Taft Pushes Adjournment and Postal Savings Bill Action
In Washington the House passed the postal savings bank bill by 195 to 101, creating a three member board to designate post offices as banks and capping deposits at 100 monthly and 500 total. The system will link to local banks with 2.14 percent interest. Taft urges early adjournment by July 1 and presses for stock and bond regulation, while other measures face Senate resistance. The administration backs land withdrawals and forest reclassification to boost homesteading and curb migration to Canada, amid debated irrigation funding and naval appropriations.
