Washington. Doc. 29.-The chances
for the passage OF a postal savings
bank bill at the present session OF
congress have been still further I'M
paired by the knowledge that the
chairman Of the postoHlce committee
in each house of congress Is opposed
TO the measure at this time.
Senator Penrose. chairman OF the
senate committee on postohices ana

author of the postal savings bank DILL
that he does not approve OF favor

monetary commission has reported
plan for monetary reform. In this view
Senator Pcnrose stands with Senator
Aldrich. chairman Of the finance COM
mittee. and Representative Weeks OF
Massachusetts. chairman OF the house
committee on postoif'ces and post
roads. and. like Mr. Aldrich. mem
Der OF the monetary commission In
face of these disbursements Sena'
tor Carter will make fight TO secure
favorable action on the bill. He Is now
with the party Of senators who went
TO the canal zone on the United States

graphed that he will be back In Wash
ington on Jan. 2.
Senator Carter will take up the cud-
gel for his postal savings bank bill
Immediately after the holiday recess.

to meet Messrs. Knapp and NELL In
conference. One Of the objects Of Mr..
Perham's proposed visit TO Washington
is 10 lay the strike situation before
President Taft.
According to information received
here. the scope of the strike will be
broadened materially unless the war
ring forces can be brought together.
Under the terms Of the Erdman act
the chairman of the interstate com
merce commission and the commits
sioner Of labor are designated as me
diators and cOnciliatOrs. They are
charged with the duty of paving the
way TO arbitration in disputes between
railway employers and railway EN-
plOyes.
Measrs. Knapp and NELL have acted
in a number OF strike cases. and with
the exception of the present one have
Invariably been successful in bringing
order out of chaos. 1t is known. how
ever. that up to the time they received
word from Mr. Perham that he desired
to confer with them Messrs. Knapp
and Neil were fearful that in this In
stance the Erdman act would prove a
failure. There is a probability that
the strike may be settled without re-
course to the Erdman act although
Messrs. Knapp and NELL may be fac
tors in ending the trouble.
AS the situation now stands. the
railway employees are believed to be
still opposed to a settlement of their
troubles under the Erdman act. owing
to the possibility of delay through ap-
peals to the courts. A strong effort
will be made to induce President Taft
to interest himself In the situation.
If the president can be induced to
intercede, officers here believe that
what threatens to be a strike wide
spread in its proportions may be avert
ed. The indications are that the presi
dent will have his attention formally
directed to the matter Immediately
following Fridays conference.

ALEGALIZED PRIMARY

We do not approve of the primary
plan of nominating candidates Tor
Office. Our chief objections have
been the immense cost to candidates,
which practically debarred poor men,
however able, from aspiration to po-
litical honors, and the strife 1t en-
genders within the party. Speaker
Byrd has prepared bill for sub
mission to the next General Assem-
bly,, the object of which is to legal
ize and perfect the primary. The
proposed measure will come as near
removing the objections to the exist
ing plan as any legislation can. In
substance, the bill provides:
Primary for all parties to be held on
same day and obligatory on all parties
voting as much as one-fourth OF total
vote. A.
Unless inconsistent with the
act itself. the regular election law is to
govern and the primary is put under
the protection of the courts.
Expenses are TO be paid by cities and
counties.
The winning candidate need only re-
ceive a plurality vote.
Parties may choose their own meth,
DDS of nomination of Presidential
electors.
Voter in primary must have voted IN
nreceding eenerel election for a nomi-
nee of party in whose primary ne oners
TO vote.
Candidates must pay a fee OF 3 per
cent. of one years salary OF Once 10
which they asoire to prevent ballot be
ing encountered by irresponsible candl-
dates.
Candidates are not permitted 10
spend more than 10 cents for each vote
cast at last preceding Gubernatorial
election for candidate of his party.
Newspapers must mark paid POLITICAL
matter as advertisement and publish
name Of person paying for 1t.
These provisions, while they will
somewhat mitigate the objections to
the primary system, will not be
found to remove them to that de-
gree which will make the primary
acceptable to the people as a whole
or even to a majority of the voters
of the State. Of course, the bill
still has to run the gauntlet Of the
legislative scrutiny. and we doubt
whether it will be passed in as ac-
ceptable a form as it is now prepared.
