The Money Question
By Dr.. Karl F. M. Sandberg

shall be held as reserve by the secre-
tary Of the Treasury. y
For the small depositor, 10-cent
stamps are sold which may be pasted
on a postal savings card that costs
1O cents and counts as a ten-cent de-
post. When the depositor has $1.00
in stamps, or multiples thereof, he
may open an account. Two percent in
terest Is paid on deposits, after one
year, while the government receives
IA percent interest from the pri-
vate banks, "a per cent less than
they pay to individuals. One-fourth
percent is calculated to pay the ,ex-
penses, but if this is insufficient the
general postal funds may be drawn
on.
In spite of the restrictions hamper
ing their operations the postal saw
ings banks are popular and long
step forward. It is claimed that by
the end Of this year, 1913, the depos-
its will reach $5Q,00O,000. There Is
also strong sentiment arising for
the removal of thes> limitations as to
the amount to be deposited by each
depositor. for the establishing of full
banking privileges and for direct loan
ing Of the deposits to the people in
stead of to the private banks.
The compulsory redepositing in pri-
vate banks enables these to use such
deposits as q basis for credit loans
to the extent Of many times their
amount. The interest on. these loans
will amount to many times the
amount received as interest on the
deposits in the postal savings banks
and most Of it will be In the last in
stance have to be paid by these same
depositors- through decreased wages
or increased expenses
The underground influence of the
private banks Is plainly evident in
the postal savings bank law, This, in
tended to be an instrument for the
relief and safety of the people, has
been made an additional instrument
to perpetuate its economic slavery.
The postal banks in spite of their
defects form the first foundation on
which to build government banking
system to replace the present disas-
trous private banking system. For
this reason we should all patronize
them and work for the enlargement
of their field of operations.

CAR WORKERS ON STRIKE

Pittsburg, March 6.-The members
of the Car Workers Union, at Bethle-
hem, Easton, and Parkerton, employed
by the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany, are on strike. Negotiations for
a new agreement have been in pro-
gress since the latter part of Octo-
Der, and was eventually followed by
the dismissal of the chairman of the
committee having the negotiations in
charge, and later by the discharge of
40 employees at Lehighton. by the
company for many years. The de-
mands Of the men, as provided for in
the new agreement submitted last Oc-

al. The Postal savings Banks.
Responding to insistent popular de-
mand Congress finally on June %,
1910, passed an act establishing postal
savings repositories. Ninety-five per-
cent of the deposits shall be re-depos-
tied in private banks. Through this
last provision private banks have been
enabled by means of the government
guarantee to get savings formerly hid
in old stockings, mattresses, etc. The
government guarantees repayment of
the deposits and when redepositing
them with private banks requires that
securities be given in return
No person is allowed to deposit
more than $4,000 in any one month
and not more than $500.00 all togeth-
er; but twice year, in June and De-
cember, the Board Of Trustees, COM

to withdraw their savings and invest

said: by the act of January IL, 1895,

SENATE CONDEMNS
PENSION MEASURE
Police Bill Backed by Patrol
mems Organization Called
"Double-Barreled Cum


TRENTON, N. j., April l-Honse
No All. the police pension bin, backed
by the patrolmen's State organiza
tion. got a walloping in the Senate
this morning. Not a single senator
voted for the bill, and seven voted in
the negative. The others did not
take the trouble to vote at all.
Senator Leavitt, of Mercer county.
spoke vigorously against the measure.
He said it was "a double-b -barrele1 /
gun" TO take public money for tho
benefit of the policemen's beneficial
association. when they should pro-
vide for their pensions out of their
own pockets, and to give the patrol
men control over their own superior
officers. If. be said, the citizens knew
what the bly, they would rise up as
one man against their own police de-
partment.
Senator Colgate said that the police
men of Newark were about evenly di.
vided on the measure, and as they
were not united he felt constrained
to vote against it.

passage of a bill in the House to-
day which will give Charles Ian
ming, proprietor Of a hotel in Bur-
lington, an opportunity to secure
liquor license in spite of the fact
that the hotel is within two hundred
feet of church, there was brought
to success the lobbying efforts of
Mr.. Lanning and his wife, both OF
whom have been active in the past
two weeks in urging House members
TO support the bill
For two weeks Mrs. Lanning, an at
tractive young woman, had not
missed House session. The Senate
has yet to act on the bill Some ques-
tion arose as to whether the Burling-
ton assemblyman, Mr.. Peacock, voted
on the bill. but he said he did not
and the clerk had not recorded him.
The argument against the measure
was that 1t was dangerous legislation
to pass bill to give just one man
a license The bill provides that the
building must be 200 feet in length.

to either affirm or deny the reilort,
but one of his close friends said that
someone was playing an April fool

The solution of the vexed question.
as settled at a lengthy conference

Two new House bills were to have

selection of jurors by the sheriff and
the other for jury commissions APP
pointed by the Circuit Court. Both
were to have a referendum clause and
he whole question was to be given to
the people for settlement. The voters
could choose which plan they pre-
ferred
But the House would not adopt this
scheme unless Mr.. Fielder agreed to
sign both bills.
When he was asked today whether
Mr.. McDermott would obtain from
him the assurance that he would not
kveto the sheriffs' bill he answered
promptly and firmly:
He win get no such assurance

Then he added.
