TAKES PEssDuTIC VIEW.

Editor. Nows-Times:
The plan of Postmaster Gen. HaycN
to make the postal savings bank
system more attractive to depositors
is worthy of consideration. but the
purpose Ito prevent the postal saw
ings from becoming attractive
enough TO hurt the business of the
regular banks" is not so clearly
legitimate attachment 10 the plan.
The stocking hoard" Mr. Hays
would put in circulation (by deposit
ing in banks) amounts TO little com
pared with the bank hoardines they
viii augment.
The banks Of the United States
have it within their power at this
moment TO supply any needed vol
ume Of currency on safe basis, and
many individual banks would exer-
else that power if permitted At
least we are so informed. But the
Federal Reserve board has found a
way 70 nullify the intent of the law
and 20 control the issue Of money
as it viii. That power il has exer-
cised and viii exercise until the
government has more regard for the
rights OF the people and less fear Of
hurting the business Of the banks.
II is perhaps unfortunate TO use
the term banks. since that includes
local institutions whose interests are
bound up in the prosperity Of their
communities rather than in the sciz-
ure of financial power by the big
concerns. Local bankers are en-
dangered rs much by the autocracv
Of international fnanciers as are
other business men. They are not
always independent thinkers. how
ever, and upon demand lend active
support TO the big fellows.
The policy Of mot hurting Is not
new. In fact. it goes far beyond
that. The United States redeposits
the savings Of its patrons. not al a
prodt, but ar a loss. II is true il
receives a higher interest rate than
IL pays IFS depositors. but II borrows
its money back at a rate much higher
Ia rate dictated by the banks sub
jet 20 market conditions created by
the power 20 control the volume Of
money.
When. I'm the closing DAYS q the
Hayes administration. congress pass
ed an act 20 refund the national debt
az 8 per cen;. the retiring president
vetoed the bill, asst yuing the reason
that IL would hurt" the national

lily have been absorbed, and the next
administration Garfeld-Arthur) saw
the authorization Of an issue at that
rate.
I have purposely avoided mention
of the fact that these were partisan
disputes for the reason that neither
party i'm power, has been entirely
free from bank domination. This is
natural since American public men
are larsely opporUnists, and an
organized influence at Washington
surrounds the administration with
an environment requiring greater
force of character TO disregard than
usually is found here. We elect a
pOular idol only TO find him as wax
in the hands of the interests. The
real leader in this country is too
often the victim Of those whose
cause ne battles Cor This is pes
siuism. of course, but its truth can
not be denied.

The BOOK OF MEMORIES.

And though the years be long. the

With joys from the pages of long

And glad adventures wher the heart

Here are the sweet romances all re-

Before her raven tresses caught

How fair life was. but then we

NARROW ESCAPE
FOR BERTAGNOLL|

Patrolnsan BertaGnolli is probably the
tirmest believer in Fate of all the
thousands of Puebloans who woke up
this morning safe and sound to find the
old world still buzzing round as usual
Call it Fate, Luck, Chance, Providence,
or whatever names are applied to it;
but about the only good reason
Bertagnolli can give for being up and
around and alive this morning is that
last night wasn't his night to die--and
that the automatic pistol jammed.
Bertagnolli, walking the Northern
avenue beat Monday night about $3.50
o'clock, received information that there
was a drunken Mexican standing on a
street corner. The patrolman located
his man, walked up to him, put his
hand on the mans shoulder and asked
him, What's the matter. partner?"
The Mexican started back with a
jerk, and half-raised his hands.
Bertagnolli let his hand fall from the
mans shoulder. sliding his hand along
the fellows side as 1t dropped, as if to
feel if he had anything concealed be-
meath his coat
Quick as n flash, the Mexican drew
a calibre 30 Savage automatic, and
showed the muzzle directly against the
policeman's side. BertaEnolli caught
tho Glcam of the steel as the gun APP
pearcd. Tho click of the firing pin and
against the MeSican's jaw were almost
simultaneous. Tho pistol failed to fire
One blow was enough. Tho man
dropped to the walk like a load of
stone. Police headquarters were noti-
fled and the patrol wagon came for the
inert figure of the unsuccessful gum
man. Tho Mexican was still uncon-
scious when tho patrol arrived at the
station. and came to some minutes
later on the floor of the jailer's office.
There. he gave his name as Roesalis
MarEives, 17lS Schley avenue. He is 80
years old. Tho jsmmcd automatic
pistol was confiscated. and Margives
was locked up, charged with being
drunk and carrying concealed weap-
ons. County charges OF moro serious
nature will be brought against him, po-
lice announced Monday night
BertaCnolli nurses broken finger
on his right hand. but otherwise ic
none the worse off for his encounter.
