Senator William f. Mason and
Congressman William Lorimer will
introduce The Chicago Records pos
tai saving bank bill in the senate and
the house of representatives, respec-
lively. Senator Mason is member
of the committee on postofiice and
postroads, while Congressman Lor-
inner is a member of the same COM
mittee of the house of representa-
ives 1t is the intention of these
members of congress to introduce
the bill at the earliest possible op-
portunity and, as Senator Mason
says, to have posal savings bank
law on the statutes before the end Of
the session
Both Senator Mason and Ma Lor-
inner are believers III the postal banks
as are the majority of the lllinoislde-
legation. Postal savings banks are
being discussed widely by the mem
bers of congress, and it is expected
that there will be several measures
introduced in both the house and
senate. The western members es-
pecially are supporting the idea, and
while some of the eastern men are
opposing it, the measure has many
friends in that section. One hears
almost as much talk about the
postal savings bank legislation in the
corridors of the hotels and in the
places where members congregate
as he does about the currency, Cuba,
Hawaii and civil reform. Chicago

that the matter is appreciated. Ex-
ceptions will occur of course, but the
large majority of those who will be
excluded from the polls for this lack
can we'll be spared.

The Indians have watched the ac-
