WHAT CONGRESS HAS DONE.

A review OF the last session Of The
SiXty-rif3t Congress yesterday showed
that the House had enacted an uo
usually large numbar OF bills OF public
importance. The Senate. however,
presented record OF much talk and
little action.
Viewed in tho light Of past perform
ances OF the House during short
sessions, the racord IS unusual IN
hfty-hvs legislative days. the House
has not only disposed Of fifteen ap-
preparation bills, agsresati1g about
$500, 100000 bit also the following
bills; Canadian reciprocity
Permanent tariff board.
Apportionuent OF representatives,
for the next House (ths Crumpacker
bill, fixing the membership i, 433,
instead Of 3ql, as at present.
Selecting San Francisco as the sits
ior the Pauaua-Pacifc Exposition Of
1915.
The Moou bill codifyinv the judici-
airy laws
The Mann bill establishing ! psrma-
nent form Of government on the canal
zone,
The Lowden bill, for purchase BY the
government, Of buildings abroad for
American embassies, legations and con-
sulates.
The Sulloway pension bill appropria-
ton about S45, O0Q, 900 annually.
The first two OF these wer- part OF
the legislative programme urged by
President Taft, The exec ne'5 p!:a
for ship subsidy, or ocean n.il bill,
was disregarded.
Among the thousands OF other meas
tres that died with the session were
the reports ofthe Joint committee which
investigated the Bailinger-PiDchot con.
troversy, and the resolution to give
congressional thanks and tho rank Of
a retired admiral to Captain Robert Z.
PearY, as discorersr OF the North
Poe.
The Senate allowed nearly three
months of the session to pass without
doing any work Of importance.
Speeches took the place OF legislation.
The Lorimer case furnished unlimited
material for the constitutional lawyer
aud the soaring orator. The resolu-
ton for the election OF senators by the
people and the reciprocity agreement
we're good fields for oraiorlcal reyels.
The Senate passed the Gallinger ship

Savings Banks as Upbuilding Factors

managed by trustees, who invest the
funds In securities designated by the
legislature. and paying interest to de-
positors out of the earnings of the
bank less expense incurred.
In our State, as also throughout
the South, are savings banks having
capital invested by the stockholders,
who elect directors to manage their
affairs. x savings bank properly
looked after is the greatest factor
for the upbuiiding of any community.
Its best and greatest function is to
encourage the possession of homes
which anyone can acquire by prac-
ticing economy. depositing his saw
ings. allowing the principal and in
terest to accumulate and then secure
a loan from the bank to complete the
purchase OF his home. being hence
forth an owner instead of a renter.

The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1911-01-28

Tho history of savings banks In the
United States dates back to- the year
1916, when the Provident Institu-
ton for Savings was organized in
Boston. This was one year earlier
than the establishment Of savings
banks In England. which were sane
toned by act of Parliament in 1917.
The original idea for savings banks
was the safeguarding 9th -uacutey
of the people. encouraging thrift and
independence among persons Of small
means. No better Institution was ever
created TO elevate humanity and to
promote material and Intellectual
progress. How we'll the savings banks
have performed their function is best
evidenced by the many hundreds OF
millions deposited by people through
out this country. The New England
States, as well as the State OF New
York. have followed the original plan
Of making the savings banks mutual
institutions, having no capital stock.
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1911-01-28

luteiy secure, because in every well
regulated savings bank the officers
who handle the funds are bonded,
the State banking department re-
ceives not less than five reports each
year giving the minutest details. and
the examiner is liable to come In any
day without previous notice.
But above all. the men who are
elected to direct in these banks are.
as a rule. men Of integrity and rep
utation, and attend to their duties.
With these precautions the money
of the people is made secure, so there
is never any excuse for hiding money
in supposedly safe places which are
found when too late, to be insecure
against theft and fire. The public
should encourage the savings bank to
make every dollar do its full duty.
The result win be seen in a prosper
GUS independent and iaw-abiding
community. l. z. MORRIS.
