POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Perhaps no one law enacted by
Congress could do more to preserve
stable conditions in banking than
the establishment of postal savings
banks, as recommended by Post
master General Meyer. The reason
for this are plain. A banking
system; is built on the confidence
VI tn peoyIle Both the >vs'o
and confidence are necessary for
stable conditions of business.
BUSINESS depends on banking, and
is done almost entirely on paper
Bushes houses and banks rec
ognize this, and at such a time as
the present the commercial inter
csts are the last to do anything to
embarrass the banks. On the other
hand, those who have money in the
banks for saving become alarmed,
withdraw it, and hoard it to the
detriment of the banks. The bust
ness man does not Withdraw and
hoard, but the saving man does
when he loses confidence in the
banks. q
Then banking system that will
insure him his money, the amount
Of interest he cares little about,
whether it be two or five per cent,
and will at the same time keep
the money in the channels of
trade and will go toward prevent
ing panic through the scarcity Of
money. He can deposit his saw
ings with tie national government,
IL Canada
through the post office, and can get
his money and two per cent inter
est on it. Then he will not care to
hoard money The government can
then loan tits money, secured by
proper bonds, to the national banks
at two and a half per cent, and it
remains in circulation.
Commercial banking will take
care of itself and the men in bust
ness will have money needed be-
cause the banks have it. The
banks will have it because the gov
eminent has it to loan othem. The
government will have it because
The people who saove have entrusted
It to the government. ! So the re-
lief will come.

any frightened animal could over
turn it easily. The only good it
does is to make the animal feel that
he is hedged in by it. For a small
additional cost good guards could
be constructed which would afford
real protection.
For small openings culvert pipe
will be found cheaper in the long
run than wooden bridges, provided
there is sufficient covering to pro
tect the tile from injury by passing
wagons. AT least three feet of
earth covering should be required.
For shallower depths corrugated
galvanized pipes will serve the pur-
pose for quite long time, and its
life may be increased by surround
ing it with three or four inches of
good concrete. In fact, the con-
crete should be able to carry the
load of itself after the tile has dis
appeared.
Only comparatively few localities
that contain large cities can at
present afford a god system of
surface improvement for their
roads, but number of the smaller
towNs are making efforts in this di-
reetion All OF these, and the out
lying raral districts also, can ma
terially improve their r Dads at
small cost, and thus make the de-
sira DUTY of 1lrst-class roads more
manifest by showing how much the
small improvement has accomplish
ed God roads will come in time
anyhow, but we can materially
hasten that time. and meanw ole Sc.
sure present benefits by doing, il
a small way, what we can.

THE PARCELS POST.

of course there will be great APP
position to a parcels post. 1t will
arise in various ways, but most OF it
could be traced to the express com
panies which have so long fattened
eff the public. Some pertinent
questions may be asked here. Why
does the express company carry a
package weighing not to exceed
four pounds across the continent
for sixty cents, yet charge i've
times this much for one weighing
five pounds If the four-pound
package can be carried at profit,
WHY else should the express com,
pany carry it; at the rate forced
by the rate Of the post office. Why
should not the competition be made
70 extend to say twelve poundsY
Has the home merchants anything
to fear from competition OF the
mail order house if he can send out
on the rural routes packages direct
to his customers at rate OF about
one-half that charged for longer
haul
Will not the convenience and
comfort Of the mass of the people
and this is the first consideration
in law-making, or should be, be
greatly enhanced by making rea.
sonable parcels post rate and limit
Of weight as most foreign COUNTRIES
haveY Why should congress moi
enact a parcels post law

The recent unprecedented rains
which caused floods in the greater
;,ortion q. Texas which destroyed
many. bridges and culverts and
made almost all roads impossible,
has brought about a lively discus
si5n in many newspapers and any
number of communities in this
state. The great question seems to
be one Of proper drainage as it is
realized that only very few coun-
ties are in financial condition to
build permanent roads out of gray
ell, shell or macadam. Writers who
have given the question thought
and study seem to be eff the opinion
that great Improvement will be
noticeable in our dirt roads as soon
as they are properly drained. Prof.
JIG. Maggie ofthe Agricultural and
Mechanical College of this State,
furnished communication which
appeared in the Texas Newspaper
Union on November 25th in regard
to roads and. drainage. We notice
that he condemns, and justly %,
wooden culverts and small wooden
bridges, and advocates using tile
and corrugated galvanized iron Gull
vert pipe. Tile pipe is limited in
sizes and can only be used to adj
vantage when conditions are fav-
orable. on the other hand, CORFU
gated iron pipe is made in all sizes
up to six feet in diameter, which is
large enough to take the place of
many small wooden bridges which
cause endless expense by rotting
and washing out. We feel that our
County Commissioners and road
builders should investigate the
many advantages of this corrugated
iron pipe. 1t is advertised in our
columns by the Lone Star Culvert
Company, who manufacture it at
Houston, Texas.
1t is in use in quite number of
Shiner gazette. [volume] (Shiner, Tex.) 1893-current, 1907-12-19
BRIDGES AND CULvERTs

Another point to which more at
tention should be given is the con
struction and maintenance Of small
wooden bridges. 1t costs very lit
tie more to build a good culvert or
small bridge in the beginning than
it does to build poor one, and very
much less to maintain the good one
afterward. AS frequently seen,
what would be a fair bridge affords
very poor crossing for the lack
of a few yards of earth falling at
the ends, The average road over
seer appears to be more afraid of
moving al title dirt than of any
thing else In connection with Gull
vert building. The approaches
should be well graded up, broad
enough for two vehicles to pass in
safety and with gentle approach
slopes. The bridges should be set
well above high water, should have
a strong floor system and adequate
wheel guards and hand rails at the
sides. Too often the hand rails
are nothing more than two by four
scantlings nailed to the tops Of
similar pieces, which in turn are
merely nailed to the flooring. Such
a guard Is no real protection. az
