MORE MONEY IN THE
BANK UNDER GUARATY UW
The frequency with which failures
of banks and trust companies is being
announced of late causes those of us
wlio have favored a law by which the
depositors in a bank would be fully
guaranteed against loss, in case of a
failure, tends to make one feel cer
tain that the decision of the United.
States supreme court In sustaining
the validity of the banking laws
passed in Nebraska, Kansas and
Oklahoma was a step in the right di
rection, and we opine it will ne but a
few years until similar law3 are on
the statutes of every state in the
union unless It be a few of the east
ern states which are absolutely under
the control ot Wall street and the
trusts. While the gujranty feature
applies to state banks only we are
firm In the conviction that the comp
troller of currency will devise way3
and tneans by which all national
banks will be able to avail themselves
of the opportunity to protect their
depositors. In fact if no such right
is given there Is no doubt but that
national banks will be forced to sur
render their charters and bocoma
stato institutions. A bank that is
backed by state law already passed
upon by the highest tribunal in the
land will naturally attract deposits
from conservative business men and
women. Within a year from the put
ting Into effect of the guaranty law in
Nebraska it Is predicted there will be
millions more of money In the banks
than at present.
