At any rate, Governor White, in a state­ ment given out last week, stated his ^ belief that it would be futile to have the legislature meet previous to the coming election to consider matters o f finance and taxation. He therefore announced that a sepcial session will not be held until Nov. 19, the date to which he adjourned the legislature in June.

Pickering, 'While driving heme from Springfield Sun­ day night, were crowded oft the road near the I. O. O. F, farm. The ap­ proaching machine hit the left front A situation is developing in connection with the liquidation of the Exchange Bank, and one or two steps already taken that are not only to. the disadvantage of the depositors but will in the end probably prove that favoritism has been granted some by the department heads in Columbus in unfairness to other stockholders and debtors. ' f , Until recently the Herald has taken little notice o f Methods used by those in authority in connection with the liquidation of the . bank. We realize such a task on the part of local representatives, as well as the state department, is anything hut pleasant Rt times. We are also aware that the department can ofttimes be misled by not having all the facts and that it is hard to get a true picture of the situation when sitting behind a desk in Columbus. A If we understand the object of the liquidation law the depart­ ment is supposed to; approve only such acts as will be to the best interest of all the depositors. At this point we want flrst to com­ pliment the local representative, Harold Fawcett, and his iiupenor, Don C. Lusk, head o f this district for their efforts in behalf o f the depositors. Both have been honest in their endeavors, courteous with those whom they mupt deal, and above all have so far as we eftn find been jipparjtial, playing no favorites.. In complimahUng tlw»-a»w^ until we know more we must give the same credit to I. J. Fulton, Superintendent o f Banks. We regret that we cannot pay the same compliment to D. J. Schurr, Special Deputy Superintendent of Banks, Mr. Schurr being the superior officer over both Messrs. Lusk and Fawcett, who evidently has taken the settlement of certain claims on himself, without consideration o f either o f the the local representatives, and having limited regard for the best interest of the depositors. There is now a proposition o f a special compromise between Mr. Schurr and Robert Elder, former president of the Exchange Bank. A number of depositors were asked to give their approval and all declined but two who. signed and they have since withdrawn their approval. In addition we are informed that .a third compromise is soon to be offered. One feature of a compromise that has become public carried n provision wherein a $1,000 personal debt o f the debtor to the bank was to be used to pay a private debt. It should (never have been permitted in the settlement as that sum should have gone to the bank for the benefit of the depositors. The second compro­ mise in question carries a like provision where in $1,200 of funds that should go to the bank will go to two individuals as payment of a personal debt if the compromise atands. If the liquidating department in Columbus is to conduct the affairs over tne heads of the local representatives, much expense could be saved to the'benefit of the depositors by placing all matters directly in the hands of Mr. Schurr. We have a letter from Mr. Fulton which conveys information he received from a subordinate, claiming that both compromises in question had been approved in court and by a depositors’ committee. The facts, as we have since informed Mr. Fulton, are that one case has not been offered in court and there has never at any time been a depositors’ committee. We offer these statements as taken from a letter for the benefit of the depositors, If the manner of compromise is to continue there is Indication that if you cannot get Mr. Schurr’s ear you must pay in full. Our objection to the method is that all are not being treated fairly, debtors, and especially depositors. * We are taking the responsibility of making a recommenda­ tion to all these indebted to the bank, leaving each to act on his own best judgment. By withholding all payments on .notes until after January 1, 1935, you can rest assured there will likely be new names and new faces in the liquidating department at headquarters, when favoritism will not fall to the lot of a few and the last pound of flesh extracted from those who have no influence or puli to escape payment of their obligations to the bank. We are certain patrons of the bank enh ask nothing more than fair dealing and the com­ munity will not endorse any other procedure.
