Th«* main differences in these bills lie in th«* protection afford­ ed depositors and dejxisits ami In Investment features of the funds of l>ostal savings banks. All these bills place a limit on Interest-bearing deposits which can be made by any Individual within any sin­ gle calendar year and finally. The Madden-Snapp bill provides that $300 may be deposit«*! within one year and that no interest shall be paid to any depositor upon a dejxisit in exces^ of $1,000. The Carter bill makes the lim­ it of annual deixisit $500 and the final limit of interest bearing deposit $1,000, while the Hitchcock bill has a double- barreled provision which Is more com­ plex. It provides a limit of monthly deposit of $100 and the final limit of any single deposit at $1,000. In ad­ dition it provides that no Interest shall be paid on more than $500 to any de­ positor and that tf any depositor «$>*- posit more than $2(K) In any one year Interest shall not be paid on new de- poslta-ln excess of that amount. Both the’ Madden-Snapp ami Carter bills provide an Interest rate of 2 per cent on d«*posits, while the Hitchcock bill stipiilates that the rate on $200 or less shall tie 2>j per rent, and over that amount and up to $500 the rat» shall be flxtxl by a board of investment, «Mmposed of the Postmaster General, the Sreretary of the Treasury and the Comptroller of the Currency. In establishing postal savings bank adjuncts to post offices there is also a difference between the Madden-Snapp bill nnd ttie others. Th«* Madden-Snapp measure gives ttie Postmaster General discretion In the selection of offices for postal savings bank purposes; the Hltchc«x’k bill is mandatory in that all money order ixist offices arc made branches of the postal savings hank system, while th«* Carter bill makes all first, s«*cond and tliinl class post of­ fices branch postal savings banks mid gives the Postmaster General some dis­ cretion ns to further extension into the fourth-class post offices. • In administration the Madden-Snapp bill provides a general sup«*rlntendent of postal savings banks, with such as­ sistants nnd clerks as may be ii «* c « m - sary, while the Secretary of th«* Treas­ ury Is authorized to Increase th«* audit­ or’s fore«* In th«1 Post Oftl«’«* Department. The sum of $5O.0fiO Is set nside to start the banks in operation. Both the IIltch(*ock nnd Carter bills stipulate that the heat! of th«* postal banks shall be an officer known to the Fifth As­ sistant Postmaster General, and ask $100,0(10 to establish the banks. Nothing In the development of Amer lean taste Is more hopeful than ttie waning of the spread-eagle oratory and of turgid rhetoric In writing, The passing of the pompous .and artificial In public discourse may be witnessed throughout the English-speaking world, for the faults of the old style, like ninny American fallings, were not pe­ culiar to this country. In a recent nddress at Edinburgh University Mr. Balfour said that go«xl public speak­ ing is merely heightened conversation. That Is. It is natural, sincere, but pol­ ished and correct; just ns In fiction the conversation sounds like people talking, but Is easier nnd more firmly constructed than the spoken sentences of real life. In the old days the flow­ ery manner, employed by a master, could convey great matter and achieve poetic beauty. Webster could talk in periods and not “sound like play­ acting.” But much which passed with our forefathers for elo«pien<’«» would seem to us prolix nnd false.
