Washington, D. C., Jan. 3. — The
United States supreme court today in
an opinion declared the bank guaran-
ty laws of Oklahoma, Nebraska and
Kansas constitutional, and the fight
over the policy of guaranteeing, by the
state, of deposits in banks, was won
by the advocates of the policy.
The opinion of the court was ren-
dered by Justice Holmes, who said
that the chief objection to the laws
was that the assessment of banks by
the state in order to create a guaran-
tee fund for deposits in other banks
within the state took the private prop-
erty of one bank for the private use of
another without adequate compensa-
tion.
The justice said there might be a
taking of private propert without re-
turn to pay debts to a rival in busi-
ness, but that there were powerful
considerations on the other hand. He
said, "In tne first place, it is. estab-
lished by cases that an u.ierior pub-
