NOT 4 PORK BARRFL.-

The opening OF two pork barrels
by Congress in one year is out Of the
ordinary. the usual custom being to
alternate them-the rivers and hsr-
bors bill one year and the public
building bill the next. according to the
dispatches.
II isn't fair to call the public build
ing bin by the name used to designate
the rivers and harbors measure. 1t
isn't a pork barrel by any means.
but money legitimately appropriated
to furnish buildings in which Uncle
sam can do business.
The government derives the benefit
itself and is sometimes too niggardly
I'm providing for its own wants. Eight
years ago work was begun on federal
building here in salt Lake. and by the
time it was finished the business had
outgrown the quarters and an addi-
tiona1 appropriation became necessary
in order to secure more room for the
government employees.
The rivers and harbors bill, having
passed. was being used as a club to
beat the public building bill. but evil

deadlocked and unable to report a
bill.
Now that the end is in sight the
House bill as finally reported is the
favorite and win doubtless become a
law The benefits TO be derived un-
der this measure were summed up by
the chairman Of the banking and cur
rency committee Of the House, Mr..
vreeIand. while It was under discus
sion by that body.
First II will provide a place for
the savings OF the millions of very
small depositors in the United States
living where no mutual savings banks
exist
Second. tt will furnish a place for
the deposit of money and Of savings
in nearly 10000 small communities
where no banks now exist.
Third. 1t will furnish a place for
the deposits Of foreigners, who are
educated to believe in government de-
positories. and for the small number
Of people who are afraid Of all banks.
Fourth. Judging from the history
OF its operation I'm other great coun-
tries. this law viii add millions OF dol
lars. and in time hundreds Of millions
Of dollars. TO the available business
capital of the country.
Fifth. It will encourage habits of
thrift and economy. especially among
children. students and people Of small
means.
Mr.. Vreeland is a convert 70 the
postal savings bank idea and frankly
stated that two years ago he would
have opposed it. but since becoming a
member of the currency commission
he has given the subject much thought
and has investigated the systems OF
other countries and his eyes have beer
opened.
Among other things he learned thai

Mr. Gladstone. through whose ef
forts the act was adopted, was Away
proud or his share I'm the good work
and when nearing the close Of his re
markable career had this to say abou

/ The pOstoffiCc savings bank is tn

years for the welfare Of the pco
pie and the state. I consider tn
act Of 1851. which called the In
stitution into existence. as In
most useful and fruitful Of m

Postal savings banks were not 81
much a necessity I'm this country fift

CATS PUT on WATCH.

The manager OF the United states
Steel corporation at Cary. Ind. recent
" advertised for cats at so cents pen
head. It was considered somewhat
remarkable that rats could have any
possible connection with the produc-
ton Of steel. but the explanation was
simple enough.
a few weeks ago rats got into the
intricate workings of the blast furnace
commutators. AS a result part of the
steel plant was tied up for several
hours. 1000 workmen in this depart
ment were idle, and the company lost
more than $4,000.
Enormous damage often results
from the slightest of causes, the tying
up OF the steel plant being a good IL
| lustration. Those unfamiliar with the
| intricate machinery in the immense
buildings at Gary would jump at the
conclusion that such an occurrence
would be impossible, but it actually
took place and the cats were put on
watch to prevent a like catastrophe in
/ future.
The only danger is that the cats
may also get tangled up with the ma
| chinery.

KEEP THE DEATH LIsr Down.

At q meeting in salt Lake the other
night the sane and safe" Fourth Of
July proposition was under discussion.
one man objected to that part Of the
program providing for the reading Of
the Declaration Of Independence be
cause at one time in his career he had
heard IL read in a close room.
His objection is noted, but we can
not get back to old-time principles
without listening to the immortal
Declaration. As a matter Of fact. it
isn't read often enough, and to elmi-
nate It from a Fourth OF July pro-
gram would be a blunder. Some war
rior once observed that a blunder was
worse than a crime. In a case Of this
