The administrations postal savings
bank bin passed the Senate yesterday
afternoon by practically a party vote,
but attached TO it was an insurgent
amendment.
The amendment. introduced by Senator
Borah. Of Idaho. limits the investment
OF postal savings funds to United States
bonds bearing at least ~ per cent in
terest. This will prevent the use of the
deposits in taking up the sos. co., 600 OF
per cent bonds now held by the ma
tlonal banks as security for circulating
notes
The insurgents contend that they have
gained decided victory in the passage
of the bill IN its present form. The Re
publican leaders in the Senate. on the
other hand, say that they had votes
enough to defeat the Borah amendment.
but thai they accepted # rather than
delay the passage of the bin and split
the Republican vote on this important
measure.
In the opinion OF the organization lead
ers. it was most important that Presi-
dent Taft should have the substantial
support of the Republican party in the
Senate vote on this bill It was the first
big measure, with the exception OF the
Payne-Aldrieh tarin Law. that he had
urged before Congress. and the Republl-
can party was pledged to il in the ma
tionaI PLATFORM.
Nobody, be he insurgent or regular. be-
lieyes that the acceptance of the Borah
amendment has settled the struggle over
the postal savings bank bin in the Senate.
Both sides regard il apparently as tenn
porary settlement Of an unpleasant stu
alton.
Insurgents VIII Fight On.
The insurgents are convinced that the
organization leaders accepted the amend
ment merely with the intention OF throw
ing it overheard when the bin goes TO con-
ference. The Democrats openly charged
on the floor or the Senate to-day that
