December 26th, 1931. IN REPLY PLEASE REFER TO NO. Mr. George B. Pryde city Dear Sir, I inclose you a letter t h at I have written lvlr. w. A. Muir. This may seem a small t hing , but the reason taxe s are so high is because we have not watch ed s mall t hi ng s, whi ch through the years have developed into large t h ing s. The conting ent exp enses of County orf icers and St a te Ori icers have soared since 1912. We are paying monthly salar i es to Consta ble s, who have never done one lick of work in consia er a tion of th eir s al ari es. The Coroner's office is a needless expense, and t h e work couj_d be a s TTell and better performed by J~stices of t he Peac e . If the custom should be t hat County and Prosecuting Attorneys can be pai d. out of public i"unds, i'or making inve stigations, in compensation cases, they woulQ be taking t heir s easonable vacations f rom t he Atlanti c to t h e Pa ci f ic, inspir ed e§=:::::;:::s,e, in the hope to establish meritorious claims tor- compensation, Hth e curtailment of public expens e s sh ould. not be consia eredt1 • But little consideration is now exercised because the expens es oi· investigations are saddled onto the employer, and what public oi'i'icer cares as long as a coal company or an oil company is chargeable with the expenses? In a recent case, the County and Prosecuting Attorney of this county brought an osteopath to Green Riv er, and he was allowed expert witness fees oi· $10.00 a day, ana. his mileage. This was done while I was away in Denver, but it seems to make no dii"f erence to . public oi'i"icials what the expenses are as long as they are chargeable to private enterprise. The dii'ficulty is not 1·undamentally that public officers do _not care. I am not charging that. But, the public o1Ticer is generally nothing more than a man· in the street, and he cioes not recognize or know t.he awful struggle that the business man has to make in order to meet his payroll, and to keep the wheels of industry turning. 'l'ne man in the street, who is out 01· a job, sympathizes with himself,. but put him to v,ork tomorrow, he would not speed up his own motions, or his own activity a hair's breadth because in so doing, he could help his employer. It is but the old classic saying that: "The hog never looks up to him who thrashes down the acorns 11 • Yours i'ST :ga �_--,--. ---==== i)_~: r:4-:._:~, t:jr·.~, i ..:J ;_:;;~2;.\,f;l.~;;L"t. ::;,;· .: vC•~:~~ c..;-_;-:- :·--;:.~·l.i: ;:l:'~...... t~,(~ .~ .!-1C.t:.:( .::,~'ii ._\ ~ - ~'., .; : : . •-~ -~-' -d""' - ·"" - ~ ... ..;. ,:-l -r • :i. ~ :!.. .. , ~-"!"~ 1 - ~ i ~ .;. ·yi;; .10 t·' r.:.rie:1 c; ~~ 'Y -~ -~ ~~· . ~- t= ~~ ~ ~~~2t ~~ •, c ..: i. :. :- : .:.,, wrong ft:., t ~<-~ • .. ..... -..;... ..~ \.J ,:...:'..

William Redshav,, Superintendent Megeath Coal Company Rock Springs, Vlyomi~ig Dear Sir, The above is a case that needs solilu e.xplw.1.atio11,o anu I think it might be well that· our Omaha oi'ficials should be made f amiliar with the facts. '!he ,'. Ol'kman v,2.s unu.oubi:;-e Uy_ ::,uf':fering from lumbago and arthritis, which caused pa1.n in his back. Ile Vient to Doctor Arbogast on -the 4th of F~bruary, 19~.;1 i'o1• treatruent., but said nothing to Doctor Arbogast about being injured in the llline. On the 15th or 16th of Feb:euary, Arbogast discharged him a s convalesce:nt. This was done at the 1"'equ0st of the workman, thG ·;,orl~,a.u claiming tho.t he desired to go to t'Joi-1-i: in an automobile repair shop . The portion of the mine shere Jche workman was employed was sllut dow.ci oz., the Gth of Ft';bl'Uary, 1931., and the tmrkman informed that there was no further viork 1n the mine for him at present. • Still suffering from arthritis, the y-;or1crnan went to an ostdopath (E. :a. Sturges), who cla:.i.m~ci an injury· to his hip below the point that Doctor Al•bogast found affected vrlth lumbago. The osteopath appears to hu.ve burnE:Jd hilil severely v,i th an electric appliance, and to have gotten from him,. •as fees, .ull of his money. It seems that he then went to the Veterans' Hospital at Denver (fitzsimons), huving been s0nt there by the American Legion, he bei11g a11 ex-soldier , Upon his 'd ischar·ge from Fi tzoimons, he became a patient of Doctors Lauze1~ and Sanders oi' Rock Springs. I do not no\'l recall i',heth\C,1· Doctor LauzBr hatl seen him before h~ ,wnt to F'i tzsimons Hospital, or not, but it is iilll!laterial. Doctor Lauzer :reported that he had his back .fractured at or about th8 twe_lfth dorstl verteb:r:3, and took i:;everaJ. X-ray pictures of the wol"kman. The osteopath, Sturges, claimed he uad some injury to his thigh, or his spine, below the place of fracture, as reported by Doctor Lauzar. The result VIas that Doctor Arbogast had X-ray nict.u:res tru~en at the Uyoming General Hospital at Rock Sprir-4gs, and coulu discover no injury or fracture whatsoever. �During this time., t~1e 1;orkman had talked to one Dan Pallie., uho undertakes to make investigations for the mine workers, and to advise them in their compensation claims, mid Pallie told the workman that he had a crac~ed bone in his back,9 which it appears caused the ir10rkman to consult Doctor Lauzero The dispute b0tv1e1;m Doctor .Arbogast,9 who could find no injury, and the os-teop~th., \,ho found a hip brokan., and Docto:r Lauzer., who found n spine fr~otu r e, and some chips of spine bones ·flonting e..round in the workman's nnatoray, created a contro~rersy, tjhich caused Mr<? W. A. Muir, the -County ~.nd Prosecuting .Att orney, without notice, or consult~tion YJi th tha company, or Vii th tho writ o:r, to bri~ a sul t f m.~ the workman in -the District Court, a:..u. to have a partial hearing when the writer v1~s out of the State. At that hearing held on October 15th., 1931," Doctor Lauzer stateo. that th e :i.ujury to the workman t'Ya s equivalent to one half of permanont totcl disability, r.:hich r;ould involve some (~2500. 00 in an ffVJF.:1?d. In or•dt:1· i.,o :S."~co:ncilE: this dispute between the doctors, I paid the expen$eS _of the uorkmnn going to Salt Leke City, where he was excmined b y five doctors, ~d ne~ X-ray pictures teken, all of which shor1ed :no f!'a,cture, no injury, c'.nci. the c:octor s who mrnmined him all J/1:I report that there ~as, and is no injury, as claimed by Doctor Lauzer, . 1 I i and the osteopath, Stu:rges. i i1.nother he,; tr.i.h g ·;:;J,':").S had before Judge Tidba ll on the 9tp. of November, ana it ~~pGa~s from the attitude of the County Attorney, and his ad.visers, v:ihich .include Doctor L2.uzer, th2.t ~- dep~rtur-e is to be made froti their former position, and that now they are going to claim that the r-.rthritis r:cs nfired u;:n and broueht ou in its sflvei--ity, by the v.-orlcrna.n straining his back on the 3rd of February, 1931, i:1hile rolling D rock out of' the \"!u.Y in the :."'oom in \1hich he was working in the mine. There aro many reason why this case must bJcontested to its very limit; among the chief' res.sons is thct s. p1·ecedent lt.1ill be set if the employer lays down., introduci11g into our com;::-~nsation system z-esponsibili ty on our pert for "diseczes", ,,;hich may be ag[;l'avated or ."fired up", as the doctors call it, beccuse of some pretended mu$cula:r- strain. You v1ill appreciate how far this riou1d go if the 1.·,orlcmrm, in dull times, such a~ rre are now having, should be alloF.ed to claim that every ill that the body has is the result of some :ln~ury. This also \1ould make a !air field for osteopaths, and chiropractors,. and other GUack peddlers, to oper~te in. I received this morning ~n ordar from the Judge of the District Court, requiring tbe surgeons of tho Fitzsimons Hos,itnl to stcte in a deposi t1on whe.t they found to be the matter with the ·workman, atter which I will talce the depositions of the five doctors 1n· Salt Lake c:tty, goin~ both to Denver and to Salt Lal-:::e City for this purpose. �It is true the ~itness fees for these doctors, and the expenses of tc;Jdng these dcpositi.on s , together vdth expenses already paid by me, ~111 ~mount to several hundred dollars, but it · is one of these cases that must ·be cl0r-..n0d up, or un.les8 it is cleaned up, will grow into a real caucer, for vihich the:-ce will probably be no healing. That this case should be defended to its full conclusion, is to themt€rest of every employ0r of labor in the State of Tiyoming. The 'ti1·iter f0cls t11~t t he si tuation should be mD:cle kr.ow11 to our Oma...'1.a o_f ficitil. s as tho fa.ctn :.ctnally cxi s·t.

Coady, manager, has filed an appeal in the district court at Green River in an effort to set aside the order of award on the grounds that ''The Rock Springs Electric company is no longer in existence and, of course, has no interest in the Workmen's Compensation Fund when .

A rod holding the sign broke, causing Johnston to fall to the sidewalk breaking his right leg above the ankle. Compensation had been paid the workman for temporary total dis- I ability up to Sept. 10, 1931. Later I his ankle became stiff as the re- 1 suit of the injury, causing a per- ' manent disability. ' While there was no dispute on the part of the company as to • Johnston's claim for compensation, it was necessary for the court to determine whether he was now entitled to compensation under the law, which does not provide directly for such cases. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In the following pages these questions have been answered in the light of the law under which the insurance is afforded. It is hoped that this pamphlet will give depositors, in particular, and the general public as well, a clearer idea of what deposit insurance is doing for them. In actual results the plan has been eminently satisfactory. For example, insured deposits of four banks which have been closed since the Corporation went into operation were being paid on August I. It was estimated that 99 percent of their depositors would be paid in full. The depositors of closed insured banks are assured of immediate payment. In the four suspensions cited above the Corporation has begun paying depositors within ten days of the appointment of a receiver. Page2 �THE CORPORATION 1. Q What is the FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION and how was it established? A. It is a Corporation created for the purpose of insuring bank deposits. It was established by an act of Congress approved June 16, 1933. 2. Q Who controls the Corporation? A. A board of directors of three members. Two are appointed by the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The other member is the Comptroller of the Currency, who serves ex officio. Not more than two directors can be from the same political party. 3. Q. Where are the offices of the Insurance Corporation? A. The main office is in Washington, D.C., and there are 15 district offices situated in various sections of the country. (A list of these district offices, with the territories they serve, is to be found on p. 10.) THE INSURANCE 4. Q. What is deposit insurance? A. The protection of depositors against loss of • their deposits in the event of bank failure. At the present time the maximum amount insured for each depositor is $5,000. 5. Q. When did the FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION begin insuring deposits? A. January 1, 1934. THE FUND 6. Q. What is the Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance Fund? A. A fund created by payments from insured banks. Page3 �~ 7. Q. How long will the temporary phase of deposit insurance continue? A. By act of Congress itis to continueuntilJuly 1, 193 5, when it will be replaced by the permanent plan. 8. Q . Is the FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION a permanent organization? A. Yes. g. Q. What is the source of the moneys of the Insurance Corporation? A. They come from three sources: A subscription from the Treasury of the United States of $150,ooo,ooo, a subscription from the Federal Reserve banks of about $140,000,000, and payments by insured banks. 10. Q. How large is the Fund and how are its moneys invested? A. At the present time it amounts to $320,000,000 and is being held in cash or invested in United States Government securities. The Corporation may also issue its bonds to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to the amount of another $250,000,000, although this has not been done as yet. ELIGIBLE BANKS I I. Q. Do all banks have deposit insurance? A. All banks which are members of the Federal Reserve System (which includes all national banks in the United States and some State banks) were required by law to join the Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance Fund. State banks not members of the Federal Reserve System were free to apply for insurance or not as they chose. The great majority of them are now insured. Q. How are insured banks to be distinguished? A. After October 1, 1934, insured banks will 12. carry the insignia of the F.D.l.C. at their receiving windows. (A reproduction ofit is to be found on p. I 1.) Further, they ha.,ve been supplied with a certificate of membership which they will be glad to show you. Page4 �' I 3. Q. How many banks are members ef the fund? A. On August 1, 1934, there were 14,054 of the nation's banks in the fund. Of these, 963 were State member banks of the Federal Reserve System, 5,438 were national banks, and 7,653 were State nonmember banks. 14. Q. Can mutual savings banks become insured by the Corporation? A. Yes. The benefits of deposit insurance are available to mutual savings banks. 15. Q. Can savings banks become members ef the Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance Fund? A. Yes; together with all banks doing a deposit business they are free to apply for insurance. 16. Q. Among insured banks, wlzy has interest on demand deposits been prohibited and a maximum interest rate set for time and savings deposits? A. Under the Banking Act of 1933, banks which are members of the Federal Reserve System are prohibited from paying any interest on demand deposits and it is made the duty of the Federal Reserve Board to adopt regulations prescribing the maximum rates of interest to be paid on time and savings deposits. To carry out this policy and in the interest of sound banking the Federal Reserve Board set the maximum rate of interest at 3 percent on time and savings deposits. The member banks to which this regulations applied were required to insure their deposits. Other banks were permitted to insure their deposits upon voluntary application. Congress declared that all banks should enjoy equally the benefits of insurance. In order to secure such equal enjoyment it was necessary for the FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION, by regulation, to prevent the banks which were not members of the Federal Reserve System from paying any interest on demand deposits and from paying a higher rate of interest on time and savings deposits than could be paid under the lawful regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. An important Page5 �~ attribute of sound banking has thus been extended to all insured banks. CLOSED BANKS 17. Q. Wizen a bank is closed through inability to pay its depositors, does the Insurance Corporation make the insured portion of deposits immediate?J available? A. Yes. Just as soon as a receiver or liquidator has been put in charge the Insurance Corporation proceeds to make the insured deposits available to the depositors. 18. Q. What is the method for making available to the depositors the insured amount of their deposits? A. A new national bank is immediately set up by the F.D.I.C. to pay the insured deposits of the closed bank. 19. Q. Does the new national bank set up by the F.D.1.C. pay interest on the insured accounts of the closed institution? A. No. Interest is not paid on the insured accounts of closed institutions. 20. Q. What happens to a closed bank after tlze Corporation has taken over the insured deposit liability? A. A closed bank is placed in liquidation. If it be a national bank the Comptroller of the Currency appoints the Corporation as receiver. If it be a State bank the Corporation may or may not be appointed receiver, depending upon whether the State law authorizes such appointment and upon the discretion of the appointing power. To facilitate liquidation the Corporation may purch~e the assets of the closed bank if it be a member of the Federal Reserve System. 2 1. Q. Does the Corporation pay the insured deposits regardless of the reason for failure of a closed bank? A. Yes. The purpose of deposit insurance is to prevent loss to depositors and hence the reason for failure does not influence the Corporation's liability. Page6 ! �DEPOSITS INSURED 22. Q. What is meant by the phrase "owner of a claim arising out of a deposit liability" of a closed bank? A. Any person holding evidence of a bank's deposit obligation to him or evidence of some debt arising from the bank's deposit obligations is considered the owner of a claim against the deposit liabilities of a closed bank. 23. Q. Are any deposits preferred under the scheme of deposit insurance? A. No. All share equally in the benefits of deposit insurance. 24. Q. Do all types of deposits have the benefits of insurance? A. Yes. All types of personal and corporate deposit obligations, deposits of public funds, and deposits of other banks in insured banks are included in the plan. Trust funds awaiting investment are also included in this insurance. 25. Q. Must' a depositor have $5,000 in his account before he can enjoy insurance benefits? A. No. Five thousand dollars is the insured limit for one depositor and all amounts up to and including that are fully insured. Accounts larger than that are insured up to $5,000. This does not mean that a depositor with an account of $100 will be paid $5,000 in the event his bank closes, but it does mean that he will get all of his $100. 26. Q. What proof of his claim is it necessary for a depositor in a closed bank to present in order to bepaid his insured deposit? A. His pass book, certificates, or other evidence of the closed bank's deposit debt to him and some means of personal identification are sufficient proof of the depositor's claim. 2 7. Q. If a depositor has billsfalling due and his bank is closed, can he check against the insuredportion ofhis account? A. No. The closed bank will be in the hands of the receiver. However, the new bank of the Page 7 �<:> Insurance Corporation will make immediately available the insured amount due him so that he will not be greatly inconvenienced. 28. Q. How does the Corporation pay the iT1Sured deposits? A. As the claims of depositors are approved and allowed, orders are issued which may be paid at once or through the Federal Reserve bank of the Reserve district where the closed bank is situated. 29. Q. May the depositor get the insured portion of his account in cash? A. Yes. The depositor may be paid in cash if he so desires. 30. Q. If a bank customer has unused traveler's checks in his possession at the time the issuing bank suspends, will they be accepted as claims against the insured deposit liabiliry of the bank? A. If the traveler's checks issued by the closed bank are the outgrowth of the holder's deposits they are acceptable to the limit of the insurance. 3 r. Q. If the books of a bank show that a husband and wife each have an account in each of their names and, in addition, have a jointly owned account, does each of these accounts come under the benefits of the insurance and are they considered separately in determining the amount due under the insurance limit? A. Yes; if the accounts are in fact owned as shown on the bank records. In the case of the jointly owned account, however, the right of survivorship must have been provided. 32. Q. If an estate of $20,000 is being held in a closed bank and there are four heirs to share equally in it, is the account thus fully insured? A. If the title of the · account states the names of the four heirs and specifies that they are to share equally, the account is separately owned in four equal undivided parts and the individual owners are fully protected. If the title is not so held the account is considered as a unit and the amount payable by the Insurance Corporation is limited to the maximum of $5,000. PageB �---~ . Q. Wo~ld it be po~sible to take four equal negotiable certificates of deposit for an account of $20,000 33 and thus procure full insurance? A. No. This would cause their holder to be an owner in the same right and in the same capacity and, hence, his insurance claim would be limited to $5,000. If after taking them out the original owner subsequently transferred them to four separate persons in the usual course of business, each of those holders would, however, have an insured claim.
