The February circular Of the National
City Bank, in discussing the new postal
savings bank system. said:
bank law has raised an interesting ques-
ton Section 2 of the statute authorizes
tho board Of trustees 10 invest an amount
OF postal savings funds not exceeding ~
per cent IN bonds or other securities OF
the United States. Section 10 further au-
thorizes the trustees 10 invest IN postal
savings bonds whenever such bonds may
he lawfully issued" II Is held by the legal
advisers Of the Secretary Of the Treasury
that these provisions authorize the issue Of
such bonds by the Treasury under the con
ditions named for purposes OF investment on
the part of the trustees OF the postal saw
ngs system.
Under the opinion Of the Solicitor Of the
Treasury the trustees have the same du-
thority TO invest 30 per cent Of the postal
deposits IN postal bonds as they nave 10
invest such funds in bonds or other securi-
ties Of the United States. For this purpose,
therefore the postal bonds may be Issued
directly 10 the trustees under the regula-
tlons Of the Secretary Of the Treasury.
This amounts 70 a discovery or new
power In the Treasury which IN the course
Of time may he a valuable one. lf al TINS
moment the acCumuia tiOns Of postal saw
ings funds amounted 20 large sum. the
Treasury and the postal savings trustees
would be in position 10 issue the "a per
cent postal savings bonds, which have 10
for 80 per cent Of such deposits.
This would. Of course, augment the gen
eral fund in the Treasury and would at TINS
time n the funds were available, solve the
difficult problem which has confronted the
Secretary OF the Treasury with reference
10 the protection OF the large outstanding
issues OF > per cent bonds. the position OF
which would be endangered by resort 10

tained in the tariff ac, OF August 8 1909.

The news OF the vast expenditures to 70

the fact that the rate cases have not vet
