POSTAL SAVINGS SYSTEM
EXTENDED BY BURLESON
Deposit and Withdrawal of Funds
by Mail Pro-
vided For.

The usefulness of the postal savings
system has been greatly extended by
Postmaster General Burleson in the SIM
pliiicstion of the regulations covering the
deposit and withdrawal of savings by
mail. Postmasters are now being no.
titled of the changes, which will have the
effect of bringing the facilities of the
system to the door of every man. woman
and child in the United States.
Hereafter persons living in remote sec
tons may without difficulty become pa
irons of the postal savings system. and
make their deposits and Withdrawals by
mail. When postal savings banks were
first introduced, the department did not
permit citizen who was not a patron OF
a designated depository to open an ac-
count The disadvantage of this prac-
tice is pointed out in the following ex-
cerpts from letter to the Postmaster
General from a Saline county, Mo-,
farmer:
Having a few hundred dollars saved
from fifty years of hard and assduous
labor and skimping economy on the part
OF my wife and myself, We concluded to
deposit it in the postal savings bank of
Carthage, No. We wrote the postmaster
at that place and received a reply to the
effect that none but patrons of that
office could deposit in that office, which
is very disappointing news to us,
Our little farm is not large enough tc
support US and land is so high that il Il
impossible for us 10 buy more with what
little We have saved and We are SO old
that We can't labor much now and We
would be so glad to lay by at least
enough to put US away in decency.
-" Hoping that the people will de-
mand a postal savings bank that will
compel the powers that be to open to all
the people the privilege of saving their
little mites. I know that 1t may be pa
ternalistic. but a government that does
not look after the welfare of those who
do the work of the world falls short of
true democracy"

Into Treasury of Richmond.

RICHMOND, Va. July l6.-Justice
Crutchfield's court was packed like a

The justice retorted that when the
city licenses the sale of firearms ii
does not authorize murder.

The Erie railroad had not today with

contention that whatever award is rem
dered by arbitration on other roads must
also apply to Erie.

now in session in New York and will
insist upon the inclusion OF Erie IN the
proceedings. Unless the railroad agrees
to arbitrate a strike on the Erie system
