Two
Tears' Experiment Indicates
the Plan Is Successful.
The only postal savings bank s.rs
teru in operation under the American
flag Is that lu the rbillpplnes, where,
arter 'two years, of experiment, the
Institution, Iws been declared a great
success. In the report, of the Philip
pine commission, Just published, the
Postal savings bank la discussed brief
ly, in part as follows: :
"The postal savings bank was first
opened in 'Manila on Oct. 1, lflCtl.
The law provides for three classes,
with limitations as to the amounts
that can be received at any one time
In each class. .Following the opening
of the Manila office, other postal sav
ings bank offices were opened In vari
ous cities, of different classes, until
at the close of the year 233 had beeu
opened, of which 9 were first, 86 were
second and 140 were third clasB. -
Filipinos Adoptla Byatem.
. At nrst the Filipino did not
any great extent avail themselves
to
of
the opportunity of depositing a portion
of their receipts la the postal savings
bank.anda great bulk of the depositors
were Americans and of other, nation
amies. As the advantage of this sys
tem nave been disseminated through
means of schools, government bureaus,
private agencies and others, the pro
portion of Filipinos Is continually in
creasing, and gives very good promise
w -" i iiiptuoa wii leurn to trust
their money to the care of the govera
tneut, and welcome the opportunity,.
"The accounts opened up to the
close of the fiscal year numbered
2.C70,, of which 847 were closed, leav
ing . 2,320 still open. The deposits
reached the total sum of 780,301.03 pe
sosan average- of 108.21 pesos. Vltn
drawnls reached the total amount of
2S0.4M.21 pesos, leaving a net deposit
of 5G!M0:i.;si pesos at the end of tlu
fiscal year or the first nine months
of tlio operation of the postal savings
bank but by no means the first nine
months of operation of the average
number of olllces, the smaller ones
having been opened from time to time
during the year, so that many had
not been opened more than a month or
two at the time these figures were
taken. '
Encouraging Small Accounts.
"The device of issuing postal sav
ings bank stumps has met with some
response. The stamps are simply a
method by, which small amounts can
be deposited without the expense of
Issuing a book, figuring Interest, and
opening An account.
"On the whole, the reception accord
r1 the postal savings bank has been
gratifying, and gives good promise.
The investment of the funds Is In the
bands of a postal savings bnuk invest
ment board, which carries a certain
amount; of the funds on deposit, and
has limited power of investment The
law provides that 25 per cent of the
money held on deposit may be loaned
on first-class real estate, under limita
tions carefully drawn to protect the
depositors, aud 10 per cent on agricul
tural loads under still more rigid liuil
tatlons." ,

"You say that you have advc
cated more radical measures
against private monopolies than
cither I or my party 'associates
have been willing to undertake.
You have, Indeed, advocated
measures that sound more radi
cal, but they have the prime de
fect that In practice they would
not work. I should not lu this
letter to you discuss your atti
tude on this question If you did1
not yourself bring It up. but as
yon bave brought it up, I answer
you that In uiy judgment the
measures you advocate would be
wholly Ineffective In curing a
single evil, and so far as they
bad uny effect at all, would mere
ly throw the entire business of
the country Into hojieless a I'd ut

deeds aeulnnt your words. I ask
'. that you b Judged both by the
words you wish remembered, and
by the words that seemingly yon
and your party now denlre to
bave forgotten. . . .1 hold It
entirely natural for any great
law-defying corporation to wih
to see you placed In too Presi

Tomorrow night the registration
