SAVINGS BANK.

The postal savings bank bill was passed only after much discussion and amendment and was severely criticised though in lesser degree. by numbei of the same people who are now wig orously opposing the currency bill.
 It was faulty measure at best but even 'pruned" as it was when our leeislators were through with it, it's beneficial features have stood the test of time and now some amenuments are proposed that will be great improvement.
 If these amendments pass, and there is considerable likelihood of their do. ing so, the deposit limit will be rais- ed to $l.000. Interest will be but two per cent. as before. but on. amendment provides that instead of merely re-depositing the deposits in a bank, where they could of course be re-loaned by the banks at an i'm mense profit. these deposits may be borrowed, at three per cent interest. by counties. cities, towns. villages, townships. school districts. etc. for the construction of public works.
 This is an innovation, a much need ed one. It will in many cases obviate the necessity of bonding a public tax ing body. and the low rate of interest will facilitate the payment of the debt.
 Lewis. of Maryland. and Buchanan, of Illinois, are the public sponsors of these bills-both intelligent wide awake men. The people will surely back them in the endeavor to secure for the workers the benefits of their own money.

Why this provision has not previous Iy 'een altered is quite obvious. The farmer is dependent for pre-crop loa9s upon the small banker, who in turn k dependent upon the big city banks and the city bankers are, by gfoutts. subject to some one man or very sntal, group of men.

TELEGRAPH AND CABLE.

The heads of the war department and the Post Office department have 1nited in asking that the Alaska tele- graph and cable system be transferred from the war to the postal department It would seem more fitting that the news of the world should come through the post office department. and the service would no doubt bo extended to reach every regular post office. It is hardly likely that con gress will raise any serious objections, as this move is in line with the pre- sent agitation for the government ownership of telegraph and telephone lines. under the control of the postal department
 The execrable service and exorbi- tant rates of the existing companies have forced the people to consider the taking over of these lines by the gov ernment. In fact. so serious has the agitation grown that dispatches" and articles" have begun to appear con corning the dissatisfaction with the government telegraph iH Eneland These dispatches are quite without ed by individuals and companies whose private graft the governments pos session would surely destroy
 American consuls and economists who have studied the British system have praised 1t highly and with req son. At present the British minimum charge is 12 cents for sending 12 words any distance. The average tele- gram in Great Britain costs from 15 to 16 cents. the message sent regard less of distance. Compare this with the American minimum charge of 2 cents for 10 words and that only for short distances.
 The British press rate is so low about cents per hundred words that even the smallest papers can af- ford the telegraphic news service
 These low rates have been made possible by many labor and time say. ing inventions. among them the auto matic sender. a machine little used ir the United States as it would necessi- tate the discarding of the old ma chimes. and thus entail a loss of in- vestment.
