OPPOSITION TO
SAVINGS BANKS
ATLANTA CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE is AGAINST THE FRO
POSED NEW LAW.

Atlanta, March 3-Opposition to the
establishment of postal savings banks
was voiced in the following resolution
passed by the chairman of commit
lees of the Atlanta chamber of COM
merce yeterday afternoon
Whereas, there is now being en-
videred by the congress of the United
States a measure having for it's pur-
pose the establishment OF postal saw
tngs banks; and
Whereas, the facilities of the saw
ngs tanks Of this country very nearly
approximate the needs of the people,
experience showing that the establish
ment of savings bank follows close
ly upon the demand f-r such an insti-
ltion in the community: and
Whereas, the proposed method of
inyenting the funds deposited in postal
cavings banks would work hardship
by Withdrawing money from the com
.nunity where it is needed for building
ZONES and promoting local industries
te centers already well supplied with
capital and
"Wnereas, POSTAL savings banks
would accentuate the weakness of our
Iresent currency system by making
additional funds available for specula-
ton at times when interest rates are
low; and
Whereas. the argument that for
eigners will not deposit their savings
in any other than a government bank,
thus depriving the community of the
use u these funds if postal savings
banks are not established should have
little weight for the reason that it is
q settled policy of this country to
teach foreigners to accommodate them
selves to our methods. rather than that
our methods should be made to con-
form to their prejudices; and
Whereas. the national monetary
commission appointed by congress is
now working on a thorough revision
of our currency system, and no legis-
lation should be enacted that will in
any way hamper the commission.
Postal savings banks would largely
neutralize whatever currency reform
might be adopted, because of the fact
that in time of panic it is altogether
likely that funds would be withdrawn
from private institutions and derosited
in postal savings banks, thus making
the financial difficulties more acute.
Postal savings banks would tend to
effect the effectiveness of any currency
law enacted.
BE it resolved, therefore, That the
chairman of committees of the Atlanta
chamber of commerce, for the reasons
above stated, and for others equally
potent. are seriously opposed to the
establihment of postal savings banks
in this country"

bundles and they were walking rather
hastily when the negroes appeared.
Suddenly one of them grabbed the
purse of the lady mentioned, and
succeeded in securing it. although it
was necessary to pull it with suca
force that the handle was left wrapped
around the lady's arm. AS soon as

TO ABOLISH THE QUEUE.
A Noteworthy Proof of the Advance
ment of the Chinese.

most noteworthy proofs of Chinese ad-
vancement in the ways of modcr civ
ilization is afforded by the imperial
edict, effective this month, which per-
mits Chinese to cut off their queues
without losing cast. Formerly a China
man without a queue was looked upon
as an abandoned creature, especially
in the interior ItoNns, where they
were often subjected to gross indgni-
ties.
The queue was introduced into Chi
ma by the Manchu dynasty nearly
thousand years ago.
