Senate to Vote on Postal Savings Bank Bill March 3
Washington D C Feb 26 Decided progress was made in the senate toward the disposition of the postal savings bank bill. Senator Bailey delivered a striking speech and Senator Carter secured a vote date of Thursday March 3. The measure, long delayed, drew wide attention on the floor and in the galleries. Bailey challenged constitutional grounds for the bill arguing it is a fiscal operation not tied to postal duties. He questioned the borrowing and other constitutional justifications and stressed the bill would let individuals use money freely, not serve postal service functions.
