Of A number of regular Republicans was
introduced in the House TODAY by Repre-
sentative Gardner of New jersey. Mr..
Gardner is chairman of the subcommittee
on Postoffices and Post Roads which has
been considering the Senate bill for some
time The committee has thus far been
unable TO agree on a report to the full
committee. and Representative Gardner,
who entertains strong views on the sub
feet. has taken the bit in his teeth and de
cided to present a measure Of his own
It differs in several material respects
from the bill passed by the Senate and will
hardly meet the approval of many in the
upper body. It provides for the appoint
ment of board of trustees. as in the Sen
ate bill. but It differs in that It requires
that all savings deposits be placed in ma
tionel banks, excluding state banks and
savings institutions
Instead Of requiring the trustees to estab-
lish countrywide system of postal banks,
1t gives them discretion to establish the
banks where, in their judgment, they are
needed The bill also reduces the total
amount which may be deposited by an in
dividual from 500 to $500. AS soon as the
total amount Of deposits reaches & 900 900
the bill provides that s. per cent be with
drawn from the banks and invested IN
government securities, but no maximum
rate Of interest which the securities must
pay IS stipulated. The Senate bill provides
that only securities which bear nor less
than Pa per cent interest shall be so

BALLINGER WILL REMAIN
Has No Intention of Resigning
for the Present, at Least.
[From The Tribune Rureau ]

WASHINGTON, MAY 2-The prediction that
Secretary Ballinger will resign from the
Cabinet when the pending investigation is
completed and certain reforms he has in
mind. notably the reorganization of the
Reclamation Service, are carried out, may
prove to have been an excellent guess, but
II is not based on any assertion of the Of
fetal most interested.
II Is an equally safe prediction that as
long as the present fight on the Secretary
OF the Interior keeps Up he will not resign.
Judge BaIlnger has remarked to some Of
his friends that he purposed to secure JUS
tice from those who have so violently at
tackled his reputation whenever he could de-
vote 10 the effort the necessary time, and
he has also asserted that his time was so
occupied with the pending investigation and
the administration of his exceedingly com
pley department that he could not take the
legal steps necessary TO secure justice at
the present time.
It is doubtless as result of these asser-
tons that the deduction has been made
that when the investigation. is completed
Mr. Ballinger will resign his Cabinet port
folio and devote himself to such legal prose
cutio1s as in his Judgment the course of his
enemies may warrant.
In this connection the recent appeal of
President Taft for justice to the Secretary
of the Interior is notable as indicating that
Mr. Taft does not contemplate Mr. Bal
fingers early retirement from the Cabinet
The President IA kes the view that when he
wrote to both Mr.. Ballinger and Mr.. Pinchot,
binding them on honor not TO continue the
feud, which Injunction Mr.. Pinchot prompt
" and continuously violated, he uninten-
tionally did Mr.. Ballinger an injustice.
Mr. Pinchot. without either resigning his
Official position or declaring his determine
ton to continue the fight, availed himself
Of every possible means to dfscredit the
Secretary OF the Interior in the public
mind. Mr.. Ballinger. on the other hand
felt that as long as he remained a member
of the Taft administration his first duty
was loyalty 70 the President. and conse-
enemies OF Mr.. Ballinger two months-from
September Is, when President Taft issued
his first exoneration of his Secretary of the
Interior. until November 10, when Nj. Taft
returned from his Western trip-to inf1ame
public opinion. with no obstacle in the
nature of an exposition Of the facts from
Mr.. Ballinger.
obligations 10 Mr. Ballirger, quite apart
from the high estimation he places on the
Secretary's character and abilities. The
President would therefore, unquestionably
deprecate any suggestion that Judge Bal
linger resign from the Cabinet in the inne
date future

said in part;

would stand But when the plaintiffs In

wholesaler who shall sell to consumer

quite another case is presented An act-
