BANK WON
ITS FIGHT
Guthrie. Okla. Aug. 6. A. M. Young
tate bank commissioner his steadily
refused to allow national banks char-
ters for establishing state banks as
feeders. " It appears as if the Guthri
National Bank has been able to cir-
cumvent this decision of Mr. Young.
About Jan. 1 they made application
to Mr. Young for a state bank charter
and were promptly refused. Later
they resurrected an old territorial bank
charter and asked for a $25000 re-
newal. Again Mr. Young refused them.
They then took the case to the at-
torney general for an opinion. The
attorney general held that inasmuch as
the bank had always held cash and
other assets under the old charter that
they were entitled to a renewal. Mr.
Young compelled them however to
take out. a $50000 charter instead of
$25000.
