This committee and association is called to meet at Des Moines August 17 and 28, during the Iowa stats fair, for th purpose of permanent organization. The membership fee In the preliminary organi zation was fixed at $1 and twenty members united In the preliminary organisation and are enthusiastic In their determination to effoct a permanent organization of Iowa postmasters. Some I,ae Mall. United States Senator E. J. Burkett and Congressman J. F. Boyd were morning vis itors at the convention. Both delivered short addresses during the afternoon meeting. The oldest postmaster present In point of continuous service In Nebraska Is J. H. Wells of Prairie Home. Lancaster county. He has held a postmaster's commission for twenty-five years. Colonel John Ltt of Benedict told of one of the patrons of his office raising a big howl because he happened to find a let ter he had written to a friend In York In nis own postofflce box. After a careful investigation It was found thst the Irate patron had placed the letter there himself Instead of mailing it, and that It remained in the box a week. One postmaster dropped a question In the question bos wanting to know what a post master was going to do who gets a salary of $30 a month, while his rural letter car rier gets $46 a month, and who Is boss? Another query was asked as to the right of a merchant putting a brick In a package to bring its weight up to four pounds so a to come under merchandise rates T The postmaster making the query said that such a thing had been practiced at his office. There was a manifest disposition on the part of the postmasters to dodge any dis cussion of the parcels post law. Barkett for Snnday Closing;. Th convention re-assembled promptly at 1:1$. Senator Burkett was Introduced to the convention and delivered a short ad dress. I am pleased and honored In the privilege of meeting with you here today," he said. "A public officer Is a public servant and the bast .officer ta th on that renders th moat .faithful and efficient service to the public. As postmasters you are nearer to the people than any other class of pub he servsnts, and In giving to the public the best measure of courtesy, you give them a better opinion of the whole official force of the. government. Remember at all times that you are public servants. I have the fullest faith that the post masters of Nebraska will do all they can to uphold tha government. It lie with you t set as teachers of th public In th matter of faithfulness to the publlo trust. "As you know, I am and always have been an ardent believer In the policy of closing th postofflcea on Sunday. Ia In troducing this Bundsy cloalng postofflce bill in the senate I mt with much criticism snd much commendation I shall keep hammering at it until th measure passes. We want the backing and support of all Of you postmasters as weO aa th jwpl of Nebraska for this measure. The post office Is th only public office that Is kept open on Sunday, and I will venture the statement that no mail Is received on that day that -Will suffere in the slightest de gree If kept over untlt Monday morning." Senator BurVett then gave a short his tory of the evolution of public building bills, how they were eventually passed and how the appropriations can be made for them. He' also went at some length Into the matter 'of general appropriations and how special appropriations were brought about. In conclusion he stated he would like to meet all ef the postmasters and especially such of them as he had not heretofore met. Coaa-re-ssman Boyd Speaks. Congressman Boyd spoke briefly, stating that he concurred with Senator Burkett In the belief that a "public official was a public servant and that the government wss measured by the trestment the people received from the postmasters. He also fa vored the Sunday closing law and wiould do what he could to secure Its passage by congress. Resolutions were adopted commending the efficiency of President Palmer and Secre tary Cook fo Tthelr efficient services dur ing their- Incumbency of their respective offices, to the first' assistant postmaster general for sending representatives of his department to the convention, and for the valuable Information so freely given by these omcials,, which resolutions were adopted by a rising vote. Resolutions were also unanimously for courtesies extended: to the Ak-8ar-Bn: to the Millard hotel; to Senator Burkett and Congressman Boyd for their presence and addresses, and to all of the Omaha dally papers for the liberal space given the proceedings of the convention. The report of Secretary-Treasurer Cook adopted to the Commercial club of Omaha was read and referred to the executive com mittee. For Education of PtUle, A motion prevailed that tt was the sense of the association that the postmasters enlist the. Interest of the superintendents of the various public schools In their re spective localities in the matter of edu cating tile school children In. the matter of addressing and stamping mall properly, and that some method be adopted whereby the publlo may be better Informed upon the matter of proper postage and the proper classification of mall.

BIG SUM OF MONEY LOCKED UP Plan Is Against Best Known Method of Finance and Far Behind Way of Other Countries (iovern aaent and Brekera. CINCINNATI, O., June SP.-Before the Ohio Bankers' association today, Milton E. A lies, vice president of the Rlggs Na tional Hank of Washington, spoke on the financial system of the Vnlted States. 1'rlttrlsea Financial System, Probably not since the day of Andrew Jackson, Mr. Alles began, has the public Interest In the relation of the government and the banks been greater than during the past year. Mr. Alios pointed out the singular fact that while America was quick to adopt modern methods in almost every field of endeavor It had been slow In working out a financial system that would keep pace with the extraordinary developments of the country; .that while we here taught the old countries new methods In arts' and Industries our Cur rency and banking lews had remained crude. "They do not belong to this era of modern equipment; they belong to the days of the ox-cart and the sail ship and have no place In an age of electricity and steam." Mr. Alles demonstrated how necessary It is, under our present system for the sec retary of the treasury to give occasional assistance to the money market In order to avert financial disaster. Every secretary of the treasury, in the past thirty or forty years, had been obliged to render such as sistance. It was made necessary by reason of the accumulation of revenues In the vaults . of the government and the taking out of the circulation Just so much money as wss received by the government. Every reason which sucli relief should be extended existed, yet every secretary of the treas ury, by giving the assistance, had sub jected his assistance to political criticisms from his opponents "and so long as we maintain an Independent treasury, Into which Is poured our surplus revenues, necessitating subsequent distributions among banks, so long will political op ponents continue to inflame the public mind." Idle Money Cans af Disaster. Mr. Alles said that the government sur plus for the current year would amount to between $8O,000,OUO and $s0,000,000 and that the locking up of so vast a sum could not be tolerated, as it would be followed by financial dlsaslur. He suggested that the collections be made through the banks, withdrawing such amounts from the banks as are needed to meet expenditures. By thla plan the secretary of the treasury WmilH n m 1 t th. iini'A.nnn.hl. A.lllnl.m leveled at him by political opponents.

Mr. Alles concluded: "In the mean time and pending the en- actment of other laws we must do the best we can under existing conditions. That the troublesome .problem, are receiving., the .v,n.t -r. ...Uri l , ' . CortelyoU Is" evidenced by that fact that he has appointed a commission to study the relations, between the treasury and the banks with reference to the distribution of public funds. This commission Is composed of Charles H. Treat, treasurer of the United States; William Barrett - Rldgely, comptroller of the currency and George E. Roberts, director of the mint."
