Will II. Hays, Postmaster General, de
clarffd today in announcing plans for
revision of the postal savings system,
to make it more attractive to potential
depositors.
Through his reorganization plans Mr
Hays hopes to draw the hoarded wealth
of the country out of its hiding places
into useful channels. The present treat
ment of depositors in the postal ssv
ings bank, he said tonight after con
ferences wjth Middle Western bankers,! to tho government
amounts almost to fraud, while the
government has profiteered nt the ex-
penso of the depositors to the sum in
the last year of $1,720,000
His genernl plan of reorganization
which will be submitted to Congress, has
bean approved by bankers of the East
and, . Middle Wmt, al-oonf ereneei In
Washington, Now York, Terra Haute
and at hia homo here. Mr. Hays as
sured too bankers that he had no In
lars which was Oarpentier's share of the
purse. Total government proceeds
from the bout will total more than four
hundred thousands dollars, revenue offi
cials estimate. The income tax will tak
about 1100,000 of the three hundred
thousand dollars earned by Dempsey
and about $77,000 of Carpentier's share.
Tho Federal revenue from the sale of
tickets will amount to about )16O,0OO.

and the attitude of our party who.e
founders were the most conspicuous of
the Nation's founders.
"Throughout the Nation there Is
much present uneasiness and mucn ap
prehension for the future; the reasons
are political, which is my reason for
making this statement.
''More than two years ago n world
peace wss made at Versailles, but for
partisan political reasons this Nation
is not yet at pence with the enemy
nations of war, which admittedly can
not be made by a Congressional reso
lution. Business has reached such de
pression that bitter complaints ore
heard from the business world. Tor
eign trade has declined almost to the
vanishing point. Agriculture lies pros

penditures am at he maximum in our
history, the tremendous percentage of
idleness in the ranks of labor is almost
unprecedented.

Ho pointed out that 70 per cent of the
present 508,000 depositors are of for
eign extraction, and that they, as well
ns others of their countrymen who are
accustomed to postal savings systems
abroad, will trust no one but the United
States Government
To reach this Held of potential de
poaitors, Mr. Hays plana the following
basic changes in the present posts I
system :
1. Incrcsse the interest from 2 to 3
per cent.
2. Payment of interest on deposits
held less than one year,
3. Removal of the restriction against
depositors under ten years of age.
4. Provision for joint . and trust
funds.
5. Establishment of postal savings in
50,000 postoflices instead of the present
U00.
7. Redeposit of the funds in local
banks with more liberal qualification
rula for such depositories.
8. An enlnrgcd board of directors
including a representative of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank and possibly one or
more civilians.
"There is a lot of business In this
couiury iiiul is rciriiyi siri . nun stag

and the debauch of extravagance," Mr.
Hays said, "but there isa good deal

we need more than anything else is the

question discussed Is when It will start
Well, it is time to go out nnd meet

that the hundreds of thousands of
