President Taft's postal savings
bank bill passed the Senate by
vote of Al to 25 at 5 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon.
1t will be signed by the President
to-day and will 60 into effect sixty
days later.
The passage OF the postal savings bank
bin is the third big legislative achieve
ment of the Taft administration in this
session Of Congress. the railroad bill and
the Statehood bin already being upon the
statute books.
Action yesterday by the Senate also
marked the elimination of efforts that
have been put forth more or less regu-
larly for thirty years for the establish
ment Of this banking system.
POstmasters General have come and
gone in the last quarter OF a century.
but the most of them have recommended
some sort of postal savings bank
system.
"Big stick" Back of 1t.
Many bills have been introduced in
Congress. but the subject never made
much headway until President Taft
threw the strength of his administration
behind It in the present session.
The adoption OF the system has. in

Indifference by a large part Of the Re
publican organization.
1t is the child of circumstances The
Republican national platform adopted
the postal savings bank plank ss an or
set 10 the Bryan government guarantee
proposition. With the Republican party
committed to the system, President Taft.
following his own belief in its efficiency,
has insisted against consideraOie odds

start to all parts Of the country. The
main purpose Of the legislation, as Presi-
dent Taft has viewed il, is 10 establish
banking facilities for poor people IN
parts of the country which now lack
savings repositories.
In speaking Of the passage OF the bill
last night, the President acknowledged
that the trustees probably would go slow
at first. They may, in the beginning II
was said. establish postal banks in one
