There are about $4,000 banks in
the United States. Of which about
s 900 are national banks. As bank
ing "a a function of government,
these banks should be regulated
alike In the interest OF the people.
and congress should enact a Law

TO guarantee To- depoaltors every
dollar they deposit In each one ~
the $4,000 banks. and when a fail.

OF these 30 900 banks the share that

not cost the government one penny.
and no fixed guarantee fund would
be necessary; and no deposltor

The loss OF 100000 IN aex one
bank would be more than met by an
assessment of 81 on each bank. and
an assessment OF $50 on each bank
would produce on indemnity fund Of
nearly 100000. which would
probably last for q number OF years
The total losses in national banks

years is stated to be ~ per cent.
