C 1 41 6 Broadway, 495 Alder Street. 814 Second Ave. Seattle, Wash. Portland, Ore. Spokane, Wash. Representative James T. Lloyd, of Missouri, chairman of the Democratic national congressional committee, on LMarcn JO, 10OS, exposed the flagrant theft of the people's money through the unfair weighing of mulls when of ficial testa were made to determine what compensation the railroads should receive. He said: "Mr. Chairman, in delivering my ad dress a few days since on postal con ditions, in discussing the interpreta tion of tb law as to the weighing of the mall, I faifed to sta'e the law on the subject, and I wish to do so now: "'The average weight to be ascer tained, in every case, by the actual weighing of the malls for such a num ber of successive working days not less than thirty, at such times after June 30, 1873, and not less frequently than once in every four years.' "Later the time was changed to ninety days. Otherwise the law has not been changed to this date. "Until March 2, 1907, the depart ment required the mail to be weighed for ninety days. Sunday was not con sidered, so that the weighing covered period of one hundred and five days Instead of ninety successive days. In other words, working days were con strued to mean week days. Postmas ter General Cortelyou changed th's in terpretation which had been accepted s correct for over thirty years and IskuhJ the following order as his con struction of the law: " 'That when the weight of mall Is taken on railroad routes, the whole number of days the malls are weighed shall be used as a divisor for obtain ing the average weight per day.' "Tikis required In effect, that, In stead of dividing the number of work ing or week days in the weighing period, the devisor should be the num ber of dajw on which mall was actual ly carrieddurlng the period. If It was weighed one hundred and five days, the divisor to obtain the dully weight was one hundred and five. If the mall was not carried on Sunday, the divisor would be ninety. This, as you can readily see, would give less compensation for carrying the full week than for six days, for the ac cumulated mall would be practically the same whether carried In six days or In seven. 'The present postmaster general, seeing this predlcament.Tbsued another order of construction, known as 'order 412, which is as follows: v "That when the weight of mull Is taken on' - railroad routes the whole number of days Included In the weigh ing period shall be used as a divisor for obtaining the average weight per day. . "If the construction up to last year was right, then there has been with held from the railroads this year over $1,700,000 that Is theirs under the law. If the present construction is the prop er one, the railroads have .received over $70,000,000 since 1880 that be longs to the people; so that whichever view is sustained money has been wrongfully withheld through the post office department." s "WHERE DID YOU GET ITT "Uncle Joe" Invites Demand That He Show Where He Got His Wealth. Speaker Cannon intimated that Mr. Bryan had become a miltlouulre. The speaker was speaking In bis home town, Danville, 111. The following day Mr. Bryan, speak ing also lii Mr. Cannon's home dis trict, opened his ledger to the gaze of "the American people and showed that be ' worth approximately $150,- 000. Having thus accepted Speaker Can non's challenge to " 'fess up," Mr. Bryan demanded In return that Speaker Cannon '"snitch on himself;" that is, that Mr. Cannon also " 'fess up, and relate just now lie got nis wealth. - It Is a perfectly proper thing, too; for some people have been worried that .Mr. Bryan has succeeded by his great Industry in upbuilding a com petency for Ills old age. Salary, Lectures and Book. It was from what I saved from my congressional salary, and gullied from lectures and books and the profits of 'The Commoner' that I got what money and property I have," Mr. Bryan answered, In substance. "Will Mr. Cannon now tell the people how he Amassed his wealth? lie has been hampered more or less by official duties during his term of service In the congress, yet In spite of that ob stacle, he is commonly presumed to possess considerable or this world s goods." Now "Uncle Joe's" Turn. None will deny that it Is now Uncle Joe's turn to take the people Into bis confidence. Down In Danville, It Is true that Mr. Cannon and his brother as baukers are thought each -to have amassed much more than $1,000,000. Certainly, his credit In the financial world rests on the general belief that approximately that sum represents his earthly possessions. If that be true, It I to be hoped that the speaker will give details as to how he got It If It be untrue, then let him tell exactly bow much he Is worth, and, of what his wealth con sists, and follow Mr. Bryan's example In taking the people Into his confl dence. Mr. Cannon cannot gracefully re- i (use to do this. For be himself In- j 'Ited the demand now made on him.
