Postmaster General to Ask
Legislation for Econom-
ical Operation.
DEPARTMENT TO BE
SELF-SUPPORTING
Favors Savings Banks Plan, But
Time for 1t Not Ripe
Yet.
By JAMES HAY, Jr.

Frank II. Hitchcock, the Postmaster
General, will not recommend 10 the next
session OF Congress that legislation be
enacted to establish a postal savings
bank In the United States.
BY those who are familiar with Mr.
Hitchcock's views on the subject. 1t is
explained that he wishes such legisla-
ton postponed until the first session of
the Stxty-secOnd Congress, when il will
be possible 10 draw up the legislation
for the postal savings bank in such
shape that the institution viii be an in
tegrai and cooperative part Of the pro-
posed reforms in the financial and cur
rency system of the United States.
Another factor which has played a
great part in persuading the Postmaster
General to postpone any recommenda-
ton Of the legislation either to Congress
or TO the President is the imperious
need Of economy in the postal service
Of the country.
Prepares Annual Report.
He viii devote practically the whole
Of this week to writing his annual re-
port, and, in order 10 give as much
time TO II as is necessary. he viii re-
main away from his offices at the de-
partment while the work is in progress.
Personally, Dir. Hitchcock IS an earn
est advocate Of a postal savings bank.
as is President Taft The promise. OF
such legislation is contained IN the Re
publican platform. and there is not much
doubt that there is IN both houses Of
Congress sufficient sentiment 70. ne
legislation 10 insure its passage san
the matter Is presented by Adminfsfra-
tion representatives.
II is the opinion of the Postmaster
General, however. that a postal savings
bank should be inaugurated only on
the lines Of the highest efficiency. and
that this high efficiency can be at
tained only by putting the institution in
its proper place as an integral part OF
the country's currency system. This
can be done when Senator Aldrich pre-
sents TO Congress his bill for reforms
IN the currency system. and ne will
not take such action until the session
following the one this winter
Need For Economy.
Study Of the situation has convinced
Mr.. Hitchcock that to establish the nos
tai savings bank in the next session OF
Congress would be the loading on the
postal service of an expense which. with
the present enormous deficit, It could
III AFFORD to bear. But while the need
OF economy in the service IS pressing.
his chief consideration has been that
higher efficiency and stability for the
institution can best be attained by de-
laying the legislation until the time
for the monetary reforms.
The reforms which Mr.. Hitchcock has
instituted. and which he viii propose In
his report. viii tend TO cut down the
deficit in the near future. but their real
and more permanent effects will come
later when they have been put into
operation long enough to allow the re-
turns TO come in and be calculated.

Death of R. B. Donaldson

-F principally by heart failure. Mir. Donaldson had been in poor health for some time, and upon the advice of the attendinS phy- eiciar was taken to the hospital on Thursday of last week. How ever, the malady had gained too great headway and the patient expired during the early hours of Sunday morning.
 The funeral was held here from the Opera House on Tuesday af- ternOOn, under the auspices of the Masonic Lodge, the services at the grave, which was from the Masonic Ritual, being in the charge of Mir. George Schaal Messrs. Y. Proctor, George H. Reyes, Chas. E. Schaeffer, Lar Kin II. Ball, Frank $. Lewis and John T. Smongeski acting as pail bearers
 The Rev. Robert E. Wright of the Methodist Church deliv- cred the funeral OratiOn at the Opera House, in his usual mas terly style.
 Mir. Donaldson was born in the city of New York, some 52 years ago. and at an early age Lecame proficient as a telegra- pher. Later he entered the ranks of the train dispatchers and was assit ntsd on many occasions to pQfsftiehs of importance in tine sFoadi serviee 21f 4Boutfour years ago Mr Don- aldson came to WinsIow, acttpt- ing a place as dispatcher for the Santa Fe, filling the same very creditably until the time of his demise.
 A widow and a young daugh- ter survive the deceased.
 Mir. Donaldson was a Mason of high degree, having first enter ed the ranks of MasOnary at Se- dalia, Mo-, where he was at the time chief dispatcher for the Missouri Pacific. Later he be- came affiliated with Sedalia Chapter No. 216. He became a member of the Knights Templar at Jonesboro, Ark, joining Ivan hoe Commandery, and was also a member of Sesostros Temple of the Mystic Shrine.
 As a man, as a citizen and as a Mason, Mir. Donaldson was held in very high esteem among his many friends and co-workers in W1nslow, as well as by his fra ternal brothers. In his death the community has lost a highly upright citizen, and the sympa- thy of the community Is tenderly expressed through the columns of THE MAIL to the bereaved widow and daughter.
