First of the measures on (the bal
le t is the constitutional amendment
to remove the double liability from
stockholder» o f state banks.
■This measure has been on tine
ballot many tim es and, unless pas-
sea, will probably continue to be
found there for some years. Tty?
reason for ‘ft is obvious when the
history o f our banking laws ia told.
About 30 years ago it was de
termined that stockholders of
state banks should be doubly liable
to depositors in case o f bank fa il
ure. It was a good provirfon in
those days when nearly all banks
were state banks. It had a wide
application.
Now there are few state bank?
and most of them were established
p r»r to the time the law went
iirto effect. Banks that were eatao-
lislied before the law went into ef
feet are not under the double lia
bility statute. Neither are national
banks.
The effect of the law now is to
meke it more difficuht to start new
«fate banks as newly established
btr.ks would be subject to the
d<uble liability law. The Federal
Deposit Insurance act guarantees
depositors up to >R>00 which m a-
kes double liah tity o f little value
to the depositor in any event.
