Ow nership only giv Decision of the post office de es the rig h t of use, at least, th a t partment to curtail mail service seems a m odern and tenable the- in this county is not surprising considering the tendency of that deoartm ent to do as little work as*possible and give as l.ttie pule lie service for the money as it can. Officials say that few other places have Sunday service which is true. It is also true that the residents of almost no area use Sunday as a day of activity as in this district The cost of bringing mail to thia county Is $4.00 per trip. That is a puny saving; so small as not to be considered. An offer was made to haul it for nothing, which completely over rides whatever argument there may be as to sav ings. What the curtailment actually amounts to is a victory of govern ment over the people who support It. Bureaucrats are entrenched in office so tightly that they have forgotten the anxiety they had about getting their Jobs at all. We suggest that If the federal government cannot do a better job of delivering mail than it is doing, that it lease the entire or-^ Before government governm ent can enforce conservation practices on farm s M ranges^ of th ^ n a tim tjt must find put what are he best prac tices to follow. When the case is proven by experimentation, and when the theories of officialdom, have given way to exact infor mation it seems reasonable to suppose that every operator of land will be forced to do what is necessary to retain the soil. There is an urge for big dams on the Missouri because of the floods in that section, but soil that moves 50 miles to a dam is just as useles a if it went on to the gulf. Farming practices that will keep the land where it is must be de veloped—and soon if the stories of the mid-west flood are half true. ------ »-----;— Some advocates of the sales tax are already saying that if passed it would be advisable to cut the percentage that goes to property tax reduction. That is the best piece of bait in the entire bill, but it would probably be taken ^ T T wo X e i « V ro toero- S - W . Mt of competition and = thus some better service. On the New York City postof- flee Is* this inscription from Her odotus. “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of nltfht stays these couriers from the swift competition of their appointed rounds.” ' May we further suggest that this be marked out and the more up to date “Ho-Hum” be substi tuted? — - LIQUOR BY THE DRINK Arguments for a change in the Knox law so to permit the sale of ¿iquor by the drink are being made preparatory, no doubt, to an Initiative petition to legalize it •; , ■ ■ Strangers within our borders complain loudly about having to buy a permit and j then carry a bottle in order to have a nip of their favorite ellxer. Many others hold that those who occupy hotel rooms would he inclined to drink less If they were to go down to the bar than if they bought a bot tle and ordered up the ice. So Many other states do have a drink by the glass law that Ore- gon la quite a hit different in its laws, j Aa a rule it Is the younger peo ple who want the change made, and the older ones who oppose, Perhaps that Is true of moet changes. . .' Nearly everyone seems convinc- ed that Oregon has as good a law on liquor as any other state. Any- way there is much praise of the Knox law and it would he well to consider It thoroughly before making any great change .therein. Almost any change is certain to be urged on the grounds ofso- brlety and temperance. The liquor by the glass notion is so argued. Yet it seems a sound statement to say that the more easily liquor can be obtained the more of it Is going to be consumed. If one could buy a drink by dropping in to any nearby tavern the chances are that he would drink more than if he had to go to the state store and buy a bottle. The percentage of people is small who feel duty bound to fin ish the entire bottle, certainly it is teas than the number who would stay w ith a group of friends around a bar. That is pub lic drinking, . ‘whereas the Knox law encourages private drinking. It teems axiomatic that fewer men will sit tround home and overdo than will get with a group of M ends and stay too loftg. There will be time to think it is a good time to make govern- ment live within its income. > Mrs Sijman, who li critically Ul.
