POSTAL SAVINGS THROUGH SENATE

The postal savings bank bill has
gone through the Senate in better
shape than could have been expected.
1t is distinct victory for the insur-
gents. They appear to have drawn
the fangs of the Root amendment by
the simple device of prohibiting the
investment of the postal bank deposits
in securities drawing less than two
and one-fourth per cent interest. This
shuts out the bonds whose redemp-
tion through the postal savings de-
posits the Root amendment would
have permitted resultant drain of
cash toward Wall Street. When they
had gotten this section in shape the
insurgents and their allies were ready
to vote for the provision which allows
the President in war or any emergency
which involves the national credit, to
withdraw postal deposits from banks
for investment in bonds of the United
States. This connects the postal bank
with the borrowing power of the
Government and makes it constitu
tional.
Another good provision CT the bill
as passed is that it allows savings
banks and trust companies doing a
banking business to accept the postal
deposits. If the savings banks should
do this they would in a measure be
working against themselves in that
they would accept deposits from the
Government instead of from the in.
dividual. But they might be doing a
good stroke of business for themselves
at the same time. Suppose a man
gets the maximum amount in postal
bank, he is not going to lose the saw
ing habit. He is quite likely to look
out for bank which will accept more
money and which will pay him a
little more interest. He will prob
ably go to one of the savings banks
which are getting postal deposits,
arguing that if the bank is good
enough for the government, it is good
enough for him. Thus the postal
bank will have made a customer for
the savings bank, one who perhaps
never made savings deposit before.
The vote upon the postal bank
shows the Democratic Senators in the
rear as usual. All but one of them
voted against the bill, though their
party has made point of demanding
postal banks for years. The Republi-
cans who voted for the bill are en-
couraged. They figure that the re-
suit is indicative of the strength of the
Taft Legislative program. If the
House shall, as is expected, accept
the Senate bill, the President will
have gained a working knowledge of
the men in Congress who are helping
to redeem aud check off his pledges
to the people. The insurgents play
ed their part we'll Minneapolis
