"The greatest feature of this year." snid an official of the American Ex press Company. "Is the unexpected rush of holiday business.

RED TAPE TANGLE IN, BILL PACIFIC COAST WOULD IXD POSTAL BANKS SLIGHT AID. Little Rock. Ark.

Delay oi Month at Least Might Re sult on Attempt to IVith . draw Funds. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Dec. 23. If the postal savings bank bill should be enacted Into law In Its present form, the man depositing money with his postmaster would experience some difficulty, or rather delay, in with drawing his account, or checking upon It. . Funds once deposited with the" post master, can, under the bill, only be with drawn In even amounts; that Is, $1 or some multiple thereof. But this money cannot be withdrawn directly by the de positor. He must present an application for refund of part or all of his money, as he desires, and that application will be transmitted by the postmaster to the Postoffice ' Department In Washington, where a record of all accounts Is to be kept. If the department finds that the amount In the application does not exj ceed the amount credited to the depos itor, a check is made out In favor of the depositor, and drawn upon the local bank In which the postmaster makes his de posits, and that check is returned to the postmaster for transmission to the de positor. The depositor can then take his check to the bank and have It cashed. This system, fraught with red tape, will prove very annoying to people on the Pacific Coast, for the time consumed in transmitting applications to Washington, having them examined and checks drawn will, in the nature of things, cause a de lay of a month or more on each with drawal. The effect of this feature of the bill would be to make the postal banks purely savings institutions, and would tend to almost entirely prevent with drawal of funds.
