Taft postal savings bill seen as campaign bolstering
Washington reports the postal savings bank bill clears the House on a near party-line vote with 24 Democrats in favor. It creates a trustees panel, limits deposits, offers 2 percent interest, and allows conversion to government bonds. The measure, tied to the railroad bill, boosts Taft's standing while opponents predict tariff and living cost issues will dominate. The Interstate Commerce Commission faces a massive task evaluating broad freight-rate increases once implemented. Broward's Florida primary victory reshapes interest in his Senate bid.
