LARGER DEPOSITS.
FOR SAVING BANK

Postmaster D. F. Davenport, of the
Americas postoffice, has received noti'
fcation that larger deposits may be re-
ccived in the postal savings banks.
This is made possible by an inn
portant amendment to the postal saw
ings act just approved by President
Wilson. A postal savings depositor
may now have an account amounting
to $1,000 upon which interest will be
paid. Formerly $500 was the maxi
credit. This enlargement of postal
savings facilities will be very crafty
ing to thousands of depositors 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 do
irg away with the limit on the amount
that could be accepted from de-
positor monthly. Under the old law
only $500 could be deposited in a
calendar month The amendment abol-
ishes this restriction.
While the Postal Savings System has
already proved a signal success as is
s&own by the fact that more than half
a. million depositors have over eighty
r2illion dollars standing to their credit,
still it has fallen short of meeting the
full demands of the public because Of
the restrictions which have now been
eliminated Postmaster General Burle-
son and Third Assistant Postmaster
General Dockey have been tireless in
their efforts to secure a modification Of
the limitations and the new liberaliz-
ing legislation is particularly crafty
ing to them.

BEER HOLDS FOCUS.
Of THE NEW PROH|
LAW WITH DANCER

ATLANTA, Ga, May 25-It has be-
come evident, according to the law
enforcement committee of the Anti
Saloon League of Georgia that this
brewers are laying the groundwork for
p stealthy assault upon the states new
prohibition laws in much the same
manner that the old prohibition law
was gradually nullifed by the slow in
crease in the percentage of alcohol
confined in so-called near-beer.
In statement issued in Atlanta in
behalf of the committee it is fatty
charged that most of the new drinks
with which the market has been re-
Gently flooded under various names are
a violation of the new prohibition laws
as much as they would be if they con-
tanned 100 per cent of alcohol.
For a short time after the old pro-
hibition law came effective it was toll
erably we'll observed" says the COM
mittee. with their usual and char
acteristic shrewdness the brewers saw
an opportunity to debauch the law, and
ayailed themselves of it by manufac-
turing and putting on the market a
subterfuge drink which did not contain
enough alchol to produce intoXication
from excessive drinking. Step by step
alcohol was added to the beverage I'M
til it contained the usual amount of
alcohol contained in beer, with the re-
suit that law violation became gener-
ally evident throughout the state.
Thinking they will profit by their
experience under the old prohibition
law, the brewers are now planning
mad preparing to debauch the law by
putting on the market very question
able limitations under various names,
We have obtained samples of these var
ious brews and submitted them to our
attorney, who advises that their sale is
as much a violation of the law as if
they contained 100 per cent of alcohol.
THE prohibition act defines prohi
bited liquors as follows:
"(3) All matted, fermented or
brewed liquors of any name or descrip-
zion, manufactured from malt, wholly
or in part, such as beer, lager beer,
porter, ale and all brewed and fer
mented liquors and beverages in which
malt is a substantial ingredient,
whether alcoholic or not, and whether
intoxicating or not
"(6) All liquors and beverages or
drinks made in imitation of or intended
as a substitute for beer, ale, wine or
spirituous, vinous or malt liquors and
beverages, and commonly called near
beer.
1T is the purpose of the law en-
forcement committee of the Anti-Sa-
Icon League to aid the state and city
authorities in stopping these viola
tons as speedily as possible"

One cent letter postage is attracting
the attention of congress, so bills call
ing for the Inauguration of one cent
rate on local delivery letters having
been introduced.
Many newspapers throughout the
country are warmly advocating the
lower rate, and the Inauguration of a
Gc-called zone" system for the tran
portation of periodical literature of all
kinds. At the present time the great
bulk of mail being carried distances
uUnder second class rates is furnish
ed by the magazine publishers of the
large eastern cities. Train load after
train load of magazines are being sent
out to all parts Of the country at a
cost of one cent a pound, although it
has been estimated by postal experts
that it costs over eight cents pound
to deliver such literature.
This, it is claimed, is manifestly I'M
fair to the publishers of newspapers
III local territories, who are required
to pay the same rate for transporta-
tion of their products. 1t is proposed
ard will become part of the readjust-
ment of postage rates when such are
made, that a zone system be establish
cd so that a certain rate shall be
charged for all classes of publication
for the first fifty miles, another for so
to $50 miles, another for $50 to 800
miles, and so up to haul which would
extend across the continent. In this
way the publishers of big magazines
would be required to pay the govern
ment what it actually costs to trans
port their product.
Under the present rate the United
States mails transport such magazines
as Leslies an average of 1000 miles at
the same rate they would charge a
newspaper for the average haul of fifty
miles. This means large subsidy for
Leslie's Weekly, amounting to about
100000 per annum. Some of the 9TH
er magazines, having a much larger
circulation, benefit to a much greater
degree. When it is considered that
Leslies Weekly charges over $1,000
per page single issue for it's advertis-
ing space, and that one half or more
CT the periodical is taken up with ad-
vertising, it hardly seems fair to users
CT letter postage and to newspaper
publishers that they should pay the
government a profit of 100 per cent,
when none of it is used to defray gen
eral expenses of the department, but
goes instead to take care af the deficit
created by the loss incurred in dis
tributing these magazines at one cent
a pound, rate which is almost a
franking privilege.
Newspapers which should properly
represent the territory in which they
are published, and carry the advertise
ments of the nationally advertised
products in their territories are sell
dom considered nowadays in the dis
tribution of big advertising appropria-
tions. hTe money goes rather to huge
magazine corporations which are
growing fabulously rich, and which
'pay only fraction of the cost to the
