AN AGREEMENT REACHED

Especial to The Herald-Repubican
Washington, Feb. 1S.-Senators AldriCh
of Rhode Island and Smoot OF Utah were
guests of President Taft at luncheon to-
day and during the meal tentative pro-
gram Of legislation was discussed, which
1t is believed will be carried out in sub
stance to the satisfaction Of the Presi-
dent and the fulfilment of the party
pledges.
ing Senators Aldrch and SmOOt to lunch
with him, was to talk over with them
the status of the postal savings bank
bill. The bill has been before the Senate
for two weeks and has made but lndlt-
1erent progress.
The Presidents Request.
President Taft today asked Senator
SmOOt TO withdraw his amendment to the
bill on the ground that if carried it might
make the law unconstitutional. The
amendment provides that the deposits in
the postal savings banks must be re
deposited by the government in deposit
DRY banks in the same communities where
they are placed with the government,
and that they must remain with these
depository banks SO long as the banks
are willing to pay the "a per cent interest
prescribed in the bill The object of the
amendment is to make it impossible to
concentrate the postal deposits in the
large money CenteTS and create a money
StringenCY in the outlying districts.
It is the opinion of the President that
this amendment is subject to legal OBJ
JectiOns and might render the whole
measure unconstitutional. He is in sym
patty with the object that Senator SmOOt
tries 10 reach, but fears the legality of
the means, Senator SmOOt assured the
President that if there is any danger of
il making the law unconstitutional he
would withdraw the amendment He is
TO confer with Senators Garter, Aldrich
and Root regarding it, and there is lit
lie doubt that the proposition will be
dropped.
Other Bills Likely TO Pass.
Senator Smoot is also chairman of a
Subcommittee of the Senate committee
on public lands, entrusted with the duty
OF drafting conservation bills that will
command the support of the western SEN
atOrs. The President talked with him on
this subject and it was shown that their
Ideas We're so nearly Identical that there
would be no difficulty in framing a
measure that viii meet with the Presi-
dents approval and which viii get the
votes of the senators who represent west
ern states. Interstate commerce Iegisla-
ton, statehood and the anti-iniunctiOn
bills We're also discussed and 1t was found
that the expectations of the President
We're not unreasonable according to the
views of MesSrs. Aldrich and SmOOt SEN
etor Aldrlch gave it as nj SOpiniOn that
All OF this legislation, or at least the
bulk Of 1t, would be enacted at this ses-
800 e'4i'A t4lt't IL Mbulu IN III SuCn TOLIn
as TO meet with the approval of the ex-
eCutiVe.
