157 of the population. With one saw
ings institution to every 5000 of the
the present supply would be
fairly good if the distribution of the
banks were uniform; bEt, profit being
the chief incentive of those who pro-
mote and conduct the business, it
naturally follows that only advanta-
geous locations are selected, to the
exclusion from privileges and benefits
of the millions of equally deserving
persons residing in less favored locali-
ties.
Then, again. while in the main man
agement has been safe and prudent,
failures more or less disastrous have
occurred with sufficient frequency to
restrain the confidence of the masses to
such an extent that suspicion has de-
tered millions of the most worthy OBJ
jects of concern from reaping the bene
fits intended to inure to them as a con-
sequence of the steady cultivation of
habits of economy and thrift.
Thus it appears that lack of conf
dence and lack of facilities have COM
bined to limit to specially advantageous
localities and to comparatively small
percentage of the population the bene-
fcent service of these institutions.
Enlightened men in all civilized coun-
tries concur in the belief that The good
of society and the stability of govern
ment are most effectively promoted by
encouraging habits of economy and q
saving disposition amongst the masses
of the people.
Recognizing this principle and TAX
/ ing note of the savings banks then ex-
listing as useful but obviously made
quate agency for the service of the
people in all parts of the country, the
British government led the way in 1856
/ by dedicating the widespread machin
cry of the postoffice department to th'
service of the public for the conduc-
of personal savings banks.

SENATOR CARTER
SEES NEED
Of Early Establishment Of Postal Savings
banks by Government. Gives Views.

In 1877 the parliament of Great
Britain first gave attention to savings
banks, and from that time to the pres
ent more or less intelligent and effec-
tive legislative control has been exer-
cised over these institutions in the
various jurisdictions.
Experience has amply demonstrated
the usefulness of the savings bank
from every point of view, but unhap-
piIv it has also disclosed the incapa-
city of both the old or mutual system
and the joint stock company to meet
the public demand for safe, convenient,
and adequate facilities. In 1860 out
Of total of 638 savings banks in Eng
land $50 were open only one day in the
week, and then only for brief time !;
and many of the populous towns and
countries were without any facilities
at all. On the thirtieth of June, 1907,
we had in the United States, as shown
by the report of the comptroller OF the
currency, approximately l, 415. savings
banks, nearly one-half the number be-
ing in New York and New England,
while many states, numerous large
towns. and all the rural districts and
isolated communities generally were
shown to be wholly devoid of savings
bank accommodations.
| In the New England states, where
the savings banks are comparatively
numerous, it will be observed thai
there is one savings bank account tt
two of the population, whereas IN the
middle western and southern states,
where banks are limited in number
the average is about one accsspt t.

''post-office savings bank account, -
or the postmaster-general, with the ap
proval of the secretary of the treas
ury, may designate United States de-
positories conveniently located to re-
ceive ard disburse postal savings
funds.
The secretary Of the treasury is au-
thorized to invest surplus savings
bank funds in United States bonds, as
far as possible to do so with profit to
the fund, and further to invest in state
bonds or to deposit in banks within the
states where such postal deposits are
made upon security and under such
rules as he may prescribe. at rate of
interest that will yield a profit to the
postal savings bank fund; or, when the
government is in need of the money,
he may turn it into the general fund
of the treasury, in which case, of
course, the government would be the
borrower from the fund.
The bill covers many details relat-
ing to the administration of the law,
the security of the funds at all stages,
and the punishment of persons guilty
of violating it's provisions; but the sub
stance of the measure as affecting the
public will be found in the foregoing
brief outline, which have endeavored,
with some degree OF success, | hope,
to make reasonably clear.
The Scope.
On January l, 1908, Al, 900 money-or-
der offices were available as postal
savings bank offices, but the postmas-
ter-general is allowed TO limit the num-
Der in the beginning to postoffices of
the first, second and third classes, num-
bering at present 6,314. The magni-
tude of the business in view may in
some measure be realized by reference
to the postal savings accounts in Great
Britain, where, as shown by the last
report, depositors number 10, 332, 784,
total deposits aggregate $779, ,982, ,230,
and the average amount to the credit
of each depositor is S72. .46.
Bankers generally object to postal
savings banks, and urge that the sys-
tenn savors of paternalism, that the
government should keep out of the
banking business, that deposits would
be concentrated and boarded at Wash
ington and that private enterprise can
furnish all the savings banks neces-
: sary.
In answer it may be said that the
; postal service is paternal that the bill
does not put the government into COM
mercial banking, but only places the
existing machinery of the postoffice
| department at the service of people OF
, small means to enable them to save
their earnings without danger of loss
that deposits would not be concentrat
ed at Washington, but on the contrary
would be largely deposited as needed
+ in the localities where received; and
!. finally that more than ninety years
experience has shown that private en-.
terprise does not furnish all the saw
e ings banks necessary.
