CONSERVATIVES WILL FIGHT FOR A DELAY
Men Who Rank in That Class Will Join With the Tariff Revisionists in a Demand for Some Action.
Washington, D. C, Dec. 11. The fctandpat leaders in congress are facing an insurrection in connection vnth tbe proposed postal savings bank legislation, which promises to be more serious than that which developed against the Aldrich tariff law. In both senate and house ir.en who rank as conservatives have joined wfth the tariff insurgents in demanding action. The movement is so strong that the standpat leaders now tre fighting only for delay iintil after the report of the national monetary reform commission shall be made. This report will recommend a central bank and, it is believed, the general scheme of which that Institution will be the basis will be so comprehensive as to demonstrate that postal savings banks are unnecessary. Influences for Proposition. It is not probable, however, these men will have their way. In his annual message President Taft asserted lie saw no reason why the establishment of postal savings banks should be "tied up" with the general plan of currency reform. Undoubtedly this Is the view of a large proportion of the members of the senate and house. The Influences working in favor of the proposition are: Party politics which justify the demand that the pledge in the republican platform of last fall be carried out. The desire of the president, as expressed in his annual message. The Importance to the republican party of uniting the two factions upon at least one issue of popular interest. The single force which is working against the proposed . legislation is made up almost entirely of the banking interests. It has its agents in Washington who are conducting a determined campaign in favor of delay. These agents have their spokesmen in both senate and house and they are devising various ways along which to shunt the proposition, and the end of which is the abyss of inaction. Subcommittee is Significant. As an Indication of the methods pursued, attention 1b called to the personnel of the subcommittee on post offices and post roads, which was appointed today, to consider all bills with reference to the postal savings banks. This subcommittee is made up of four republicans. Representatives Gardner of New Jersey, Huff of Pennsylvania, Fassett and Durey of New York and two democrats, Representatives Moon of Tennessee and Small of North Carolina. It will be noted there is not a middle western or western man on this committee. It is made up of representatives of the east and south, where there is comparatively languid interest in postal savings banks. Gardner believes there should be no postal legislation of this character until after the national monetary commission has made its report. Huff is a banker. Fassett is vice president of the Second National bank of Elmira. New York. Durey is president of a lumber company and has many capitalistic connections. The two democrats do not count. Plan to Hold Hearings. It is proposed, after the post office appropriation bill is out of the way, that this subcommittee shall grant hearings. It is true the subject has been discussed exhaustively, but it is insisted there are so many features connected with the distribution of the money which would be deposited that it is necessary to proceed in the preparation of such a measure with the greatest caution and consideration, after the subcommittee completes its inquiry it will make a report to the full committee, and that committee will determine whether or not to submit a favorable report to the house.
This is the ordinary routine and it
furnishes ample opportunity for delay. There are many members who have been friendly to the speaker who assert they will not stand for any such tactics. One of these Is Representa
tive Martin B. Madden of Chicago, who for years has favored postal savings banks. Madden last summer mailed 30,000 letters to his constituents asking them to express their views upon the postal savings bank bill which he had introduced. He received 11,500 replies, and only one of these opposed the scheme. Fortified by this backing Mr. Madden went to Representative Weeks, chairman of the committee on post offices and post roads, and in blunt language declared he did. not propose to countenance Inaction. Madden Stirs Up Weeks. Madden told Weeks that whether or not he favored the legislation he was responsible to the house as chairman of one of its committees and he must act In accordance with the will of the majority. . The Chicagoan pointed out also that every member of congress must act,

not as he individually believes, but as his constituents desire. Unless the committee reported a bill Mr. Madden announced he would bring the matter up on the floor of the house and put every man on record so that his constituents might know his attitude. The way in which this can be done is through an amendment to the postal appropriation bill. Such an amendment would go out on a point of order on the ground that it was new legislation. But Mr. Madden or any other member could then move for a roll call and in this way determine the fate of the project when it is considered in the house. There is reason to believe that Madden's plain talk made an impression upon Weeks, who, by the way, is himself a banker. Weeks asserts he never has discussed postal savings bank legislation with the speaker. But when the post office and post roads committee was organized there is no doubt Mr. Cannon knew the business and views of every man he assigned to it. The same policy of obstruction and delay which is to be pursued in the house will be observed in the senate. The middle and far western senators generally intend to support the legislation. Senator Aldrich is against it, preferring that nothing be done until after the monetary commission reports.
Rich Men's Gifts Are Poor beside this: "I want to go on record as saying that I regard Electric Bitters as one of the greatest gifts that God has made to woman, writes Mrs. O. Rhinevault, of Vestal Center, N. Y., "I can never forget what it has done for me." This glorious medicine gives a woman buoyant spirits, vigor of body and jubilant health. It quickly cures Nervousness, Sleeplessness, Melancholy, Headache, Backache, Fainting and Dizzy Spells; soon builds up the weak, ailing and sickly. Trv them. 50c. at A. G. Luken & Co.
