TECHNICAL ATTACK
ON SAVINGS BILL
Senator Bailey Declares People
Should Learn to Take Busi-
ness Chances

WASHINGTON. Feb. 24-Decfded
progress was made in the senate today
toward disposition of the postal savings
bank bill. In addition to striking
speech by Senator Bailey and an
aniendment Thy Senator Burton. which
is offered as a compromise of the va
.riousS differences on the question of
disposal of the funds arising from the
postal deposits, Senator Carter sue
ceeded. in getting March fixed for a
vote on. the bill.
Bailey discussed the different clauses
Of the constitution under which the
savings bank bill had found support.
Beginning with the. commerce clause
he declared it to be grotesque ab
surdity to say that such IN institution
as a postal savings bank system could
be established under it,
DECLARES MEASURE UNJUSTIFIED
He also entered upon extended argu-
ments- to prove that the measure was
not justified, either under the postof-
fee clause or the money coming clause
of the constitution,
IF you can bring money from its
hiding place in one way you can in
another he said. You have just as
much power to compel the citizen TO
SUpptNr money pN threatening MIN with
punishment as you have to tempt him
by guaranteeing to him a profit on it.
If you can employ premium you can
employ a penalty. You have no more
right to prescribe what a citizen shall
do with his money than you have to
say what he shall do with his land
He then attempted TO show that the
purpose of the bill was to encotrs ge
economy and thrift, and he quoted the
MESA ge of President Roosevelt of 1907
In support of this contention entering
upon an argument to snow that this
was not part of the duty of the gov
ernment, but was, on the other hand.
an unwarranted intrusion of the gov
eminent into. the affairs of dts citizens
FEARS CORPORATION INTRUSION
In this connection he referred to the
future possibility of bank legislation
and said that this intrusion of the gov
ernment into affairs of the people soon
would be followed by the intrusion of
private corporations in the affairs of
the government.
Entering then upon discussion Of
the abstract rights of citizenship, Bal
ley declared it was libel to say that
people could not take care of their own
money and declared that only through
struggle and suffering could a strong
people be developed. He contended
that people must learn TO take the
chances and stand upon their own re-
sponsibility in business affairs.

TO FIRE SENTINEL
Not Compelled to Pay Salaries
of Firemen, but License
May Be Increased

The theater do not have to pay the
salaries of the firemen employed to
watch behind the footlights when the
plays are on. The fire commission re-
ceived City Attorney Longs opinion to
this effect yesterday. Long suggested,
however, that it would be perfectly
legal to increase the license paid by
the theatres sufficiently TO cover the
cost of the sentinel duty. This sug-
gestion the commission duly forwarded
to the supervisors for the information
of the license and finance committees.
The board replaced Superintendent of
Horses w. J. Tobin with P. OConnell;
Corporation Yard Clerk p. II. Brandon
with James Pugh; Hydrantmen James
Shanagan and Charles Macdonald with
T. J. llagher and A. c. Laws, and re-
moved Assistant Clerk Z. l. Church
Tobin, O'Conne1I, Brandon and Pugh
were ordered back to their old COM
panies. Hostler II. Peterson was dis
missed and A Rapp named in his place.
The election commission named A. G.
knight as chief clerk in the registra-
tion office yesterday, to take the place
of Daniel J. Gordan, whose death from
tuberculosis occurred last week. The
resignation of Store Keeper V. j. Carl
baldi was accepted.
ELECTION RULES ADOPTED
Rules were adopted providing that at
least three in every eight precinct cleo
tion officers should be experienced men
and that all should be registered voters
in the precinct where serving.
The Rincon hill grade proposition
seems near solution. Before the super
visors' street committee yesterday the
representatives of the Yerba Buena I'm
provement company agreed with J. c.
Quinlan, A. Heynemann and J. J.
OiToole to recompense the IL property
owners who claimed damages aggre-
eating s63.575 if the proposed reduction
should be made. The regarding will be
in Hawthorne street and Second, and
the committee asked the finance COM
mittee to set aside $4,000 in next years
budget to do the street work.
BALKs AT $50 RAISE
Chairman Minehan in yesterdays
printing committee meeting refused to
accede to Supervisor Herget's proposal
that Sylvester O'Sullivan be appointed
to take care of the municipal typewrit-
ing machines at a monthly salary of
$3.50. Machinist Hodge said he did the
work now for 500 month and got
through the job each day with some
time to spare, and Minehan did not see
the reason for change.
The Peralta Heights improvement
club yesterday offered to buy $4,000
worth of the city's az per cent
bonds and the Silver Heights club Of
fered to take $4,000 worth if the
money might be expended in sewer ex-
tensions in their districts. The board
of supervisors will probably accept the
offers.
The Central trust company has ar
ranged with City Treasurer McDougald
to take a deposit of 100000 upon the
security of municipal and other bonds,
but the parties are awaiting the return
of Mayor Mccarthy before closing the.
transaction.
