TAFT TO URGE
POSTAL BANKS
Gives Quiet Tip to Callers
at Beverly.
WANTS PLEDGE FULFILLED

u F.. i
Believes That Hundreds OF Millions
Of Dollars Would BE Placed at Dis
posal Of Government Which Could
Be Used TO Take, Up Outstanding
Two per Cent Bonds That Are
Now selling Below Par--Has Faith
In the People.
Beverly, Mass, Aug. 26.-President
Taft indicated in talks with callers
that In his message to congress next
December he will strongly urge the
early establishment of a postal saw
ings bank system, The president
realizes that there is strong opposi-
tion to such legislation at this time.
and while he does not propose TO
at once, he will ask that the platform
declaration of the Republican party
in favor OF postal banks be fulfilled
as speedily as possible.
Influential members of both the
senate and house are urging that the
matter be left over until the none
tary commission has made its report
and ensuing financial legislation has
been disposed of. II has even been
said that the relation between the
subjects to be dealt with by the mon.
etary commission and the postal
banks Is so close that the two sbenld
be handled together.
President Taft believes that sever.
al hundreds of millions would be
placed at the disposal of the govern
ment through postal savings banks.
II Is suggested that this money might
well be employed in taking up the
5000 100000 or 100000, 600 of govern
ment per cent bonds which are out
standing, and which have given much
concern to the treasury department
officials. Already the per cent bonds
are 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 may
be placed on the market.
BY placing the interest to be nj.
lowed by the postal banks ut less
than per cent, Mr.. Taft Is con-
vinced that no harn would be done
TO the ordinary banks OF commerce,
for discriminating persons who now
place their money in these banes and
are appreciative of what these banks
are doing for the community would
not withdraw money drawing a high
rate and place 1t under government
care at half the interest of the ordi
nary savings banks.
President Taft expressed himself
again, as he did so often during the
campaign a year ago, as unalterably
opposed to a guarantee of bank de
posits. Mr.. Taft said he did not be
lleve In making one set OF bankers
stand responsible for another set, and
he does not think the national gov
ernment or the states should under
take to extend a guarantee to institu
tions which are not under direct gov
ernment control and direction.
AS to the charge OF paternalism re
fiected in the postal bank idea. Presl
dent Taft in stating his position de
clared he thought II rather far
fetched. He cited the instance of the
postoffice department itself, and SAID
the extension of the postofIice system
to include field of banking which
is not now covered by private insti
tutions could not be regarded as toe
paternalistic step. Mr.. Taft Is Q

eral.
