Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1907-11-15

In an interview in Chicago on
Postmaster General Meyers postal
savings bank proposition, Mr..
Forgan. President of the First
National Bank gave the following
views.
My one great objection would
be to having the Cover nment
boarding the money from these
postal savings bank, as it does in
other financial holdings. until
some great money panic in Wall
street came on. Then, after a
hurried conference, the United
States Treasurer leaves Washing
600 ona midnight train for New
York, and next day relieves the
financial condition b. dumping
the governments savings on the
market. This has been done so
often that it is becoming quite
tiresome. "
