Insuring Depositor..

From the Springfield Republican
The Bryan plan Of insuring bank de-
positors is likely to prove more popular
IN Pittsburg than in some other places
Something like SIo,0eo0e7 mas been lost
By the banks there within a year OF two
BY the peculations Of officers and en-
plOyes. and popular confidence in the
banks has been so impaired that bankers
themselves are considering the advisa-
blity Of having an Insurance scheme
adopted. One plan which is being drawn
I'D for introduction al the next session
OF Congress provides for an assessment
On the dividends 20 stockholders Of na-
tional banks to create a fund IN the
United States treasury from which de-
positors Ia failed national banks would
be able to have their claims satisfied
IN full.
