I Modern Life and Credit
The wonderful development of our modern system of living with all
of its complicated machinery for carrying on the large and small transact
ions of the big and little affairs of every day life is due entirely to the
world’s system of credit.
Credit extends all the way from the smallest “accounts” of the retail
dealer up to the great deals made between great financial institutions and
nations themselves.
What does credit stand for? Many credit dealings are of course,
backed by a definite guaranty or “security” in some form, but to a large
extent credit means “confidence”—mutual faith in the ability and integrity
a of both parties to the transaction.
I There is therefore an element of doubt in all this great system of ours.
Still no one would consider for a minute the complete reversal of con
ditions back to the ridiculous simplicity and narrow limitations of barter
and exchange or handling the actual cash involved in a transfer of goods
or property.
All business and banking are a part of this system of credit exchange
which has been so largely responsible for the world’s rapid progress in
everything pertaining to the betterment of mankind in every way.
I To evercome the occasional losses due to such a system, remedial
measures have been often suggested, and one which has proven by test to
be of of great actual worth as stregthening one angle of our credit system
is the Depositors’ Guarantee Fund of the State of Nebraska.
This law affects, of course, only the depositors of State Banks as the
State can have no control over banks not incorporated under its own State
Banking Laws.
However, a depositor in any State Bank in Nebraska has the pro
tection of this fund which now amounts to over one million, one hundred
thousand dollars, and it is hardly believable that a loss to depositors can
1 be possible under this law.

along fine. Mr. Welton expects to re
