Postal Savings Bank
Bill.


ings Bank bill has at last been
passed by the United States Senate
on strict party lines. Senator Nc
Emery voted all along with the Re-
publieans on this matter. as usual.
until the final vote as a whole, when
he voted with the Democrats, some
thing unusual. The bill provides
that deposits shall be taken by the
Post Office in every money order
town and deposited in the local
banks, the banks to pay d oIo
for the money. No one shall be
allowed to deposit an average of
more than $100. per month aud
sums as small as ST will be accep-
ted 2 oIo interest, will be guaranteed
the IA oIo being retained for ex-
penses. The aggregate balance
that will be allowed any one de-
positor will be $500. 1t is calcula-
ted, according to reports, that such
a law should bring much money out
of hiding and result in fund rang
ing all the wayfrom five hundred mil
lion to one billion dollars. The idea
of the government would be to use
this money in case Of any exigency,
and to invest it in securities of the
government, as advised by the
Postmaster General, the Secretary
of the Treasurer, and the Attorney
General.

Neither Necessary
Advisable Nor Wise
Such is the report of the Text Book Com
mittee made public by Governor San
ders last week.
The changes made by the text book com
mittee not fully approved by investiga-
ting committee.
While they are condemned in part they
are credited with good faith and reliev-
ed of charges of graft, etc.

The text book committee made
its report which had been given
the Governor some days ago.
The committe is not fully
exonerated for the selection made
but they are credited with good
faith and relieved of the charges of
graft, scandal and preference.
The report at first attempts to be
severe in a way and in order to
soothe injured pride smoothes it
over by throwing in a little tatfy
and flatterv.
The report says in part "from
the evidence before US we have
no hesitation in saying that in
recommending the changes in
question the mem bers of the
textbook com mittee were not in.
fluenced or actuated by any i'm
proper motive or consideration.
On the contrary we believe that
they acted in entire good faith
and for what IN their Judgment
was for the best interests of the
schools of the State and the
charges of graft school book
scandal, raid and similar express
sions or without warrant. The
most that can be said is that
they have fallen into error of
Judgment. We are of the opinion
that changes as extensive as
those put into effect were nei-
ther necessary, advisa BILE nor
wise, we think that the extra
expense put upon the people of
the state by such considerable
changes is out of proportion to
any apparent benefit that has
accrued TO the school system
therefore we do not undertake
to say that all of the changes
were inadyisa Bile.
Winding up the report the
com mittee states that it is their
conviction that the present laws
and methods in this matter of
school book adoption should be
changed SO as not to i'm mply and
suggest a general adoption
every four years. Their might
be some limit fixed as to mum
Der of changes which may be
made at any one time. A school
book committee entirely separate
from State Board of Education
is recommended, that their re-
commendationo of changes should
be published sufficient time in
advance of contemplated changes
and that present law giving pr E.
ference to Louisiana editors and
pu blished should be repealed
Or at least amended.

the fact that there is criticism to a
great extent. that the roads will OIL

fourteen miles of model road con-
