National Banks Cannot
Insure Their Deposits.
In a recent opinion given by the Attor-
ney General of the United States, he says:
"I hold that it is illegal for the officers of
any National Bank to enter into such an
agreement as is contemplated by Section 4 of
the Oklahoma Statutes, and persistent and
willful action to this effect on the part of any
such bank would be JUST CAUSE FOR
THE FORFEITURE OF ITS CHARTER."
The management of this bank has always con-
tended that National Banks could not come under
the Oklahoma Deposit Insurance Law, and has not
seen fit to jeopardize its charter nor risk being thrown
into the hands of a receiver by violating rules gov-
erning National Banks. We have always been able
to pay our depositors, and 'nave nut consented to be
assessed to pay the deposits of all the weak and un-
stable banking institutions in the State.
If it is illegal for a National Bank to be assess-
ed to pay the losses of other banks-then your depos-
its in the so-called Insured National Banks are NOT
INSURED.
The stability of any bank is measured by the
financial strength of its stockholders and the integri-
ty of its managing officers, and on these merits we
invite the patronage of the public.
