POSTAL BANK SYSTEM
POSTMASTER GENERAL MEYER
HAS WORKED OUT PLAN FOR
PERFECT POSTAL BANK.

Washington. Nov. 20.--The plan
Of Postmaster General Meyer to es.
tahlish postal banks has been
wrought out with great deal of
care and involves a system which.
II put into effect. will be an i'm.
provement on the systems now in
vogue in European countries.
Briefly stated. the plan is that
the department shall receive de.
posits at all money postofiices. De-
positors will be furnished with
books. in which deposits will be re.
ceipted for. The postmaster will
then transmit this money to the
department at Washington, which
will acknowledge its receipt direct
to the dcpositor This money will
then be taken and deposited by the
government In the banks of the
congressional district from whence
it came, the only requirement. be.
ing that they shall be government
repositories for the treasury depart.
ment Upon succh deposits it is
proposed that the government pay
interest at the rate Of > per cent.
There wiz be no security given,
but the agreement is to be that
the government shall be the pre-
ferred dopositor, and shall be re-.
paid before any other division OF
funds is made, in the event of in
solycnCy. Thus the government Is
absolutely protected, and is at the
same time in position TO guar
antoc the security of the funds Of
dopCsitors Il is the intention to
Gcep the limit of deposits down
.O @ few hundred dollars, that to
be settled by legislative enactment.
Other nations have found the pos
ll savings banks Il great aid in
che handling of their finances. Eng

A WALL STREET THEORY.

ana now comes tne New 1Ork
Journal Of Commerce with the charge
that the banks of the west and south
disposition as those timorous persons
who have drawn their money from
tn. banks TO hide II away. and as
"A result they have partially paral-
yzed the operation of the reclpro-
cal credit system by which the bulk
Of trade between different parts
Of the country are carried on They
have TO an unnecessary and un.
iustifiable extent drawn away their
d posits and reduced their credit
in New York with the result that
their own customers can not make
their payments here by the usual
domestic exchange methods"
All OF which is perfectly ridIcuoius.
The one great mistake the interior
banks made last spring was sending
large sums OF currency to the east
TO be loaned at the higher rates Of
interest there. when the demand Cor
money was light at home Now they
can not get this money back at
time when vast sums are needed
to move the crops. The interior
banks are not hoar ling. but are
compelled to maintain their reserves.
The result is that business is clog.
ged because OF the situation In New
York. II is doubtful II the per capita
of circulation In Texas exceeds Sc
per capita as against 1913 for the
country and approximately 5000 in
New York City. according to the
most reliable information And yet
Texas has products worth a quarter
of billion dollars to get to mar.
ket The Texas banks can not
raid their reserves as the New York
banks do in times OF furry. Hence,
they must hold on to their money
until they have an assurance they
can get more.
The southern banks. as a rule. have
more money in New York than they
need. There is no trouble whatever to
get New York exchange anywhere in
Texas and II payments in New York
are delayed, it will not be because
OF the lack OF southern credit there,
but because debtors are unable to
gather together the cash with which
TO buy the exchange.
With the vast sums of money that
have been poured into New York to
be boarded. draining the country of
the crop money which is essential
TO business at this time of the year,
1t Is the height of audacity for such
n paper as the journal of Commerce
to hint at the boarding OF southern
and western banks
The stock gamblers handle enough
money on a single day in New York
to mov' the cotton crop OF Texas.
The trouble Is. the notion has be.
come cxtant in New York that op.
erations in fictitious securities con.
stitutc the basis of our system of
commerce. production. industry and
finance. The lesson of the present
disturbance is not apt to be lost
on the southern and western bankers.
Hereafter, they will prefer to keep
at home the money they have in
excess of the sum It may be neces.
sary to have on deposit in New York
for legitimate exchanges Then they
Will be sure to have money for
