TAFT PREPARING TO URGE POSTAL
SAVINGS BANK LEGISLATION SOON

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 26.-Presi-
dent Taft indicated in talks with call
ers Yesterday that in his message to
congress next December he will
strongly urge the early establishment
of a postal savings bank system. The
president realizes that there is strong
opposition to such legislation, and
while he does not propose to rush
congress on too many matters al once.
he will ask that the platform declara-
tion of the republican party in favor
of postal banks be fulfilled as speed
lily as possible.
Influential members of the senate
and house are urging that the matter
be left over until the monetary COM
mission has made its report and en-
suing financial legislation has been
disposed of. 1t even has been said
that the relation between the subjects
to be dealt with by the monetary
commission and the post banks is so
close that the two should be handled
together.
wouid Get Use of Millions.
President Taft believes that sew
eral hundred of millions would be
placed at the disposal of the govern
ment through postal savings banks.
1t is suggested that this money might

Already the per cent bonds arc
selling below par. and there is fear
of further depreciation in view of the
3 per cent issues which have been
authorized and which soon NAV be
placed on the market. The money
which postal banks would draw the
president believes, is that which is
sent abroad each year by foreigners
guarantee shall be back of anv hank
in which they place their savings and
that which is secreted in stockiprs
and mattresses and not sent to anv

Would Appeal to the Timid
The president believes the nostaI
banks would appeal to timid porsons
who are afraid to trust the ordinary
banks, and who would rather got tho

government would give than In nIace
