TREE from debt, nuisance taxes and other rach
restrictions on business, Nebraska the White Spot
has become the envy of the Nation.
Bat there is still one blot upon the whiteness of our
public policy. We are needlessly penalizing our Stale
Banking System and thereby stifling business in many
of our small towns.
State Banks, in Nebraska, are still subjected to double
liability although State Banks can insure deposits, the
same as National Banks which hare no double liability.
This is an unfair handicap on our State Banks and dis
courages the conducting of a State Bank.
A Bank is necessary to growth and development of
any community. These small towns cannot maintain a
National Bank but they easily could maintain a State
Bank. Double liability is keeping them from having a
Bank.
State banking systems of thirty-five 6tates have no such
burden. ,
At this coming election we can repeal this unnecessary
and harmful law.
Let stop penalizing our State Banking System
Let's be fair to our people who need the advantages of
a JtjanJc , -..,JSJ'V.
This Proposal about State Bants
