POSTAL SAVINGS BANK

Washington, Aug. 2. Omitted
Press. while Americans are won
dering when. where and how the
postal savings system is to be es-
tablished the untutored native may
wave his passbook and remark that
in the Philippines the postal savings
bank is an old thing. Whether
beads and clam shells and brass
rods are received as deposits is not
mentioned, but the main fact is that
the wards in the far of Pacific have
privilege not yet accorded their
guardians. ia
A recent report received at the
treasury department shows that
there are in the islands ESQ post
Offices at which deposits are re-
ceived. There we're 1881 deposit
ors and the amount was 1,621,275
pesos. or Philippine dollars, worth
so cents in United States money
The government in using the money
is protected by the guarantees OF
banks with which a part of the
postal funds have been deposited.
Investments have also been made
by the government officials, in
charge of the postal banks, in Ma
Mia city bonds and railroad bonds
and in first mortgages. Among the
depositors are 3.542 Americans, T.
700 Filipinos, 39S Europeans and
264 Asiatics. The rate of interest
on deposits is two and a half per
cent, but the government reserves
he right TO change the rate at the
md of any year.
The system has worked satisfac-

torily to all concerned. The Philip
pines were favored with postal
banks in advance of the states be-
cause they were not Obliged to
await action by congress. When
the president became convinced a
few years ago that postal savings
would be a good thing for the Fill
pinos he ordered the system estab-
lished and it was done. Congress
postponed action for years and it
was not until the closing hours of
the last session that a postal saw
ings law was passed.
The popularity of the law has
been proved by the great number of
letters from people asking that pos
tai banks be established in their
towns and from bankers asking that
a part of the deposit funds be
placed with them. The trustees of
the system, Secretary Franklin Mac
Veagh, of the treasury; Postmaster
General Frank II. Hitchcock and
Attorney General Wickersham. have
full authority to decide where and
when postal banks shall be estab-
lished. They have decided upon
nothing yet except that the post
office in this city shall be one to re-
ceive deposits in order that there
may be demonstration of the sys-
TEN under the eyes of congress.
A committee of experts appointed
by the trustees are working out the
details of the system, which are
many. and il is probable matters
viii be in such shape that the trus-
tees can take definite action in the
fall.

As a matter of fact, we suspect

the former instance the committee
probably would be justified in re-
