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

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

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.
