POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS AND
CURRENCY REFORM.

Objection has been brought against
passing the postal savings bank bill at
this session, on the ground that it
would tend TO complicate an already
intricate system OF currency, and in
crease the difficulty of effecting salts
factory reform. 1t is pointed out that
the postal bank system would prob
ably gather in something like a billion
of deposits in very few years On
the basis of experience in other coun-
tries, five years Is commonly fixed as
the longest period within which such an
amount would be thus accumulated.
This vast accumulation, it is said.
would give a backbone of financial
strength and influence to a central bank
Of issue, If at any future time Congress
should legislate to establish such an in
stitution. There is no doubt that the
present tendency of opinion Is strongly
toward such an institution. The postal
savings system would constitute the
best possible means of gathering de-
posits and business TO such bank.
But, while it is admitted that as an
adjunct to a central bank plan, the
postal bank would be most valuable.
1T is urged that the postal bank ought
not TO be established till It is known
whether there is to be a central bank.
Then it will be possible to organize
the postal Institution with direct ref
erenee to its relations with the bank
OF issue To start the postal bank now,
and then have to adjust it, later, to
the situation created by the establish
ment of the Bank of the United States.
would involve complications.
There Is some merit in this argu-
ment; but on the whole it seems rather
an argument for than against the pres
ent creation of the postal bank. When
the Government has a banking bust
ness Of its own which handles a billion
year It will be the more impressed
with the need of an organization to
control that vast fund and make the
most OF It's power Tor good and stable
monetary conditions. It may well be
doubted whether the difficulties of
adapting and modifying the postal
bank scheme to the new conditions
brought into existence by the central
bank, would be so great as to offset
the advantages of the long step which
the postal deposits would represent.
IF the couatry is going 10 try once
more the central bank plan, there
seems no good reason why it should
not now proceed to lay a solid business
foundation for 1t in the postal savings
system. Especially is this true in view
Of the fact that the postal bank would /
be altogether desirable in and of itself |.
and aside from its relation to any
future scheme of currency reform.

quarter sections, what Is to prevent
him from entering nine times nine if he
can ring in relatives enough? If one
Senator can do this, why cannot all
of themY What a scramble of land
grabbing there would be II everybody
in Congress should decide to do as the
Senator from South Carolina did and
take a little flyer in real estatol
Tt is not necessary to think of the
Senator as being dishonest or Of using
his official position to advance his pri-
vate interests to appreciate that we
cannot permit men in Congress to
speculate in things the price of which
may be affected by their votes. Qucs
tious affecting the value of Western
lands are perpetually coming before
Congress. and they viii come up often
er in the future. Take the matter OF
irrigation alone. The Government Is
spending millions of dollars annually
in retaining land in the West, in build
ing dams and canals 1t Is conducting
operations on the broadcast scale.
1t is difficult matter at best for
man in public life to rid himself of
temptations. He certainly ought not
deliberately to put stumbling blocks in
his path. If he feels that he cannot
resist the temptation or that he wishes
to make money in ways that his posi-
tion forbids, he ought TO get out of
public lie.

Mcfarland, at the request Of Repre-
sentative S. ". Smith, chairman OF the
committee, recently conferred on the
subject with Dr. Harvey W. Wiley,
chief of the Bureau OF Chemistry, and
his assistants and requested that they
submit their conclusions in writing

Chairman smith;
Dr.. Wiley's Letter.
I'm compliance with your request, as
made at our meeting yesterday after
noon That we suggest a carbon u1onoxide
stln-al4 for Washington coal ga we
az ivisiug you as to what standard
we think should be adopted, and the
reasons therefor.
I'VE are of the opinion thar the
amount of carbol monOxide should be
limited 70 10 PEI cent. Ordinary gas
contains as an average about 6 to ? per
cent carbon mouoxide. This amount
may rise to nearly ID per cent, If GER
tain Goals and meth DDS Of distiIlation
are used, hence we believe that a 10
per cent limit would allow the gas COM
pany 10 use practically any coal and dis
ullatlOn process they des red and yet
prevent them from using any consider
able amount Of deadly water gas which
contains from 80 TO 10 per cent carbon
Blamed for Deaths.
1T is needless TO point out to YOU
the desirability OF limiting the amount
of carbon mOnOXide in Illuminating gas.
as il is well known TO the general pub
lie as well as 20 all sanitarians that
carbon mOnOXide Is the active poisonous
principle which is responsible for prac-
ucatly all deaths from gas useC for
purposes"
