Nebraska Guaranty Deposit Law
Analysis of the Measure That Will Govern the Banks of the State
After Next Thursday With Some Forecast of Its Probable Workings.
Habit and customs ot a lifetime some
cultivated il some coming down from ;he
forefather will be channel by Umalu
people In many walk of life on July 1.
Turning over a new leaf on January 1
will nut be a circumstance to the chanavi
to be forced on railroad, high school u-
dt-uta, saloon keepera, business houses, hO'
tela arid Insurance agents July 1 by the
law of Nebraska riveted on the statute
book by the last legislature under the
guidance of varioua politicians who de
signed early in the game to make a po
litical "experiment station" out ot the
state.
Parsing over the new city charter, which
became effective the day It was approved,
tie next thing of Interest te Omaha Is i.he
much berated S o'clock cloning law which
In two weeks will prevail In the city a.id
state. Under this law all sale of liquor
must cease at S o'clock In the evening
nnd until 7 o'clock the ne"xt morning, com
pletely cutting out "night caps" and "eye
openers."
But on trains It will be even tighter, for
on them It will always be after 8 o'clock.
While liquor has not been sold on train
to any great extent. In the future U will
not be permlesable to even drink on them,
not if the passenger takes his cool bottle
with him when he boards the train. One
sip will be the slKnai for trainmen to eject
the man with the bottle as an Intoxicated
person.
Few Aimed at Railroad.
A few bills of the late lamented Imma
ture were aimed at railroad companies and
kindred concerns. One of these, passed at
the Instigation of the Hallway Employee'
Protective association, will make the rail
road companies put on larger crews after
the first ot July. The new bill provide
that a crew of five men shall be provided
for all trains of five or less cars carrying
passengers, while a crew of six shall be
provided for freight trains carrying pas
sengers and running 100 or more miles.
Another railroad bill orders railroad com
panies to furnish cars In good order and
to receive and transport grain In bulk
within a reasonable time and load without
discrimination between shippers.
A third bill is the reciprocal demurrage
aof. which provides for one thing that
shipments must go forward at the rate of
fifty miles each twenty-four hours, except
live stock shipments. For failure to meet
ihl reaulrement railroad companies shall
pay to the consignee on a stipulated scale
of penalties.
Another bill of a kindred nature pro
hibits line elevators from paying different
prices for grain at different stations,
beyond allowance made for the difference
In freight rates.
Street railway companies get one piece
of beneficial legislation, this being per
mission for them to extend their lines ten
miles outside the city limits provided they
can secure the right-of-way.
That Bed sheet Bill.
Hotels get a rap In the "bed sheet law."
No more will the poor belated traveling
man be compelled to sleep In a bed where
the sheets are .too short and let his toes
play tag with one another out beyond the
covers, for now the sheets must be over
eight feet long. And where Is there the
man who can not be covered by a bed
sheet ninety-nine inches In length, the of'
flclal dimension of the hotel bed sheet as
prescribed by the Nebraska legislature
put to take the sting off the "bed sheet
law," another bill was passed which limit
the liability of the hotel keeper ana pre
vents guests charging him a high price
for a lost grlpAsontalnlng nothing of value.
A fire escape bill which hits hotels and
, many other buildings goes into effect July
I but owners ot the affeoted buildings are
given three months from that date In which
to provide fire escapes. Fire escape chutes
or toboggans and fire pipe ot a dlamter
to fit the appliances of the fire department
In the local city shall be put on all build
ings of more than two stories. Including
very hotel, boarding house, store house,
tenement building, publlo or private Insti
tution, office or store building, school
house, theater, publlo hall, place of as
semblage or publlo resort, containing space
for the occupancy of fifteen or more per
sons. Bap o Fraternities.
The death knell to high school fraterni
ties will be struck on July t and after that
date any high school student who shall
Join a Oreek letter society shall be expelled
forthwith by the Board of Education.
Tha bill changing the membership of ths
Omaha Board of Education and the man
ner of election also becomes effective at
this time. Under the former law the board
was composed of fifteen members elected
at large, but In the future there will be
only twelve members elected, one rrom
each ward. The extra three men on the
board will be dropped, one at a time, and
the change thereby made more easy.
"Tainted money" forms no component
On July first, the Nrhrnska Guarantee
Banking law will go Into effect, unjen
prevented by some action at law by the
banks opposed to It.
While there was much discussion ot the
general proposition during lsst fall's pres
idential campaign, the law which the legis
lature and governor of Nebraska succeeded
finally In enacting, has not been much con
sidered by the publlo. The presumption
seems to exist that In this law the people
of the state have obtained what was de
scribed during the discussion and was
promised by the dominant political faction.
The arguments offered against the pro
position centered principally. In the state,
ment that It would enable men to engage
In the banking business and obtain deposits
upon the credit of a guarantee fund, who,
upon their own credit and capital would
never be able to do business.
If the publlo should be Induced to ac
cept with Implicit confidence the Idea that
such a fund would protect bank depositors
against loss, then It can be esslly seen
that those holding this view would not
deem It necessary to consider the standing
of the banks In which their deposits should
be made, for these deposits would be
equally secure In a bank of small capital
aa In one of large capital. In bank owned
or conducted by dishonest. Incompetent,
nexperlenced or speculative men, aa In
banks managed apd controlled by men of
experience and of assured ability, probity
and worth
That this Is not an exaggerated state
ment from an enemy of the guarantee law,
Is shown by an extract from an editorial
n the Omaha World-Herald Immediately
following the passage of the act which Is
a follows:
It I a bill which does lust thst which
democracy promised
the leaders of democracy promised last
fall that It would do. It furnishes to
every man who ha a dollar deposited In
one ot the state banks of Nebraska ab
solute security and Is a surety that he
will receive that dollar bock, whether the
man to whom he has entrusted It Is a
thief or an honest man. an Incompetent
or an able, financier, whether bank rob
bers break In and steal or Wall street
pirates precipitate a panic.
If It should prove, as will be surely
demonstrated, that this bill has nothing of
the character described and that the
absolute security" referred to In thl edi
torial la really no security at alt then It
can be seen that by the operation of this
law, the people of this state will be made
to run the risk of a great and far reach
ing calamity.
It Is true that such a law as the World-
Herald describes was promised by the
leaders of the democracy, but this law
utterly falls as a fulfilment ot that
promise.
The law proposed by Mr. Bryan and
generally talked by the supporters of the
scheme, was for a definite and fixed cash
fund, to be deposited In the state treasury
and If redoposlted In the banks to te
secured by them In the manner that all
publlo deposits are now secured
Payment to the depositors of a failed
bank was to Immediately follow the clos
ing of the bank.
This Immediate payment Idea was) espe
daily Insisted upon as thereby panics were
to be absolutely abolished and all the
distress and heart rending anxiety ex
perienced by depositors In panics, which
were vividly portrayed with great oratori
cal force and power, were to be abolished
under this beneficent law.
All that the depositor was tailed upon
to do was to present his claim to ths state
treasury and It would bo Immediately paid.
Every one who listened lo the debates
upon this subject last fall cannot fall to
recall that these were the promises made.
But the most enthuslastla supporter of
the guaranty Idea cannot claim that this
"Immediate" payment feature has any ex
istence In this law. Legal proceedings
must be taken, a receiver appointed and
claims filed and proved, substantially In
the same manner as the present law pro
vides, before any payment can be made
to a depositor.
The guarantee fund was to be an ample
sum the figure generally named being that
In the Oklahoma law of 1 per cent of the
deposits, with power to levy at any time
whatever additional sum might be required
This t per cent upon the aggregate dc
posits in Nebraska state bank of about
I'iO.Oon.flno would realise the respectable sum
of $1,200,000, which, however, would not be
too much for the protection of $00,000,000
ot deposits.
Instead of this, the law provides for a
tax of I per cent only one-half of same to
be levied and credited by January 1, VA0.
and the balance by January' 1. Wit, when
the maximum will be reached aside from
the nominal annual tax thereafter. An
additional or emergency levy of 1 per cent
Is provided for, but no more than this can
be levied In any one year.
The maximum fund under thl arrange
ment would be $600,000, In 1911. The Inade
quacy of this sum to protect $r0,000,000 of
deposits must be admitted by everyone.
It would be entirely Insufficient to meet
the demands arising during the panics ot
the past under existing banking condition,
and these demands would certainly not be
lessened under the extraordinary conditions
which It Is believed the fictitious security
offered will foster and encourage under
this guarantee plan,
But serious as this weakness of the law
must appear, it is as nothing compared
with the doubt which may Justly be enter
talned as to the existence of any certain
fund of any amount.
Instead of the sum taxed being paid Into
the state treasury and then redeposlted In
banks only upon safe and approved cash
securities, It operates merely as entrlet
upon the books ot the banks affected.
Drafts upon the so-called fund can only be
made when the occasion of bank failures
call for. them.
This may not occur for many years, and
then It will be for the banks drawn upon
to say whether they will pay or not. There
Is no promise or obligation whatever on
their part and whatever defense they may
have, can be postponed to this period,
when all the damage the plan may cause
will have been accomplished beyond re
pair. It Is true that under the law, the state
banking board may close up banks which
refuse to pay these drafts, but should
several hundred banks Join In the refusal
and demand a test of the legality of the
law, It would be a rather serious proposi
tion on their part to arbitrarily undertake
Its enforcement.
Banks could also avoid payment by going
Into liquidation or by organising under the
national system.

WAKEFIELD'S
Blackberry Balaam
Read This Letter.
I have used Wakefield's Blackberry Bul
um for over forty years. 1 am not giv-
n to writing letters of this kind in tact
never did before in my life, but I do wish
to say to you. It has never fulled ine In
one simile instance nor any of my friends.
I have recommended It to. When druggists
ay to me: "Here is something Just as
good," I tell them very candidly there Is
nothing Just as good. The fact la I havs
nevtr found anything Just as good and J
never expect to. I can cheerfully rreom
mend It to any one young or old for all
Bowel Trouble. It has certainly helped me
when nothing else would.

Wakefield's Iilackberry Balaam has
been the surest and latest remedy for
Dlarrheoa, Dyseutry, Cholera Infantum
and Cholera Morbus for 63 years
While It la quick and positive In Its
action. It Is unlike other remedies In
that it la harmless and doe. not con
stipate. It simply checks the trouble
and puts the stomach and Dowels in
their natural, regular condition. Of the
millions of bottles that have been Bold
In the past 63 years, never has a case
been reported where a cure was not
affected when directions were followed
even after other remedies had failed.
Every home should have a bottle or
more on hand ready for sudden attacks.
part and therefore "Dr." Bryan allowed
the passage of the teachers' pension bill
and becomes a law on July 1. It Is not In
cumbent upon teachers to take advantage
of the new law, but those who so desire
may pay Into the pension fund 15 per cent
ot their salaries. Teachers on the "perma
nent" list may retire after thirty-five
years' servtce; must retire after forty
years' service, and if twenty years ot this
time has been spent In the Omaha public
schools they shall receive an annuity of
$S00 through life. If there Is not enough
money in the fund to pay the annuity, then
the school district shall make up the de
ficiency. Two Other Pension Bills.
Two other pension bills become effective
on the same date. These apply to mom
bers of the fire and police forces. The men
on the forces pay Into the fund as now,
but In addition all fines of members, pay
ment for special service, witness fees In
criminal cases, gifts, sale of lost or stolen
articles, forfeited cash ball, and balances
In the departmental funds at the close of
the fiscal years shall go Into the pension
fund.
Three of the new laws will effect dealers
In food stuffs. All commission merchants,
of whom there are about fifty In Omaha,
selling farm, dairy, orchard or garden
produce or wares on assignment must pay
a $10 license. The net weight of tha con
tents must be stamped en all food pack
ages put up by a wholesaler or manufac
tursr, except meat products, canned corn
canned and preserved fruit, though the
bill applies to any lard substitute. The
third law enlarges the powers of the pure
food commission and provides that all
bakeries, confectioneries, packing houses,
dairies, creameries, restaurants, hotels.
groceries and other places used for the
preparation or sale of food shall be well
lighted and ventilated, and especial pre
caution shall be taken against the fly.
iKDraurt Measure.
Under a bill Introduced by an Insurance
agent senator a non-resident of the state
cannot sell any Insurance of any charac
ter In Nebraska. The new law also pro
hibits a Nebraska agent, from sharing his
premiums with a partner or a "general
agent" living In another state.
Lazy husbands or fathers who refuse
to support their families and Jailed for this
cau'-e may give bond and secure release,
and a Judge may, at his own discretion,
parole a person convicted of a felony,
short of murder, providing the prisoner
was convicted on his first offense.
Other new laws provide that the county
commissioners shall, upon petition, mark
with nvMal markers the graves of soldiers
of the civil war; the county commissioners
shall draw the names for a grand Jury an
nually unless ordered to the contrary by
the Judge; the mayor of Omaha may ap
point a fire warden at $1,600 a year, with
the approval of the Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners; the county attorney
shall receive $4,000 a year Instead of $2, CO)
and the bailiffs of the district court shall
receive $1,200 a year Instead of 00, and
tha Deaf Institute shall bs known as ths
Nebraska School for the Deaf.

James J. Hill,
And the poet-laureate of the northern
railroads still believes In the spirit ot this
poem put up a good front.
Some years ago the Burlington headquar
ters In Omaha were rebuilt and splendid
general offices provided for the employes
of the road In Omaha.
When this building was remodelled a pair
of heavy oak doors were placed at the en
tranue to the office building on the Far
naiti street side. These are on the outside
and exposed to the direct rays of the sun
anJ to all kinds of weather.
To keep these doors In first-class order
three men have worked assiduously for
four years. Scarcely a week goes by but
these doors are treated to a fresh coat of
varnish. About every two weeks the old
varnish is scraped off and new added.
For the last four years patrons of the
road have met with these painters working
on the front door of the ' headquarters
building, and It has been necessary to walk
underneath a ladder to enter the building.
The governor in a recent address de
clared that the people of the state de
manded the passage of this guarantee law
and Intimates dire results to whose who
would oppose the will of the people by
litigation.
If the people really demanded the pas
sage of a guarantee law which, however,
may of Itself be doubted, the question not
being a direct Issue In the last election
It may be safely asserted thst the demand
from whoever It came was not for a more
"make believe" guaranty, but for some
thing at least as definite and complete as
the Oklahoma law.
The grounds upon which the legality of
the law may be attacked seem plainly ap
parent to even the layman.
Doubtless the proposed action of the
united banks to prevent the law going Into
operation, will be prosecuted In the federal
courts. There the simple proposition Is
presented, whether under any process of
law, a bank can be compelled to con
tribute rrom Its cash resources to the
use and purposes of another Institution.
But the violation of our stute consti
tution seem still more apparent.
Take for Instance the technical question
ef title.
Our constitution requires that no bill
shall contain more than one subject, and
the same shall be clearly expressed In Its
title.
In order to meet thl requirement the
title of our present banking law Is con
tained in thirty-six lines that of the new
law has less than five lines. It Is cjn
dtttised In the words "regulation, supervis
ion and control" of the banking business.
All banking laws are for these purposes,
and no one reading this title could gather
therefrom that the bill contained the un
usual and extraordinary provision for an
enforced mutual guarantee . fund and for
the levy of a special tax upon the capital
stock of the banks to maintain the tame,
The authority for the legislature to levy
taxes for any purpose must be derived
from the constitution.
Th constitution authorises a levy for
revenue purposes only, and then this levy,
if upon property, must be by valuation
In such a manner as to be equal, and
upon occupations. It must be uniform as
to the class upon which It operates.
No one will claim that the tax proposed
Is for revenue purposes, and If it was bo It
would be unequal.
The tax is levied upon the capital stock.
not by valuation, but In proportion to de
posits. In this manner a bank having a
capital of the actual value of $25,000 may
be taxed ten times more than a bank hav
ing ten times Its capital.
The deposits of a bank constitute Its
debts, and this law undertakes to tax not
upon the value of the bank's property, but
upon the volume of Its debts.
It was asserted by those having charge
of the measure In the legislature that able
legal talent was engaged In Its preparation
and that It would stand all legal test. If
that Is so, then certainly no harm will be
done by the demonstration of the fact.
On the other hand, the danger Is appar
ent If the law should be permitted to go
Into effect and no contest Is made until
perhaps five or ten years hence, when the
occasion arises for the use of the guaran
tee fund.
The action now being taken by the banks
Is not only In the furtherance of their own
personal Interests, but it Is In the Interest
of the publlo as well, and bank depositors
who will be the main beneficiaries, must In
the end, If they do not do so now, cor
dially approve ot the course adopted.
