Must Recognize Needs.

Senators may have ideas as to the
amount the bill should carry. and In what
manner the appropriations should be
made for river and harbor work, but
they cannot fail to recognize the almost
universal demand for river and harbor
bill that will be comprehensive in char
acter.''
some criticism is heard Of the features
Of the bill now receiving it's final touches
IN the House committee on rivers and
harbors, particularly with reference to
fixing a time limit for the completion of
certain projects. And yet If this policy
be NOT adopted the old handicap will
continue to exist and delays incidental
to unbusiness-like treatment Of waterway
improvements will operate to that parti-
cular projects disadvantage.
Among the notable examples of how the
old policy of piecemeal appropriations
worked, is the Ohio river project. In
thirty-three years but one-fifth of the
project is completed, and if these old
fogy methods are to continue its compile
ton will be accomplished in about

FOR POSTAL BANKS
Senator Carter Urges Pass
age of Savings Bill.
WOULD INSPIRE THRIFT
A Help Rather Than a Menace to
Commercial Banks.
WITHIN THE CONSTITUTION
No Different in Principle, He De-
clares, Than the Present
Money Order System.
WITHIN THE CONSTITUTION

The United States is the only first
lclass power in the world to deny to the
lpcoplc the privileges and the blessings en-
| Joycd by a postal savings bank, declared
Senator Carter of Montana, speaking to-
day IN the Senate on the bill to establish
postal savings banks, favorably reported
from the committee on post offices and
post roads.
lie spoke of the promises made in the
last republican platform, well as in
several other party platforms, of the sup
port given to the measure by former
President Roosevelt and by President
Taft, as also by a number of the Post
master Generals of the past forty years,
and outlined the present bill
Answering numerous objections which
have been made against postal savings
banks. Senator Carter asserted that they
would not be a menace TO the present
banking system of the country, that the
commercial banks, even If they were
SuincientIy numerous, could not reach
the people in the rural and sparsely in
ha bited districts whom the postal banks
are designed to benefit The postal de-
positories, he declared, would. encourage
thrift, would bring into circulation much
money now kept in hiding and would
impel foreigners, who now send much
of their savings home for deposit in saw
ings banks in their own countries. to
place it in the care of this government.
Successful Where Tried.
In referring to the countries which al
ready have such a system, the speaker
sail that cit Is operated in countries of
limited extent and those of broad terri
torial expanse with equal facility, sue
cess and satisfaction"
Answering the objection that the estab-
lishment of the postal banks would be
IAN unwarranted use of power by he
government, he claimed that 1.-The bin but
Celebrates use to which the postaf serv-
Ice Is now subjected, for. as the report
of the committee will show. a very large
sum of money in all the. states and ter
ritorfes is invested in money orders pay
able to the purchaser and renewed an
nually at an expense of So per 81 600 as
penalty of thrift.
THE prime purpose of the measure -
he declared, "is to encourage thrift
among the masses of the people by fur
nishing widely distributed. convenient
and absolutely safe depositaries wherein
small sums may be- placed at a low rate
of interest with the faith and credit of
the government pledged to the repay
ment of principal and interest on de-
mand.''
He held that If the commercial and
other banks were widely distributed they
would not be patronized to any consider
able extent by the class of people to
whom the postal savings depository would
furnish the needful elements of convent
fence and absolute confidence. AS to ,ne
charge that such system might be held
microscope has not yet been made which
can disclose difference in principle be-,
tween the money order system and the
system here proposed"

ECONOMY TO RULE
Waterways Appropriations
Limited to Necessities.
SENTIMENT OF THE SENATE
Provision to Be Made Only for
Projects Under Continuing
Contract System.

A conservative waterways bill will re-
ceive the approval of majority OF the
members of the Senate at the present
session. according to indications based on
a canvass of the upper house of Congress.
But, while some senators advocate a lib
eral appropriation, the administrations
policy of economy will without doubt
limit it to the bare necessities for carry
ing out work now under way.
Expressing the views of the opponents
of a rivers and harbors bill, Senator
Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania said this
matter recently came up for discussion
in the Senate committee on public ex-
penditures. of which Mr.. Hale Is chair
man. and that, while no definite decision
was reached, the leaders expressed the
opinion that it would be folly to pass
waterways bill carrying $4,000, 600, in
view of the present condition of the
Treasury.
An opinion exists" he said, that if
we provide for projects now building I'M
der continuins-contract provisions 1t will
be about all the present Congress can
reasonably be expected to do. Should we
do this the sundry civil bill will carry
in the nelghborhood of $4,000, COO for con-
tinutng the work Of river and harbor
Improvement"
Several other senator's, who, for per-
sonal reasons, object to the use of their
names, spoke in much the same vein as
did the senator from Pennsylvania.
Senator Frye Takes Opposite View.
Senator Frye of Maine, chairman of
the commerce committee. and an un-
compromising friend of waterway i'm
provements, takes diametrically oppo-
site view Of the situation.
THE only way a river and harbor bill
can be defeated. said Senator Frye. lis
that 1t might be talked to death. IT
certainly cannot be defeated by votes.
have not heard the rumors about a dis
position on the part of some senators to
postpone consideration of river and
harbor BILL but in view of the Presidents
recommendations in his special message
to Congress, l cannot believe there Is any
foundation for the rumors."
Senator Lorimer of Illinois, a member
of the United States waterways commits
sion and who when a member OF the
House held a ranking place on the rivers
and harbors committee. expressed the
opinion that II a business-like bill for
river and harbor improvements passes
the House, as every indication points that
it will, it's consideration by the Senate
could not be postponed, for the CONNER
cial interests of the country would de-
mand its passage, and make that de-
mand felt.

HELP DEVELOP WESTERN MICH
Desirable Class of Catholic Farmers viii
Receive Liberal Inducements TO Locate

The first big Catholic colony to be
established in Western Michigan under
the plans of the Catholic colonization
society recently organized in the diocese
of Grand Rapids will be in Wexford
county, west of Cadillac, Eight thous-
and acres have been set aside out of a
10000 acre tract owned by George "A.
Hart of Manistee and the colonization
society will seek to settle all this with
Catholic farmers who desire to help
develop western Michigan and to reap
the benefits of that development.
Contracts have been entered into
between Bishop Richter for the society
and Mr.. Hart, whereby the land has
been set aside The society will now
try to secure for it the highest possible
type of settlers 1t is probable thar
Polish Catholic farmers will be the frs
to take advantage of the opportunities
offered Mr. Hart has agreed to erect
a church building that will serve "a a
center for the colony.
"The action of the society in this
matter is simply in keeping with the
objects of the organization, said
Monsignor Joseph Schrembs. 1--WE
aim to aid in the development of west
ern Michigan and at the same time to
secure Catholic settlers. The reason
that first called for the establishment
of the society was the fact that specula-
tors were swindling would be settlers by
selling them worthless land thus wrong
ing the settlers and doing an injustice
to Michigan which has great acreage
of land available. Our society investi-
gates the lands for sale and informs
prospective Settlers accordingly. We
have found all this land of fine quality
and hence this contract"
The land in question is located in
