The agreement for vote during the

word Legislative before the word

longs the day In a legislative sense,
and at the same TIME leaves the agree
ment inviolate. There is every rea-
son to believe that the bill Will be
disposed of before the close Of the
calendar day. Tomorrow.
Tile bill to-day was under general
discussion under the suse of consider
ing amendments, and il Was sharply
criticized by many Senator's. a large
number OF amendments were adopted.
Most of them were along lines here
5tofore agreed upon, but there was
one innovation. Senator Page had
offered an amendment embodyins u
provision looking to the establish
ment of reserve fund in connection
with tho postal savings.
Mr.. Cummins attacked this provision
and procured the elimination OF the
reserve provision. His reason for the
change was the fear that the pro-
vision would tend to concentrate the
funds. His modification was adopted.
Among the amendments adopted was
one suggested by Senator Smoot in
accordance with last Saturdays con-
ference OF Republican leaders, regu-
lating withdrawal OF postal funds and
limiting the power OF the trustees in
the matter OF making investments to
the authority explicitly granted in the
bill itself.
The Smoot amendment and the Cum
Minis modification led to much general
debate. which will be continued to-

found in the bill "an adroitly framed
forerunner of a central bank" and
opposed 1t as undemocratic and I'M
republican,, and Senator Simmons, of
North Carolina, was afraid it would
SO operate as to deprive the various
communities OF their own funds.
Senator Gallinger thought that in
case of war the bank depositors would
make a dead rush to withdraw their
funds. Mr.. Beveridge believed the
government would take care Of its
own credit when the emergency arr
rived. Senator Bailey expressed the
opinion that the money Of the poor
should not be the first to be called
for in time of war. The poor do the
fighting: they should not be asked
to buy the guns" he said.
