Talk is cheap; of gab, Perhaps that's why they cull it the gift Rockefeller has books showing every penney he ever earned. The big reason for the country's paper shortage, however, is the printing of crime and scandal features in magazine sections of Sunday newspaper. A famous English writer has removed from England and taken up residence in Victoria, B. C, saying that her adopted city is more like the England of old than anything in the world today. Possibly that offers a solution for Canada's present immigration problem. If she can out English old England, the future of the Dominion is assured. V?5l INTERESTED.

We are rapidly approaching the time when traffic will be regulated without ' requiring a low speed of travel. In Rhode Island, for example, the police insist that motorists must drive 85 mile's an hour on the malii highways or get off on. the slower byrways. They contend that most ac-iP'Llli,)K out n,;w ?ur,8' cidents happen because of. ineptitude or carelessness rather than because Ipf .speoding at the 35-iile njark. When.iouii highways in Oregon become as congested as those of tho eastern states, the same regulations will be necessary. GOVERNMENT ENVELOPE BUSINESS. ; The Observer is, not in the commercial printing business, though we have a complete plant for doing our own job printing., Incidentally, we print our own envelopes instead of buying them at the post office at less than the cost of manufacture. The reason for this isn't entirely because we refuse to take advantage of Uncle Sam's generosity and have part of our normal printing expense absorbed in taxes and overcharges in other departments. Possibly it is large ly because the envelopes that Uncle Sam sells are cheap in quality and flimsy in appearance, characteristics that do not go well with good ljusiness stationery. Nevertheless, the post office department sells u tre mendous amount of stamped and printed envelopes. And the price is such that a loss on every thousand is inevit able, according to cost experts who have made ft study of the problem. Who pays the difference ?, Obviously those of us who do not take advantage of this department fea ture if "advantage" it 'may be called must make up the deficit. Of course there is no real reason for the govern ment being in the printing business to this extent at all, but especially is there 11 lack of reason for selling a product, in direct competition, with its own citizens engaged in legit imate printing business, ut a figure that is below actual cost. It is just one small example of how our government officials get off on the by-ways of service. A campaign is under way throughout the country to se cure the elimination of government enveloiKs. It's a sensi ble compaign that is economically sound. Government en velopes, at least as they are handled at present, constitute n relic of the past similar to the old free seed practice. If the post office department is to continue in the manufac ture of envelopes below cost, let the treasury department furnish us j'.ovenimcnl bonds that will pay a higher rate of interest than they earn, let the commerce department pro vide us with transportation for less than it costs, let the agriculture department pay us higher prices for our crops than the market permits and absorb tho difference in in creased taxes. Continuing along this line indefinitely would give us a country like England, now famous for its subsidies, its lolcs, and its rapidly approaching economic chaos. There ire probably a hundred arguments for such foolishness, but ve certainly can't think of a single one of them right now.
