Quirk in Postal
Regulations Found
A peculiar quirk iu postal regula-
'ons has just come to light in the
local postoffice, following the ap
pearance of a number of letters in
the malls with the words, “ Repeal
Has Failed” . Imprinted with a rub
ber stamp in the lower left hand
corner.
Explanation of the slogan now ap-j
pearing on thousands of letters go
ing through the mails is found In the
fact that approximately 30,000 rub
ber stamps have been circulated for
xy
this purpose by Ethol Hubler, editor
of a temperance paper in Los Augel-
es. Calif.
Postal regulations, It was discov
ered, forbid tbe use of a gummed
sticker on the front of first class
mail, but permit the printing or rub
ber stamp’ ng of such matter on the
left hand side o ' letters, providing it
does not Interfere with the address.
"It’s our way of making Postmas
ter Farley help us bring bsek prohi
bition," Miss Hubler said, in ex
plaining the “ repeal-has-falled” rub
ber stamp crusade.
38 Per Cent to Bosses
More than 38 per cent of the
money expended by WPA has gone
for administration purposes, ac
cording to Harry Hopkins, WPA
director. Of each $972 spent, only
$600 went to the workers and $372
for administration overhead.
Reduced Automobile Licenses
Alf Landon, as governor of Kan
sas, reduced the automobile license
fee by 50 per cent, and increased
the total amount collected by see
ing to it that every owner of a car
paid the reduced price.
Cockeyed Tax Law
“ This (The Surplus Tax law)
is the most cockeyed piece of tax
legislation ever imposed in a
modern country and if I am
elected I shall recommend the
immediate repeal of this vicious
method of taxation . . . Actually
it has no relation to ‘soaking the
rich’ . What it does is to protect
the big fellow who still has a re
serve, and tie a millstone around
the neck of the little fellow.” —
Alf M. Landon at Buffalo, N. Y.
