POSTAL
SAYINGS DEPOSITS
GAN NOW BE
MADE AT THE
POST OFFICE

Larger postal savings deposits
! will now be accepted at the postof-
flee. This is made possible by an
important amendment to the postal
savings act just approved by Presi-
dent Wilson. A postal savings de-
positor may now have an account
amounting to $1,000 upon which in
terest will be paid. Formerly $500
was the maximum amount he could
have to his credit This enlargement
OF postal savings facilities will be
very gratifying to thousands of de-
positors who have already reached,
the old $500 limit and are anxious
TO entrust more of their savings to
Uncle Sam Another feature of the
amendment that will avoid further
embarrassment to the public and to
postal officials is the doing away
with the limit on the amount that
could be accepted from a depositor
monthly. Under the old law only
500 could be deposited in calen-
dar month. This amendment abol-
ishes this restriction While the pos
tai savings system has already
proved signal success as is shown
by the fact that more than half
million depositors have over eighty
million dollars standing to their
credit, still it has fallen short of
meeting the full demands Of the pub
lie because of the restrictions which
have now been eliminated Postmas-
ter General Burieson and Third AS
sistant Postmaster General Dockery
have been tireless in their efforts to
secure modification of the limita-
lions and the new liberalizing legis-
lation is particularly gratifying to
them.

Frederick S Ruth OF the Noun
tain Lake Corporation, whose COM
pany is now putting through deyel-
opment near lake Wales that will
cost approximately $l,00O,000, in
speaking of the good roads question,
said:
Il consider the good roads question
one of the most important proposi
lions that has ever come before the
people of Polk county, and the most
necessary" In fact" he continued,
Il deem it of far greater moment
and value to Polk county, as whole,
than the millions of dollars that we
will spend in development at Noun
tain Lake.
Mr.. Ruth has placed his time,
services and car at the disposal of
the Good Roads Association. and is
doing all that he can to further the
cause of the bond issue. Mr.. Ruth,
who has had wide experience in
handling large propositions, and
represents unlimited capital, stands
ready and willing to further develop
the wonderful resources Of Polk
county as soon as rapid and easy
TRANSPORTATION is available.

COCHRAN'S COMMENT
PITY THE POOR BANKERS


Pause, brethren and sistern, and let
us shed a sympathetic tear for the
pOverty-stricken bankers of Chicago.
Business is so rotten that some of
our very best banking paupers, I'm
der the leadership of such capitalistic
hoboes as George Reynolds and Jim
Forgan, have pleaded with the board
of review to cut their taxes 20 per
cent. Last year our leading bank
ers played the baby-act in the same
way and sympathetic tax reviewers
cut them down Is per cent and piled
it on the rest of us. Feeling that one
good cut deserved another, they are
playing it again. And we've just got
to get sympathetic and sob with the
poor devils. The trouble seems to be
that the banks have so much money
they don't know what to do with it,
and don't want to waste any of it
paying taxes. There's so much pros
perity that business is bad. The sun,
is shining so shingingly that it looks
like rain. George Reynolds is so hun
cry that he don't know where be will
sleep tonight. And business is so
dull over at the First National that
poor Jim Forgan hasn't anything to
do but count his pennies. Fields
store is paying out so much money
in 81 salaries that the Field banks
don't know what to do with young
Marshall Fields millions, and young
Field NAV have TO Inv mora DOIO
ponies. Poor, poVeTty-stricken Og
Armour is making so many millions
out of embalmed beef, corn-meaI
sausage and grape juice that the
Continental & Commercial bank
can't loan his deposits so they want
his taxes cut. That seems to be the
trouble with all the bank stockhoId-
ers-they're making so much money
in business that the banks. are
Qhoked. with their deposits. Then
they've gobbled up about all the col
lateral that was living around JOOco

in fighting States Attorney Hoyne
the crooks he has prosecuted don't
do it because he happens to be on
the Democratic ticket. All the
crooks WHO have been brought to
work are working together without
a thought of party politics. Some Of
them may vote one party ticket, and
some another-but so far as Hoyne
is concerned burglars, pickpockets,
thieves, clairvoyants, arsOnites,, tax
dodgers, auto-bandits, grating cop
pers, blackmailers and all others who
have been prosecuted are in one vim
dictive party of crooks-and Unani-

Those whose homes, property and
lives Hoyne has sought to protect,
however, are partisan. Some are in
one party, some in another. Many
of them will walk up to the ballot box
and vote their ticket straight, voting
with the crooks against Hoyne sim

MUD SLINGING.-A nasty, dirty,

ton to one important fact-the cam
paign can't be any fouler than the
newspapers permit. Newspapers
can publish honest criticism and be
fair, but they are under no obligation

that they give publicity to all the

Although the city council refused to give its sanction many of the business people of the city yesterday put their clocks ahead to gain hour of daylight This IS made possible by the action of the Engineering Commission and others but the steamship companies and the cable service times cannot be altered until the time S altered all the way down the coast The cables must depend on the Valdez office so the Gateway for instance will be that will have to maintain the same time Messages do not arrive here until about a. m from outside The public schools started at the earlier hour this morning but this would mean that the children would have to % to school in darkness in week or two from and would lose day

 suffer this when the agitation dies down and the facts are understood The change of time would also mean in very short time that should a have to steal darkness from the night before This is free country and may all innovations prove right but in this the alteration of time is rather abSurty could only have an ef feet for few weeks at most + you take eight hours work as the basis for day here it would mean working from eight o'clock a. u odtue to four D. nl or seven a. m to D. m or if time is allowed for short lunch the quitting time could be made half hour earlier In either case if you put the clocks ahead and % work hour earlier you are adding the darkness of the day instead of adding daylight Besides shall not have enough daylight in a few weeks to do a full days work where in the name of goodness does the advantage come? The change was the result of careless people who smiled when they signed it. To add to this people allowed their names to be used in connection with lHe matter without giving thought and they hardly be blamed oruYng to put into effect, but is really of these little ab surdities that too much locism makes possible It S one of these egegious bits of rot that made two com mercaI public bodies possible and lot of other things amongst which the placing of the posJodice in the most position possible. ke,chikan is one town which has just gone back norma, time after putting it's clocks ahead and found very good reasons for doing Even the cables show today that Berlin has gone back to normal time no doubt because the coming of winter there like here makes putting the clock ahead useless To make the change here at this time of the year s positively id cuIous and it is to be regretted that so many people thoughtessly fell for it even temporarily.
