SAYS POSTAL SAVINGS BILL
is UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Senator Rayner, Of Maryland, Credited
as Expert, Points to Glaring
Flaws In IL.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-With Justly
blows Senator Rayner. (Dem., Md,
who is accredited with deep knowl-
edge OF the constitution, handled the
postal savings depository bill In the
senate yesterday.
1t has not a constitutional leg to
st2nd on or q constitutional peg to
hang from, according to Rayner, and
IL by any chance IL Is enacted, and
sustained in court. the precedent will
be a menace TO American institutions.
He would not discuss the desirable
ity OF creating postal savings depos-
itories. Rayner said, but would give
attention 10 the question whether legis-
lation creating them was authorized
by the constitution. His answer was
emphatically in the negative.
1T is said that the government" OBJ.

lie a bank or charter a bank. or

ing Wise in Political Way.

Lurden of an informal talk by Mayor
Breitmeyer before the Detroit real es-
tate board. Of winch he is an associate
member, in the annual meeting and
dinner in the Hotel Pontchartrain,
Monday evening The mayors plea
Tor economy was rather in contrast Ia
some OF his earlier declarations before
the same body. Evidently he had dis
covered that a high tax rate is not
popular with the people and. least CT
all with the real estate men.
IF the tax rate Ia 90 high, every
body is going to blame the mayor, you
know" continued his honor And
that's pretty big load for one man ~

fast as Detroit. a great many improve
nents and extensions are necessary,
and TO keep the tax rate low IL will be
necessary to raise assessments OF
economic In the matter OF improve
nents. Perhaps You real estate men
can help us decide which is best To
do. want You to give me all thu
assistance YOU can"

OF estimates. later gave brief talks. In
which both urged that the 1910 budget
he given the closest scrutiny.
"Overtax the poor taxpayer and you
destroy the growth Of the city," de-
clared Mr. Hannnn.
Following these talks, Mayor Brett
meyer again took the floor and said:
Il regret that there are not on the
board OF estimates today more men
like Mr.. Hannah and Mr.. Holden, that
only the necessary things might be
allowed and the others cut out. Per-
haps these things are not looked after
now Just as they should be-"
Retiring President Lester r. Wise,
I'm his annual report, suggested the
employment OF an attorney to keep the
board in couch with the common coun-
CHS dcings and Other civic happenings
m which II ought to be interested.
During the year % new active men,
bers and g associate members were
added.

OF the board. was elevated to the presl-
Gency. other officers elected were:
Vice-president, Walter C. Woolley, Of
the Hannah Real Estate exchange;

senger & Moore Qe-elected); treos-
urer, George Il. Bader.
From every standpoint the meeting
was one IF the most successful In tho

ceptionally elaborate and well served
menu.

tlonal Packing Co. Bought New

CHICAGO, Feb. 8.-Charges that the
National Packing Co. borrowed So
100000 from Kuhn, Loeb & Co. with
which to purchase enough stock to
control the Now York Dressed Beef
Butchers association were probed
yesterday by the federal grand fury
investigating the alleged packing
trust. Frederick Joseph. president or
the association. and Arthur Block and
Aaron Buchbaum. two of its organic
ers, appeared at the federal building
In response to subpenas issued by the
grand jury.
The New York Dressed Beef asso-
citation was originally an independent
concern. The government charges
that the sole reason that the National
Packing Co got control OF this asso-
citation was in order to stife competi-
ton In the eountry's metropolis.
The absorption OF the dressed beef
association removed from the field
the strongest competitor Of the Ma
tional company in the east and the
government is said to be seeking TO
prove that this absorption constituted
an overt act In violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
The government alleges that Ed

loan by which the dressed beef con-
Germ was taken over. o

that no one here knew about II until
his successor arrived. Thompson
gives iil-health as his reason for re-
