patchwork bill called, the Vreeland--

bankers favor the guaranty of national
bank deposits, anions them the . dis

treasury, who aays; ,

"Some of the objections to the guar

might be given power to do that In its

The fact that the' Platform 1 snores
the Oklahoma method ,1s evidence that
it jloes not gpirrov it; and its phrase
ology Indicates that it lacks confidence
- lnT Independent action on the part
o" the stmte banka There being reason
for this lack of confidence In the his
tory of the note Issues of the state banks
under the heterogeneous systems which
prevailed before the war, causing a loss
of many millions of dollars to thlr note
holders. The framers of that platform
well knew thatUn; our so-called state
oanxe we nave 4S different systems,
food and bad, old and new, with o fem
lance of uniformity, furnishing no re
liable data -upon which to base a guar
anty, law acceptable to . conservative
bankers. On the other hand, our na
tional ayatem, with its 44 years of ex
perience. Including three periods of
great financial stress, furnishes suoh re-
uaoie aata pertaining to possible maxi
mum and minimum losses, and the aver
age losses to depositors in insolvent
national banks for that nariod. as to
enable It oloeely and safely to estimate
lroaiii sum zuiure losses. Mence tne
only guaranty legislation surges tod In
the platform pertains to national banks
and suoh state banks as may voluntarily
adopt the same or a similar plan. It
suggests no plan simply promulgates
the doctrine. Thla would apparently
give great advantage to the national
ank for reasons above eta ted. vet no
hegira from the state banks need be
expected indeed, Under normal condi
tions a guaranty would make little dif
ference with ths patrons of a bank, but

ment ' has been cut down .to about the
one-twentieth part of 1 per cent of. the
average deposits.- ' j
Again, - it is regrettabls, that disin
genuous sUitementa should be -made to
the public upon this question, especi
ally by those la a position to know , the
facts. For instance, I quote below a
stock argument used by Mr. Taft in his
oampalgn Itinerary: ' ' :
"It la permissible under the national
banking act for banks to organise with
a capital f 126,000. The security
which banks offer the depositors . de
pends upon the amount of capital, the
amount of surplus and publlo confidence
in ma officers or the institution.

nnalrora In a hank with a canltal Oi
$26,000 and no surplus, and with oft I-
mee in calllnr out of hldtnaf monev
hoarded by a class of people who had
before been afraid of all hanks.
,. t ratrons Save Blind, ralta.
To show that detositcra do not nau.
ally patronise one bank Instead of an
other on- account, of comparative
strength and safety, but that they con
sider ail banks safe. I will, cite the pres
ent status of banking In Oregon. Seo-
tion or our constitution provides that
"The stockholders of ail corporations i
anq joint siock companies anaii te liable
for the Indebtedness of said corporation
to the amount of their stock unpaid and
no more," ao that under our law the de
positor In ai state bank has no recourse
upon the officers arrd shareholders, but
must rely solely upon the assets of the
bank; while- the depositor In a national
bank Is scoured by the personal liabil
ity of every shareholder to the extent
of the full par value of, his stock In
addition to bis original payment of Its
par value. Yet, about one half of the
deposits In this state are held by the
relatively insecure Dan as.
The sniaranty 'Plan Is Impractical. In
Oregon except by voluntary action of
such of the state banks as 'would be
willing to be Jointly liable for each
other and without personal liability of
shareholders Its guaranty fund would
necessarily . be very large to be ade
quate. .
xs jsuiwanc or nyseem. - -The
creat bulwark ef the national
banking system Is the reserve of $906,-
eoo.ooo personal liability or its stock
holders and it la due to the fact that
Xshla reserve has been so liberally drawn
upon in uie past to meet tne liability
of its insolvent banks that the average
Idea to depositors since its establuh-
eers of little experience and indiffer
ent reputation can orrer tne puoiio ex
actly the same seourity. for the payment
of deposits as a bank with a capital
of $600,000, a surplus of $260,000 and
with officers known to be honest and
abla Depositors, therefore, Insofar as
security of deposits is concerned, are
as likely to make their deposits in ths
$26,000 bank as in the bank with the
capital of $600,000." w .
'ow Mr. Taft, lcng-rTMie member of
the cabinet and candidate for the 'office
of president of the United States, should
know that "it Is permissible under the
national banking act for banka to or
ganise with a capital of $26,000" only
In towns of not more than 8,000 popu
lation where it would be Impossible to
come Into competition with a bank of
$600,000 capital and $260,000 surplus."
If Mr. Taft does not know better some
friend In the currency . bureau should
correct his blunder.
Xepeate Taffs Blunder.
Another of his statements repeated
by the Baltimore Sun, Is that the lbse to
depositors "amounts In the national
banks of the oountry to one-twenty-sixth
ef one per oent of the deposits
each year" and In another place gives
the present amount of deposits at $e,
000,000,000. The fact Is that the loss of
one-twenty-sixth of one per cent was
ths average loss to depositors upon the
annual -average deposits of national
banks since their organisation, auch
annual average deposits being bat lit
tle in excess of $1,600,000,000. Now
as the loss to depositors has no rela
tion to the amount of deposits, some of
the heaviest losses having occurred
when deposits were at the lowest ebb,
the nercentaare of the annual lose at
present would be as 1 Is to 6, but mak
ing the correction upon the basis of
the last report of the comptroller of the'
currency ft wouid really be approxi
mately one-fiftieth of one per cent. .
Again Mr. Tan says: i
"In Oklahoma, the place where they
ry out the experiments, they are flnd
nr that banks are belna- orkanlsed
with a capital of $10,000 by persons
who have failed In ths banking business
before, by men that are under charges
of embezzlement, but who are able to
ret deposits by saying to depositors:
1 am a good fellow and want you to
ualn me out Put 'your monev In mv
back, . because this million-dollar bang!
up ner of Mr; umun s is my security
t H a , vmi -vtll arm vmir ,nAaUA-tnr., ' '
Bephes to M. Tart.
Now what bearing has this upon the
question of the guaranty by the govern
ment of deposits in itiiOwn hafiksf To
the old timers ef the south, Mr. Taft's
present Itinerary will recall .that Of his
mythical prototype of "Baron Roor
back's" tour through the westers -and
southern states.
There are Jtngoa on both' sides of
this question who .are detrimental to
its solution. Ths optimist who builds
castles In the air and deems the guar
anty a panacea for all financial' ills,
that under its provision there can be
no panics, that by some occult process
fold csn be instantaneously transferred
rom New Tork to Portland to meet
the exigencies of commerce. . and, on
the other hand it can be miraculously
wafted back again to meet the exchange
demands of our customers Ignores the
fact that over 00 per cent of tho busi
ness of the country Is based on credit
and that when any locality demands the
cash that it sometimes becomes a
physical Impossibility to comply . with
,the demand.
a lt As not ajguestlPii ef sanfldjnce In
responsibility and ability finally to pay
the demand, but in confidence In 1 the
ability to pay now and here that caused J
me -panto or. a year w """
hand we. have the pessimist, "the
calamity Howleri who predicts absolute
ruin of the good banks of the present
by amnvaslon of swindlers and raacaia
who will leave the gambliag tables and
Urt banks i purposely to wreck them
to gat rich on the spoUa This class
w6uid lead 'you to', believe a paradox.,
via .that guaranteeing deposits will re
sult in unsafe banking, that national
banks are safe now because . they are
not perfectly secure, and that to make
them perfectly secure would make them
unsafe. ' ""r" --.
To establish the fact that our nation
al banking System .was not Irkglby
the banks and capita list ftfiat'day
but was-purely a ereafon of the goy
ernment and forced upon the, banks by
the- exigencies of wet,' and that there
is a moral obllgatlonas well as a fiscal
one on' the pert of the government to
Indemnify their depositors against loss,
we need but" review briefly their history.
History of Ban-inr. '
TheJ financial crisis of; 186T had rM
the several states banking easterns of
thAlo iiAinnnil lnMtnttnna' leavlnr but
few atandinir In the west, and placing:
the whole oountry on a solid specie pay-l
ins; casus. . , inuring tne general suspen
sion, the well-secured notes of the east
ern and New England state circulated
there as freely as before, but the weet
ern states had practically no currency
left but gold, and having lost heavily
through the depreciation of their poorly
secured bank circulation, were loath to
reinstate paper1 currency of any kind;
The constitution of our own state (sec
tion 1, article 11), .bears evidence of
this revulsion In its prohibition of banks
of issue, and our subsequent- adherenoe
to the gold standard throughout the
war vu tha. raault of the same feeling
whloh permeated all the west and which
east of the Stocky mountains was over
come by contiguity alona Again the
remoteness of the Faclfi elope coupled
with the fact that It had no backs or
Issue led It to adhere to the gold stand
ard In all transactions except those)
with the general government. '
The entire national debt at the begin
ning of 181 was abotrt $90,000,000. The
customs fell off durlnar the year In eon
sequence of the taking effect in April
of the Morrill .protective tariff (the
first Republican tariff) so that they
amounted for the current, year to (only
I39,000,,000. less tnan naa Deen reansea

culation consisted ot nots (of spew

and subsidiary sliver, $240,000,000.
"' . Was 'War Time Measure.
On July 17, 1881, Just four days prior
to the disastrous defeat of our armies
at Bull Run, within cannon sound f

This was the first note Issue of the
rovernment The banks of New Tork,
Philadelphia and Boston? immediately
took $60,000,000 of the bonds, advancing
the gold as required by the government.
Later these same banks took $60,000,000
more.
In the meantime the; conclusion was
reluctantly reached by the government
and the people that the war was not to
be ended In a few months, and that the
fireparatlons financially were entirely
nadequate to the pressing needs present
and future. The banks had parted with
$100,000,000 of their gold which the
government could not repay and the In
ability to respond to further calls,
coupled with the rumor that con frees
was about to' Issue a large amount of
notes giving them legal-tender powers,
