Dr. Cramer /-1 I ,( 61, kc FROM: Clark Warburton SUBJECT: Paucity of information regarding deposit guaranty in North Dakota and Texas Miss Thompson has completed a draft of a report on the deposit guaranty system of North Dakota, and is now beginning to work on a report of the system in Texas. When the Texas report is finished, we will have drafts of such reports for all eight of the States establishing deposit guaranty systems during the 1907-1917 period. Of the reports completed (or nearly completed) to date, five are in reasonably good shape except that they need a careful reviev and editing. These are the reports for Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Mississippi, and Washington. The draft report for South Dakota, prepared by Mt. Behrens, needs more re-writing, and also further exploration of possible sources of additional information. The section of the North Dakota report on the financial history of the guaranty fund is seriously deficient. This is because there is no information regarding the operations of the fund in the banking reports of the State Bank Examiner, and none has been found in other State reports (State treasurer, auditor, etc.) available in the Library of Congress. For Texas the problem of information on the financial history of the guaranty fund is equally serious. There are no reports of the banking department, and when we were originally collecting information on the State guaranty funds, we found very little information in other State documents. For both North Dakota and Texas we attempted (when previously working on the material)to obtain the needed data by correspondence. While we obtained some information, it was inadequate. After this lapse of time, it is highly doubtful that we can obtain much more, if any, by the same means. So far as I can see, there are only two procedures that may give us a reasonably adequate amount of information: (1) to ask some university professor to undertake an examination of the materials available at the State banking department or in other State records; or (2) to send a member of our staff to make such an examination. In either case, arrangements should be made in advance with the State banking department or other probable custodian of the records. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis August 12, 1955 MEMORANDUM Dr. Warburton TO: FROM: Helen Thompson SUBJECT: Sources and adequacy of information, North Dakota Guaranty Fund Complete statements pertaining to the bank depositors' guaranty fund in North Dakota are not available in the Reports of the State Examiner to the State Banking Board. S The only information regarding the fund published in the reports of the State Examiner is the amount of assessments credited by participating banks to the depositors' guaranty fund. This is shown annually in the summary statements for all State banks, 1917-1928. Payments by the guaranty fund for banks which failed subsequent to January 1, 1921 are given in the schedules collected by the Federal Reserve Committee on Branch, Group and Chain Banking. The amountsof payments as shown in the Federal Reserve schedule are not complete since final settlement had not been made with a number of the failed banks at the time the schedule was prepared. Some further information regarding payments has been made available through correspondence with various officials in the State Banking Department of North Dakota. • https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis yad Tri PA At- -- J z . 2444 (6/ t( e7 1,1)."4411/VAl A7) ci r-- 16JL , c‘ifq,),1 5 L, L,7, re: 1 10""%-e- • IFAnk 6, / e13# • https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis OIP . _ https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis CHAPTER 28.

The said board is hereby vested with the power and authority to appoint by its own order, receivers for insolvent corporations as defined in this article, and such receivers shall have the same power and authority, and their acts the same validity as if appointed under and by the direction of a district court, but nothing herein contained shall be construed so as to take away from the courts the power to appoint receivers of such institutions at any stage of the proceedings and thus terminate the receivership ordered by the board. (4) The state examiner shall, under the direction and subject to the orders of the state banking board, exercise a constant supervision, either personal or through the deputy examiners hereinafter provided for, over the business and affairs of all the financial corporations placed by this act within the jurisdiction of .the state banking board and shall, personally or through the deputy examiners herein provided for, visit at least twice each year, all of said corporations, inspecting and verifying the assets and liabilities of each, and so far investigate the character and value of the assets of each such corporation as to ascertain with reasonable certainty that the values are correctly carried on its books. lie shall further investigate the methods of operation and conduct of said corporations and their systems of accounting, to ascertain whether such methods are in accordance with the law and sound banking usage and principles, and report the findings, conclusions and recommendations upon such examinations to the banking board and put into force and effect such orders and directions as it may make in reference thereto.

(6) The state examiner may, subject to the approval of the state banking board, appoint and at pleasure remove, not more than ten (10) deputy examiners and one stenographer and such other employes as may in the judgment of the state banking board, be necessary for the proper discharge of the business of his department. Each deputy examiner shall give bond to the state in the sum of ten thousand dollars to be approved and filed m the same manner as the bond of the state examiner. The state exan2;ner shall select and designate one of said deputy examiners to be the office deputy and to act during the absence or disability of the state examiner, and in such cases the deputy examiner so authorized shall have charge of the office and administer its affairs. Six of the said deputy examiners so appointed shall have had at least three years' active experience in bank work within this state and shall furnish such evidence of qualification as expert accountants and general fitness for the duties as may be demanded by the banking board.

(8) Each deputy examiner herein provided for shall be under the direct orders and instructions of the state examiner and shall make report to him in such form as he or the banking board may prescribe during or immediately after the completion of the examination of each financial institution examined by him, with such recommendations and suggestions as he may deem advisable.

PROHIBITION That Section 217, Article 20, of the Constitution of the State of North Dakota, be and the same is hereby repealed. Disapproved June 27, 1928. 103696 to 96837. (Initiated Constitutional Amendment.) GUARANTEE OF BANK DEPOSITS to § 1. By this Constitution the people of North Dakota do ordain and establish: The State of North Dakota has long assumed and exercised control of the business of banking within the state by regulating, restraining, and governing it, and in the year 1917 in pursuance of such general policy the state caused to be enacted a law providing for the establishment of a Depositors' Guaranty Fund, the purpose of which was to guarantee the payment of general deposits in state banks. Such fund has at all times been administered and controlled by the state, acting through its public officers designated by it for such purpose. By the enactment of such law and its administration by the state through its public officers, the people were led to believe, and did commonly understand and believe, that the credit of the state was pledged to secure the payment of all deposits in state banks; and relying upon such belief and understanding large numbers of the citizens of the state entrusted their savings and other money to such banks in the form of general deposits. Since the enactment of said Depositors' Guaranty Fund Act and up to and including the 15th day of May, 1928, more than three hundred (300) state banks have become insolvent and have closed, which insolvent banks have general depositors numbering more than eighty thousand (80,000) people of the state, whose deposits aggregate approximately $25,000,000.00 over and above the ability of such banks to liquidate. It has become apparent that such deposits cannot be paid by the insolvent banks nor by the Depositors' Guaranty Fund, nor by the combined resources of said banks and said fund, and because thereof the depositors aforesaid will lose their earnings and savings and many thereof be reduced t9 poverty and want unless the state shall assume the burden or reimbursing such depositors. By reason of its general policy of regulating and controlling the banking business, and particularly by its enactment of said Depositors' Guaranty Fund Act and its administration thereof through public officers, the state is morally obligated to such de14 https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis 404 CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS 1efr positors, and its failure to fulfill its moral duty to pay such claims will adversely affect its credit and will engender in the minds of its citizens distrust and lack of confidence in the Government. We therefore declare it essential to the general vvelfare of the state and the prosperity and tranquillity of the inhabitants thereof that the State of North Dakota should discharge its moral obligation and pay the claims of such depositors, and that eI.yme thereof is in the furtherance of a public purpose to which money raised by general taxation may be properly devoted. § 2. The State of North Dakota shall pay, without interest, any balance that may remain due on all claims based on general deposits in state banking associations which have become insolvent and closed between January 1, 1919, and May 15, 1928, after crediting thereon payments that have been made or may hereafter be made by dividends in the course of liquidation of such insolvent associations. § 3. Immediately upon the taking effect hereof the Governor and State Treasurer shall prepare and issue under their hands, attested by the Secretary of State and the great seal of the State, bonds of the State of North Dakota in an amount not to exceed $25,000,000, in denominations of from $100.00 to $5,000.00, bearing interest at a rate not exceeding five per cent (5%) per annum. Such bonds shall be issued in series payable 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 years after the date of issue, the amount of each series to be determined P y the Governor and the State Treasurer. Such bonds shall be sold from time to time as in the judgment of the Liquidating Board, hereinafter provided for, the proceeds shall be needed for the purposes herein speed, but they shall not be sold for less than par. § 4. From and after the taking effect hereof the Depositors' Guaranty Fund is abolished, and the Depositors' Guaranty Fund Commission shall account to the Liquidating Board herein provided for for all funds and assets in its possession for the benefit of the state, and no law shall be enacted providing for the guarantee of bank deposits. § 5. The Governor, State Treasurer, and Secretary of State are hereby constituted a board to be known as the Liquidating Board, which is charged with the administration of all matters connected with the allowance and payment of claims of depositors herein provided for. In the event any question arises whether a claim is based upon a deposit or as to the amount of such claim,'it shall be the duty of the Liquidating Board to pass upon such question, and if it shall decide adversely to the claimant he shall have a right within sixty (60) days after written notice of such decision to https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis • a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS 405 bring an action against the Liquidating Board in the District Court of Burleigh County to establish the deposit or the amount due thereon, which action shall be triable to the court. The Liquidating Board may employ and fix the salary of an Executive Secretary, and delegate to him such part of its duties as it shall see fit, his acts, however, to be always subject to the approval of such board. The Executive Secretary shall take the constitutional oath of office and devote his entire time to the duties of his office. Such board may also employ and fix the salaries and duties of other assistants and clerks as it shall deem necessary to the prompt discharge of its duties hereunder. § 6. Upon the payment of any deposit the state shall be subrogated to all rights of the depositor against the Receiver of the bank of deposit, which right shall be enforced by the Liquidating Board; and the proceeds thereof, together with any assets received from the Depositors' Guaranty Fund Commission, shall be used in furtherance of the purposes of this amendment, in such manner as shall be provided by the legislature. • § 7. It is the purpose and intent hereof that money due depositors in excess of the amount that will be paid in course of liquidation of closed banks should be paid by the state speedily and to that end the Liquidating Board is empowered to make rules and regulations for determining the validity of depositors' claims and the amounts thereof in advance of the final liquidation of such banks; and it may pay in advance of such liquidations such part of any deposits as it may determine to be just and expedient. § 8. This article shall be construed as a separate, distinct, and additional article to the Constitution as it now exists, and it shall not affect the right of the state to incur indebtedness for other purposes as now provided by the Constitution, and when any bonds issued hereunder have been paid they shall not be reissued or other indebtedness incurred in their place. § 9. In the month of August, 1929, and each of the four succeeding years, the State Board of Equalization shall levy and certify to the various county officers a tax of one mill on the dollar of the assessed value of all taxable property in the State of North Dakota, which tax as collected shall be set aside as a fund for the payment of interest and principal of the bonds herein provided for. At the regular session of 1933 the legislature shall by law provide for the levy of a tax upon all taxable property in the state, sufficient to meet the interest upon and pay the bonds issued hereunder when due, which tax shall be in addition to all other taxes authorized by the Constitution. In case of the failure of the legislature to make such https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS 404 • provisions at such session, the Board of Equalization shall continue to levy the said tax of one mill annually until such legislation has been provided. § 10. The provisions of this amendment are hereby declared to be self-executing, and shall be immediately carried out, but the legislature shall pass laws to facilitate its operation and shall appropriate the necessary funds to meet the expenses thereof. Until such appropriation shall have been made the Liquidating Board may meet its expenses out of any funds accounted for by the Depositors' Guaranty Fund Commission. • § 11. Speculation in depositors' claims shall be unlawful and any purchase of such claims for speculative purposes shall be void. § 12. In the event any Court should declare any provision or part of this Constitutional Amendment invalid for any reason, or should declare the same invalid as applied to any class of deposits, such adjudication shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions or parts of this amendment or its applicability to other classes of deposits.

Where money is advanced to a bank under an arrangement whereby it is to purchase liberty bonds under par and issue to the one advancing the money a certificate of deposit in an amount equal to the par value of the bonds, and where a time certificate is subsequently issued in an amount representing a rate of return on the money advanced in excess of that permitted by paragraph 8, ch. 126, Session Laws for 1917 r (tne Depositors' Guaranty Law), the holder of the certificate of deposit, does not have a valid claim against the depositors' guaranty fund. ri V. N. D. REPORTS. 6,0 Le;-.7) A/ Yv Parts - Summary -p.604. Vol. 51. Banks and Banking - legislature in absence of statutory procedure of depositors to liquidate and certify claims to commission authorized to nodify plan of original act as to order of payment. 3. Altho depositors, as plaintiffs contend, may, under the law of 1917, in some circumstances, have been entitled to payment in full out of the Guaranty, Fund in the order in whicL banks closed, yet, since aminor, the plaintiff, and others similarly situated with the State him, had not taken the required steps to deterine, liquidate, and certify claims to the Guaranty Fund Commission, prior to the taking effect of the law of 1923, altho the Security State Dank and the Havelock Bank closed in November 1920, it was competent for the legislature of 1923 to modify the plan of the original act so as to authorize the Guaranty Fund Commission, in its discretion, to pro rata payments upon claims of depositors in the numerous banks that had closed when the legislature convened, rather than to require payment in full to a few depositors, leaving the large majority to wait indefinitely. Question as to use of guaranty fund to aid banks not decided. • 7. Whether the Guaranty Fund Commission may use the Fund temporarily to aid going banks or to salvage the assets of closed banks, for the benefit of the Fund, is not involved or decided. Banks and banking -- constitutional law -- discretion of commission under guaranty fund law in passing on depositor's claims cannot be controlled or directed by the courts. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org [ Reserve Bank of St. Louis Federal - - https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis • 8. The Commission, under the law of 1923, is required to deterine whether claims presented are valid and legal claims against the Guaranty Fund; under that law the Commission must exercise legal discretion and judgment in passing upon such claims; such discretion cannot be controlled or directed by the courts. o. 612. The basic theory of the plaintiff is that depositors in banks that closed Prior to July 1, 1925, when the new or amended act went into effect, are, as a matter of law, entitled to payment fron. the Guarant:, Fund in the order of time in which the banks closed. Manifestly, if the lew does not thus prescribe the order of payment, and if the Commission have zoN.e discretion in that regard, and there has been neither fraud nor abuse in the exercise thereof, payment cannot be compelled by the courts contrary to the statute, or the decision of the Commission in the lawful exercise of its discretion. P. 614. It is strongly urged that under the law of 1917 it was the Handatory duty of the Guaranty Fund Commission to pay all claims against the Fund immediately and in the order in which banks became insolvent and Assuming that the law of 1917 contemplated that payment be made closed. irniaediatelr and in the order in which the banks closed, was it competent . for the legislature to amend this act, as it did in 1925, so as to measure plaintiff's rights as to time and order of payment and procedure in acting on his claim by the new act, whicl unquestionably gives the Commission wide discretion in these respects? n. 616. • It is evident that extensive bank failures were not anticioated by the legislature of 1917, which enacted the original Guaranty Fund Law, Section 15 of that act provided that when a bank within the act suspended or became insolvent, the State Examiner must determine "the pro rata amount due from each bank necessary to pay the unsecured depositors in full and cause the same to be certified to the Depositors Guaranty Fund;" this section then required the State Examiner at the same time to "certify to said Depositors Guaranty Fund Commission the amounts due to the several depositors of such insolvent bank and also, at the same time, certify any amounts that may be owing by said depositors to said bank." The treasurer of the commission "shall thereupon draw against the Depositors Guaranty Fund on deposit in the several banks in the amount thus certified, and shalli immediately transmit to such depositors the amounts due them, less any am— , If the fund on i aunts that may be owing by said depositors to such bank." https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis • • ha_id be inadequate to pay the claims, certificates of indebtedness were to be issued, negotiable in form, in favor of the bank and such certificates were to be paid out of the first money accruing to the Fund. Sec. 16 provided that the commission, for the use and benefit of the fund, should be subrogated to the rights of depositors paid and might narticipate in the assets of the insolvent bank; this right the State Examiner was required to enforce. The legislature of 1923, when chapter 200 of the laws of that session was enacted, had before it a serious condition, caused by the closing of a large number of banks, the first of which rent down in 1920, with large claims, actual and potential, against the Guaranty Fund. The situation, contrary to that which was before the legislature in 1917, clearly disclosed that it would be possible to pay immediately, or within a reasonable tiffle, fron. assessments levied against functioning banks, only a comparatively small number of the depositors in the banks then closed, without imposing burdens on open banks that would lead to general insolvency and collapse of the state banking system. Whether the power exist to impose such a burden, we need not decide. It was also evident frow the extent of the liabilities of closed banks to depositors and consequent potential and probable liability of the Guaranty Fund to such depositors, that if the depositors were paid in full by levying assessment to the maximum legally permissible, as well as practically possible, under the law, in the order in which closed, the result would be that depositors in banks which closed last, or even a few months after those which first suspended, could not be paid any portion of their claims for a long period. Consequently, and doubtless in the interest of justice, as it seemed to the legislature, the provision for payment to depositors under the law of 1917, as made in paragraph 15, thereof, was fundamentally changed. It is provided in paragraph 21, ch. 200, Session Laws 1925, that if the Guaranty Fund be insufficient to pay the claims of depositors duly allowed, the Commission may pro rate payments upon certificates of indebtedness from the fund on hand. That is, the legislature decided that instead of exhausting the Fund in payinF depositors in banks that first closed and leaving others to wt for an indefinite period, it would be more just and equitable to provide that as 9any claimants as possible should receive a dividend upon their claims within a reasonable tine. In further contrast with the provisions of paragraphs 15 and 16, Act. of 1917, supra, paragraph 22 of the law of 1923 provides that to the extent of deposits allowed as guaranteed the Guaranty Fund Commission is subrogated to the rights of such depositors to participate in the assets of "such closed bank," and that such right shall be enforced by the Secretary of the Commission; that from time to time, as the assets are liquidated and cash realized thereon, the same shall be pro rated as a payment upon the certificates issued "to the gparanteed depositors of the closed bank from which such ppympnt had been received until full payment is made to the holder of such certificate." The surplus remaining after payment to holders of certificates as aforesaid is turned into the Fund and becomes available for payment as a general dividend upon all outstanding certificates of indebtedness. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org MP Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis • 4Some of the changes made by the act of 1923, not already indicated, so far as pertinent to any matter involved in this appeal, are as follows: The commission acts on all depositors' claims against the fund; under the old law, the State Examiner acted thereon; provision is made for a hearing on all claims disallowed; no such provision was made in the original act; it is expressly provided that the decision of the commission shall be final; the commission may pro rate payments from the fund and may use the fund in giving temporary aid to open banks and in salvaging assets of closed banks, when so doing seems likely to benefit the fund and depositors in closed banks; the original act was silent or contained no express provisions on these points; whether the power could have been implied need not be decided. The State Examiner is no longer a member of the commission. Other changes are referred to in the course of the opinion. It will be perceived that the legislature of 1923 undertook to change substantially, not only the time end manner of paying: the claims of depositors in closed banks, but the relation of depositors to the Guaranty Fund and of the Guaranty Fund to the individual banks. It, therefore, becomes necessary to determine to what extent, if any, depositors in banks that had closed before the law of 1923 went into effect, but whose claims had not been submitted to or acted on by the State Examiner and by him certified to the commission, had acquired vested rights or vested interests in the fund which at that time had been accumulated by the Commission pursuant to the law of 1917. Specifically, in the case at bar, had the right of the plaintiff to participate in the Guaranty Fund become a vested right or a vested interest which the legislature of 1923 could not disturb or substantially change? If his right or interest had become vested, it is contended that the legislature of 1923 possessed no power either to take it from him, or to postpone materially his enjoyment of it , by giving the commission discretion as to the time and order of payment where, it is assumed, none existed before. bottom o. 619. • We think plaintiff's claim was, at most, an imperfect, inchoate degree of property and not a vested right or interest. A cause of action in his favor' and against the commission had not come into existence when the new law rent into effect for the reason that the Bank Examiner had certified nothing pertaining thereto to the commission, as required by the old law. If the I\ plaintiff acquired a vested right in that portion of the Guaranty Fund which depositor a was he because bank'merely the had been collected at the time therein, then all depositors in banks that closed before the law of 1923 went into effect acquired a similar vested right to payment in full from that part of thefund which had been accumulated through assessments made prior to July 1, 1923, in the order in which the banks closed. If that were the correctl construction of the statute, it would operate to deprive the overwhelming majority of the depositors in closed banks of any payment whatever on teir claims from the existing, althgether inadequate Guaranty Fund. Payment as to them would necessarily be postponed to such remote period as would be reLuired to replenish the fund. The result would be that a plan obviously devised to protect all depositors equally would, through judicial construction, be made to give full protection to some and practically no protection to others. The difficulties, complications and injustice that v.ould arise from such a construction of the law would render its administration cumbersoe and costly, would to a great e:tent defeat the legislative purpose common to the act of 1917 and to that of 1923. Tiese considerations doubtless influenced the legislature to enact https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis 5 chapter 200, Session La-,s 1923. Whether approval of a claim as guaranteed by the State Examiner would have created a vested right which the legislature could not have disturbed by subsequent legislation, is not decided. But see Louisiana ex re. Folsom v. New Orleans, 109 U. S. 285, 27 L. ed. 936, 3 Sup. Ct. Rep. 211. • In determining the question whether any vested right of the plaintiff, or of others similarly situated, was violated by the law of 1923, regard must be had for the purpose the legislature had in view. It is a familiar rule that there is no vested right in wrong; with particular reference to the situation before us, it may likewise be said that there is no vested right in inequity. Considering, for the moment, that aspect of the legislative purpose which bore directly upon the interest of depositors in banks, as apart from the general public interest, that purpose could be fully accomplished under the law of 1917, operating under normal conditions as then known, understood and anticipated by the legislature. Abnormal and unforeseen calamities overtook the banking business during the period intervening the enactment of the law of 1917 and that of 1923, apparently commencing in 1920, with the result that the legislative purpose, the same in each instance, both with respect to the public interest and the specific interest of individual depositors, could have been but very inadequately accomplished in the manner prescribed by the act of 1917, but could be, to a greater, and, in the judgment of the legislature, a more equitable extent, attained by the beneficent purpose of the law, from the general standpoint of the public interest, as well as from the viewpoint of individual depositors, would be better served by providing an equitable, pro rata distribution of the Guaranty Fund among a large nunber of depositors than by paying all the depositors in one, two or three banks, while leaving the depositors in eighty or a hundred banks to wait indefinitely for payment from the guaranty fund. We think that the general statement of the rule in 2 Story, Const. r 5th ed. 674, applies to the situation presented in the record. "A party has no vested right in a rule of law which would give him an inequitable advantage over another; and such rule may, therefore, be repealed and the advantage thereby taken away." (Italics are ours.) The assessment, creation, and administration of the ' fund, from whatever standpoint considered, are made pursuant to a legislative policy, which may be changed at will; the payment of the assessment is compulsory, (failure to pay it is followed by results substantially identical iith those that ; follow when special assessments against property are not paid, the property--here the right to do a banking business--may be taken) does not rest uJon contract in any respect, and the legislative wisdom which dictated the adoption of that policy may likewise alter or abondon it. We are, therefore, of the opinion that t'ae depositors in closed banks, who had taken no steps to have their claims determined, liquidated, and allowed in the manner provided by the act of 1917, or concerning which facts had not been certified to the Coaaission, as provided in that law prior to July 1, 1923, had no such vested right or interest in the continuance of the plan of payment from the Guaranty Fund provided in that act as to render it incompetent for the legislature to change this plan in 1923 so as 4-,o provide for the paying of dividends upon a large number of claims, according to the sound discretion of the commission, rather than to pay the depositors in one or two banks in fall, while leaving all others to wait indefinitely. • The majority opinion draws a shadowy line between an imperfect, inchoate degree of property and a vested right. I am satisfied that the complaint is sufficient under liberal rules of construction to show an accrued right, indeed, a vested right, if highly technical distinctions are to be drawn. If plaintiff's claim must be termed an imperfect, inchoate degree of property, the degree results not from plaintiff's acts but from the failure of state officials to follow the law. Under fair rules of construction applied to the allegations of the ccuplaint, https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis -6such as should be applied in cases of a demurrer thereto, considered in connection with the law applicable to such allegations, plaintiff's claim may have received every act of approval requisite for its payment out of the old Guaranty Fund. In my opinion the state chargeable as a trustee of the old Guaranty Fund to whatever extent plaintiff may establish his right under the allegations of his complaint. In this proceeding I am not concerned, so far as plaintiff's right, , ! is concerned, with the powers and duties, or even concerning the suability, of the Guaranty Fund Commission under the new law. The point is that depositors in closed and insolvent banks, whose right under the old Guaranty law had accrued before the enactment of a new Guaranty law, possess the right to charge the state as trustee of the fund established and constituted so for their benefit; and to maintain an action against officers of the state charged with its administration to riforce their rights. I deny that the state, or any of its officers, with respect to plaintiff's accrued right, may take this trust fund from John Jones or Henry Smith and hold it for some different Jones or Smith who may, some time in years to come t perhaps, be a depositor in another insolvent bank; or likewise, that this trust fund, under the old Guaranty Fund law, so far as it must be devoted to the right of Smith or Jones, can be taken by a state officer and used for the purpose of rehabilitating or financing various or any going banks in this state.

TO THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE SUPhEidE COURT OF NORTH DAKOTA, THROWGH THE HONORABLE JNO. C. LOWE, JUDGE OF THE FITH JUDICIAL DISTRICT IL'SIGNATED AS PRESIDING JUDGE IN THE FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT IN 4ATTERS INVOLVING THE LIQUIDATION OF INSOLVENT STATE BANES OF NORTH DAKOTA UNDER SECTION 51, CHAPTER 96 SESSICN LAWS OF 1931 (ADMINISTRATIGN OF INSOLVENT BA1...5) Pertinent parts of the introduction are quoted below, with notes on the remainder. "Th:.re is submitted herewith a compilation and report covertly certain features ofthe liquidation of insolvent state banks. Annual reports on the con4ion of each individual trust including collections, expensez, dividends paid and other matters, which have been submitted to the District Court are all on file. This compilation is an effort to give in short form, the statuB of the trusts administered under one general head. It is in no way concerned with an attempt to furnish information relative to some thirty or forty other banks in process of liquidation. Each trust is actually administered separately, being charged for its expense only and credited with its own collections. The trusts are in no way confus d or mixed one with another. The so-called general receivership was inaugurated on October 6, 1923, and pursuant to Chapter 137 of the Session Laws of 1923. This law expired on July 1, 1926, by virtue of a provision incorporated in the or_ginal law. The law was virtually reenacted with some additional provisions as Chapter 99 of the sessin laws of 1927. When the so-called Banking Code (Chapter 96 of the Session Laws of 1931) was enacted this law became Section 51, Chapter q6 of the Session Laws of 1931. The additional provisions above referred to are now subdivisien'Uf Section 51, Chapter 96 of the Session Laws of 1931. By these provisions depositors have the power of selecting three individuals (no qtalifications being res_:uired) who are ap;ointed as receivers by the Court. These three receivers then li suidate the bank in the usual manner und,-r supervision of the Court. This procedure may be invoked by the depositors at any time during the ordinary receivership proceedings or may be used immediately upon the closing of the bank and while it is still in the hands of the State Examin r. The following is a list of banks which have been withdrawn from the so-called general receivership and committed to the charge of three indiviaual receivers commonly termed joint receivers. Records relative to other individual receiverships can be obtained from the State Examiner." • Then follows a list of twenty banks, of which the following six closed during the period of operation of the cruaranty fund. Data given for these banks pertinent to the FDIC study are @hown on the worksheet with other data from Mr. Baird's report. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Notes on summar;, report by L.

The assets of this bank were sold to the First State Bank of Alamo for an amount sufficient to pay the depositors their account) in full b acceptance of deposits in the First State Bank of Alamo. This was done udder a depositors' agreement. Scandinavia/. Am rican Bank of Grafton (June 1, 1929).- Upon petition of the depositors the Receiver made a Receivership Termination Loan under the provisions of the Reconstrucion Finance Corporation Act, paid the final dividend, making total dividends of forty percent. Approximately thirty percent was collected by the Receiver before the Receivership Termination Loan was completed. It is believed that this type of liquidation is unsatisfactory unless more liberal appraisals are made. Despite representations made, the requirements are tco severe, too umberso7e ar.d too voluminous. It is estimated that the loan resulted in a net loss to the depositors of approximately fiteen or twenty per cent. Peoples State Bank of Hatton (Oct. 22, 1921). Upon petition of all tie creditors, the assets were turned over to three individuals as trustees for the benefit of the creditors. Farmers and Merchants Bank of McHenry,(Dec. 24, 1928). Upon petition of creditors the assets of this bank were turned over to the McHenry Holdin,Company. Springbvook State Bank, and Trenton State Bank (both Nov. 26, 1923). The assets of these two banks were sold to the Commercial State Bank of Williston for en,ugh to pay the depositors in full. Farmers State Bank of Verendyre (Oct. 20, 1926). Upon petition of the creditors of this bank the assets were turned over to the Verendyre Holding Company. • "There have been approximately five hundred banks involved Q'proceedings under the special law passed for the liquidation of closed sLate banks. Some fifteen of these were only technically involved and henee are not included in the detail of this report. The re)ort cov,rs 486 banks. 148 of these rere under individuel receivers of various characters, prior to the time of being taken over by the preset receiver. Ihe deplorable and hopeless sittuatien in which most of them were is fully set out in a report printed in the Senate Journal of 1923 (page 110). The compilation attached hereto shows that the total am unt of ass.ts involved in the 486 banks amounted to 73,231,970.51; the liabilities amounted to $64,879,382.25; these amounts havebeen reduced by orderly liquidation in a substantial amount, the present fame value of the remaining assets being $14,065,946.85 while the face value of the remaining liabilities amounts to 'e25,420,695.61.

"The fact must not be overltoked that the ba ks involved herein were been closed only after their reserve was exhausted and every liquid asset h*a had offic_rs add ers used. In addition to that, in most cases, the stockhold 400% as much as cases been called upon and did contribute large sums, :n some of their capital investmeht. The result was that when the banks finally closed nothing readily convertible into money remained and the only eay in which it was possible to realize a part of the losses incurred was to start in and rebuild the questionable assets remaining. If rlthless tactics, sometimes used, had been followed, none of the collateral would have been recovered and ,he resulting liquidation would hardly have paid expenses. On the other hand the results would have been even more disasterous had the old methods continued. jeost of such cases taken over the recordswere in hopeless confusion and large amounts of unpaidlki-juidation expeiles had to be assumed and paid. Liquidation of assets of this character requires constant and vigcrous attention by men skilled as collectors, Nerely balaning accounts and renewing paper does not liquidate. These banks had Bills Payable of between twelve and fifteen million dollars for which tg most cases ample collatral was pledged, often to the extent of ten to one. This item has been eliminated. In some cases the Bolder took a small loss but in most cases they were aaid in full. However, in order to be conservative it is estimated that bills payable in the sum of :1.0,000,000.00 have been of ,5,767,209.97 have been paid _ aid.

If Directors generally could be made to fully understand and realize their responsibilities and liabilities as such officers and act accordingly, there would be fewer defalcations, there would be fewer bad loans, there would be fewer closed banks and the whole banking fraternity would grow stronger in public confidence and public trust. A Director is not merely a figurehead, or rather should not be, although he oftentimes is . . . He is placed on the governing board of his institution for a definite purpose and he has certain well defined and definite duties to perform. Those duties include the careful and thorough examination of the assets of the bank at least twice each year at which examination a thorough check-up should be made of the cash, checks, stocks, certificates of deposit, cashier's checks and most important of all, the loans and discounts. . . It is not of course possible to guard completely against loss by bad loans but proper authorization and and supervision by Directors will go a long way toward reducing . . . The law calls for at least two meetings a year them. in which thorough examination should be had and if such examinations were in fact made, I am satisfied that there would be fewer bank failures in the State of North Dakota. . . . The whole difficulty seems to lie in the indifference with which men holding the position of directors seem to look upon their positions and the child-like trust and confidence they seem to have in their acting managers. They assume the attitude that there is no use to bother about the paper of the bank or any of the transactions carred on within it. . . • It is not only dishonesty that must be guarded against but also inefficiency and poor business judgment and it is for the Director to know what the man in actual charge of the bank is doing. His responsibility is not only to the stockholders who have elected him to safe-guard their interests but he is also under a moral obligation to the depositors. 1/ Except for the tw - instances cited above reports of the s State Bank Examiner and State Banking Board give no other statement ry of evidence regarding the general status of the State's superviso practices, procedures, and recommendations. 1/ Resort of State Examiner to the State Banking Board, Tune 30, 1922, pp. 7-8.

DEPOSITS IN CLOSED BANKS AND BANK GUARANTY LAW Deposits in 46 closed banks of the state total $7,437,036.90, George H. Hollister, Fargo, told members of the bankers' association. He reportV; el i phairman of a special committee appointed last year to look into the situation eae4a—by closure of a large number of banks in the state. Of this amount 32,984,712.28 is unguaranteed, S803,386.71 is questioned and $3,648,937.91 is guaranteed, he added. The state guarantee fund is $426,000. The figures are the result of an audit made by H.P. Goddard of the committee, and others. The unguaranteed and questioned deposits include -any item that was not a good faith deposit as ordinarily understood," the report adds. After working on the matter nearly a year, the report says: "We believe that the real underlying reason why such conditions should develop is inadequate laws and lax supervision on the part of the state banking department. True, there were many contributing causes-questionable practices, dishonesty, inexperience, zeal to make money, too many banks in many places, banks owned by those who only looked to dividends, and political banks, but were there strict and intelligent supervision, backed up by proper* laws, the dishonest, inexperienced, greeay or partisan ownership would not find the field available nor profitable." Mr. Hollister says the committee will oppose the proposition that approximately $800,000 of redeposits by the Bank of North Dakota in the closed banks, are recovered by the state guaranty law. Mr. Hollister's report showed that all told 65 banks had been closed, and that 19 of them had been reopened. "The first problem facing your committee was the invention of a comprehensive system of audit and report," says Mr. Hollister in his report, "and a close second the matter of expense of the audit. The system was developed by the committee at the members' own expense. This system was to go to the closed bank, tabulate each deposit, by name, address, amount and terms; then each deposit was carefully investigated and the condition surrounding each one unearthed. The law specifically excepts 'bills payable' as not guaranteed, and also, ' deposits otherwise secured' are not guaranteed. The law fixes the maximum rate of interest that may be paid, and court decisions of other states lay down the rule that deposits upon which an excess rate is paid, or were created by an exchange of credits, are not guaranteed. All of which led us to the basis of rejecting the following classes of liabilities that are commonly carried as 'deposits' in the ordinary bank: "Certificates of deposit for money borrowed. "Certificates of deposit upon which an excess rate was paid or promised. "Certificates of deposit given in exchange for paper taken. "Certificates of deposit guaranteed by officers or directors personally. "Cashier's checks. "Open accounts or certificates which were not expected to be drawn except by some special arrangement. "Any item that was not a good faith deposit as ordinarily understood* "The matter of expense of auditing 50 banks was a more serious problem; but after much thought, negotiation and argument, your committee prevailed upon the guaranty fund commission, supported by proper opinion of the attorney general, to allow this expense to be a charge upon the guaranty fund; this upon the broad ground that the expense of administering any fund where the law is called into operation for that purpose, is properly chargeable to such fund. The secretary of the committee, Mr. Goddard, has audited nearly xi all of these banks, having been continuously at work for the past six months; others having helped out lately in order to have the work complete for this convention. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis I, 1 / 1,1"4-1 ' 'Li tr.( 4_, L • —• GA: / c r2- e A.,/ c•)- , Z140 7,L1,14 /I/ 'kr, e # 1 o/o, r oy6. e429°4>-• • • \\\ Commercial West, Vol. 46, July - Dec. 1924, October 25, p. 36. "Depositors in North Dakota's Closed Banks to be Paid in Part" Bismarck, N. D. -- The state guaranty fund commission, in charge of the administration of the fund derived from assessments on state banks to reimburse depositors in closed banks, has announced its intention to make the first payment under the guarantee law to depositors of banks closing before July 1, 1923. A 10 per cent, dividend will be paid depositors of this class of banks, with this exception: All deposits of $10 or less will be paid in full. Also the commission will not issue a puomatg guaranty fund certificate for less than $2, which would result in a deposit of $12 or less being paid in full. The plan is to make a flat payment of $10 on all deposits of $100 or less, a dividend of 10 per cent, on all deposit of more than $100. The commission will expend about $'600,000 of its fund of about $1,000,000 in making this fist dividend payment to depositors. It is contemplated under the plan that depositors of banks closing after July 1, 1923, will in the subsequent payments will receive sufficient amounts from the guaranty fund so that, as far as practicable, all depositors of closed banks will be paid pro-rata. The announced method of making th.- first distribution of the fund was worked out by the guaranty fund commission, composed of Governor Nestos, ex-officio chairman; C. R. Green, manager of the Bank of North Dakota, exofficio member; S. G. Severtson of Bismarck, appointive member; C. B. McMillan of Hannah, appointive member, and Gilbert Semingson, state examiner, ex-officio secretary. Much of the detailed work has been done by Mr. 3evertson and Mr. McMillan, as appointive members. There are about 21,000 depositors of 58 banks closing prior to July 1, • 1923, who will share in the dividend, of which about 8,000 had deposits of $12 or less, according to statistics compiled by the commission. By paying off the small depositors in full, many thousands of dollars in administrative expense will be saved the commission, it is said. The total amount of deposits in these banks guaranteed is estimated to be about $5,000,000. The commission, in deciding to pay a dividend to depositors of banks closing before July 1, 1923, announced that the fund was inadequate to make a substantial pro-rata payment at this time to depositors of every bank closed up to this time, and a large proportion of the banks closing after that time had not been audited or claim made so that payment could be made promptly. There also is the likelihood that a number of the banks closing since July 1, 1923, will be reopened, and the dividend could not well go back of the point where a closed bank may reopen. It also is declared that to audit all banks, classify all deposits, hold hearings on disputed claims, and to do other things necessary before deposits can be paid, would require so great a clerical force as to be a burden on the fund and an injury to depositors, and would delay the dividend payment, if made absolutely pro-rata at this time. "Effect of Reopening Banks in North Dakota" • Bismarck, N. D. -- The policies of the guaranty fund commission and the state banking department during the last year and half, the most crucial period in the history of the banking business in North Dakota, has reduced the liabilities of the depositors guaranty fund commission by $4,228,104.84, https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Commercial West, Vol. 1 46, July - Dec. 1924, October 25, p. 36. - continued through the reopening of banks, officials believe. It is pointed out that each time a bank closes, the aeposits become a liability of the depositors guaranty fund commission, and since that commission has not, and will not for years, have sufficient funds to pay all depositors, the reopening of one of these closed banks increases the dividend it is possible to pay to the depositors of banks that cannot be reopened. The depositors guaranty fund commission and state banking department, with faith in the future of the state and acting under the bank administration act of July 1, 1923, endeavored to keep many banks open and to reopen many closed banks. Thirty-one of the closed banks iq the state, having deposits totaling $4,228,104.84 have reopened for office. Several more banks are scheduled to reopen within the next month, so that it is expected soon banks having total deposits of more than $5,000,000 will have reopened. Nith the liability of the gauranty (sic) fund commission to depositors ofclosed banks reduced this much, it will be able to pay larger dividends as assessments on open banks are received. The bank administration act of July 1, 1923, enabled the commission to reopen banks. But it applied enough, officials say, to accomplish reopening of many banks and the keeping open of many. • • https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis From Commercial West, Vol. • 48, July-Dec. 1925, August 1, p. 36. Bismarck, N.D. -- The Bank of North Dakota is not entitled to recover from the depositors guaranty fund commission *12,632.83 which it had redeposited in the First State Bank of Crystal Springs, it is held by Judge C. J. Fisk, referee of the commission, in findings of fact and conclusions of law submitted to the commission in the case. The decision contrclling in many similar cases, involves claims of the Bank of North Dakota approximating *1,000,000 against the commission. Failure of the Bank of North Dakota to secure participation in dividencs of the guaranty fund commissiol.. would increase money available for other depositors. The bank plans to appeal from thL refereels decision. An exhaustive review of the case is made by Referee Fisk, because of its importance in deciding other cases in which the depositors guaranty fund commission has refused to accept liability on deposits. The referee holds, in this case, that there was no actual deposit of cash, or its equivalent, as required by the guaranty fund law; the transaction was not a deposit at all, but a mere loan by a correspondent bank and the transaction was otherwise secured. The money in the Crystal S4ngs bank as a "redeposit" was placed there by private treasurers and the deposit taken over by the Bank of North Dakota, and later other deposits were made, called redeposits by F. W. Cathro, then director general of the bank. • • https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis 24 OMMERCIAL WEST Saturday, March 28, 1925 'Ian of North Dakota Depositors Guarantee Fund Commission How Liabilities Were Reduced, Receiverships Avoided and Closed Banks Were Reopened Bismarck, N. D.—Liability of the depositors guaranty fund commission to depositors of closed banks has been reduced $6,090,926 by the commission by the reopening of special deposit and closed banks and sale of assets and claims, extending over a period of two years, investigation of records of the commission reveals. The task undertaken by the body, under laws enacted in 1923, with especial reference to supervision of banks placed on special deposit and reopening of banks, is now nearly ended, and the 'task soon will be left entirely with the receiver to wind up the affairs of the banks and the guaranty fund commission will accept the liability to depositors. During the time the commission was endeavoring to carry out the spirit of the law and meet an unusual condition in banking circles, an entirely new procedure in banking history was invoked, and a new plan evolved which has since been put into effect in other sections where similar conditions were met. Special Deposit Plan Valuable One of the unique features of the law, which was placed on the statute books during the 1923 legislature, when Independents controlled both houses, provided that where a bank was temporarily embarrassed, and probably could make recovery, it might be placed on "special deposit"— permitted to remain open, handle existing business and receive new deposits which, however, should be placed in a special trust fund and exempted from the receiver's ass should the bank again be forced to close. The method invoked to make possible reorganization and strengthg of banks in financial straits, with a view of avoidlug receivership' which, experience had shown, usually proved costly to depositors in the dissipation of assets. Officials of the depositors' guaranty fund commission were somewhat surprised to learn, a few months ago, that the same principle had been applied in Norway during a serious financial strain. Apparently both plans were worked out independently, at about the same time, and to meet substantially the same conditions. Depositor Agreement Helps The socalled "Center plan" worked out by the guaranty fund commission and its depositors' agreement plan, under which depositors agree to leave funds in a bank for a stated time, if it is reorganized and reopened, have been used within the last year in South Dakota and Montana, and affairs of some national banks have been brought under the latter plan, with the approval of the comptroller general. Banking officials here point with some pride to this development, as an evidence that their pioneer work in an uncharted field has spread beyond the borders of the state, and been approved as sound elsewhere. The socalled "Center plan" was worked out by the guaranty fund commission, and gets its name from the fact that it was first adopted for the purpose of reorganizing and salvaging the assets of the closed Bank of Oliver County of Center. The plan is one whereby either depositors or others interested in having an open bank in the town where a bank has closed, organize a new bank , r arrange to have an open bank move in from some other iwn. The new bank bids for the good and bankable assets of the closed bank at 100 cents on the dollar and is allowed a year in which to exchange any of the notes taken over under its bid with the receiver for any notes which remain in his hands. Under the plan the new banks have really a year in which to make a selection of the bankable assets and no depositor or creditor is injured, it Is claimed by members of the commission. Notes are not https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis t sold at a discount, but at a full 100 per cent. All issets not included in the bid remain in the hands of the receiver. Depositors sign agreements to accept certificates of deposit of the new bank, to the extent of the proportion due each, as the amount of bankable assets compares with the closed bank's entire liabilities. The virtues of the plan, as seen by the guaranty fund commission, are that it permits a greater salvaging of assets in a shorter time than would be possible under a receivership and provides banking facilities for the community. 38 Banks Are Restored During its work of reopening of closed banks, through strengthening and reorganization, the depositors guaranty fund commission auditors have examined 108 banks, including 60 special deposit and 48 closed banks. It has reopened in full 26 special deposit banks and 12 closed banks, a total of.38. The deposits of the 26 special deposit banks totaled $4,040,178.00 and of 12 reopened closed banks $877,818.00. In addition there was sold on bid to open banks acceptable assets of four special deposit banks, taking over part of the depositors' claims, totaling $672,598.00 and a similar sale of assets of closed banks, which were reopened made totaling $500,332. The total liability of which the guaranty fund was relieved under this plan reached 66,090,926.00. Commission Has Been Busy The depositors guaranty fund commission, which has been criticized in various quarters during the last t years, at least has not been idle, according to members.. resume of the work required in the examinations and openings is furnished as follows: Inspectors of commission examined 108 banks. The co mission examined every item in these reports which included examination of 31,228 loans together with the curity attached to each, such as listing and valuing ch tels, real estate, collateral, notes, financial statements of makers, chattel and real estate abstracts. Valuing 104 banking houses, 108 sets of furniture and fixtures in which every item from a burglar proof screw door safe down an ink well was invoiced and appraised, fire, tornado burglary insurance policies checked and verified. Caused to be listed and appraised other real estate. timated number of pieces over 500 and acreage over 8 besides valuing town properties carried on the real e accounts. Checked and verified depositors' accounts the number of 44,496. Verified 540 accounts with correspondent banks or serve banks. Also 432 accounts bills payable with all t thousands of notes and securities pledged as collateral. Five copies of each report are required to be made in in each bank, and these reports, if piled one on top of the other, would make a pile over 20 feet high and estimated weight would be half a ton. The minutes of the commission since the inauguration of the guaranty fund amount to 428 pages, of which 286 pages have been made since July 1, 1923, and equal to 363 closely typewritten letter size pages.

NORTH DAKOTA •q• • • • https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis The fifth and last state to adopt a compulsory guaranty of bank deposits plan was North Dakota. The law went into effect here in 1917. It provided for a regular annual assessment of 1/20 of 1 per cent of average daily deposits until the fund should reach 2 per cent of deposits when assessments ceased until it fell below 11/2 per cent. In case of emergency four extra assessments of 1/20 of 1 per cent in any one year could be called for, making the maximum total levy 1/4 of 1 per cent. The banking law in this state gave the banking authorities full dis- cretionary authority to investigate and pass upon the desirability of granting charters for new banks both from the point of view of the qualifications of the organizers and of the public need for additional banking facilities. They had powers to submit to careful scrutiny all established banks before admitting them to the guaranty plan and to close those that could not comply with the prescribed requirements of condition and management; under this power several banks were closed. Minimum capitalization for a new bank was $15,000, in places up to 1000 population, with a rising scale for larger places. When the guaranty law went into effect there were 430 banks with capital less than $15,000, of which 414 had capital of $10,000 or less. For several years immediately prior to the passage of the act there were no state bank failures reported in North Dakota. The apparent success of the plan in other states during the first years of its operations under favorable conditions was a factor in its adoption in North Dakota rather than any immediate situation there as an argument for its adoption. When the plan started there were all told 695 state banks in North Dakota, with deposits of $90,300,000, and 158 national banks with $59,000,000. Thus there was a total of 853 banks with $149,300,000 in deposits, of which 80 per cent were in the state system, holding 60 per cent of the deposits. At this time there were only 910 persons per bank in this state. Moderate Expansion of State Banking In the first three prosperous years of the plan the number of state banks increased moderately. On June 30, 1920, there were 717 state banks, an increase of only 22 units, with deposits of $124,100,000, or an expansion of $33,800,000. In the same period the number of national banks rose to 181, a gain of 23 units, with deposits of $76,800,000, a gain of $17,800,000. At this stage there were 898 banks of both classes, a gain of 45, or 5 per cent, and $200,900,000 in deposits, an expansion of $51,600,000, or 34 per cent. State banks now constittued 80 per cent of the total as to numbers and held about 62 per cent of the deposits. At this point there were only 720 persons per bank, so that the condition of over-banking had become even more acute. The contribution of state banking to the inward weakening of the banking situation during this initial period of the guaranty plan was greater than appears on the surface of the foregoing figures, which indicate but a moderate expansion. Between June 30, 1917 and June 30, 1920, 89 new state banks were chartered, a number that was partially offset by consolidations and liquidations among state banks and by conversions to national charters. Among the newly chartered state banks 62 had capital of $20,000 or less and 50 had the minimum of $15,000. The net result of these shifts tended to increase the number of banks in the state with small capital and located in small places. The number of banks in the $15,000 to $20,000 classes increased from 169 in 1917 to 221 in 1920. During its first three years the North Dakota guaranty plan experienced no difficulties. In this period, in the third year, two banks were sus{ 30 •e10, = sh, pended and their depositors were promptly paid in full with the aid of the guaranty fund. In the fourth year the collapse began. • The Basic Fallacy of the Guaranty In the year ended June 30, 1921, 51 state banks failed. Crop failures 'among bank borrowing customers and national money stringency were attributed as the main causes in the report of the state bank commissioner. This,then,accentuates in clear-cut terms the basic fallacy of the guaranty idea. It attempts by means of premiums on the limited basis of the banks, which are only a _Dalt of the financial structure, to insure against the results of risks which originate outside the banks and are as wide in their source as the entire economic situation. It is as though a single insurance rate, based on fire experience alone, were made to serve for indemnity against all kinds of disaster. In 1922, 12 state banks closed, in 1923, 20, and in 1924, 127. The aggregate liabilities of the 210 banks that closed in the four year period, 1921-24, were $39,600,000. The number of suspended banks was 29 per cent of those in operation at the beginning of the trouble in 1920. During this period 28 national banks, or 15 per cent of those at the outset, were suspended. Bank Failures Under the Plan • During the next five years, 1925-29, 175 more state banks closed in a steady average of 35 a year. In 1929 the law was repealed. In the ten years of the operation of the plan from 1919 to 1929, a total of 387 state banks suspended, out of 710, or more than 50 per cent, with aggregate liabilities of $67,000,000. In this period 61 national banks in North Dakota also failed, which was 35 per cent of those in operation at the outset. This unusually high ratio for national banks doubtless was indicative of the unusually difficult conditions that were prevalent and which created economic risks that were wider than banking and entirely uninsurable through the limited medium of assessments against banks, based on their deposits for computation, but falling wholly on the much narrower basis of capital earnings for source of payment. Financial Breakdown of the Plan The financial disaster of the North Dakota guaranty plan was complete. The assessments during the life of the fund amounted to about $2,000,000. This was sufficient only to pay 10 per cent on the claims of depositors of about 200 of the closed banks. At the close of 1928 the out--standing certificates and claims eligible to guaranty totalled $25,000,000, against which there were estimated assets in the hands of the fund totalling • https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis approximately $13,000,000, leaving a then apparent deficit of $12,000,000, which was increased to some $14,000,000 by subsequent claims. There was, in this case, no provision for interest, so that all the income from assessments was applicable against the principle, but this income in 1928 was only about $140,000, and the deposits in state banks were rapidly shrinking. The prospects of ever actually wiping out the deficit by this means were therefore hopeless. A proposal to issue state bonds to pay off the depositors of the closed banks was overwhelmingly defeated. The guaranty law was repealed in 1929. GUilhAin Y ()re Bi.,NK DLOJIs N0f-LTH DAKOri A Frow Federal hcservc BulletU, SepteiLber 1925 Guaranteed deposits in North Dakota State banks on March 14, 1925, amounted nearly to $86,000,000. In the eight years 1917 to 1924 participating banks had paid assessments totaling $1,274,000. Complete settlements had been effected in the case of two failed banks by the payment of $169,156, and 10 per cent dividend payments to depositors in 58 closed banks had been made totaling $212,710. The number of participating banks is given as 504; the amount in the fund as $915,505, and the amount of outstanding certificates of indebtedness as approximately $21,000,000. No estimate, it is stated, can be made of the amount of guaranteed deposits in failed banks. Recoveries realized on the assets of closed banks have amounted approximately to $200,000. Assets in the hands of receivers totpl approximately $35,000,000 and are estimated to be worth not more than 40 per cent of this value. Under present arrangements a very long period of time would be required to provide out of assessments for claims admittedly valid against the fund.

Van AFossen • April 29, 1926 Subject?! °peration of State Deposit Guaranty_Laws NORTE DAKOTA: Date of approval of law- ' l arch 10, 1917. In the eight years from 1917 to 1924 participating banks had paid assessments totaling $1,274,000. In 1925 the amount in the fund was $915,5051 and the amount of outstanding certificates was approximately $2,000,000. Recoveries realized on the assets of closed banks amounted to about $200,000 and approximately $35,000,000 of assets still in the hands of receivers are estimated to be worth not more than 40 per cent of their nominal value. On Dec. 31, 1925, $320,497.95 of "Guaranty fund deposits" were on deposit with state banks and trust companies. It was estimated in 1925 that it would probably be anywhere from 30 to 50 years before all claims which will ultimately be admitted are paid off under the present arrangement. MEMORANDUM: Mr. Van Fossen Subject: NORTH DAKOTA: Jan. 4.2_1927 Supplement to memorandum of April 29, 1926, on operation of State deposit guaranty laws. Mr. C. R. Green, Manager of the Bank of North Dakota is quite in expressing the belief that the guaranty fund law in North Dakota has 111 frank failed miserably. It has some $30,000,000 in liabilities piled up against it and a prospect that it will not fight clear for years even if the burden gets no greater. He proposes an amendment to create a special investment fund for savings accounts of $1,000 or less with a guaranty protection fund similar to that now in use. The next step would be to limit the use which banks could make of funds so deposited. (See Commercial Vest, September 25, 1926). Fro,1: "The Financial Age" - Dec. 22, 1928 Vol. LVIII - No. 27 -_page 686 Subject: Jan. 52 1929 The Guaranty Fund Law in North Dakota The Guaranty Fund law is still on the statute books of N. D. and depositors in failed banks in that State have been reimbursed to the extent of only about 10 per cent of their deposits by the Fund. As the law was passed by a former legislature and was opposed by the bankers as an unscientific measure, which assumption is now proved true, from the fact that at the present rate of assessment it will take nearly a century to pay the debts of the failed banks if no other member of the Fund fails in -hat time, it was thought that possibly the people would consider the debt more or less one of honor and vote a bond issue not to exceed $25,000,000 to pay those who had been induced to place their deposits in the banks because they were guaranteed by the Fund. S https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis 2 On this theory a constitutional amendment providing for a bond issue for the purpose was submitted to the voters of the State at a recent election in November and was overwhelmingly defected by a vote of 218,197 to 24,787, every one of the 53 counties in the State returning a majority against it.

States in which GuarantL_Law has been recently repealed. NORTE_LAKOTA - The law was repealed by an overwhelming majority in both houses of the State Legislature in April, 1929. At the end of 1928 an attempt was made to liquidate the debts of failed banks by means of floating a bond issue supported by a constitutional amendment. Voters of the State at the last November election defected the amendment by a vote of 218,197 to 24,787, and every one of the 53 counties returned a majority against it. In July, 1917, when the law became effective, there 695 State banks and trust companies; from that date to June 1929, 322 banks had been closed, 47 consolidated or liquidated without loss, and the remaining institutions subject to the law stood at 326. Final repeal, then, came about as the result of the considerable amount of public sentiment in favor of the abolishment of this obnoixious law and the concentrated pressure brought to bear upon the 1929 Legislative session by State bankers. vvere MEMORANDUM: Mr. Foster. Subject: Apr. 1, 1930. Review of the Guaranty Law System in 8 States. DIEIR DAKOTA: North Dakota ratified the compulsory guaranty law in 1917. Until the depression of 1920 and 1921 no serious problems were encountered. Between November 15, 1920 and December 31, 1928, 322 state banks closed their doors. The assessments on the 377 participating banks since 1917 had brought in $1,957,679, which was enough to pay only 10 per cent on the claims of depositors in 201 of the 322 closed banks. At the time of repeal, April, 1929, there was a net deficit of $14,000,000. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis October 28, 1965 Hon.

Cramer: Replying to your inquiry of June 19, 1956, re the N rth Dakota Depositors' Guaranty Fund, it will take some little time to run down the various leads which we have discovered concerning this now long defunct operation. 11/ It was first operated by a commission, but after becoming hopelessly insolvent was dissolved by the Legislature according to the provisions of Chapter 122, 1929 Session Laws. The Session Laws of 1931, Chapter 135, turned over whatever was left of the relics to the State Examiner as custodian. I believe there is approximately $300.00 left in the Fund, which has never been distributed to the creditors of the some five or six hundred banks which failed during the life of the Commission. To add to the confusion, the North Dakota State Capitol was burned to the ground on December 28, 1930, and practically all of the closed banks records which were stored in the Capitol were destroyed. We will continue our search in the archives and if anything is found besides corresnondence which we have in this office since 1935, I will communicate with you.

Our studies of these State systems were not brought to completion at that time. They have recently been resumed, and we are now preparing reports on each of then which we plan to complete for publication. In North Dakota most of the banks which failed while the depositors' guaranty fund was in operation were liquidated under the direction of a receiver appointed in accordance with the law of 1927 which gave original jurisdiction of bank insolvency proceedings to the Supreme Court of the State. In 1935 we had same correspondence with Mr. L. R. Baird, the receiver, who remained in charge of completion of liquidation of those banks after the change in law in 1933 which vested appointment of receivers for future bank failures in the State Banking Board. In resuming our study of the North Dakota deposit guaranty fund we would like to have more detailed information regarding the liquidation of the failed basks that participated in the guaranty system than wit obtained through correspcmidag with Kr. Baird. Therefore, we would like to ask whether the records left by xi.. Baird when the receivership proceedings under his jurisdiction were completed would be available to a member of our staff who might come to Bismarck to use them. We would like very much to obtain sufficient information to enable us to prepare a tabulation of the failed banks by year of failure showing Such items as their total deposits, the claims allowed for guaranty, other claims, payments from the guaranty fund, and other payments to creditors by the receiver. We presume the receivership records from Nt. Baird'5 office are now in archives or storage. We would appreciate it very such if you could inform us whether these files and records would oe available for our use in obtaining data for such tabulations.

Gilbert Semingson, State Examiner, Banking Deprtment, Bismarck, North Dakota. Dear r. Semingson: Ve are undertaking a very thorough study and analysis of the Guaranty of Deposits section of the Banking Act of 1963. Now that the temporary plan is well under wry, it does seem that it is meeting witn the approval of not daily the public but conservative bankers as well. It seems that those wno oppose the guaranty most strenuously frequently refer to the unsatisfactory experience in several states where it has been tried. Sponsors seem to be able to show, however, that simply because it failed in a number cbf indidual states this does not prove at all that it will not work on a national basis. Inasmuch as the State of North Dakota vas among those where it was tried, you natul.a.11y have first-hand information and undoubtedly some very concrete ideas as to what the possibilities are.

Fox, Jr., Chief Statistician Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Washington, D. C. My dear Mr. Fox: I don't see how I can give you an intelligent answer to inquiries indicated as "First" and "Second" in your letter of January 24th. Probably you have made a study of our Guaranty Fund Law and find some reference to the liquidation of banks by the Depositors Guaranty Fund Commssion. This, however, was never undertaken. The way in which the Guaranty Fund operated was about as follows: • A receiver was appointed for the banks. He accepted claims, and after the same were duly checked over, they were either allowed or disallowed. Of course, any claim as shown by the books of the bank as a liability was ordinarily allowed and a receiver's certificete issued therefor. When the receiver's certificates were issued, then these were used as the basis of a claim against the Depositors Guaranty Fund, and the Commission made it a general rule not to consider any claim until the same had been passed upon by the receiver. The receiver, however, did not undertake to pass upon the question of whether or not such claims were bona fide deposits coming under the provision of the Guaranty Fund law. He simply accepted them as liabilities against the bank. The Depositors Guaranty Fund Commission, through its auditors, then tent through the books of the bank and determined whether or not each claim was a bona fide deposit or whether it was in the nature of an exchange of credit, secured deposit, bills payable, or some other liability. This procedure of the Depositors Guaranty Fund accounts for the difference between the total amount of so-called deposits and the amount approved for payment by the Fund. • By way of explanation I might inject right here tha a large portion of the rejected claims are accounted for by a practice ihich seemed to have grown up in this country. Ahere insurance companies, or other concerns who had something to sell in the community, would take its customer's notes, and then take them to the bank and turn them over t') the bank and receive in lieu thereof the bank's certificates of deposits. Such transactions the Depositors Guaranty Fund listed as an "exchange of credit." Personally it is my opinion that if a claimant could have shown that the bank had its legal reserve, there was absolutely no reason thy the bank could not have purchased such notes, or other obligations, and either paid https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis #2 • up the same in cash or issued cfrtificates of denosit, thus making the claim a bona fide deposit. /However, under the law the Depositors Guaranty Fund was practically final as to the status of claims, and the result was as indicated above. The value of the assets, referred to in your letter under paragraph three, was an estiate which I believe I prepared many years ago for the Depositors Guaranty Fund. It is our practice As soon as we have taken over a closed bank to make a very careful survey and appraisal of the assets. This enables us to determine tae value of the clains against the bank, and right here I might say that our value is usually a conservative one from the standpoint of the bank. Having fixed a value upon the chims by determining the value of the assets, we then are in a position to accept claims against the bank in payment of oblik,ations, real estate or other assets which we are trying to liquidate at a certain percentage of the face of the claims. We then accept such claims in payment of obligations, real estate or anything else, for what we consider them to be reasonably worth. An exchange of claims on this basis for assets, of course, will have thc result of liquidating a large portion of both the assets and liabilities of the bank, but is not in a true sense of the word covered under the heading of 'bffsets", hence the reason why I am not able to answer your inquiry under paragraph listed as "First". With reference to your paragraph listed as "Third," as I stated above the recoverable value of the assets at the time the Guaranty Fund Law became inoperative was compiled by myself but has worked out about as follows: We have paid in general dividends to creditors on banks which properly came under the Guaranty Fund Law the sum of 44,291,594.32 in general dividends. We made a recent appraisal of the remaining assets and have determined their recoverable value to be 41,807,403.25. You will note that the recoverable value of the assets was, therefore, about 46,000,000.00 in place of 45,000,000.00, the larger amount given under the recoverable value and referred to by yourself. However, the apparent discrepancy between 45,000,000.00 and 46,000,000.00 can probably be accounted for in this manner: At the time we made our estimate and reported the same to tne Guaranty Fund Commission, whicn has been reported to you, we had paid dividends of approxilLately Z1,000,000.00. Consequently our appraisal was probably about correct. You understand, of course, that during the time the Guaranty Fund was in operation the Receiver continued to pay dividends just as though no Guaranty Fund was in operation. The only difference between our operations at that time and now was that when we paid a dividend, dividends going to creditors who had been accepted under the Guaranty https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Fund Law Tere paid to the Commission, and in turn by the Commission disbursed to the individual claimants. I don't know whether I have made myself entirely clear or not, but if not, I wish you would fee'lperfectly free to write and ask any questions you may desire. Yours very truly, (s) L. R. Baird L.

Fox, Jr., Chief Statistician, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir:We do not keep our records so that it is possible to furnish much of the exact information which is being asked for, for statistical purposes, and therefore this reply to your favor of Janutry 7th, I fear will not be as comprehensive and correct as you would like to have it. The information, of course, could be compiled, but it would require an enormous amount of labor and expense, and we do not feel "warranted in incurring such expense. liowever, 1 am going to give you the information as nearly correct as I can, with some explanations. Your first question is as to the amount of deposits in banks which failed during the time the Guaranty Fund was in force. This information has been furnished you by the State Examiner, under date of January 6, 1965. His records are more complete on this informLtion than ours are, and therefore I shall not attempt to modify the figures whicA no has given you, as I feel sure they are quite correctYour next question is - what dividends were paid to deositors through the liquidation of assets of closed banks. I take it that this question means, during the tidie in which the Guaranty Fund Law was in force, and as to sucn banks which closed subject to the law. Many claims against banks are eliminated through off-sets, compromise settlements, etc., and as to such claims, ' of course they will not participate in dividends. On tanks which closed during the time the Guaranty Fund Law was in operation we have thus far paid, in casn dividends, the sum of 4_51670,541.90: There are still 199 banks on which the final dividend has ria - teen paid. Since the Guaranty Fund Law became inoperative, which was on July 1, 1929, the banks whicn have closed had general clair.s, which included some ciiims other than deposits, in the sum of $11,862,786.1)0, and on these banks we have paid, in actual cash dividends up to January 1, 1935, the sum of $1,305.881.29. Most of these banks are still in the process of liquidation. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis • MFF-2 It is impossible to give you an accurate estimate of the actual amount of cash that was collected on statutory stockholders liability. In nearly every case, most stockholders were also liable on guarantees and direct paper, and in such financial condition, that it was impossible to collect all that they awed, and consequently the settlement was generally that of a settlement of all of the individual's liabilities, whether the same was incurred on account of the ownership of stock, direct obligations to the banks, or guarantees. I have tried to esti ate this recovery, and as near as I can tell it amounts to somewhere between 3D and 40%. I do not believe that it is possible, from these figures, to drat any general c)aclusions, but from my experience in nandling closed banks in this State for the past 11 years, it seems to me that the banks which have closed after the Guaranty Fund Law became inoperative, were in better condition and a larger percentage has or till be returned to the depositors than in those banks which closed during the time the Guaranty Fund law was in operation. The only way that I can account for this is that there were stricter examinations and more attention given to the condition of banks after July 1, 1929, than there was prior to that time. Then, too, from complaints which te have received from time to time, it seems to me that the Guaranty Fund Law, as operated in this State, was conducive of loose banking. I feer that this does not give you the desired information, but as I explained in the first part of this letter, without the exnenditure of a large amount of money, and trouble, it is impossible to get this information for you with any degree of accuracy. Yours, very truly,. • (s) L. R. Baird L. h.

Enclosed you will find copy of a letter written by Gilbert Semingson when he was State Examiner to Mr. 1. li. Maier of St. Paul. I am told by those in charge of the examiner's office that this letter contains all the statistics qvailable with reference to receipts and disbursements of the Guaranty Fund while the law was in operation. I am also sending you under separate cover copy of the guaranty laws, which you probably already nave, but a duplicate copy may be of use to some member of your office force. If the information contained in Mr. SeminEson's letter is not all that you wish, please write me again and give me further instructions as to the information you desire. I presume you are awareof the political situation that has developed in North Dakota. It seems we go from just one sensation to another. What the outcome of this latest move will be, it is impossible to say at this time. About all we are able to determine definitely is that the Supreme Court will have another nasty mess on its hands, and no matter which way they decide they will be condemned by somebody. It is surely a most unfortunate matter, and that the effects will be on the politics of this state I do not know. Things seem to be getting worse rather than better. We were all very happy over the re-election of Judges Burr and we feel that r. Yorris will make a valuable member of Nuesile, and he qualifies. I presume it is really not necessary for me when court the the comment on political situation in this state, as I suppose you are to fully informed already. • Thus far we have had a very pleasant winter. There is practically no snow and we have had no bitter cold weather. The states to the east and south of us have suffered greatly from deep snow and extremely cold weather. We have had only one morning rhen the temperature fell how https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis zero and then not more than six degrees.

The history of the luaranty 2und of the State of North Dakota is as follows: The oricten1 law creitine a Depositors Duaranty 'land in that State as 'passed by the Lec7islature at its 1917 Sossion and the Fund bean its operation on July 1st of that year. This Pet, being Chapter 126 of the 1917 Session Laws, provided for a guaranty Fund Cc:omis sion to be composed of five members, the Governor, the State Examiner, and three men bers a-nointed by the governor from a list of Mine men select ed the banks directly affected by the provisions of the Act. 7sach bank admitted to the Fund, under the provisions of the Act, was reuired to file a statenent of its average annual deposits with the Coaqission. The Law provided that an assessment of one-twe ntieth of one percent of its averaze amenal deposits was to be levied against each member brink, and four additional assessments of a like amount could be levied against endh mesiber bank until the casAireserv of the Depositors - uaranty Fund had reached a level of one percent of l the total averace annual denosits of all member banks. When the casgreserve of the Fund had reached this fiL;ure, the assessments were then to be discontinaed uhtil the cash reserve had been depleted below one percent through the closin 7 of a member bank.

A copy of the repeal measure will be found on Page 104 of the 1929 Commilatien. The luaranty Fund Law in the Statc of north Dakota was ther. a fore in operation twave years. Duriree this time there was an income, tie • assessments levied against member banks and miscellaneous fees eherged, of $2,076,169.98. During the same period there eere three hundred and fortmember banks closed, creating a liability in the Fund of approximately $25,000,000.00. The first two banks to close were paid out in fullN t. Guaranty 7Und. These two banks closed in 1919. /In 1920 banks clos‘d so fast that it was impossible for the Commission to wait the claims filed aeainst the 2und, and they then adopted the policy of mine a ten percent dividend on banks in the order in which they closed. fhis practice was continued until 1929, at 'which time the Act was repealed. Duriaa this time the CommIssie paid a ten percent dividend in connection with two hundred and one State and there were one hundred and thirty seven State belare which had closed bet in connection with which no dividends had eeen paid. 24e Repeal Measure previded that the funds remainine: on hand. be prorated to the creditors of these one hundred and thirty seven banks, and in accordance therewith a final dividend of one percent was then declared. The total dividends paidout by the Guaranty Fund in connection with the three heeAred and forty member banks which closed amounted to approxieately $2,000,000.00. In addition to the reduction of 4,000,000.00 throudh the dividends declared by the ?and, the liability of the Fund had been reduced in the amount of ap:raxlmately $3,0 ,Oee.00 Chrouah dividend payments made by the aeceiver of the insolvent banks, leavina. a net unpaid liability at the time of the hepeal of approximately •e20,006,0 -.00. Most of these bwere still in the arocess of liquidation and it is aeobable that the net liability of the 2und in connection with these three hundred and forty banks, after all liquidation by the Receiver had been applied ther-on, would have been between $l5,00.,00:.00 and 4;17,0 0,000.00. At the time of the repeal measure, the annucl income of the Fund through assessments aeainst croon members was approximately $l00,00..00. With this incoee, it wo-dei have taken over one hundred years to have liquidated the determined liabilety of the Fund at that time. There have been many' banks closed since the repeilof the Act, idildh would have added to the liability of the .?and, had the Act not been repealed, and eh/eh also would have decreased the income of the Fiend throueeh assessments. Of the Guaranty of Bank Deposit laws enacted by eleven or twelve states, I believe all were repealed, with the exception of the law ir the state of Mississippi. In that ease, the state issued bonds for about $20,0 ),000.00, in order to pay off the liability of the Depositors Guararte Fund. There was an initiated measure introduced in the state of North Dal: attemptine to float a bond issue of $25,000,0 1 .00 for the same purpose, b . it was hopelessly defeated by a vote of thirteen to one majority. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis " A:142a —4111" , *" VRA, The Guaranty Fund law of the state of north Dakota can hardly be compared with the Federal Guaranty ff Deposits Section of the 1933 Rankiiv Act, inasmuch as in that state the z;Ilarantee of Jeposits was unlimited and under the new Federal Act the de7,osits are olaranteed only to the extent of $5,000.00 Then again, the Fede sal Government has lent its support, both financially and morally, to this Law, litale the State 7' North Dakota made no financial contribution Whatever to the FUnd. In that State, onl:f ;1. of of the total ., e.posits could be levied in assessments in any one year, the federal law provides for a levy of * of l and additional assessment of a like amount may be levied in any one year. North Dakota banIcs, urcler the Guaranty Fund, did not have the opportunitto rehabilitate their capital structures as isiiminc done under this a Mama Act Iv tl,e Government thwoudh the Reconstruction limamoe GorporaL North Dakota pioneered in this movement and did not have a okaase to profit by the experiences of others in a Ulm undertaktmg. There mew have been too much haste in qualifyiw: banks for admission and the requirements were not as stringent as they are under the Federal Act. The fund in that state had to be built up tkrourh assessments and had not been in operation long enough to create a reserve that would be sufficient to core with the gre;:t numb,Ir o: sank c1osiN7s, which were due primarily to depressed agricultural conditions. Agriculture, during the time that bank closings were at the peak, wag at the loweqt ebb that it had been in a hundred years. The above is believed to be a comprehensive survey of the operation of the Depositors •luaranty Fund in the state of North Dakotrl and it is hoped that it will convey to yon adequate infornrAtion. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Yours very truly, L. J. 17221 Brunt Sirlervisint7 11xa -liner T,mn District February 17. 1934. Vr. T. D. Maier, Chairman Tducational Committee, The First National Bank of qt. Paul, St. Paul, Minnesota. Dear Sir:Replying to your letter of the 14th inst., the original lAw oreatinp a Depoeitors Guaranty Fund in the State of North Dskota was passed V.7-67ii-Legislature at it 1917 Session, and the Depositors Guaranty Fund began its operation on July 1st of that year. This Act, being Chapter 12b of the 1917 Seseion Laws, .)rovided for a Gliarhnty Pand Com&Assion to be composed of five members, the Governor, the State EAFeiminer, and three members appointed by the Governor from a list of nine men selected by the banks directly affected by the provisions of the Act. 410 fl Zach bank admitted to the repoeitore Guaranty fund under the provisions of the Act as required to file a statement of its average annuA. deposits Tith the aomission. The lar provided that an assessment of one-tventieth of rne per cent of its average annual deposits was to be livied against each member bank each year, and four additienal assessmente of like iJmount could be levied against each member bank annually until the cash reserve of the Depositors Guaranty Fund had reched an amount eaual to one per cent of the totA. average Lnnual depoits of all member brics. Then the cash reserve of the Fund had reached this figure, the assessments were then to be discontinued until the cash reserve had been depleted below one per cent threuFh the closinq of a member bank. The original law provided that upon the closing of a. bank it would be the duty of the State Txato prepare an itemized list of all of the liabilities of such bank and certify the same to the Depositors ronranty Fund Commission for payment. The 1017 Law was revir-zed and rewritten at the 1923 Session of our Legislature. lre are sending you underseparate cover a copy of the 1029 Compilation of Laws relating to Stte Banks, Savings Banks and Trust Companies. On page 00 of this Compilation you will find Chapter 319 of the Supplement to the 1°13 Compiled Laws, which sets forth the entire law relatinF to the Depositors Guaranty Fund, as revised at the 1973 Session. 4011 The Guaranty of Deposits Act was repealed by our Legislature at its 107•0 Session, th.-! repeal measure being Chapter 12 of the 1929 qession Lars, which became effective July let of that https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis 2. Page Yr. T. D. Maier. 4411 year. A copy of the repeal measure will be found on page 104 of the 1929 Compilation. The Guaranty Fund law in this State was therefore in operation twelve years. During this time there was an income, through assessment levied against member banks and miscellaneous fees. charged, of $2,076,169.98. During the same period there were three hundred and forty member banks closed, creatirv a liability in the Fund of approxim&tely t25,0000000.00. At the time of the repeal of the Act, this liability had been reduced approximately $2,T)00,000.00 through dividends declared by the Fund, :nd ap9roximately 3,000,000.00 through dividends made by the Receiver of the insolvent member banks, leaving a net unpaid liability at the time of the Repeal of approximately $20,000,000.00. It is probable, however, that the net liability of the Fund in connection with these three hundred and forty banks after all liolidation by the Receiver had been applied thereon, would have been between 15,000,000.00 and 117,000,000.00. At the time of the repeal measure the annual income of the Fund through assessments against open member banks was approximately t100,000.00. "Ath this income, it would have taken over one hundred yaars to have liouidated the determined liability of the Fund at that time. There have been many banks closed since the repeal of the Act, which rould have added to the liability of the Fund, had the Act not been repealed, and rhich alo ro,ild have decreed the income of the Fund through assessments. 410 Of the Guaranty of Bank Deposit laws enacted by eleven or tirelve states, we believe all were repealed with the exception of the law in the State of Mississippi. In that case the ltate issued bonds for about I20,000,000.00 in order to pay off the liability of its Depositors Guaranty Fund. There wa.' an initiated measure introduced in this state attempting to float a bond issue of 125,000,000.00 for the same purpose, but it hopelessly defeated by a vote of a thirteen to one majority. As to some of the differences between our North De<ota plan and the Guaranteed Deposit Section of the 1933 Bankin Act, the guarantee in this state was unlimited and the State was not behind it. The Federal Government is behind the new Federal Act, and only guarantees deposits in full to the extent of 12,500.00. In our state law, only one-fourth of one per cent of the total deposits could be levied in assessments in any one year, while the Federal Law provides for a levy of one-half of one per eent and an additional aseessment of a like amount may be levied in any one year. : North Dakota pioneered in this movement and did not have a chance to profit by the experiences of others in a like undertaking. There may have been too much haste in oualifying banks for admission and the requirements were not. as stringent a ,- they are under the Federal kat. The fund In this state had to be built up through assessments and had not been in operation long enough https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis _A A T 1 Pa e 3. r. T. D. Maier. to create a reserve that would be quffloient to cope with the great number of closings, which were due to the agricultural economic conditions which were at the lowest ebb they had been in a hundred years, and North Dakota is entirely dependent on its agricultural resources. Very truly yo,Irs, Deputy Txaminer. .T"TG: L. I https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis • E. J. LANDER & CO. ESTABLISHED 1889 • INVESTMENTS GRAND FORKS. NORTH DAKOTA FILE https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis November 6th, 1934. Miss Winifred M. Mulloy, c/o Federal Deposit Ins. Corp., Washington, D. C. Dear Winifred: Your letter of October 23rd, asking me to give you my views with respect to the guaranty of deposit law which was in effect in our State some years ago, came duly. I laid it aside hoping to get to it within a day or two but here it turns up today wholly unanswered. Now, Winifred, you know th-t I would go a long ways out of my way to do most anything that you would ask of me, However, I have been so tremendously involved in details and business generally during the last few weeks that I scarcely know which way to turn and my mind is far from being settled--but like a grasshopper jumping from firct one thing then to another almost blindly; and now I am unexpectedly leaving for about a week's trip in Montana. Upon my return there will be a mountain of work awaiting my attention, so under these conditions, I am sure that you will excuse me from giving even a minuteb thought to the proposition you submits Frankly, I am in favor of the F. D. I. C. notwithstanding the fact that North Dakota's experience with the guaranty law was unouestionably of little advantage to depositors and of distinct disadvantage to even reasonably well managed banks. During the period of its existance however, conditions were so abnormal that it seems to me that even the crude law which we had did not have even a fair chance to demonstrate itself. Our agricultural depression out here really started following the winter of 1919-20, but most of us did not then and do not now, recognize that as a fact. You know of course th-t we lost more than two-thirds of our State Banks that were in existance, in 1920. What could the poor country banker do anyhow with land values vanishing, short crops, crop failures, and unheard of low prices? That's what we have had, not every year, but most of the time since the beginning of 1920; so with or without a guaranty law, country bankers out here found their securities and notes and mortgages largely uncollectable. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis E.

Miss Winifred Mulloy Page No. 2 In 1929 and following, if they were so fortunate as to be carrying bonds as a secondary reserve, they found thpt they were faced with tremendous losses when obliged to realize on them.

Managerial incompetence, inadequate earnings, or excessive competition The annual reports of the State Examiner to the State Banking Bo6rd of North Dakota, which are the only reports published by the State Banking Board, contain no information or discussion of the causes of bank failure. An observer of banking conditions in North Dakota, in his address at the North Dakota State Banking Association in 1926, placed relatively little emphasis upon dishonesty and much emphais upon deflation of agricultural values and excessive competition in his discussion of the causes of bank failure. The following quotations are taken from the address of this observer: ....I doyi not think that corrupt conduct or dishonesty played any material part in bringing about the catastrophe. tt is true that the failure of some of the banks was hastened and, perhaps, actually caused, by embezA.ements and dishonesty, but such instances are rare; though there were many laws subsequently violated in perhaps mistaken attempts to protect the depositors by keeping the banks from closing. 1 Beyond controversy, the chief cause was the deflation in values which began during the summer of 1920 and which within the next three years reduced such values at least 50%, bringing financial distress to the agricultural interests and to all activites and business dependent thereon. ....At high water mark, in Decemker 1920, there were 723 banks and trust coiapanies to a population of 646,000, or an average of one bank for each 800 people, men, women and childred, in the State. Assuming the normal average of one bread winner tJ each five inhabitiants, there was one bank for every 160 bread winners; in other words, each group of 160, men or women of 0171,1 earring capacity, was required to support one bank, if the banking business was to prosper; obviously, this was impossible. 1/ 70/0)444/M500/10/AM/$40/WAVAO/Xn Nol'1 1/0004///:// Causes of failures occurring during the years 1921 to 1930, as reported by the State Examiner on schedules submitted to the Federal Reserve Committee on Branch, Group, and Chain Banking are summarized in Table ;. X1/ George A. Bangs, address at the North Dakota State Bankers Association: June 22, 1926.

W. Engel, S. G. Severtson, E. A. Fisher, Members Depositorts Guaranty Pund Commission, Gilbert Semincson, Secretary, Bismarok, I. Dak. Gentlemen: In compliance with agreement I have made an audit of the books, records .ind vouchers of the Depositors Cu-ranty Auld Commission of tEe ,.t to of Porth Dakota for the peried becinnintr: with the close of our previous audit, Dec. 1, 1926 to Lovember 30, 1928, and I hereby certify, that in my opinion, the followind st tements and schedules refle ct the true condition of the cash transactions of the depar tment for the period covered. A verification of the income from bank assessments was made by correspondence with the banks assessed, exceptine a few that have failed to repo rt to us before the close of our audit, as noted in detai l on pa,;-e 17. The other cash incomes to the department, which were smill, mere verified in the ussual m nner. The expenditures from the fund which were principally payments of dividends to the depositors were comp-ired with the vouchers on file in the department. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis The expenditures for administration expense were ext,Jained and found to be well within the mount authorized by law for that purpose, and we found all funds coming to the department to be properly accounted for. On pace 10 will be found a statement of kssets and Liabilities of the department as they appenred on Nov. 30th 1928. This is followed by a statement of collections and disbursements for the two years cover ed by this audit. These statements have the detai l and page number opposite each item for convenient reference to the supporting schedule following. The books of the department, and the Balance Jheet submitted herewith, do not show the liabilitie s to depositors of closed banks. Before this can be deter mined the receivers of the closed banks must wind up their affairs, and all c1J,ims on the Devositorts Guaranty Fund must be passed on to determine which are, and which are not a liability or a proper claim on the fund under the law. ;tt the present time there has been a ten percent dividend declared by the Commission on about twothirds of the banks that have closed to date. On the dividends authorized there is still an estimated amount of claims stnding unpaid of over a million dollars. It is very apparent that the full p,yment of the first ten percent dividend to depositors on all the banks closed to date is so far in the future, at the resent rate of net income to the rand, that an additional dividend to the depositors is so remote that its value to the depos itor is not worthy of consideration at this time. The Commissioners, officers and employees of the department were all found to be bonded and had 4ualified as provided by law, with the exception of the Lkana,]er of the Bank of I;orth Dpkota, who had not filed As oath of office, or had appe red to take part in the activities of the Commission. The records and proceodince of the department were found to be kept in a neat and systematic order . The record of the proceedincs of the Commission seeme d to give a full and complete record in detail of all Lutte:.'s acted on by the Commission. There were severEl minor cleric:a errors in the posting of p7Iym(,,nts to the depos itors claim https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis WEIS — me\ accounts that were corrected durin6 the process of our examination, with the exception of j.01 that WRIS not located by us. While these er ors are all small -nd not serious, we believe more care should be ,:iven in correctly booking these items. There are a number of clA.ms sheets with the field t.iuditor %nd referee that were not viewed by us Ald time would not permit catherinE in these documents. Otherwise we experienced no difficulty in proving the accounts as we found them. The officers and employees of the Depositor's Guilrf.nty Tund and the :eoeiver of Closed Banks afforded us every courtesy and assistance in the progress of our examination for which I wish to acknouledgt my apprec iation.

The act providing for the disoontinmamso and dissolution of the Depositors' Guurtinty Fund, passed by the twenty-first Legislative Assembly ard /*proved ty the referendum June 25, 1930, prlvides in section to of the h Ot 4s follows: "(Disbursement of :Fund.) On or before the let lay of leoember, 1930, said depositors' guaranty fund commission shall disburse und pay the balance of the funds in its hands to depositors in banks closing prior to .5u1y 1st, 1929, such funds so rem&ining in its hrinda kit said time to be disbursed among depositors holding olbims approved v nd allowed by said depositors' gaart,nty fund cornmission who have not theretofore received a dividend from amid fund and to be disbursed in the manner now in operation under said Chapter 51-s Of the Jupplement." It wbs the intent of the Legislature that the Commission should have from July 1, 1929 to December 1, 1350, or eeventeen months time, to comply with this dum, **cotton of the act, but, as s result of the referen 1950, July in until the law did not become effective the affairs leaving only about four months to wind up of the fund. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis 2 The law has been oomplied with as near as pr!:.otioal under existing. oonditions.
