Boyi. of the Third district of Nebras" ill leave a week from next Tuf ovember 26, for Washington to iis first term as representative national legis lature. With him he will take to Washington a bill that he has already framed providing i for a -government guarantee to depositors in national banks. Insuring all national bank depositors that, no matter what bap-pens, their deposits will, be safe. The biH a drafted contemplates that when a national- bank falls the gOTM-rnment, shall appoint a receiver as now and the depositors will immediately thereafter, or within ninety days, file claims with the treasury department as to the 'amount of deposit.

This claim approved by the receiver, will be paid ltf full by- the government so that the' depositor in a very shot time will realize 100 per cent of his deposits. Tbe treasury department, to reimburse Itself for this loss, would then, under the provisions of the bill, levy an assessment against the deposits of all national Under the business transacted during the year preceding September 80, this levy upon-; 'solvent national banks would have, amounted to one-fortieth of per cent of deposits. In this way each bank would practically- be protected by mutual bank insurance, with the government handling the matter. Congressman Boyd thinks such a plan would.
