PAGE TWO Federal Offices Have Great Advantages As Depositories There Are 40,000 Post Offices In the United States and 1,415 Savings Banks. Not a Bank Competitor (By Marcus M. Marks.) (Exclusive Service Charities and The Commons Press Bureau.) (Mr. Marks is one of New York's lea l lng: dotting manufacturers. He is a leader in movements for city better ment. a m.'iffazln* writer and lecturer on labor questions, business elblcs and phJl" antrophy.) The United States is now a l tout the ; only civilized emYntry in the world tli«t haw no© yet established a ays tom of pos tal savings depotltork-H. Knglanti, J France, Kusctia.

Germany has no government wer trie© of this i:lnd. hut Instead, the mu nlcipailtiet conduct postal savings banks. ! Popular In England. In Kngland and Wales there ere 9,672,- i 300 depositor* in postal saving haakst ! over n quarter of the whole population) t and their balances average $70.72 each, j In Japan there are over eight million! depositor* with balances amounting to j over forty-six million dollars, or $5.77 j ssch. Postmasters Recommend It. Bine© 1871 our various postmasters gen- I era! have uniformly recommended the j adoption of a similar system In the | United States, Our pres* tit efficient postmaster general, George von U. Myer ' Is with exceptional enthusiasm and vigor j urging the pa era go o, Ken ato hill 6,484. j Quoting Its r\art language, thin hill pro vide* for the orttnhHiihinent of "postal | savings depositories for depositing *av- I lngs ut Inter- it with the h#> urlty of the government for payment thereof and for other purpose*.' Provisions In Bill. Its provisions In brief, are a* follows: 1. ttnch United States post office which is authorised to issue money or ders become a savings depository j 2. The postmaster general may, at j first, establish these depositories only hi ! the money order of fires of the first, | second and third class©* and extend tm- J system from time to time. 8. Accounts may lm opened for any person over ten years of »ig«- by deposit Ing at least one collar, after whlc'i j amounts as small as ten cents will uo ; accepted. The limit of deposit accepto« on any account In any ono month le SIOO. 4. Not over SSOO in all will he accept cd on any on© account and interest at two per <ent a year will he paid. ft. The postmaster general depositm these funds In national hanks nearest th»- point of their receipt, at the rate of not less than two and one-quarter per cent. Interest. 65,000 Offices In Country. There it re over 65,000 post office* In this country; 40,000 of these have the authority to Issue money orders and are, therefore enhraced in provisions of hill S 6.454. There are u,821 presidential post offices to which the postmuster general may at first restrict the savings features. Even ibis number Is five times an great as the number of so /lngs hanks In the Uni tad Btates, which 1h 1,415. The post office* have the Advantage of being «lls trlhuted fairly well throughout the coun try, whereas, on the contrary, about three-quarters of tho savings banks of the United Btates are in the eastern and middle states. It is rather a striking fact that ninety-eight and four-tenths per cent of the deposits In our savings banks are In fourteen states (the mix New England States New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. Maryland, Ohio. Illinois, lowa and California), whereas in the remaining thirty-two states and all territories there are only one and •lx-tenth* per cent of the deposits «)f all the savings banks of the country. More Available. This Is conclusive evidence that the highly prosperous western and southern etetes have, at present, comparatively little opportunity to reach savings hanks end thus they lose an Incentive to econ omy which t.je proposed postal savings ■yetem would supply. The experience of nil other countries ha proven that it Is beneficial to the people to have pos tal savings depositories within easy ac cess so that their savings may earn in terest and be absolutely secure. In times of prosperity tnls plan, by encouraging saving, helps to lmko better men and more substantial citizens, the stimulus to habit of economy and thrift, reducing the tendency to dissipation and vice Again, In times of business depression, th # faith of th e people tn their govern ment tends to prevent panic which would be more likely to seise them If their money were deposited elsewhere; for many have an undefined feeling of dts trust of Imnks, which they view In the light of private enterprises, liable to be mismanaged or to fall. Immigrants Hoard. t The report for poitmaster amoral for 1907 mva: "Mora than aeven millions of Immi grant* landed In this country during the past ten years, and It his bean dem onstrated that In the ajtßre*nte Im mense sums of maney have been hoard ed or aent anvny by these people.* The easy reach of government savings depositories will empty the proverbial "Mocking’ where, for lack of such banks money Is hidden at a loss of interest and at the risk of theft or fire Taking an other view of postal depositories, there Is no » M*ier. safer or more Independent pi \i-i for old age. sickness or tlie thre • ting "rainy day'’ than the grad ual uceumul&tion of saving. Danks Oppose Bill. The opposition to the postal savings measure comes principally from the ofl flelai banks on the ground that they* should not he hampered by the compe tition of the tTnlted States government. I*t us consider whether this Is a fair Does not Color the Hair Ayer's Hair Vigorjs composed of Show this to your doctor. Ask him if there Is a single injurious ingredient.

He knows. ■■ V ,PW ■y W r.> c . „ xu fi t argument In the first place, theee «iv-' : ir gs banks official* do-not deny that the ; great mars of our people will receive ! a substantial benefit by having th* pro ! posed additional facility for Having ;h . >ll sums placed within their easy i rear-h. How can they then reconcile | their opposition with the benevolent her; cJor of their own Institution? Th*;* savings banks are conducted, in; 1 most part, try directors who serve with- j o;; pay and entirely for the benefit of j j th© public. How can there then be a I logical objection on their part on tne ground of government competition, to j greater extension of faculties bound to j bring further benefits to the self-some public? getting aside the attitude of be* ; nevolence, we feel that th*- fear of this? competition of the postal savings d©po»- , 1 tories is unfounded for practical reasons | for as soon nr the amount of savings in | the postal depository becomes subs tan- ■ tial, the depositor will no longer be sat- j I shod with the two per cent interest rate j and wIM, quite naturally, transfer his ac count to th© savings bank that pay three and one-ha If and four per cent. Not Bank Competition. Thus th© postal depository will really b© the feeder and not the competitor of tne bank. By bringing to government safe-keeping small stuns, now kept in the house or on the person, the postal savinffH depository will Increase, the to tal of savings materially and thus bene fit not only th© national banks In which the government will deposit the monies, but also th#. savings hanks to which deposits will flow for the reason above staled. H'-gar .ing the further argument that the proposed postal savings mens- | ure will put our government in the bank- j Irig business, Senator arter of Montana made the folowing ntntement on May 7, 1908; Not Banking Btialnteaa. By no rational construction can the postal depository system provided by the pending Hill be regarded as a banking business. Deposit* nr© limited «s to ag gregate amount and calendar months. No payments nr© mad* on caock, but only «>n the application of the depositor under rules and regulations to be pre scribed by the postmaster general. Rx iiange Is neither bought nor sold, bills arc not discounted and money in not loaned. We may add that this postal savings plan would not be a new departure in our government policy, for the post offices ore already holding money orders and other business of the people. Goods Points In the System. Bumming no briefly: 1. The postal sayings depositories would bring within easy access of our people in nil parts <>f the country the op portunity to deposit their small savings with absolute,' snfety and thus encour ■ ige thrift. pHulenre and economy. No private enterprise has ever attempted to, nor possibly could undertake such a vast plan. 2. Through the absolute confidence of lift, people in the government, panics may be prevented, savings increased and the amount of money sent abroad by our Immigrants reduced tW the establish ment of postal snvlngs depositories. 3 It would he a simple development of the money order system now in use In our post offices and could not fairly, he oonstrued as « new departure In prin ciple. on the part of the government. 4. There would be little expense with th© plan because the existing machinery of the post offices would be used. ft. The government would keep the monies tn the districts In which they were saved, thus causing no disturbance tn balances nor the much feared eon entratlon of funds at a central point. 6. On account of the smaller Interest i.Ue the postal depositories will he a feeder rather than a competitor of the savings hanks. 7 The experience of nearly all other civilized countries proves that the plan Is n practical success wherever estab lished. This bill (56.484) is now’ before the United States Senate. A wire or letKr «o your senator and congress man will help make It a law. BUFFET PARLOR CAR. AUGUSTA TO JACKSONVILLE, FLA. VIA.

The plot of the story hinged on the trial of a bright young Irieh lad on tt charge ol swindling brought against him by three Jews, who alleged that the boy, “Paddy Blake," had sold them worthless gold nuggets. The proverbial Irish wit and sturdy hon esty won put, however, the judge's scales provitig that Paddy’s nuggets were of even more than tho required flness. All the parts were sung talrly well.
