SdNliiSS BANKS IL Is uOt Unlike
| ly that such an effort will be
made at the next session of con-
gress, and as the movement seems
! to be gaining strength with the
/ people it is probable it will ulti-
mately succeed.
The opponents of the measure
fall into two classes. First are
those who are utterly averse to
the general government taking
any part whatever in a banking
business. Many of these people
would destroy the present
National Bank system and place
the whole banking business in
control of the several states.
Unable to do this they vehement
ly oppose any extension of gov
ernmental powers and response
bility as must attend the estab-
lishment and conduct of Postal
Savings Banks.
The second class is composed
of those interested in the Savings
Banks already established and
doing business under provisions
Iof state laws enacted by the
states in which they are located.
Some of the states have wise and
beneficial laws for the direction
and control of this kind of bank
ing. All the safeguards that
human experience can device
have been thrown around the
business, and there are many
Savings Banks which have a
record for wise, conservative,
successful and safe business
reaching back for many years.
Unfortunately all banks of
this kind are not governed by
wise laws. Some of the states
are regarded as being quite lax.
Besides this it has been found
next to impossible to secure,
among the states, anything like
uniformity of legislation on this
subject.
Some of the arguments in
favor Of Postal Savings Banks
rest on the grounds that the
general government would give
a uniform system of control over
the savings banking business.
This ca-l only extend to savings
entrusted to the United States.
Banks established under state
laws would remain under control
of such laws.
1t is argued that it is to the
interest of the government to
foster and encourage the saving
habit in the people.
1t is difficult to see any interest
or duty in this connection which
does not belong to the several
states equally with the United
States.
Postal Savings Banks, because
of the more certain security they
would give to the depositor,
would encourage large numbers
to practice saving who have not
yet made, and under present con-
ditions will not make any earnest
attempt toward systematic saw
ing of some portion Of their earn
ings.
This is possibly the strongest
claim of those who favor Postal
Banks. The security arising
from wise, careful, conservative
methods of making investments
of entrusted moneys-the secu.
rity of answering honesty or
part of those controlling trust
/ funds, whether these are formed
by the poor mans savings or
otherwise, is the only security
that secures. Ali over the
country are such men and de-
positors with them feel secure.
Uncle Sam is known to a
greater number Of people and
possibly from this fact alone he
would doubtless do a big business

PANAMA SHRINKS
in COMP ARSON
Work Of Reclamation Of
A Far Greater
Magnitude

Constantly in the limelight of pub
lie attention the Panama canal has re-
ceiyed more gratuitous advertising
in newspapers and magazines than
any other modern enterprise. Col
umn after column has been devoted to
the vastness Of the work, the great
engineering difficulties to be over
come, the enormous expenditure CT
money required to complete the ditch,
its financial and commercial impor-
lance when completed. In the brief
period since the work was begun tine
country has been scraped as with
fine-tooth comb for the most capable
engineers to conduct the construction
and changes in management have
been made with startling and amaz-
ing rapidity.
Meantime, without the ostentation
of startling newspaper headlines. the
redemption of vast empire In the
west is well under way under the
magic touch of irrigation to AN ex-
penditure of about $1,000. 000, 900,
seven times the estimated cost of the
Panama canal. Not only this but
in the necessary excavation work the
total, when the twenty-six projects
now approved are completed, will be
many times more than the 1873, 600 900
cubic yards required for the Panama
canal Up to the present time the ex-
cavation work of the reclamation
service amounts to $4,000. 900 cubic
yards. And in variety and difficulty
the engineering problems encountered
in reclamation work are by no means
second to those upon which so MANY
regulations have been wrecked at the
isthmus.
And in commercial financial and
industrial importance the reclamation
of the arid west far overshadows the
prophesies of even the most enthusi-
astic of the canal advocates Taking
the value of the irrigated land at SAT,
according to the last census, although
it frequently reaches $1,000 per acre.
when the work of redemption is COM
pleted the taxable property of the
country will be increased to $780,
600, 600, and new homes for 100000
families on farms and adjacent viii
lagos and towns will be provided. The
twenty-six approved projects for
which funds are now provided will
add to the crop producing area of
the country a district equal In size
to Connecticut, New Hampshire, Mas
sachusetts and Florida. This alone
increases the yearly value of crops by
100000. 600 and adds 1892, 000,0 900 to
the taxable properly of the country.
A summs1y of the work done by
the reclamation service up to the pres
ent time makes the digging of 1.-The
Panama canal project a small task
in comparison. The irrigation engi-
neers have excavated 1857 miles of
canal, some of the canals being large
enough to carry whole rivers lilSe the
North Platte and .Truckee. A total
of forty-three tunnels nine and a half
miles long have been excavated, 214
bridges built. 764 structures, includ-
ing three great dams, erected; 378
miles of road constructed in inacces-
sable regions, 1873 miles of telephone
strung. 10.973 square miles of topo-
graphical surveys made, transit lines
extended over 1897 miles. level lines
