Postal Savings Bank Proves a Success

DY Jan. 1 the trustees of the postal
- savings banks expect to have
postal savings bank established in ev-
cry first, second and third class post
office in the entire country. All Of
the first and second class offices have
already been so designated, and the
designation of third class offices is on
and will continue at the rate of 100
a day until exhausted. This means
that more than 1000 postofices in the
United States are now receiving de-
posits in their postal banks for which
the government pays per cent per
annum interest, or, If the depositor
chooses to buy government bonds with
his deposits, 21a per cent. The Off
cials in charge of the work in the post
office department know that the sys-
TEN has been a tremendous success,
far exceeding thier expectations, and
they are bending their time and ener-
gy for the present to an extension of
the benefits of the service.
On Jan 3 last, the postal savings
bank system of the United States was
started by the designation Of one sec
ond class office in each of the 48
states and territories of the country
as a postal savings bank. Progress
beyond this point wac slow at first

sion is well in hand designations are

fore congress at the very outset Of

winter in a legislative way was the
view expressed by Senator Bristow Of

Gently returned from a visit to the
canal zone.
Senator Bristow summed up his i'm
preston of the canal and the work be-
ing done on 1t with one word: Great" :"
He commends in the highest terms
the efforts of those in charge of the
construction of the canal. He expects
to see it opened in 1918.
"The matter Of tolls and regulations
should be settled this session, said
he. "Those who are looking forward
to the use of the canal want to know
what they can expect. The fixing of
the tolls is the chief problem. It is
the most important question relative
to the canal to be worked out. And
the tolls should be fixed by legisla-
ton. If they are left to regulation,
the executive can change them in
twenty-four hours. They should be
put on a permanent basis and it must
be done by congress"
Senator Bristow is advised that
there are numerous shipping and com
mercial interests which are waiting
only for action by congress with re-
spect to tolls and regulations before
preparing to put on lines Of ships

Panama Canal Tolls Up to Congress

tolls for American vessels in the
coastwise trade is one Of the momen'
tous phases of the problem.
Just at what figure to fix the tolls.
Senator Bristow pointed out, is some
thing difficult to work out. Many in.
teresting and important factors enter
into the solution. 1t Is expected that
the canal will cost $3,O0O,000 or more
a year to maintain. This sum ought
to be made up by tolls. If feasible, he
says.
"The problem is to put the tolls at
the point where they will bring in the
most revenue" said the senator,
Ships, for instance. between the east
coast of the United States and the
west coast of South America naturally
will use the canal But II the tolls
are fixed too high vessels starting
from or going to points far down on
the Pacific coast of South America
will go around the Horn in preference
to using the canal. II the tolls are
sufficiently low most of the business
will pass through the canal.
THE same thing is true as to yes
sells between Europe and the west
coast of South America. High tolls
will drive many of these vessels
around the Horn. while low tolls will
bring many of them through the canal
On the rate of tolls will depend, too
whether vessels from Japan bound for
Europe use the canal or go by way OF
Suez. Many points have to be con
sidered, therefore, in fixing the tolls
Senator Bristow believes the canal
will be a success. He does not eX
pect an enormous business through II
at the outset He points out that this
business will be a growth, just as in
the history of all waterways. He esti
mates that a million tons Of traffic
now carried by the Panama Railroad
and the Tehauntepec line and other
trans continental lines will be turned
into the canal without delay, and that
the proportions of the business will
develop gradually
