AMENDING POSTAL
SAVINGS BANK BILL
Senator Carter to Press For Vote on
The Measure.

The Measure.
Washington, Jan. 7.--When the SEN
ate convened yesterday it was under
stood that the bill to establish postal
savings banks would be taken up after
the disposal of routine business. The
bill is in charge of Senator Carter, who
win attempt to keep 1t before that
body until it lie disposed of. The seu-
ator proposes TO press for vote on
the measure which Is now the unfnish-
ed business OF the Senate. Senator Car
ter believes that week or 10 days will
be ample in which to dispose Of his
bill.
Senator Raynor of Maryland believes
some of the features OF the bill TO be
unconstitutional and Senator Carter
will offer amendments reducing the
amount that may be deposited by a
single person in postal hank during
one wonth from $500 TO 500, and the
aggregate amount that may be kept
on deposit from $1,000 to $500.
To economic bookkeeping, the mini
mum deposit will be increased from 10
to so cents. The provision allowing a
trustee to open an account for O ward
will be stricken out.
1t is expected that these and other
amendments will do much to make
the bill satisfactory to senators who
have not approved it.
