SENATE GETS BUSY.
Wheels of Legislation Set Grindino bv
Three Important Committees.

Wheels of Legislation Set Grindinq by
Three Important Committees.
washington, Jan. 26.-The senate has
undertaken to show the country that it
means business in carrying out the
policies of President Taft. Three COM
mlttees set the wheels of legislation
grinding yesterday. The committee on
postoffices and postroads nearly finish
ed consideration of the postal savings
bank measure, which probably will be
reported to the senate today. The COM
mittee on public lands hastened its
consideration of the conservation pro-
gram, with the prospect that some of
the administration bills will be report
ed within few days. The committee
on interstate commerce, as result Of
the >insistence of Senator Cullom of
Illinois, set Friday as the date for talk
ing up the amendment to the interstate
commerce law.
AT the meeting of the postoffice COM
mittee it became evident that the ad-
ministration has plenty of votes for it's
program. Not only was the agreement
reached that there should be such
legislation but the details were suffi-
GENTLY determined to make it certain
that the state and private banks will
be made depositaries of the postal
funds. From these the government will
require a deposit of collateral to insure
it against loss.
The only ripple of trouble was oc-
casioned by vigorous objection from
Senator Dolliver, who saw a danger to
the country banks in the discretion
lodged with the board of trustees, COM
posed of the postmaster general, the
secretary of the interior, and the attor-
ney general His fear was that the
country banks would be unable to pur-
chase such securities as would be de-
manded by the trustees, and conse-
quently that they would be unable to
receive postal deposits.
