Several bills providing for the es-
tablishment in this country of the pos
tai savings bank system are under con-
sideration by congress. or these TWO
are most prominent. One was intro
duced by Senator Mitchell. of Oregon
and provides that postmasters shaii
keep on sale postal savings stamps OF
5 and 10 cents and 81. and postal saw
ings cards upon which such stamps,
when sold. shall be affixed. When
these cards are filed with stamps any
postmaster is authorized to accept them
in exchange for certificates of deposit
bearing interest at the rate of 1925 per
cent per year. The postmaster gen.
eral Is also authorized to designate GER
tain postoffices to receive deposits in
sums not less than 81 and not more
than 500. which shall bear interest at
the rate of 3 per cent in a similar man
ner. The other bill, which was drafted
by Representative Brewers of Califor-
mia. limits deposits to S., with $500 as a
maximum, and provides that no inter-
est shall be paid to any depositor upon
sums exceeding $1,000. Until deposits
reach the sum of $50 they are to be kept
in pass books, but then. at the option Of
the deposition, the postmaster may issue
a twenty year per. cent. bond for the
sum of $50 or any multiple thereof.
1t would seem to be possible, by jul
dicious combination of these two meas
ures. to retain the merits of both with
out the weaknesses Of either. 1t ought to
be practicable. we should think, to give
a uniform rate of per cent. interest
on all sums, great or small. which might
be offered at any designated postoff1ce
for deposit. II not that. the interest on
small deposits should be made
sufficiently high to supply an
incentive for children and work
mgmen to save their pennies
and invest them with Uncle Sam. Ii
Is not likely that many large deposits
would be- made. Those who have money
in $1,000 or $1,000 lump sums to deposit
for small interest will prefer to make
terms with national and state banks.
nearly all of which Offer per cent. and
some OF which pay per cent. on de-
posts of this character. The one merit
Of the postal savings bank system
which commends it as theory to pub
lie favor is that it offers an inducement
TO the young in small communities 70

placed as high as can be done without
imposing burden upon the tax-paying
elder folk.

Well Intended, but Unwise.

Representative Loud is the father of
bill (H. r. 1860 which, although good
in intention, is calculated, in effect, to
work much hardship ard Injustice to
interests which deserve considerate
treatment by congress. His measure
provides for the removal of certain
forms Of printed matter from the regu-
lar second class of mailable matter. for
which the postage rate is one cent a
pound, to special classification, on
which the rate shall be one cent for
each four ounces or fraction thereof.
The forms of printed matter involved
are: All sample copies Of newspapers
and periodicals.; all books or reprints of
books, whether sold by subscription or
otherwise, or whether they have been
issued as premiums or supplements or
form parts of regular newspapers or
periodicals; all unsold copies of news
papers and periodicals, commonly
termed returns" and now customarily
sent back by many dealers to publish
ers through the mail, and all extra
numbers OF regular publications sent

The intent of this bill is to cause
publishers of trashy libraries" and
similar bad literature which only os-
tensibly have subscription lists, to pay
higher rate of postage than they now
pay, thus increasing the postal reve-
nues at a point where there has always
been q deficiency between cost of trans
mission and postal receipts. The effect
of the bill is to place burden indis-

could be further from the truth. This

moment of disbursement.

based upon the supposition that the
city's Indebtedness will continue at its
present figure plus the contempla ted
new bond issue. But 1t will not. The
old Indebtedness will gradually be paid
off. And as this occurs. the tax rate
will fall in corresponding ratio, until
the viaduct will have been paid for
without the taxpayers having been con-
scious of its cost.
