States shnuM be insured."
Two Valuahta Contributions.
These two men hav offered valua
ble eintributlons to the dlscusson of
the proposed guars u tee of bank de
po;s. Mr. tiage has set forth the
pn-sent trend of bankers towards a
closer watchfulness over all Inst tu
tlons which meept the peipls money
in trust, and has Indicated the exrt.-t
means n hereby, under a guarantee
law. bankers would do as now they do
maim u un assm'iution empowered
to look sharply '"to tlnanciul courerns
w h ii h seem to be depart! .iff from
sound methods.
Ills referent f to the John R. Wslsh
failure In Chicago was doubtless be
tiuiw It was known to the country
gi'iierally. having been given wide pub
III Ity and therefor n.ost likely to at
tract attention n an illustration.
However, there ia acarcery a lovall
ty wlieivln bankers in lute years have
lint gone under toppling bunks and up
held them by guaranteeing deposits
wholly or In part, in order to help in
the quelling of .popular distrust and
the undermining of confidence In all
banking Institutions,
Na Drtay for tepoitora.
It It quite spa re tit that nnder
guarantee of deposits there would be
no alteration of conditions alTevUog
banks now. so far as four-cms espion
age maintained hy one over another.
The Important difference, however,
would be tliat depositors would not bs
subject to the iiunoylug. often dlsas
trous, delays In getting their money
which now they experience when
banks fall.
Hut, that fewer failures would oc
cur surely would be one of the re
sults of such a luw. Everyone knows
thnt many runs are precpitated on
bunks which are absolutely sound.
Many a man, faithful, safe, conserva
tive, conscientious lu curing for the
money of his depositors, bus suffered
runs caused by some rumor started
through malice. Many an honest
banker has hud his heart broken by
senseless runs, and bus grouned In
spirit os he realized that gross Injus
tice has been done as reward for ear
nest and able keeping of the trust to
posed in blm by his depositors.
The Raring Failure.
When a dozen years ago, Rnrtnft
Itrothers. of London sutpcudid, It wui
due to that very esplouuge by other
bunkers to whloii Mr. tiuge refers.
The Darings had etn burked In many
Soiith American enterprises, some of
which were manifestly unsafe.
The governors of the Hank of Eng
land, sensing the danger, refuted to
accept securities backed by them us
basis for the Issuance of bunk notes
under the custom of that country; that
action never has been adversly criti
cized In any country, although It has
been discussed ever since the world
over.
Modern business Is conducted on the
basis for the Issuance of bank notes
tie actual money passes from h.ind to
bund.
Modern System of Credits.
Tou go to your bank with a bundle,
of checks and drafts and deposit them
to your credit. Against that account
thus opened, you draw checks. They
puss Into the world of business, are
accepted at face value, nud clr u
late virtually as does gold, silver ami
currency. If you pay your bills in
checks, often you pass through weeks
st a time when you have only a trifle
of loose change in your pocket for
street enr fare and the 8 mul I things
you need from day to duy costing too
little to bother to draw a check.
"A check cancelled Is a voucher,"
has become a maxim lu the business
world.
Complication of the System.
This complicates business and forces
all banks to nssoclute themselves In
clearing Louses, and probably the pub
lic would be amazed were they to
know at times how sharply the clear
lug house committee looks Into meth
ods employed by Its memters.
In the panic that beg i: last October,
funds were curried fr. 'junk to bank,
taken ostentatiously through the front
doors, that deiositors might know that
other banks believed lu the soundness
of the Institution which hud been at
tacked by n run, and iwrformed al
most every esscutlul of the guarantee
system.
Why?
Simply becauap the modern' business
system Is so complicated and so little
actual money passes current thut each
bank must It now that tin? others are
properly safeguarding themselves and
also that they arc permitting the car
rying of accounts by depositors whose
paper may utwuys be depended ou as
worth face value.
Beneath the Surface. -
Ho beneath the surface, one could
witness the clearing house associa
tions eiumluing collateral, securities
nud assets, uud often serving notice
on u given bank that the association
will require some change in methods
on penalty of refusal longer to clear
for thut bank.
Hanks Out of the Association.
How about bunks not lu the associa
tion? Many perfectly sound bnnks are
not directly lu the clearing house.
They clear through another bunk
which dues belong.
Precisely the same rule applies to
them, for, when need arises, the asso
ciation serves notice on the member
bank which clears for the non-asso-clutlon
bank as to whut will have to
be done; and It ia done promptly, too,
In every Instance.
Dank -Book Should lie Worth Face.
The essence of the guarantee plan la
that a bank book should tie worth Its
face always. An entry In a pass book
should not constitute the assumption
of a risk hy the depositor and the giv
ing of wide latitude to the banker.
Such entry should be recognized as
just as actual an asset aa a bank uote.
Also, proper arrangements must be
made for the continued espionage of
bauki by other banks.
Lastly, and quite aa Important,
banking laws must be enforced; over
certification niuit be stopped; loaning
of funds In national bauks on obvious
ly speculative schemes must cease;
und other reforms must be wrought to
Invest fhe banking system of the
country with shut complete confidence
which. If induced would put a stof)
to all nervousness by depositors.
