A LABOR DAY EDITORIAL ae By C. G. Stoll—Manager Western Electric Company. Labor Day is the nation’s annual tribute to the great human effort that is behind all its progress. We may talk of the wonders of science, of the great mechanisms that have come to be part of our daily life, but in pausing once a year in honor of the workingmar, we are impressed with the fact that without human effort all that we know as civilization would be impossible. The progress of our race has been dependent upon the earnest endeavor of the man in the ranks. In our eager desire to. honor the leaders of civilization, we must not lose sight of the fact that without the co-operation of the great prmy of “workers” we could never have entered upon this era of large accomplishments. The man in the ranks may not have discovered the great forces behind modern accomplishments and he may not understand their application, but without him they would not have been realized upon. Nothing exemplifies this bet- ter than the electrical industry. Without the thousands of men and women who have helped change the plaything of a scientific laboratory into an absolute necessity in the brief space of two generations, practical electricity, the greatest contributing factor to mod- ern progress would never have been possible. The mechanic in the shops turning out the thousands of devices needed in our great communication and power sys- tems, the lineman laboring night and day, winter and sum- mer, to maintain service and the telephone girl at the switch- board sticking to her post in the face of every danger. all have played a big part in our national development. They should not be overlooked in our tribute to those who are help- ing to carry humanity steadily forward. GUARANTY OF BANK DEPOSITS When the law makers let down the bars and encourage unsound banking such as permitting the establishment of banks upon insufficient capital and reserve, permitting these banks to be established in cities where banking facilities are more than adequate now, the innocent depositor ‘is usually the sufferer. North Dakota has done this very thing and before the tangle is straightened out, the responsibility to these de- positors must be faced. The Tribune is opposed to the state guaranty of bank deposits. Under the present law, the state does not guar- antee any deposits; the banks are merely assessed an amount believed to be adequate to pay off the depositors who might lose through the failure of any bank—a tax againsi rt ‘banking to protect the depositor against unsound anking. hie : “Unfortunately some banks seized upon this law to herald the fact that their deposits were guaranteed under the law when the very opposite has worked out. Much money came into this state on the strength of this security which has proved to be fallacious. Some widows and orphans believ- ing, their money safe with the state standing as a security against reckless and dishonest banking placed their money in-banks now closed. Some pitiable stories have reached The Tribune office of:the misplaced confidence encouraged by the legend on bank checks and letter heads; “The deposits of this bank guaranteed under the state law.” There: are thousands of depositors in the same boat. Uptess their deposits are made good, some reckoning will be demanded at: future legislatures. Proposals were mae at the last session. “In this connection it is only fair to state that the Guar- anty Fund Commission or the present state administration 2 not to blame, but rather. the regime that preceded which allowed the kind of banking exemplified :in the Scandinavian American bank; the Bank of North Dakota, the post-dated cheek, the unsound and indefensible expansion of credit for ical and semi-political undertakings. “Then too under that same regime bank examination was largely a farce as has been disclosed in the closing of many s. During the last six or seven years there has been a criminal laxness in the supervision of our state banking syed that has produced a situation which the present waranty fund cannot meet nor was never designed to meet. eaThe theory of guaranteed bank deposits is wrong but it dg a double menace when unsound banking is permitted Boise bank examination becomes a farce. If the guar- anty bank act is to be continued on the statute books in thé*future the most rigid bank examination is necessary ter care must be exerted in granting new charters. is the present administration seems to be doing, but inherited a serious problem in the handling of the its in the closed banks. The present predicament id merely warn banks in the future not to bait deposits the pretense that the state guarantees deposits: when in it never has and does not do so now. "There is jn the state guaranty fund now some $945,000 aed by a tax on banks of one-fourth of one per cent. fan. 1, 1923, there were claims under the act amounting. 444,275. Of this sum some $2,684,000 have been re- ‘as not valid claims under the guaranty act.
