osTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

The trustees of the postal bank
system announce that they will
establish postal savings banks in
forty-eight cities about the first
of January, 1911. Postmaster
General Hitchcock, Secretary OF
the Treasury McVeagh and At
torney General Wickersham con-
stitute the board of trustees en-
trusted with the duty of putting
this system into practice. Mis-
sissippi will have only one bank,
which will be located at Gulf
port.
While we believe that the PEG.
pie should be encouraged to take
care of a certain part of thei,
earnings and lay up a certain pei
cent. of it for a rainy day, YET
we doubt the practicability Of
the government going into the
banking business.
Under the national bank sys,
TEN and the state laws, the peo'
pie are afforded every facility fol
depositing their earnings at
rate of interest above that which
the. government will pay. Boil
the state and national banks
have savings departments whert
sums from one dollar up will bt
taken and interest at a per cent
paid depositors. Since the estab
lishment of the savings depart
ment, the people have taken ad
vantage of the opportunity thus
afforded and millions of dollars
have found their way into tn
banks through this means. This
money thus finds its way int
the channels of business and aug
ments the circulation in the com
munity and adds to the opportu
nifty of investors and business
men generally.
The business public will go t.
the banks for loans rather thar
to the postal department, and il
is doubtful if the government
will be able to make the system
