nouncement of the success of the

branch of the service. might lead
some people to believe that the
Democratic party was the origi-
.nator of that governmental aid
to small savings. 1t will be sur
prising. therefore, to those who
are not familiar with the facts.
when the record is brought for
ward to show that the Postal
Savings Bank law was enacted
with almost unanimous opposi-
ton on the part of Democratic
senators and representatives.
Examination of the record in
this regard is particularly oppor-
tune in view of the recent dec
laration of President Wilson that
the Republican party has not had
a new idea for thirty years. The
Postal Savings Bank law, in the
form in which it was enacted,
must certainly have been a Re-
publican idea as distinguished
from a Democratic idea. for it
was passed by Republicans over
the protest of Democrats.
This measure was enacted in
1910, and signed by President
Taft on June 25 of that year. It
was introduced in the Senate by
the late Senator Carter of Mon
tana. It was reported to the
Senate by a Republican commit
tee, and passed by that body by
a vote of fifty to twenty-five, eY.
cry affirmative vote except one
being by Republican, and ev-
cry adverse vote being cast by a
Democrat. Of those senator's
who were paired, every Demo.
crat was pared against, and ev-
cry Republican paired in favor of
the bill.
A similar situation confronted
the measure on it's arrival in the
House. It passed that body af-
ter considerable debate by a vote
of 1876 to 1O2, party lines being
very strictly observed.
Among those distinguished
gentlemen who voted against the
bill were A. s. Burleson, the
present Postmaster General;
Champ Clark of Missouri, the
then minority leader and present
Speaker of the House; Congress
man Moon of Tennessee, the then
ranking member of the House
Post Office Committee and now
chairman of the committee; Rep
resentative Fitzgerald of New
York, the present leader of the
Democratic side of the House;
and Mr.. Oscar Underwood, the
newly elected senator from Ala
bama.
Few measures in that Congress
were, fought more bitterly by the
Democrats than was the Postal
Savings Bank bill. All sorts of
evil in government and finance
were, predicted as result Of the
enactment of sucha policy into.
law.
The principal arguments made
against the bill were that itwould

DISCUSS ASSESSMENT
ON new properties

Builders and contractors of this
city held a conference with members
of the Board Of Assessment, Revision
and Appeals in Council Chambers last
night. The object of the conference
was to discuss the new law which
makes it necessary to assess new or
partly finished buildings. The as
sessment has to be made before the
first of the fiscal year. and of Board
of Assessment is anxious to have the
builders understand that the measure
is a law and was not passed by them
but by the Legislature
Under this act, if building permit
has been secured for a building to
cost $4,000 and that building is 20
per cent. completed it has to be as
sessed at 20 per cent. of its value.
New buildings completed since the as
sessment has been made are assessed
at their true value, the same as Is
done with all other properties. The
builders are assessed for the taxes
on the incomplete buildings because
they are still their property.
IL was the purpose of the meeting
last night to have the builders submit
to the board a list of the buildings
they have in charge and how near
/ completion they are. This has met
with some objection. and it is said il
will interfere with new building
operations in the spring Of the year
as the building operations will be held
/ back until after the time for making
| the assessment.

SAXON SIX Shows
Astonishing Value

The Saxon Six is now on display
at the local agency in Wilmington.
The value of this car is astonishing,
and more clearly than anything else
shows the great change that is taking
place in the automobile industry to-
day Such a car as the present
Saxon Six for S7S5 was a thing un-
dreamed of a year ago.
Speaking of the arrival of the new
car, Henry Jacoby, of the local
agency, Third and French streets,
says:
when one takes into consideration
that heer is a big, rOOmy, five-pas-
senger touring car, equipped with a
siX-cylinder, 35-hOrsepower COntinen-
tai motor. Gray and Davis starting
and lighting systems, a heavy, genu-
ire, honeycomb Feeders radiator. hot
water jacketed Rayfeld carbureter,
Atwater-Kent ignition, the famous
Weston Mott rear construction. and
Hyatt quiet hearings throughout, one
can appreciate that these specifica-
tions cannot be duplicated at anything
under $3.50. This car is an absolutely
high grade. remarkably easy-riding
| car. The one-man top adds ma
torially to the appearance of this car,
and, in fact, it is hard to conceive
of more beautiful. pleasing car than
/ the new Saxon Six.
THE economy features of this type
Of car will prove a revelation to auto
mobile buyers in general. Through
our construction we will be able &c
obtain very high mileage on a gallon
o. gasoline, and the large tires used
or this car should give 5000 or 10000
miles of mileage"

PITCHERS necessary
FOR Good BALL Clubs
Late Addie Joss Statement
That Pitching is 80 Per Cent
of Team Seems True
WISE CLUBS NOW
SET THE PACE

Four years ago the late Addie Joss
gave out an interview, his last pub
lished statement, in which he said:
Pitching is so per cent. of a baseball
club"
That Addie never spoke truer words
is being demonstrated this year. Be-
cause of losses to the Feds and trades
in which he was thought to have Sc
cured the worse of the bargain. Pat
Moran was believed to have a very
ordinary ball club when the season
started. Pat, however, figured that the
team that had its picthers in shape at
the start OF the campaign had the edge
on its rivals, and the great winning
streak of the Phillies has shown he
was right When the bell rang, Pat
had Alexander, a great pitcher; May
er, very promising youngster and
Rixey, a phenOm, when right, on edge.
A week later he added Chalmers,
thought to be a has-been. With these
four Moran has fought his way into
the lead and opened up a big gap
between his team and his nearest
rivals.
That the Phillies are leading is not
because they are a great team, for
ers are in shape. With such a start,
the Phillies should continue to stick
to first place for six weeks at least.
OF the western clubs, the Cubs are
showing the way. Why? Because
