IH YOlT H AM BFTTER POSTAL
SERUET
IF THE fovrrnint of th United
i Slat, will turn its attention for
i,v minutes firm the oil cndal and
devote three ir.ir.utes of that tins to
consideration of the postal service
In the umall ton that dot the grrat
xptnw of Country America, our rep
rfMnttiri wii) serve a more useful
purpose and perhaps rtin political
prestifre which seems to be the all
importttnt conidera'ion just at this
time.
roAtiraster in a!l mtiaU towns
have the same story to tell. 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

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!

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."

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.
