K mm HANLY Indiana Legislature Faces Loca1 Option Question A COUNTY LAW DEMANDED 13 Connties Already Mhout Silooos Law Ntctssaiy lo Protect To bacco Growers INDIANAPOLIS. Intl., Sept. 18 Hoosler lawmakers gathered In the capital today, at the call of Governor Hauly, to begin what will probably be the most Important special session of the legislature ever held In In diana. Although other vital matters are up for consideration, the fight for and against enacting a county local 'option law will likely be the feature of the session. Governor Hanly Is a prononunced temperance advocate and his highest ambition is to place Indiana in the ranks of the" "dry" states. Vnder the Moore remon strance law, a large part of the state Is already free of saloons. A county local option law, such as proposed by Governor Hanly, would likely drive the liquor dealers from all but a few large cities, and wot'ild serve as an entering wedge for state-wldo pro hibition. That the governor's attempt to force the local op'ion measure may have grave results on the national election is admitted. Many politic ians believe that the acceptance or rejection by the legislature of a coun ty local option bill is likely to change the entire political complexion of the brewers and liquor dealers realize the gravity. of the situation nnd will do their utmost to prevent the pas sage of the local option act. Vnder the workings of the Moore VCStS -fHE FPREMOST DRY GOODS ESTABLISHMENT OF SOUTHERN OREGON lftS remonstrance act, at the present time there are In all 704 "dry" townships in the state out of 1016. There nr.? j twenty-one counties in the state which have saloons In only one place: IS with saloons In o:ily two placet, and 13 more in which the mnjorl'y of the population live In "dry" ter ritory. An understanding of the MMre ro ni ons trance law may throw some liht upon the remarkable advance of prohibition In Indiana. Under it, the majority of voters In any town ship or in any city ward, by re monstrating In writing against the granting of licenses, are enabled to close the saloons in that township for two years.. Remonstrating campaigns take place regularly. It may be begun any day, and two days later the saloons of the district are closed. Two "dry" years are apt to make that particular township undesirable to the saloon keeper, who movos, never to return. If the plans of the anti-saloon workers, are carried out, the passage of a county local option measure will be but a step toward the submission of a constitutional amendment pro viding state-wide prohibition in 1911. A vote on this question, the "drys" believe, would result in banishing liquor from Indiana forever. As the situation Is now. Indiana has thirteen counties which are wholly without the saloon. The pas sage of a local option law, tho anti saloon workers believe, will mean at least SO "dry" counties out of the !2 within two years. The constitu tional amendment they rely upon to settle the matter for all time. To Prevent Tnlmtvo .aids. Another consideration will have to do with providing protection against the night riders of southern Indiana. There have been no recent depreda tions, hut the tobacco crop Is not vet harvested, so raids are expected. The The experience of Kentucky and Ohio has demonstrated Mint a state militia is unable to cope with masked mar auders who ride and burn and mur der at unexpected hours in unexpect ed places, so it is though desirable that the goxernor be given wide pow ers to deal with any situation that mav develop.

A case In point of the operation of tho bank depositors guaranty law is that of the International bank at Coulgate. Okln. which failed last spring. De positors were paid In full just as quickly as they asked for their mon ey and proved their claims. The en tire process of accomplishing th If unprecedented thing consumed only a few minutes literally, a few min utes; for, surely, GO minutes Is not long for an official In charge of r wrecked bank to open its doors and proclaim that all depositors ma. have their money at their option. The democratic position In I 111 campaign Is that a bank passbook should be worth Its face value at any time. It should bo virtually tin same as a hank noto in its nego tiability. It represents actual money paid over to the bank, not Invested in some enterprise, but from the stand point of the depositor, merely stored for safekeeping, and should be avail able at tho option of the owno;. Tho story of tho Coaigato haul reads strange enough, when placed alongside the history of some oiliei bank failures, and seems to argue for the general application of tht guarantee plan to nntlonal bnnks, ut In Oklahoma there Is a guaruntoe ol deposits In state banks. How Irfiw Actually Works. The bank commissioner discover ed that of the deposits in that bank two of tho ofllcers had loaned ti themselves approximately one-third of the total. I lo made demand for the return of these borrowed funds Return was not made. He closed the bank at 2:15 o'clock p. m. Thurs day evening. Ho telegraphed (In state board the facts. Ho was In structed to proceed at onco to pay all approved deposlta. To be exact, it was precisely 42 minutes from tho moment of the closing of the bank to tho moment when the commission began paying tho depositors. An on Friday even ing CO per cent of the deposits had been paid in full. When another day had passed 90 per cent of the deposits had been paid. The balance, 10 per cent, was ready for payment to depository, but they seemed not to bo In a hurry to get their money. So secure were these deposuorR in ho knowledge that they could have heir money nt will that Bonie furm- ers, busy 111 tho country telephoned that tnev could not conveniently come to town to draw their money nnd would come In in a week or two to get it. lank Wreckers I'unlslieil. Tint that Is not the whole story. Not only did that bank commissioner wind up the affairs of tho wrecked bank promptly nnrl with absolutely no Inconvenience lo the depositors, but the othor features of Oklahoma's hanking laws were enforced. The of llcers who Illegally had loaned Hie bunk's funds to themselves were In dicted and punished, but the ndjust- eat was accomplished wlinoul loss to the stnte guarantee fund, for nie caoltal stock was sufficient to cover the deficiency, nnd ino Biaie lunu mnrelv was used pronitply to pay tin depositors, later being reimbursed by the cnnital stock. nstead of waiting for days mr ine receiver's report, having the receiver negotiate to realise on tho bank's nssets. and then, after montns oi ue lay. pay depositors their runos, or as so often haptens, only a sniaii pan of their funds, there was no delay no loss to a depositor.
