The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1910-02-18

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17-The adj
ministration railroad bill, amending
the interstate commerce act. originally
introduced in the house by Repre-
sentative Townsend of Michigan, was
reintroduced by him today with
number of important amendments
drawn by Attorney General Wicker
sham. These change the bill in the
matter of the creation of the court of
commerce, in the regulation of stocks
and bonds, and in the inclusion of
electric railroads.
The amendment relating to the
commerce court limits its power to
that of a federal circuit court This
amendment was drafted to meet the
objection made to the original pro-
vision that the court would have more
extensive jurisdiction than the ex-
listing circuit courts of the United
States. The stock and bond provis-
ion is amended so 9s to permit the
reorganization OF railroads ana the
merger of railroads not directly pro-
hibited The act establishes the gem
eral principle that no stock shall be
issued by railroads except at par, and
no bonds except at their reasonable
market or selling value ascertained by
the interstate commerce commission
and where either stock or bonds are
paid for in property, it's fair value
must be ascertained by the commits
sion.
Issue of Stocks and Bonds.
One section deals specifically with
the issue of stocks and bonds on the
reorganization of existing companies
and authorizes the issue of stock to
an amount not exceeding the aggre-
gate of the stock of the company re-
organized and bonds to the amount
not exceeding the outstanding bonds
and other obligations, including new
money paid in, provided the aggregate
interest charges to be paid by the re-
organized company do not exceed the
aggregate existing interest charges.

ed by the controller of the currency
and not upon an exhaustive examlna-
ton as to the saving facilities AFFORDED
by the banks generally throughout the
country. The controllers report is
almost entirely confined to the mutual
or trustee savings banks, or banks
without capital, most Of which were
organized many years ago, and nearly
all of which are, situated in the middle
and New England states.
1.-THE National Monetary commission
sent out blanks to every bank in the
United States asking first whether
they maintained a savings department,
ard If so, for a tabulation showing
the number of sov.ngs deposits.
Foreign Trade of Little Weight.
"a third argument in favor of pos
tai savings banks is that they win
dissuade foreigners from sending their
earnings to- their native lands This
argument has always seemed to me to
be of very little weight. I think it far
preferable to educate the newly arrived
foreigner to American methods, rather
than to accommodate our methods to
his inexperience. However, these for
eigners who come here intending 70
make the United States their perman-
ent home, adopt American customs
and constitute a very large body of
our bank depositors. Witness the
Scandinavian American banks, the
German American banks, the Hibernia
savings banks established in almost
every community and largely patron
lied by men eff these nationalities.
"It may be asserted without fear of
successful contradiction, that postal
savings banks will draw funds to the
large commercial centers. thereby
greatly interfering with local develop
ment l am aware that the Carter
bill now being considered by the Uni
ted States senate, has been amended
so as to provide for the depositing of
the postal savings in certain national
and state banks as near as possible u
points designated as repositories, who
either give a surety bond or deposit
with the government certain designat-
2A per cent interest on the deposits.
1T may be confidently asserted that
a majority of the people who favor
postal savings bank. never get SO far
as to consider how the funds are to be
employed. The idea of having the
government receive repositories is at
tractive to them. But it should be
remembered that is only one-half
of the banking function. It is just as
important that these deposits shall be
returned to circulation in the localities
where they belong, as it is that there
les, and this second half of the bank
ing function the government has no
facilities for performing. That is the
fundamental weakness of the whole
scheme. Even if the public debt was
available for the employment of the
funds, we would not want the savings
of all the scattered localities gathered
up and sent to Washington for invest

Hits Hard at

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 1T.--A1aking

Of the postal savings bank, 2. G..

addressed the monthly meeting of the
Portland Credit Mems association at
the Portland hotel. The speakers sub
5ect was us a System of Postal Saw
irigs Banks Desirable?" He was most
positive I'm his negative view of the
matter.
In his paper Mr.. Kaufman first adj
Elitted that public opinion seemed to
favor the plan strongly. He outlined
first the principal arguments of those
tavoring the system. FIRST he said.
the claim was made that society bene-
ited as a whole through being taught
To save and to practice thrift and econ
omy, but held that this was even now
being done by the present system of
kauking He spoke in part as follows:
1.-The second, and L should say the
principle argument of the advocates OF
tic postal savings bank system is, it
HiII furnish repositories for savings
la remote districts now absolutely de-
prived of such facilities.
This argument is based entirely up
on the assertion that very large por
tsOn of the United States is entirely
without savings bank facilities l
grant you that if the truth of this as
scrtion can be substantiated, and the
proposed savings bank legislation
der constitutional limitations, there
couId be no argument advanced that
could prevent the enactment of some
one OF the pending bills. This argn-
Hsent, therefore, is the crux of the
whole proposition. Let US give it a
careful thoughtful and thorough con-
s:deration.
Taft's Views Made Known.
President Taft, in his message, and
Postmaster General Hitchcock. in his
annual rapport. urging upon congress
the passage of legislation providing for
the establishment Of a system of pos
tai savings banks, use as their main
argument the assertion that SO per

deposited in the banks of IA states,
which fact they claim proves conclu
siveIy the necessity Of the establish
mcnt of additional savings facilities
throughout the remaining sections of
the country. arguing that these facili
tees would be readily supplied by the
adoption of a postal savings bank sys-

III there is any affirmative weight

that very large portion of the popu-
ALTON of the United States and very
large section of the country are abso-

snd that the duty, therefore, devolves

them. The main trouble with the ar
