British and American Wage Savers

In the Arena for January, j. HENNGKER
HEAToN. NJ. p, presents an interesting
review of the British system of postal
savings banks His article also fur
nishes an opportunity for a comparison
of savings in this country with those of
the English, although such comparison
is not altogether adequate. American
wage and salary earners are investors
as well as depositors 1t is doubtful if
that practice exists in England on any
such scale az here The item of de-
posted savings only is capable Of fair
comparison.
In Great Britain 0,403, So depositors
have the sum of $73O,OOOoO0 in the
1882 post Office savings banks Of the
kingdom. In addition to this there
are deposits of s22o,O0O,OOO in the old
time savings banks. The total savings,
therefore, approximate $3.50, 100000. The
number of depositors in the old-time
banks is not given
The population of the United States is
Kingdom. The savings of the American
people, as shown in savings banks alone
for 1908, the same year ms that quoted
by Mr.. HEAToN, were $685., 204, s45, or
three times those OF the British people
Yet the number of American depositors
was 7305.22S, or 100000 less than the
number of depositors in the British post
office banks alone. Thus it appears that
while the Americans who do save their
dimes and dollars save more than their
British fellows the custom of saving is
far more general in the United Kingdom
than in the United States. Over there
at least one in four of the population
has savings bank account large or
small. With us the proportion is less
than one in ten
While the gross amount OF American
savings, as represented by deposits in
banks, shares in building and loan ASSOC
Citations, stocks and other securities, in
homes and their equipment, runs up to
an enormous sum, there is little doubt
of the correctness of statement made
by Mr.. WANANtAKER when, as POST
master-General, he urged the establish
ment of postal savings banks in this
country He said: The making of
money is part Of the genius Of an Amer
ican but the saving of it is not so con-
sDicuous.

SINGLE STATEHOOD
SEEMS STRANDED

The amendment to Hamilton bill will
not pass the House, if it ever comes
from the committee which is very doubt
ful. At present, Speaker Cannon being
against it, along with others of those in
authority, it appears that it is joint
statehood with Arizona or nothing.
1t is stated that the house will agree
to the Foraker amendment, giving
New Mexico and Arizona the right to
vote separately on the adoption of a
constitution, but that single statehood
for New Mexico will not get farther than
the committee.

FIRST WRECK
ON THE CENTRAL.
Extra Pushes Watertank Into Combination
Car. No One Hurt.

In the almost two years during which
the Santa Fe Central has been doing bus
mess nothing in the nature of a wreck
has occurred to delay the traffic of the road
On Monday a work train was sent out
from Santa Fe with some forty men to
clear the track Of snow. They found
the snow badly drifted but succeeded in
reaching Kennedy. The wind on the
plains near Vega Blanca was something
terrific and ere No.4 had gotten thus far,
the track was warmly housed beneath
three or four feet of the beautiful. After
bucking the snow, striking and shovel
ing the train reached Kennedy several
hours late.
The northbound train had been delayed
here, end at once started for Santa Fe,
followed by the extra, backing and push
ing a water tank, containing a supply
for the engines. About five miles out the
engineer of the passenger was compelled
to stop his train and nagman was sent
back, The extra was tagged and the
engine reversed, but the momentum sen
the water cars into the coach, giving the
passengers a good shaking up.
Engineer Leonard of the extra says
they were running not to exceed four
miles per hour when the contact came,
and this accounts for the fact that all kept
the track. Neither engineer Leonard nor
Conductor Friday who was riding the
water car saw the rear lights of the pas
senger because it had stopped on curve
at the top of the hill,
The combination car was badly shaken
up, some seats being torn loose, the win.
dow panes being shattered the tank being |
torn from the engine on the extra, the pipe
being bent and broken and |
a number of breaks of more or less impOr-
tance. No one was hurt more than
bruises aad fright The passengers walk
ed back to Kennedy and the next morning
took the Santa Fe by the way of Lamy.
The track was cleared in a short time
after an engine arrived from EStancia, as
the broken pipes neceSSitated the killing
Of both engines in the wreck.
