Of course, the state has to impose a tax on the banks in order to create a fund out of which to pay. "Did this law make banking safe? No; it had just the opposite effect. It actually drew into banking many who were not trained bankers. They com- peted with old line, safe-and-sound bankers on a ruinous basis. The state stood behind them all, good and alike. The result was that the whole institution became chaotic, and fail- ures were more numerous than ever.

And no- body else will do it for us. In one of these Indiana towns there use to be a no-account fellow who had a delusion that he could bring about prohibition by drinking all the liquor.
