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.

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.

to make such rules and regulations for the government of such corporations,
as in its judgment may seem wise and expedient, which rules shall not conflict
with any laws of the state of North Dakota or of the United States. It shall be

called for that purpose, to examine all reports made by said corporations relating to their condition, and all reports of regular and special examinations

reference thereto.
(5) The state examiner shall be ex-officio secretary of the state banking
board, and he shall keep all proper records and files pertaining to the duties

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

examinations, and such deputy examiners shall confine their work, as near
as may be, to the examination of corporations located within their respective districts, except that any such deputy examiners may be temporarily
transferred to other districts, or more than one deputy examiner may be
assigned temporarily to any district when the proper performance of the
work therein would indicate the necessity for so doing. No deputy examiner shall have any interest directly or indirectly in any corporation within
the jurisdiction of the banking department, nor in any corporation engaged
wholly or in part in the writing or issuing of bonds of or for any such
corporation or of the officers or employes of any such corporations.
(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

examined by him, with such recommendations and suggestions as he may
deem advisable.

fling to such periods of maturity, as may be determi
ned by the
Governor, in his discretion, upon consideration of such
recommendations as the Commission may make in regard thereto
. The Industrial Commission is empowered, authorized and directe
d, in
connection with and in addition to its other powers and duties,
to
act as the agent of the state for the negotiation, sale and
of said bonds. It shall sell them for cash in such mannerdelivery
such terms as in its sound discretion it shall deem most and at
geous to the interests of the state. The Commission isadvantahereby
authorized to receive all moneys paid by buyers of said bonds,
upon
the sale thereof, and upon receipt of the purchase price to deliver
to each purchaser the bonds by him purchased. Upon such delivery of bonds so purchased and paid for, the faith and credit
of
the State of North Dakota is pledged for the payment thereof,
both principal and interest, to the lawful holder and owner thereof upon presentation for payment, according to law. The moneys
so derived and received from the sale of said bonds shall constitute the fund to be designated as the capital of the Bank of North
Dakota, and shall be so employed by the Industrial Commission.
Nothing in this Act, however, shall be construed to prevent the
purchase of any of said bonds with any funds in the Bank of
North Dakota.
Sec. 5. From time to time the Industrial Commission shall.
out of the earnings derived from the operation of the Bank of
North Dakota, pay to the State Treasurer such moneys as the
Commission shall deem available to devote to the purpose of paying said bonds and interest. In making such payment the Commission shall file a statement with the State Treasurer specifying
the purpose of such payment. When moneys shall have been so
paid to the State Treasurer, he shall apply the same to their specified purpose as hereinafter directed.
Sec. 6. At the time of each annual meeting.of the State Board
of Equalization hereafter, the Industrial Commission shall deliver
to said board an exact written statement of all bonds issued tinder the provisions of this Act outstanding at that time, including
therein the dates of maturity, interest rates and all other information proper to enable the Board intelligently to comply with the
provisions of this Act in regard to tax levies. On the basis of such
information the State Board of Equalization shall annually levy
a tax, at the time other taxes are levied, sufficient in amount to
pay such interest on said bonds as will become due during the
year beginning on the next ensuing first day of January, and said
tax shall be collected in the same manner as other state taxes
are collected. In determining, however, the amount of the tax
sufficient for such purpose the Board of Equalization shall take
into account whatever moneys, if any, shall then have been paid
to the State Treasurer by the Industrial Commission as provided
in Section 5 of this Act, for the specific purpose of paying such
interest. The Board of Equalization shall apply to the State Tress-

urer for information as to the amount. of such moneys. and be
shall forthwith supply the information requested. If the amount
of such moneys shall equal or exceed the amount of the interest
on said bonds payable during said year beginning on the next ensuing first day of January, then no tax shall be levied by the
Board of Equalization for that purpose; but if the amount of
such moneys shall be less than the amount of the interest on said
bonds payable duripg said year, then the Board of Equalization
shall deduct the amount of said moneys in the possession of the
Treasurer from the amount of the interest so payable, and shall
t levy the tax hereinbefore in this Section provided for at least the
difference between said amounts.
Sec. 7. Whenever it shall appear to the Board of Equalization
from the information contained in any statement delivered to it
by the Industrial Commission at any annual meeting of said
Board, as provided in Section 6 above, that there will mature.
within a period of five years from such annual meeting, any of
1. the bonds provided for in this Act, the Board of Equalization
shall thereupon, at such annual meeting, levy a tax in an amount
; equal to one-fifth of the amount of the principal of such bonds;
provided, however, that in determining the amount of such tax,
the Board of Equalization shall take into account whatever moneys, if any shall have been paid to the State Treasurer by the Industrial Commission for the specific purpose of paying the principal of said bonds when due, as provided in Section 5 of this
Act. The Board of Equalization shall apply to the State Treasurer for information as to the amount of such moneys and as to the
times when paid to him. If the amount of such moneys, paid to
th''-easurer since the date of the last preceding tax levy made
by. _1 Board of Equalization, shall equal or exceed one-fifth of
the amount of the bonds so to mature, then such tax shall not be
levied; but if the amount of such moneys, paid to the State Treasurer since the date of the last preceding tax levy, shall be less
than one-fifth of the amount of said bonds so to mature, then
the Board of Equalization shall deduct the amount of such moneys, so paid, from such one-fifth of said bonds, and shall levy the
tax, hereinbefore in this Section provided, for the difference. It
is the intention of this Section to'provide that in each of the last
five years, before the maturity of any .of said bonds, a state tax
shall be levied which, together with such moneys as shall during
the next preceding year have been paid to the State Treasurer,
by the Industrial Commission for the purpose, shall he at least
sufficient to pay one-fifth part of the principal of said bonds.
Sec. 8. To identify and distinguish the funds provided and
available for the payment of the bonds issued pursuant to this
Act there is hereby created and established, as a part of the moneys of the State received and kept by the State Treasurer, a fund
to be designated the "Bank Bond Payment Fund." All moneys

taxes, or from payments made by the Industrial Commission, or
from legislative appropriation, or otherwise which • shall be by
law or by other authoritative designation made applicable to the
payment of the said bonds, or interest thereon, shall be by him kept
in said fund distinct from all other moneys, and shall be disbursed
by him only for the particular purpose or purposes for which
such moneys shall be delivered to him; and no other appropriation shall ever be made of the moneys in said fund until the said
bonds shall be fully paid. But this Act shall not be construed as
preventing the State Treasurer from depositing said funds in the
Bank of North Dakota, as provided by law with respect to all public funds.
Sec. 9. There is hereby appropriated, all of the moneys obtained as proceeds of the taxes provided for in Sections 6 and 7
above, and all moneys paid to the State Treasurer by the Industrial Commission as specified in Section 5 above, and all moneys
constituting the Bank Bond Payment Fund, or so much, thereof
as may be from time to time necessary, to pay the interest and
principal upon the said bonds as payments thereon, shall become
due; and whenever any of said bonds, or any coupons thereon,
being due, shall be presented for payment, the State Treasurer
shall pay the same out of the fund applicable sthereto. If for any
reason the said fund shall for the time being, be insufficient, the
Treasurer shall supply the deficiency out of any other available
moneys of the State in his custody; but in that case he shall as
soon as possible, out of the Bank Bond Payment Fund, return
the amount of such deficiency to the source whence taken.

its execution, and in the event of the restoring of such bank to
solvency and the reopening of it for business all depositors shall
be bound to abide by the terms thereof. Such reorganization
agreement shall name a committee of three, who may or may not
be depositors, to put such organization into effect. The committee so named shall thereupon present said reorganization plan to
the Court, with a written request, which need be in no particular
form, for permission to perfect such plan and open such bank,
and thereupon the Court shall fix a time and place at the earliest
date the business of the Court will permit, when such request
will be considered, except that it must permit of the giving of
ten days notice thereof to the receiver in charge. If it shall
appear to the Court upon such hearing that the committee named
in such agreement is prepared to put the plan into operation and
that it is in compliance with law, the application shall be granted, unless good reason to the contrary is shown by some objecting
party; and an order shall thereupon be made by the Court permitting such reorganization, the withdrawal of such bank from
the receivership, and the reopening thereof, when the state examiner and the secretary of the Guaranty Fund Commission
shall certify that they have examined its affairs and that it is in
condition to open and proceed with business as a solvent bank
within the banking and Guaranty Fund statutes, and directing
the receiver, upon presentation of Such certificates, to turn over
to the said bank, or account for all of the assets and effects
thepeof that have been taken possession of by him, deducting,
however, the proper expenses of administration during the time
the same has been in his charge, such expenses to be agreed upon
by the said committee and the receiver, or in case of disagreement to be fixed by the Court. But the failure of the parties
to so agree shall not delay the turning. over of the assets other
than those which the receiver claims to be entitled to by way of
compensation, and the matter of the correctness of such claim
shall be thereafter determined. Upon so delivering the assets
and effects the receiver shall take the receipt of the said bank
and the said committee jointly for the same and he shall thereupon be absolved from all future responsibility on account of
the affairs of said bank, and the same shall thereupon become a
going banking association, subject to all the rules of law and
regulations applicable to other banking associations.

CHAPTER 99

BANKS It BANKING

in this Act, or while proceedings are pending for taking charge
thereof under this Act, a plan for liquidation and articles of
agreement may be executed in writing by deposit creditors thereof representing eighty per cent of the amount of deposits of
such bank, exclusive of public money secured by indemnity bonds
or otherwise; and all other unsecured depositors shall be held
subject to such agreement and all of the terms thereof to the
same extent and effect as if they had joined in its execution.
Such agreement must provide for a liquidating committee of
three, who may or may not be depositors, to be elected by the
signers of such agreement, the same to be elected at a meeting
held in the town where such bank is located, upon reasonable
notice to each signer of the time and place of such election, and
the vote of the holders of two-thirds of the amount of deposits
represented in the aggregate by such signers shall be necessary
to the election of each Member of the liquidating committee. A
full record of such election must be made in writing and signed
by the chairman and secretary of the meeting, and the same
must be preserved and presented to the state examiner and the
Court in the proceedings hereinafter provided for.
Before the said plan and agreement are presented to the
depositors for signing, as aforesaid, the same must be submitted
to the state examiner, whose duty it shall be to act in an advisory capacity to the persons interested in the plan, and who
shall pass upon the feasability and practicability of the same, and
either approve or disapprove thereof, and if he disapproves the
plan, it shall be his duty to formulate and present in lieu thereof a plan and agreement that meet with his approval.
Upon the liquidating committee being elected as herein provided for, it shall present to the Court an application to have
the liquidation of the said bank withdrawn from the receivership
and vested in it, and the Court shall thereupon make an order
fixing a time and place for the hearing of such application,
which shall be at as early a date as is consistent with the transaction of the business of the Court, except that it shall be at
a date that will permit of the giving of at least ten days notice
thereof to the receiver, which notice must be given by the applicants. Upon the hearing the Court shall advise itself fully
in regard to the status of the existing receivership, the feasibility
of the proposed plan, and the competency of the liquidating
committee and its several members to act in the proposed capacity, and it shall have power to prescribe the terms and conditions
upon which the liquidation of the affairs of such bank will be
transferred from the receivership to such committee, and it may
permit the applicants, with the consent of the state examiner, to
modify or amend the said proposed plan. If no good reason is

made to appear why the application as originally made or
amended should not be granted, the Court must make its order
appointing the members of the said committee as joint receivers
of said bank in the place and stead of the existing receiver, prescribe the amount of the bond, if any, they should be required
to give upon qualifying as receivers, and the manner of their
reporting and accounting to the Court, and directing the existing
receiver to account to them and turn over all of the assets of the
receivership, first deducting the proper expenses and charges for
administration of the receivership up to such time, the amount
thereof to be agreed upon between the existing and the new
receivers, or in case of disagreement to be settled by the Court;
but the failure of the parties to so agree shall not delay the
transfer of the assets and effects to the new receivers, except such
thereof as are claimed by the old receiver as compensation, as
aforesaid, and the correctness of such claim shall be subsequently
determined by the Court.
Upon so accounting and surrendering the assets and effects
to the said new receivers, the existing receiver 6hall take their
receipt therefor, and he shall be thereupon discharged from all
liability and responsibility in connection with the further liquidation of such bank, and the said new receivers shall be deemed to
have assumed the same liability, responsibility and accountability
to the Court as other receivers.
§ 22. CONSTRUCTION OF ACT.] The provisions of this Act
with reference to the withdrawal of banks from the receivership
for the purpose of reorganization and opening, or for the purpose of liquidation, shall be deemed to be highly remedial in
character and they contemplate the most expeditious disposal of
such mitters that is practicable, and shall be liberally construed
to accomplish this purpose, and it shall be the duty of the Court
and all other public officers having any connection therewith to
give such matters preference over ordinary matters to the fullest
extent that can be done without undue interferenc with other
official and judicial business.
§ 23. CUSTODY OF RECORDS AND ASSETS AFTER TERMINATION
OF RECEIVERSHIP.] When the affairs of any closed bank shall be
wound up and the receiver discharged, all books, records, documents, and other property of such bank and any dividends unclaimed by the creditors of such bank shall be by such receiver

of such receivership.

Section 9 of Chapter 200, Session Laws of 1923, the same being section 5220b9 of
the supplement to the 1913 compiled laws of North Dakota, 1913-1925, relating
to the Depositors' Guaranty Fund Commission.
Section (:?. (S. 5220b9) Whenever the Commission shall acquire information leading
It to believe that any bank admitted under such fund is being irregularly or
inefficiently, or dishonestly conducted, or is insolvent, as that term is defined by
the Banking Laws, it shall be its duty to investigate the same as promptly as
possible as in Section
hereof provided; and at any time during the progress of
such investigation if it appears that such bank is probably insolvent, such commissioner or inspector shall have authority to make an order requiring all deposits
received during such examination to be set aside and held intact as "Special Deposits," which shall only be used to reimburse the depositor; and if at the close
of such examination the commissioner or inspector shall find such bank to be insolvent within the meaning of the Banking Laws, he shall have authority to extend
such order for such further period as shall be necessary to enable the Commission
to meet and take action with reference to the affairs of such bank; but such meeting
and action must be taken within thirty days from the time of extending such order.
Upon completing such examination, such commissioner or inspector shall immediately
prepare a report of the result thereof, and submit the same to the Commission and
the State Examiner.

•

If from such report it shall appear to the Commission that the bank is involvent
within the meaning of the Banking Laws, it shall have authority to immediately institut
a proceeding in the district court of the county in which such bank is located, (or
in any other court that may be by any law then in force, given .'urisdiction of such
proceeding) to liquidate such bank as an insolvent corporation, and procure the
appointment of a Receiver to wind up its affairs, as provided for by Article 3 of
Chapter 2( of the Code of Civil Procedure, and the general equitable jurisdiction of
courts of equity to appoint receivers and wind up the affairs of insolvent corporations; or if by any law then in existence the exclusive right to institute such
proceedings shall be vested in any particular officer or Board, the Commission shall
certify the facts to such officer or Board, as the case may be, who must thereupon
Institute such proceedings.

In lieu of instituting such proceedings, the Commission may, in its discretion,
permit such bank, within a time to be prescribed by it, to comply with such conditions as the Commission shall deem necessary to make it a solvent institution, but
as a condition of granting such time, such bank must, by a resolution of its
directors, endorsed on its minutes, consent to the continuing of the order aforesaid
limiting the right tc receive deposits, and to such continued supervision of its
affairs as the Commission shall prescribe. The granting of such time to said bank
to remedy its condition shall not abridge or limit the right of the Commission to
institute such court proceedings, at any time it shall appear to its satisfaction
that such bank is hopelessly insolvent, or unable to comply with the conditions
prescribed.
Provided, however, the pendency of any proceedings for the liquidation of any such
bank shall not be a bar to its reorganization or continuance as a banking institution,
but at any time before toe final disposition of such proceedings, such bank may make
application to the Guaranty Fund Commission for leave to reorganize or remedy its condition, and be readmitted under the Guaranty Fund, and the COmmission may thereupon pxaa
prescribe the conditions as to assets, payment of liabilities, and the character and
competency of the managing officers to be placed in charge of the affairs of such ban
upon which it may be readmitted to said Guaranty Fund, which condition shall be submitted to the Court having ,,urisdiction, and if it approves thereof, it may make an
order to that effect, and thereupon and upon such bank complying with the said condi

readmitting the said bank, and the liquidation proceedings shall be thereupon discontinued on such terms as the Court shall direct; but no deposits shall be received
by such reorganized bank until final approval of the Court is had, and the said
proceedings actually dismissed. All expenses incident to such proceedings incurred
by theCommission shall be presented matt to and audited by the State Auditing Board,

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

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

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

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

bLiKS AND BANKING - POWER OF GUARANTY FUND CO.LISSION.
1. The Guaranty Fund Act, chapter 126, Sess. Laws 1917, amended and reenacted
as chapter 200, Sess. Laws 1923, providing for the creation and administration of
the depositors' guaranty fund for the purpose of insuring the repayment of deposits made in banks chartered and from time to time inspected and examined by
state authority, reposes in the guaranty fund commission the power to pass upon and
finally allow or reject the claims of alleged depositors against the fund.
BANKS AND BANKING - DUE PROCESS OF LAW.
2. The Guaranty Fund Act empowering the guaranty fund commission to pass
upon and finally allow or reject claims of alleged depositors against the guaranty
fund is not subject to the objection that it is unconstitutional in that it deprives claimants against the fund of their property without due process of law,
vests judicial power in the commission, an administrative board, and denies to
claimants the right to their day in court.
TAANDAMUS - DOES NOT LIE AGAINST GUARANTY FUND COMMISSION.
3. The guaranty fund commission exercises legal discretion and judgment in
passing upon claims against the guaranty fund, and mandamus will not lie to control or direct the action of the comnission in passing upon the validity of such
claims.

NOTES ON StLRY REPORT BY L. h. BAIRD, RECEIVER , dated January 6, 1957
bvrrowed from Clerk oftte North Dakota Supreme Court and examined on
Sept. 9, 1056, by Clark Warburton
This typed rpport consists of 2 pages of intoduction and 8 pages of
It is addressed:
tabulations (1 line pr bank) - pages 16" by 17".
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.

Then follows a list of 11 banks, with notes, of which seven closed during the
period of operation of the guaranty fund. The names and notes regardiee these
are given below, with date of closin- inserted for identification on the
worksheets:
Farmers State Bank of Alamo (June ed6, 1924). 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

fifteen of these were only technically involved and henee are not included in

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 actual value of the remaining

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

were perhaps somewhat negligent in execution of their duties.
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/

Excerpt from ftport of "Twentieth Annual Convention North Dakota Bankers' -My
1922, p. 19-20.
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.

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,

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.

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.

'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.
WISCONSIN TELEPHONE EARNINGS
Madison, Wis.—The Wisconsin Telephone Company,

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

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.

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.

Basis and rate of (a) regular and (b) special assess
ments.—(a) One-twentieth of 1 per cent of the average
daily deposits annually until the fund reaches 2 per
cent of the average daily deposits, when the aese-ments shall cease until such time as the guaranty f(II,
is depleted below 13v per cent of the average dail
deposits, when the necessary assessment may be again
levied at one-twentieth of 1 per cent per ginum until
the fund again reaches 2 per cent of the Alltrage daily
deposits. (b) The commission is authorized to levy
additional assessments of one-twentieth of 1 per cent,
but not to exceed four such additional assessments
shall be made in any one year. r-Xe-W-Uanks admitted
to the system shall pay in an amount equal to 3 per
cent of their capital, and the assessments on such banks
shall be so adjusted that the first two assessments,
together with the 3 per cent payment, shall equal at
least one-half of 1 per cent of the average daily deposits
as shown by the first annual statement. National
banks that have reorganized as State banks shall set
apart and credit to the depositors' guaranty fund such
amount as will place them on an equal footing as
respects such fund with other State banks.
Method of payment of depositors.—The secretary of
the commission shall issue certificates of indebtedness
to the persons entitled thereto for the amount of all
accepted deposits. If there are not sufficient funds
in the guaranty fund to pay such certificates, such
certificates shall be payable out of such fund pro rata.
To the extent of the deposits accepted and allowed as
guaranteed the commission shall be subrogated to all
the rights of the guaranteed depositors to participate
in the assets of the bank and as such assets are collected they shall from time to time be distributed pro
rata among the holders of certificates issued to the
guaranteed depositors until full payment is made to
the holders of the certificates.

Sec. 9. Banks in bad condition—Examination and
taking charge by commission—Winding up of
affairs—Reorganization.
"Whenever the commission shall acquire information
leading it to believe that any bank admitted under
such fund is being irregularly or inefficiently, or dishonestly conducted, or is insolvent, as that term is
defined by the banking laws, it shall be its duty to
investigate the same as promptly as possible as in
section 8 hereof provided; and at any time during the
progress of such investigation if it appears that such
bank is probably insolvent, such commissioner or inspector shall have authority to make an order requiring
all deposits received during such examination to be set
aside and held intact as 'special deposits,' which shall
only be used to reimburse the depositor; and if at the
close of such examination the commissioner or inspector
shall find such bank to be insolvent within the meaning
of the banking laws, he shall have authority to extend
such order for such further period as shall be necessary
to enable the commission to meet and take action with
reference to the affairs of such bank; but such meeting
and action must be taken within 30 days from the time
of extending such order. Upon completing such examination such commissioner or inspector shall
immediately prepare a report of the result thereof, and
submit the same to the commission and the State
examiner.
"If from such report it shall appear to the commission that the bank is insolvent within the meaning of
the banking laws, it shall have authority to immediately
institute a proceeding in the district court of the county
in which such bank is located (or in any other court
that may be by any law then in force, given jurisdiction of such proceeding) to liquidate such bank as
an insolvent corporation, and procure the appointment
of a receiver to wind up its affairs, as provided for by
article 3 of chapter 27 of the Code of Civil Procedure,
and the general equitable jurisdiction of courts of
equity to appoint receivers and wind up the affairs of
insolvent corporations; or if by any law then in existence the exclusive right to institute such proceedings
shall be vested in any particular officer or board, the
commission shall certify the facts to such officer or
board, as the case may be, who must thereupon institute such proceedings.
"In lieu of instituting such proceedings, the commission may, in its discretion, permit such bank,
within a time to be prescribed by it, to comply with

granting of such time to said bank to

it shall appear to its satisfaction that such bank is

"Provided, however, The pendency of any proceedings
for the liquidat on of any such bank shall not be a
bar to its reorganization or continuance as a banking
institution, but at any time before the final disposition
of such proceedings, such bank may make application
to the guaranty fund commission for leave to reorganize
or remedy its condition, and be readmitted under the
guaranty fund, and the commission may thereupon
prescribe the conditions as to assets, payment of
liabilities, and the character and competency of the
managing officers to be placed in charge of the affairs
of such bank upon which it may be readmitted to said
guaranty fund, which condition shall be submitted to
the court having jurisdiction, and if it approves thereof,
it may make an order to that effect, and thereupon and
upon such bank complying with the said conditions to
the satisfaction of the guaranty fund commission, it
shall make an order readmitting the said bank, and the
liquidation proceedings shall be thereupon discontinued
on such terms as the court shall direct; but no deposits
shall be received by such reorganized bank until final
approval of the court is had, and the said proceedings
actually dismissed. All expenses incident to such proceedings incurred by the commission shall be presented
to and audited by the State auditing board and be
paid out of the general funds of the State and there is
hereby appropriated for the purpose of meeting such
expenses the sum of $1,000 per year, or so much thereof
as shall be necessary."
Sec. 10. Filing statements—Assessments.
"On June 30 of each year, every State bank engaged
in the business of banking in this State shall make and
file with the depositors' guaranty fund commission, a
statement in writing, verified by the oath of its president, vice president or cashier, showing the average
daily deposits in its bank for the preceding 12 months.
"Immediately after the date fixed for the making
and filing of such statements, the depositors' guaranty
fund commission shall levy assessments against the
assets of each of said banks as follows!

deposits as shown by the statement of such average

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Dear Er. 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.
Unless something worthwhile can be dicovered it
would not pay to have anyone from your office attempt
to compile statistics, but we will keep you informed in
the matter.

Dear Mr. Cramer:
Referring to your enquiry of June 19, 1956, and continuing
our reply ,of June 21, 1956, re the North Dakota Depositors
Guaranty l'und.
We have found a number of large volumes and also smaller
record ledgers of the operations of the North Dakota Depositors
Guaranty Fund, stored in the Capitol basement vault.
We also have files of correspondence pertaining to the Fund.
The Bureau of Business and Economic Research of the University
of horth Dakota at Urand Forks informs us that one chapter of a
thesis hy Dr. W.E. Koenker, of that Department, entitled "Banking
Trends in North Dakota 1922-1947", was devoted to the Depositors
Guaranty Fund. This work is now in the Library of Ohio 6tate
University, Columbus, Ohio. We presume it could he borrowed, but
doubt its value in your study.

•

We have been unable to trace any other studies, and it
would seem that the people of North Dakota were only too glad to
forget the whole thing.
Our "Closed 3anks" Department's records might also assist a
meMber of your staff, and we will be glad to provide facilities
if you decide to send a representative to Bismarck.
Unfortunately this Denartment does not have the personnel
to assist in your study beyond the presentation of whatever

with the question of records of insolvent banks
formerly in charge of the late L. R. Baird. All records
in this connection were turned over to the State Examiner
who continues to handle certain administrative details
in connection with insolvent banks. After receiving
your letter I called Mr. George H. Russ, Jr., the present

correspondence with you relative to the available records
and is making an effort to locate as many as he can.
You may be interested in knowing that I have in my
possession a report prepared by Mr. Baird in 1937, in
which he makes a complete report to the Supreme Court on
all banks coming under his supervision. I apprehend
that this would be very valuable to whoever you send
out to North Dakota to make an investip;ation and I shall
be glad to make the same available. Outside of this
report and copies of various petitions for administration
and minute orders of the Court referring the same to the

Dear Sir:
Soon after the beginning of Federal deposit insurance, we began
to collect information on the experience of various States with deposit
guaranty. 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.

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.
We are enclosing a stamped, addressed envelope and
sincerely hope you will find it convenient to let us have
the benefit of your opinion.

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

•
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

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,

Lortier J. 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.

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,.

Dear Judge Biruzell:
Your favor of December 6 came to hand last evening and
I hasten to send such information regarding the experience of North
Dakota with the Guaranty Fund as i have been ahle to secure from the
State Examiner's office.
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.

There

If the records do

are still questions about which we would like to
if it can be given without an undue amount of work.
not show the exact figures, your opinion of the apvould be useful.

First. The State Exa liner, in his letter of January 3,
reported the total amount of deposits in banks which failed during
the ti:se the gu4;renty Law was in operttion at 08,816,340. He reorted, also, that the total amount of certificate° issued and
approved by the fUnd equalled (23,029,191. There is thus a diMrence
of t15,787,149. Is it possible to tell how much of this difference
was composed of secured deposits, !ind how much of unsecured deposits
which were eliminated through offsets, compromise settlements, etc?
Second. What MOP the amount of payments on secured claims,
and the &count of parafnts (by offsets, etc.) an unsecured claims which
were eliainated and for which no certificates were issued?
Third. What is the present estimated recoverable value of
assets of these banks still in the hands of the receivers? We have un
est1-114,te that the recoverable value at the time the law became inoperative was from three to five million dollars. Presumably a Art of this
has been collected sinoe that data.
Wirer() anxious to obtain the fullest possible information
regarding the operation of state deposit gubranty plans, and are very
grateful to you for your coo?erstion.

Dear Mr. Nichols:
At the tiue of our recent conference in Washington,
you
requested that you be furnished Tith all information pertin
ent to the
Operation of the Guaranty Iltrids in the States of North
Dakota and South
Dakota. 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. Zhe oili4na1 Law provided that upon the dlosin of
a bank it wa.,ild
be the duty of the State 7xaminer to prepare an iterniz
ed list of all of the
liabilities of such bank and certify same to the Depositors
Garranty Pund
Commission for payment.
The 1917 Law was revised and rewritten at the lUZ Sessio
n
of the Le -iilsture and I ani sending you, hereAth a copy
of the 199 Conipilation of L,
Ies aelatilv to State Banks, Savincs Banks and Trust Coopani
es. On
pa,;e 90 of this Compilation you will find Chapter 31B of the Supplem
ent to
the 1913 Compiled Laws, which sets forth the entire Law relatin
g to the
Depositors Guaranty Fund, as revised at the 1923 Session.

...••••pif

Guaranty of Deposits Act was repealed by the Legislature
at its 1929 Session, the repeal measure being Chapter 122 of the 1929 Session
Laws, Which became effective July let of that year. 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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. So, there you are:

regards, I am

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.
The causes specified on these schedules are classified as nearly as
possible in accordance with the four categories mentioned above.

The amount of such liability hvi not been determined

at the date of this audit, and to determine this liability
would have apparently entailed a special analyIls of the

not contemplated as boinr ,%.ithin the pcope of this audit.

This amount does

not ieclude some :;200.(Y)0.00 due the Fund from Closed Banks.
221E11E1_2f State Laws:
A,ference has been made herein that tile .74tte
Treay4urer has not lualified as Treasurer of the Commission
and ft ir rA*rited to explain this situation,
The Guaranty Fund Law appearn to require that all
of its moneys be deposited in the 3tate Banks, while all laws
rernlatinv the state Treasurer's deposits require that he
deporzit funds in his control in The Bank of Lorth Dakota.
Therefore, rather than disobey both laws he does not qualify
as Treasurer of the Oommission, and complies with the laws
regulatory of the office of '.)tate Treasurer.
Certificate:
In our opinion the Depositors Guaranty Fund has
been pronerly accounted for on its records and that all dipbursftments are consistent and in order and properly authorized

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

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

us
every courtesy and assistance in the progress of our
examination for which I wish to acknouledgt my apprec

SPECI,L DEPOSITS WITH CLOSED B-1aS 04319.30 Dr.
prior to perioa covered by this audit the
Commission made special deposits from Depositors
Guaranty Funds with banks that were pressed for
sash. This practice has been discontinued and
no such special deposits made during this audit
period.
Banks that have not returned such deposits
have closed. On page 28 we list the balances due
and unpaid from each such bank. Some of these
deposits are secured by collateral which is out
for collection. A large part of this collateral
is considered of questionable value and was not
examined by us. A list of special deposits due
from closed banks as carried on the books of the
Department was submitted to the Receiver of
Closed Banks and his records were found to agree
with the Commission accounts. This class of
deposits is considered as preferred credits and
first lien on the assets of the closed
institutions. It is estimated the Guaranty Fund
may sustain some loss on part of these deposits.

Gentlemen:
As per agreement I have made an audit of the
books, records end voaohers of the Depositors' laarunty
Yard t;ommission of the state of North Lt4cota for the
periJd beginning Deoember 1, 1928, the close of my
previous audit, to govember 50, 1930, Lnd I hereby
certify, that in my opinion, the following *tat awn te
b.nd sobeiules reflect the operations for the period
uki the true financial condition of the fund aa the
same appoLred t cl)se of business November 30, 1930.
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.

The law has been oomplied with as near as

Due to the mny elements entering into the
comcletion of the deoeitors claims aguinst the guurzty
rand, it is impossible to determims the asourute liability
of the C4ortInty ?rind to derositore of bknks thht byre *Iowa

wind up the affairs of the b#,nt, end mate the final
distribution of the reoeivership. ;.11 derositors claims

determine whether or not they come 'ander the ,:ot..he

of all deposits in bualcs olosed to date are aulim on the
Depositor's guaranty f4nd, it woald he safe to say that it
will require over ninety yours to pay ofi this liability
