BANKERS ATTACK TAFT PLAN
POSTAL SAVINGS INSTITUTION
MEETS STRONG DIsAPPRovAL.
Republican Plank Condemned In
Resolution Adopted at Chi
cago Convention.

CHICAGO. September 17.-Resolutions
condemning in strong terms both guar
anty deposit laws and the establishment
of postal savings banks were adopted to-
day by the American Bankers Assocfa-
ton. In criticising these two propositions
Arthur Reynolds of Des Moines. Iowa,
chairman of the federal legislative COM
mittee. referring to the postal savings
bank, declared that the danger OF the
political use of such a power should
cause all patriotic men to hesitate before
adopting such a radical measure"
He also took issue with President Taft
on the question of the investment Of the
funds deposited in such saving banks.
In this connection he declared the legis-
lative committee was opposed, should a
postal savings bank bill become law. to
the investing of such funds in either
United States bonds or state and munich
pal bonds.
THE investment of 5000, OOO, 900 or 500.
OOO,O in United States bonds as advo-
Gated recently by our chief executive"
he said, would be a serious mistake and
a menace to our nations credit as 1t Is
to other countries where such investments
are made
AS substitute for these plans the
committee recommends state and federal
supervision and the creation of separate
savings departments in national banks.
This resolution was referred to the cur
rency commission of the association.

Thoughtless Clerks.
From the BoOkkeeper.

Every business has a good will cap, and
every satisfied customer is a feather in
that cap. Trained men at high salaries
are employed to keep tightly in place the
feathers that are already there and to add
new feathers.
1t is the advertising department that is
most conspicuously engaged in the feath-
ering process. while the adjusting depart
ment is most Enthusiastically employed
in keeping the plums firmly anchored
Both Of these departments are maintained
goes to show the value of feathers.
Who then in the organization of a bust
ness could be mischievous enough to pluck
the feathers from the good will cap :?
Who, indeed? Yet. all day long, here and
there throughout some stores. Peck!
Peck! Peck! go ruthless beaks. impelled
by raven brains in the heads Of vacuous
clerks.

Government Securities.
Bank Clearings Larger.

Review tomorrow will say:
Bank clearings are again larger this
week. not only at New York city, where
speculative operations and higher prices
naturally swell the volume of pay
ments. but at other cities as we'll. the
total of exchanges at all leading cities
in the United States being $3.1O9. 255.-
17O-26.1 per cent over a year ago and
81 per cent larger than in the corre-
spending week of 1905. when trade was
very active. Outside Of New York city
the gain over 1905 is 1917 per cent. but
the improvement is mainly at the west
notably at Chicago. Cleveland. Mime
apolis. ST. Louis and Kansas City. Some
eastern and southern cities still show
small losses, though there is a gain
this week at New Orleans.
