James Whitcomb Riley never wrote

Then the old banner leaped like a

And 1t spake with a shake OF the

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

If the money deposited in postal
savings-banks is retired from circu-
lation, the proposed law will cause,
or at least tend to cause, money
shortage, which is the worst thing
possible for the business interests of /
the country. For that reason it is /,
not likely that the law will require
the government to lock such depos-
its up in the vaults of the Treasury
Department. 1t is more than prob
able that the vast deposits of the
postal savings-banks will be deposited
by the government in some of the or
binary banks of the country, and
when such deposits are made the
government will require the banks
receiving its deposits to furnish .. ap-
proved seeIEtyss to protect the public.
against loss.
49, ~
Now what are the advantages and
disadvantages of such a procedure
over the law proposed by the demo-
cratic platform? Under either one
of the plans the banks will have to
give special security for all deposits
guaranteed by the government.
Under the democratic plan provid
ing for the insurance of bank depos
its, all the banks of the country
would become absolutely solvent. 81
far as their depositors would be con
cerned. or at least al banks woult
be given an opportunity to protec
their depositors against loss. Unde
that plan the money belonging II
each locality would be deposited an
used much the same as 1T is unde
the present law. The only chang
would be in the greater security al
forded to depositors.
No one knows just what the Ii
publican plan will be, but the chance
are that the deposits received by IL
government will be given to a fe
big banks in sections of the COUNT
far remote from the localities whe
the money is deposited by the peopl
