Postal Banks Are
Notable Success
BY Congressman c., H. Tavenner


Washington, Dec. 19.-Some inter-
esting facts in connection with the op-
Grafton of the postal savings bank
were brought out in a recent debate
in the house over postoffice bill.
According to members familiar with
the figures the actual operation of the
system, which is now going on three
years of age, has shown:
That the postal banks have not
pulled money from local banks to any
extent.
That the bank is chiefly used in
cities having large percentage of
foreign born population, while in
small rural communities scarcely any
use is made of it.
That the money deposited in it is
chiefly savings that were formerly
boarded.
That the money deposited has not
been sent away to foreign countries
to any extent.
That the 2 per cent bonds offered
to postal bank depositors have not
proved to be popular investment.
That although the deposits are
steadily growing the bank, on paper
at least, has cost the government al
ready loss of nearly $1,OOO,OOO. The
service has cost $1,4S6,O0O. Against
this the government has received in
interest from banks selected as postal
depositaries $537,932. The difference,
or nearly $1,0O0,0O0, is net loss.
It was explained, however, that the
figures indicating expense are largely
bookkeeping entries, and do not in
volve the actual payment of money by
the government. This is due to the
fact that the postmasters of the coun-
try in transacting business with
Washington and with patrons in con-
nection with the postal bank use
distinctive stamp adopted by the de-
partment for this purpose. The use
of these stamps enables the postoffice
accountants to keep track of the num-
ber of letters handled in connection
with postal savings. Of course, the
use of these stamps is merely a book
keeping device, since postamsters do
not have to pay for them.
The banks of the country fought
long against postal savings. Now
they see that the system has been
a great benefit to them. 1t has brought
boarded money from hiding places to
the postoffice, which in turn has de-
posted it with the local banks. Of
the $32,5OO,OOO now on deposit with
the government 95 per cent has been
redeposited with local banks.
The postoffice department is now
turning it's attention to the problem
of ending the deficit in the postal bank
and making it show profit. This,
in the light of experience, it is be-
lieved can be done. In the first place,
the limit of $500 which it is permitted
any individual to deposit is too low.
The tendency is steadily toward larger
deposits by individuals. In 1912 the
average deposit was $83; today it is
$1O2. Accounts are frequently turned
away because the law forbids the ac-
ceptance of more than $500 in single
deposit. The department is asking
that the limit be removed altogether.
The department deposits the postal
savings with local banks, charging
