Tho featuro of tho nnnunl meeting ot

held yesterday at tho (Jrand hotel, was nn
address by D. L. Helnshclmer, president of
tho Mills County National bank of Olen
wood, In which ho suggested that all banks
bo tnxed on their deposits to provide n re

bunks. This ho suggested as a plnn to pro
vent panics caused by tho suspension of
bnuklng Institutions. Mr. Helnshclmer said
in part:

organization of tho system Is enly 370. The
amount of nil claims provod against these
blinks placed In tho hands of receivers was
J127,002.i93. Dividends wore paid by receiv
ers amounting to $HM.193.!)7S, leaving a bul
nnco unpaid of $22,S08,U17." These figures,
togother with tho largo amount of assets
still In the hands of tho rocolvers prove
that the loss to the depositor Is but nom
inal; that to secure the depositor practi
cally In tho same manner ns tho nation fill
bank circulation Is scoured Is feaslblo.
This Idea of securing the depositor Is in
the Interest of maintaining confldenco and
stability In tho country nnd In tho banks,
nnd conllnlng disaster as much ns possible,
without Involving tho wholo country.
I would ndvocnto a law to tax bankers.
A tnx for tho purpose of paying the lc
Tosltors of Insolvent bunks, tho fund to oo
placed In tho linnds of tho government for
this purpose; the tax to bo bnsed upon tho
amount of tho deposits for tho preceding
yenr, taking nn averago from tho called
statements of the bank. This fund conlil
bo In government bonds. Tho benefit to tho
banker, should this bo done, would re-f.ilt
from tho fact that It would bo Impossible
to create a financial panic. Tho depositor
feeling securo aa to his deposit would be
have Just as ho now does when In possjj
slon of a national noto on a bunk that has
failed. The depositor would receive ills
money from the government as soon as his
claim was properly proved, or It thero
should bo delay he could borrow on It tho
full amount of his clnlm. or sell It If ho to
preferred, nt a nominal discount. Tho.-e
would bo no Increase of reserve necessary,
ns there would be no necessity to hoard frr
panic-stricken banker nnd depositor.
((lirnttoit of Cont.
How much will It cost? I havo mentioned
that there Is nn unpaid balance of 122.000,000
In round numbers duo depositors In In
solvent national bnuks. To offset this
there Is In tho hands ot receivers remain
ing ussets of a nominal vnluo ot $33,S9I,770.
and 12.004,290 in cash, making u total of
JI2.I09.OTO almost ?2 for every one yot duo
tho creditors. That a considerable portion
of this Is colleetlblo I infer from the f.ict
that the above Includes tho twelve national
banks placed In tho hands of receivers last
year, 'from whose assets at this tlmo very
little could havo been paid. Of tho 370 total
failures, thero nro yet 133 Insolvent banks
In the hands ot receivers, and this would
Indicate that the remaining nominal assets
will very nearly make up tho shortage, Tho
denoslts lu national banks today nro about
$2,500,000,000, nnd 1 per cent tnx would rnlso
$25,000,000, or $3,000,000 more than tho entire
present shortage of Insolvent national
banks, covering fho thirty-seven years r,f
the exlstenco of the national bank system.
Tho attendance was not ns largo ns hud
been expected, but this did not detract from
tho succes of tho meeting. Two sessions
were held, one in tho morning and tho
other In tho afternoon. Between sesnlons
the members dined together nt tho hotol

P. Wentz of Oakland, chairman of tho
group, responding In an o'qunlly felicitous
mnnner. Mr. Helnshelmer delivered his ad
dress at this session.
Tho following subjects were discussed nt
tho afternoon session; "Should All Banks
bo Under Natlonnl or Stato Control 1"
"Comptroller of tho Currency Dawes' Crit
icism of Loans to National Bank Officers
nnd Directors," "Tho New Currency Bill."
"Roforms Needed In the Rovcnuo Lawn."
Ono of tho reforms ncoded In tho lnws,
all tho bankers present declared, was the
repeal of tho special tax laid upon bank
capital and Hurplus by tho rovcnuo law of
1898. A discussion of tho matter developod
tho fact that tho state association Is co
operating with other associations of llko
character throughout tho country with a
view to having congress at this session
grant relief from what tho bankers claim
an unjust tax. Tho officers of tho group
wero directed to communicate with tho
Iowa delegation In congress with a view to
having it use Its Influence in securing a re
peal of tho tax.
Group 1 of the Bankors' association
comprises eleven counties, ns follows: Craw

Tho election of officers ot the group will

iiuonnan came ny nu death.
Hoollhan had about $300 on deposit with
Officer ft Pusey, but when the receivers
tcok hold of tho bank they could not lo
cato him. November 30 he appeared at the
bank, asking for his "dividend," and when

tho hands of receivers filed his claim. At
that tlmo he gave his address as the
Aetna hotel, Omaha. It Is not known that
ho had any relntlves in thlB city nnd It Is
