PUELICHER President American Bankers Association When Gor- ernor Walton of Oklahoma signed Tecently the re- peal of the bank deposit guaranty law in that state, he performed an economic service to the whole coun- try. I mighteven say that Okla- homa in passing that law, enduring its evil conse- quences for fifteen years and then frankly casting it aside as a failure, has performed an economic service to the nation. There could be no more convincing argument against the pas- sage of similar laws in other states than Oklahoma’s disastrous exper! ment. The Oklahoma guaranty law was the first of its kind. It was enacted in response to the panic of 1907. But experience has only proved again that there is no substitute for sound bank- ing. Relying on the fancied security of the guaranty law, people entrusted their banking to many who were un- fit for the trust. Bank failures have been #0 many that the fund, sup posed to guarantee deposits, created by assessments on banks, was long ago depleted. It is estimated that with total liabil- ities created under the law in the form of warrants and sums owing to depositors amounting to $12,000,000, there are in the hands of the Banking Board uncertain assets of nominally $15,000,000, ranging in value from zero to only thirty or forty cents on the dollar, resulting in a deficit of many million dollars. Sound, well-man- aged banks have been heavily taxed by assessments to the fund, and the maximum amount that could be as- sessed on solvent banks is insufficient to cover the deficit. It has been well said that guaranty laws make for looseness in banking methods, and saddle on the com- petent and honest the sins of the in- competent and dishonest. Let us have only laws that raise the standard of banking. Let us have no laws that debase it. NEED FOR UNIFORMITY IN BUSINESS. LAWS How Collection of Just Debts May Be Prevented by Differing State Statutes. J. H. Puelicher An effort to bring about better co- ordination and greater uniformity among state laws dealing with busi- ness and banking is being made by the American Bankers Association. It is pointed out that, although the country is a unit commercially, and citizens of any one state may do busi- ness that reaches all over the coun- try, most laws governing business transactions are made by the differ- ent states, with application limited to their own local jurisdictions and often in conflict with laws in other states. It is held that state laws should be uniform so that the same transaction will not be subject to different sets of rules according as state laws differ. To illustrate the disadvantages of conflicting laws, the following illus- tration is given: Mr. Jones lives in New York where the statute of limita- tions outlaws a note in six years. He falls into the error of assuming that the same rule prevails everywhere, He visits Maryland and loans $1,000 to his friend, Mr. Smith, taking a promissory note. As the note carries interest Mr. Jones is in no hurry for his money and he believes Smith to be financially responsible. Finally at the end of four years Jones concludes he has loaned Smith the money long enough and seeks to collect the note } from him. But Smith can deny liabil- ity and point to the statute of Mary- land which Jones is surprised to learn outlaws a note after three years. Changes Recommended The particular subjects of legisla- tion recommended by the association for enactment by State legislatures duriag 1923 include uniform acts on negotiable instruments, bills of lad- ing, warehouse receipts, stock trans- ter, and fiduciaries, Under the head of laws for better protection of banks in . particular transactions are proposed measures dealing with limiting liability on cer tified check; instruments based on gambling or usurious consideration; time limit on stop payment; payment of stale check; adverse claim to bank deposit; payment of forged or raised check; deposits in two names; de- posits in trust; competency of bank and corporation notaries; non-pay- ment of check through error; Satur- day afternoon bank transactions, and forwarding check direct to payor. Under the Federal Reserve and foreign banking are recommended laws on membership of state institu- tions in Federal Reserve System, and foreign banking. Penal laws pro- posed deal with false statements for credit; slander and libel of bank; checks or drafts without funds, and burglary with GIRDLES FAMOUS IN HISTORY Garment, Still in Favor, Made Vital Distinction of Caste in Olden Times, The history of the girdle, says the Westminster Gazette, is the history of civilization, and though, more than most of the little matters of mode, it bas known very happily bow to com- bine utility and the decorative, yet its third and most interesting phase of all has lain in its symbolism, It has even formed a bond between woman and goddess, and if Helen of Troy would have been, metaphorically speaking, in sore plight If she had had no girdle un- der which to tuck her skirts when she fled with Paris, how many devotees would Venus have lacked if she had bad no magic girdle to inspire love and charmn hearts, so that even great Juno herself, when she wanted very special- ly to please her husband, had to kneel very humbly to borrow it, In Rome a man without a girdle stamped himself thereby as a lazy, good-for-nothing fellow, while it was the girdle which made a vital distine- tion between matron and maid. Roman gipls wore girdles of white wool, curi- ously knotted, as emblem of their girl- hood, and the unknotting of the bride's girdle by the bridegroom was an im- portant part of the marriage ceremony. Bernhardt, who did nothing by halves, wore no fewer than eight girdles when she played the part of Theodora. “I have just maddened my- self thinking how eight girdles could be worn,” wrote Burne-Jones. “It wouldn’t be fair to call a necklace a girdle, or a garter. Eight girdles— however do they come? But I have the greatest confidence in her, I dream of those elght girdles around that twig of the Oriental willow.” CONFUSED BY “DARK STAGE” Actors Frequently Are UGefuddied When Lights Are Shut Off at End of Scenes. In an American quick-fire play there occurred one rapid change of scene which made it tmpossible to fix the scenery in position. Portions of it, therefore, were held up by concealed stage hands. Miss Lord had to rush onto the darkened stage just as her stage husband was committing suicide and utter a plercing shriek, On the night in question she mis- took her bearings In the darkness, and gave her shriek in the wrong spot. It happened to be right in the ear of one of the stage hands holding up a piece of scenery. He promptly responded to her shriek with another, and fell over one way, while his scenery fell over the other. Then the shrieks be came general, Somewhat reminiscent, this, of an- other story In which an actor lost his bearings on a darkened stage. The sudden darkness was used instead of a curtain at the end of a scene, and when the lights went up again for his call he was discovered bowing to the back-cloth ! Oration In Crimson Gulch, “You placed a-pitcher on the table,” whispered Senator Sorghum, “to the chairman of the reception committee, “but I notice you didn’t put any water in it.” “I hurried around to give you a tip about that,” said Judge Cactus Joe (the title having been conferred on him by popular consent for the pur pose of this occasion). I left the wa- ter out 'cause it ‘ud only be in your own way. See that feller over there with eyebrows as big as his mus tache?” “Yes.” “That's Tarantula Tim. He makes a specialty of breakin’ up meetin’s, That pitcher ain’t for you to drink out of. It's for you to throw as straight as you know how the minute you see Tim showin’ a sign of gettin’ restless,” | | Misplaced Assistance. | At onejof the golf clubs a young lady who is very popular with the caddies arranged a match with an elderly woman who fiatters herself that she can play. The young lady, an excel- lent golfer, wished to keep from win- ning, for social reasons, but her op ponent was in her worst form, and it seemed impossible to keep from win. ning. Finally she whispered to her caddy that she wanted to lose. “Ab, miss,” he gaid, “I didn’t know that. Here I’ve been stamping on her ball every time it got in the long { grass.”—Boston Transcript.
