Their offices are kept in a continuous state of inefficiency because it is impossible to hire competent cierks on the sum of money allowed by the government for clerk hire. The allotment should be raised, and it should be raised at once. The postmasters are able and anxious to serve, but it is im possible for them to function prop erly if they are not provided tools with which to work, we make a won derful show with our post office build infca, but bricks and mortar are but the trappings and the suits of ser vice. It is the working force that counts. There is a disposition to brush aside the country towns when it comes to considering any public ex penditure, and this applies to the pos tal service as to anything else. Our Congressmen, however, should re member that a majority of the Amer ican population, which means a ma jority of taxation is represented in the small towns up to &,IXH popula tion. Poor postal service is a severe handicap to business, and the busi ness of the small town should not be ignored. Like all other perplexing problems, of course, there is a very practical tide to this matter pf obtaining effi cient postal service. The result de pends on the interest exhibited by the people themselves. Congressmen are human. They keep their ears con stantly to the ground. Once they sense the fact that their constituents are earnestly determined to press for certain legislation they are apt to get very much interested in that leg islation. On the other hand, if they feel only public apathy, they will go calmly to sleep and do nothing. Every reader of this newspaper is A. KAN PAT CVKNT MAk-P A MUCH A lr r m Wrested to get improved postal ser vice. Are they interested sufficiently to write to their Congressmen and Senators asking them to fight for a larger appropriation one that will nable our postmaster to hire com petent help? If they are, then the sooner the ball is started rolling, the better it will be for all of us. Uncle John It never fails before election we witness in its resurrection, the hoax of by-gone days.. The demagogue with hardened liver points out some poor, old, nasty river and howls for "water ways." Of course, we have the transportation that jerks our gooes acrost the nation, and ands 'em, double-quick. . . . It's fun to hear some jobless critter explainin' how it's vastly better to float 'em down the rrick! He wants to hear the steam-boats tootin' and watch em, splutterm' and rootin' among the snags and bars. . . . He wants to see the palace floatin' and tells os, if well do the votin' he'll junk the rail road kyars. ... It used to set my hopes afire to listen at the r&mpaign liar discourse on "water-ways"; I've helped elect in admiration to come at cheaper transportation, but them was by-gone days! So now I stand around and shiver, and view the same old, nasty river the smug job-hunter's pet; I watch its slippery, sludgy movement, that never showed the least improvement, and never will you bet! nyJA If i s-s-s THIS FROM A WOKKIXGMAX. HENRY FORD, the world's greatest fnannfaeturer mnA indiviritinT m. ployer of workmen, has been altern ately criticized or praised for his ex pression of opinion on many public questions but he has never subjected himself to the imputation of being a poor business man. He is the living example of a workman who by his own effort has risen from the ranks to great riches. His wealth is so great that it can be assumed he would not stoop to support a tax measure merely to add a trifle to his personal income. Therefore, an interview with Mr. Ford on the tax question, obtain ed by Samuel Crowther for publica tion in Collier's Weekly, is of great interest to the American public Mr. Ford says: "Every cent the Government spends, just as every cent we as citizens spend, has to come from somewhere. Any administration or any set of leg islators that advocate high taxes ought to be run out of office, because what they are really advocating is the high cost of living. "We have to pay some taxes, but the greater part of what we pay ought to go for productive purposes for good roads, for schools, for better health and all those things which make life easier. But we ought to pay as we go and not attempt to have things we cannot afford to have. "We could afford to have a great deal more than we now have and pay out less money. That we can do by w&stirg less than we now waste. Eut there is nothing more dangerous to the prosperity of the country than put'ing heavy taxes on those who seem to have more money than they need. "High taxes on the rich do not take burdens off the poor. They put bur dens on the poor. As far as our com pany is concerned, we can go on about as we are now, whether the surtax is 25 or 50 per cent. We can makfl some improvements, but w cannot do the great things we should do had we more money. 'From a purely selfish standpoint, it does not make the least difference to me whether the Government taxes me 1 per cent or 99 per cent. I do not know exactly, but I imagine I could live just as I now live on 1 per cent of my income. I am not in business to make money as money, but to do many things which I believe are of public benefit, and I believe I can put my money to better public use than the Government can. "Take the Ford car as an illustra tion. With the high surtaxes advo cated as a benefit to the poor man or the man of moderate means, I doubt if ever we should have reached a point where we could have produced a car under $1500, and that only by paying very low wages. "The men who tell the country that the high incomes must be cut down are not working for the benefit of the masses. What they are really saying is something like this: 'You workmen and farmers have got all you ought to have.. Let -us stop right now. From now on this coun try must be run for the benefit of politicians.' "I am interested in seeing every body getting a better living with less effort. I am against anything which stops the country where it is. "One of the great troubles with Eu rope is that the people exist for the Government. Taxes take up what sur plus ought to be used for bettering conditions." s-s-s Our financiers having decided how Germany is to be rehabilitated, the great world conference will now dress the window so that the people will like the appearance of the bonds when they are displayed for sale. A COMPARISON. CTATEMEXTS filed with officials at '-'Salem recently hy two star lines operating in western Oregon ahow each to have earned substantial prof its, while th Astoria street rai'road system suffered such heavy loss that it will r out of business. Many fac- ; tors entered into the business of each of the concerns as a matter of course. , but there is one important difference in operating costs of busses and street cars. Owners of the street car iine spent a large sum building tracks, and must maintain thtm at their own expense. Also, they usual ly have to pay part of the cost of paving the street. Owner of the stage line paid not one cent for the construction of roadbed, and contrib uted very little for its maintenance. In other words, the public taxes it self to pay subsidies to the stage owners. How long will this favorit ism continue? Surely not longer than the next session of the legislature.
