SAYINGS
BANKS DELAYED

Washington, July 18.-Several months
will be required to make preparations
for establishing postal savings banks
according to the opinion expressed by
Postmaster General Hitchcock before
leaving the United States recently for
brief vacation abroad.
The desire of President Taft to have
the system operated in part as soon
as possible by the establishment from
20 to 80 experimental postal banks,
probably will hasten the work of open
ing them for business. The trustees of
the system of postal savings banks will
hold meeting shortly after Mr. Hitch
cock returns to this city, when 1t is
expected both Secretary MacVeagh of
the treasury department. and Attorney
General Wickersham. the other trus-
tees will be here. The committee of
government officials is now working
to perfect a plan of organization and
has received no replies as ybt from for
eign governments to the request for
various blanks and regulations pertain
in gto their postal savings bank sys-
tenn.
Interest throughout the country con-
cerntng the establishment or postal saw
ings banks is shown by the applica-
tion of about 400 banks in Al states to
be repositories for postal funds Al
though postmasters will not receive
extra compensation for work done in
connection with the receiving OF de-
posits. about 175 have made applica-
tion to have offices designated as postal
banks. These postmasters are located
In 80 states, the majority, however, be-
ing Ohio, Michigan. Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin. Illinois, Texas and Oklahom
The South Atlantic states are conspic-
uous by an apparent lack of interest on
the part of the postmasters In apply

Cannon shows Weakness

Emporia. Kan, July 1S.-Speaker Jo-
seph G. Cannon just before beginning
|speech here at 4 o'clock this afternoon
again suffered much discomfort from the
heat. While Representative Miller was
making an Introductory speech Mr.. can
non rubbed his head and neck with ice
After beginning his speech, however,
Speaker Cannon proceeded with his ac-
customed yigor He said in part:
II am asked whether man should DC
independent in Congress? We've got
Taft. a republican Senate by the skin OF
our teeth, and part of the time republi-
can House When we began 1t was SAID
we had 46 majority. II 26 of that ma
|iority vote with the minority that would
give them a majority of one. If the re-
nublican party is not to have full power
ana responsibility 1t would be better that
the other party have full power.
From the time the Dingley bill was
passed until the republican platform In
1908 declared for a revision OF tariff.
stood souarely against revision. Why?
Because l knew a tariff could not be re-
yised without somebody lying about 1t
and without disturbing business, but
always bow, as long as l am a republi-
can. to the superior wisdom OF the ma
iority of the party. For that reason
supported revision after the republican
platform declared for it.
..The Payne bill has been in operation
since August s. Two hundred thousand
freight cars idle then are now busy.
Under that law we so arranged that more
goods are admitted free than under any
other law in our history.

per cent.
Let's see who stands for the inter
ests The duties on lumber, leather, boots
and shoes, Iron and steel are all lower
under the Payne law than under the
Dingley law. Every man who voted
against the Payne bill thereby voted to
retain the highest duties of the Dingley
law"
Reply to Bristow
Speaker Cannon closed his speech by
replying to Senator Bristow's recent
charges concerning the tariff on rubber.
During this portion of his speech Mr..
Cannon read from q typewrltten manu-
script which. In part follows: Senator
Bristow in his speech at Winfield charged
that Senator Aldrich and others brought
about an increase of duty on manufac-
tured rubber and thereupon organized
rubber trust.
Senator Bristow said that under the
operation of the Payne tariff law there
was a decrease in the amount of man
ufactured rubber imported and there
fore a loss in revenue
Either knowingly or ignorantly SEN.
ator Bristow did not state the facts.
The truth Is as shown by the official
figures of the bureau of statistics for
the nine months ending March 80, 1910,
under the Payne law there was an in
crease in the importations OF rubber
manufactures amounting to $S56,332.
For the same period the revenue
derived from imports of manufactured
rubber increased $1263s4.

the same period as indicated above

Kansas politicians. the regulars have

The Kansas insurgents are highly milf
tant They are bent on wiping out most
of the regular republicans in the House
this fall and replacing them with insur-
gents. Reliable information reaching
here from Kansas through letters is that
the people OF Kansas are in a temper
that promises to result in insurgent gains
The only weakness of the insurgents Is
In lack of organization. 1t appears. how
