PORTLAND, OREGON.
SSnTED IN
24 LANGUAGES
A new 19 cent card, printed In 24
foreign languages, ha. been adopted
In the. U, S. postal savings depart
mnf. Rv mpatm of this card one
may deposit only 10-wnta and re
ceive a stamp to be paste- upon the
card. When, 10 such stamps have
been collected, an account is opened
of -one dollar. The difference ir the
new card from that which has been
used since January 1, 1811, is in its
numerous foreign translations.
FOREIGNERS IJT MAJORITY,
Patrons of the postal savings depart
ment are largely foreigners, says Frank
li Ross, in charge of . j the Portland
postal savings department. The foreign
born citizen has always looked to the
government to safeguard his savings.
To encourage thrift among the foreign
element, the postoff ice is now sending
out pamphlets printed In !6 different
languages to the different substations
for. distribution, explaining the postal
savings system, i
Llmltattlon of deposits! fixed at $500
at the time of the establishment of the
postal savings bank, has been gradually
raised 'until It now reaches $200. The
monthly limitation has been removed
altogether. Interest is paid at .the rate
of 2 per cent, although the postal de
partment is now seeking legislation in
congress to raise this. ;
DEPOSITS ARE GAISIIiG
In' the Portland postal savings bank
are now deposits of 5000 depositors. . In
the country at large are nearly one-half
million depositors, with a total of more
than $162,000,000; . ,
, "Prior to the establishment of the
postal savings bank." said Ross, fit was
believed the system would be a strong
competitor of the savings banks, bu
experience has shown that the govern
ment bank draws its patrons not from
the banks, but. among those who would
not otherwise place their money in any
financial institution.' : I
