• Vermit me to quote a part of your
article where you say: 'Why men an 1
brethern, if this fool craze to guaran-

we had that splendid Capitol bank
failure some years ago, men who were
so reckless as to deposit there would
now be able to transact business on
their own money, while, as it is, they
have the splendid privilege of borrow-

you have illustrated the pernicious re-
sults that would necessarily follow tho
enforcement of the Oklahoma guaranty
deposit law. According to the state-
ment issued by Commissioner Smock
there are, in round numbers, $20,000,-
000 of deposits in the state banks of
Oklahoma. Assume that tbe full one
per cent required by the law to be as-
sessed on the deposits of these banks
had been collected, there would have
been only $200,000 In the guaranty
Work on the natural gas pipe line
is being pushed rapidly, and is pro-
gressing in a satisfactory manner.
Several miles of the line has already
been laid, and pipe Is now being un l
loaded at Midlothian, a town on the I
Ft. Smith & Western about 7 miles
south of Chandler, in order that It
may be easier of access.
It is not known yet whether a trend-
gang will be started at this end of the
line or not. As long as the work pro-
gresses With sufficient rapidity to in-
sure Its completion within the time
set, November 1, gangs will work from
but one end, but if the work is found
to lag, gangs will be started out from
here . The pipe unloaded here will be
distributed over the line from this
point. Other pipe will be unloaded at
convenient points near the route ot
the pipe line.

Guthrie, Okla., Oct. 9—In reply to
recent article published by the after-
noon paper and Intended to be a de-
fense of and argument for the hank
deposit guaranty law, J. W. McNeal
president ot the National Bank
Commerce, addressed the following
pertinent communication:
Editor Leader: I desire to call at-
tention to some of the propositions
contained in your gentle roast of my

"I assume that if anything can be
done depositors along safe and sane
lines, it would certainly be desirable
to all hankers. But certain proposi-

•We have banks with $100,000 of de
posits and only $10,000 capital. The
one per cent required by the law has
absorbed one-tenth of their capi'* '
The assessment to meet this $800,000
would take four per cent on the de-
posits in state banks, or $1,000 from
the hank having $100,000 on deposit
The state bank with $10,000 capital
would thus have one-half of this capi-
tal wiped out. One more failure like
complaint against the Rock Island
came from Pittsburg county, and the
case which it sought to have trans-
ferred was one brought by Mrs. Ora
Christian, asking $49,000 damages for
the death of her husband.
Complaints had already been filed
against the Frisco and Katy railroads,
but Secretary Myer stated today that
nothing would be done with either tne
Katy or Rock Island until the Frisco
case, now pending in the Federal
court Is decided. Mr. Myer issued an

for that belief has fallen away. The
democrats of Oklahoma know thit

Haskell cannot be elected at the

he will have nothing to give, and will
