Which of the following Depression-era policies was not enacted by Governor William Murray? Answer: "Murray seized Oklahoma banks in order to freeze fund withdrawals."

The following Depression-era policies that were enacted by Governor William Murray were "Murray ordered a temporary halt to farm foreclosures," "Murray established a quota for the amount of oil each well could produce," and "Murray limited oil production in an attempt to raise oil prices."

Governor Murray was in office from 1931 to 1934 and had to make difficult decisions in order to boost the economy of the state of Oklahoma. Murray found a state heavily hit by the Great Depression that had started on October 29, 1929, after the US stock market crash that made millions of Americans lose their jobs, companies closed and many banks went into bankruptcy.

That is why governor Murray had to make those actions regarding agriculture and the production of oil.
