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

that the goxernor be given wide pow
ers to deal with any situation that

GUARANTY OK IKPOSlTS.
Some letlln of Proposed System for
llunkitig Institutions.
By .lohn E. Lathrop.
CHICAGO, Sept. 17. 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

How Irfiw Actually Works.

themselves approximately one-third
of the total. I lo made demand for

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.

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

depositors, later being reimbursed by
the cnnital stock.
