Post Offices To Do
Banking Business By
Mail On July lSt

st. Petersbur, May 22-Postmaster
General Burleson has forwarded to
all postmasters Of the country, Dul-
letins which authorize the Inaugural
ton of a banking by mail system
on July /. This, it is calculated
will be of the most important eX-
tension of the postal savings de-
nartment for several years. Post
master Hanna has been fully ad-
vised of the chan yes to be made,
which give persons living at dis
lance an opportunity to make de-
posits of funds in the postal savings
denartment of the local postoffice'
which heretofore were not permitted
to do so.
The new ruling will make avail
able banking facilities for all persons
in the United States of 10 years OF
age or over.
postal savings deposits in the past
have been accepted only from regu-
lar patrons of a postoffice and the
residents OF sparsely settled COM
munities where the postofilces nave
not been designated as postal saving
hanks have been without the bank
ing service. Under the new plan
nerson who resides where there Is
NO regularly designated postal saw
ings bank may obtain credentials
from his local postmaster and for
ward these to the nearest postoffice
that has been authorized to accept
deposits.
DEPOSITS May Be Doubled.
Tho denositor then will be given
normission to forward his first and
subsequent deposits by money order
~ registered mail direct to the post
master at his banking point. Inc
postmaster will send the deposltor
his receipts and certificates Of depos-
il by mail. The depositor may with,
draw all or any part of his postal
savings by mail at any time

poorest showing in the registration
of births are Craven, Currituck, Cam
den, Robson, BERTHE, Jones, Duplin,
Lee and Lenoir.
According to the State Board of
Health, it is not a question of race
suicide, but simply one of obeying
the law. North Carolina has vital
statistics law and just as some peo-
pie obey laws better than others,
some counties and some cOmmuni-
ties show the same attitude.
If we didn't know better, we
would expect New Bern, according
to her own figures, to disappear from
the map within the next generation"
says statement of the board just
issued.
AS to the towns reporting best
on deaths, perhaps Raleigh leads,
with Asheville as close second.
Then comes Wilmington and Char
lotte. The next to follow are Rocky
Mount, New Bern, Winston-Salem,
Greensboro, Durham and High Point.
1t is evident that these towns
are not reporting all their deaths,
but as a general rule, deaths are
more nearly all reported than births.
1t is difficult to tell which way we
are going as a State in health mat
tiers unless there be accurate reports
of both deaths and births"
The review. [volume] (High Point, N.C.) 1908-19??, 1915-05-20
HIGH POINT LAEDS IN
BIRTH FIGURES.

1t is Apparent That Towns and
Cities are Not Reporting All.
Of the ten towns of the State hav-
ing 10000 population or over, High
Point leads in birth registration with
a rate of 1922, Wilmington following
with 800. The other towns in Or
der of frank are: Raleigh, 29.8; Green's
boro, 25.4; Winston-Salem, 253;
Charlotte, PSI; Rocky Mount, "a L;
Durham, 1928; Asheville, 21.3; New
Bern, 1871.
By a comparison of the abo> e
rates with the average national birth
rate which is 35'1 per 900 popu-
l alton, it is readily seen that North
Carolina is falling far short in reg
istering all her births, else she
might as well be framing up a well
come to hold out to foreigners. If
1871 represents all the births of New
Bern where will she be in another
century? According to her reports
made to the State Board of Health
her death rate will consume her
birth rate in less than a century.
Twenty counties of the State
have been picked out as banner
counties by the State Board of Health
for the registration of births. OF
the county, Clay leads with a regis
tration of 46. Then in order follow,
Dare, Mitchell, Martin, Gates, Madi-
son, Warren, Lincoln, Graham,

THE POSTAL SAVINGS
BANK.

Every person in the United States
ten years old or over may open an
account in a postal savings bank
after July 1st
Under plan adopted by the Post
master General for opening accounts
by mail an intending depositor, re-
siding where there is no regularly
designated postal savings bank, will
apply to his local postmaster who
will see that necessary Identification
data is prepared and forwarded to
nearby post office authorized to
accept DEPOSITS. The intending de-
position will then be given permits
sion to forward his first and subse-
quent deposits by money order or
registered mail direct to the post
master at the banking point for
which receipts or certificates will be
issued. He may withdraw all or
any part of his postal savings by
mail and on demand together with
any interest that may be due him.
The leaflet will soon be printed in
% foreign languages for distribution
through local post offices. The
foreign born citizen has taken very
kindly to postal savings, and litera-
ture in his own language will be of
great assistance to him.
Postal savings receipts have
broken all records the past year.
During the eight months prior to
April 1st there was net gain in de-
posits of $19,OO0,OO0, as against a
gain of $8,O00,0O0 for the same
months the year before.

INJUSTICE TO RAILROADS.

Unfair! The glazing injustice of
the government treatment of the
railroads in the matter of carrying
the mails is brought out in a COM
parison of what Uncle Sam pays his
own road and what he pays others.
The government-owned Panama
Railroad received last year, accord
ing to a statement by the committee
on railway mail pay, $2.T for each
ton of mail carried a mile, while the
private roads in the United States,
according to estimates of the Post
Office Department, received 1Oc per
ton for each mile. If this is the
kind of extravaganza the govern
ment ownership of railroads stands
for, it will be a long while before
the voters of this country will give
it serious consideration. Had the
privately owned railroads of the
United States been paid on the
same basis as the Panama Railroad,
inrtead of receiving $56,OOO,O00 or
about one-fifth of the Post Office
Departments revenues, they would
have received ST ,557, 100000, or
more than five times the total re-
venues of the Department. The
railroads have not asked Congress
to advance mail pay rates. All they
have asked for is to be paid for all
the mail they carry and for all the
special facilities and services they
furnish the Post Office Department.
Why not, Uncle Sam?-Leslie's.
