The SALARY Crab.

After an almost lntermina
bic wrangle, which has been in
progress ever since Congress
met, the House OF Representa-.
tives on Wednesday settled the
salary business Temporarily,
at least,) by adopting a resolu.
ton fixing the compensation at
$4,000 and actual expenses OF
travel. The Vice President
and Speaker are to receive
$4,000, and the President and
Cabinet officers are 10 remain
unchanged.
The resolution Is not ~retroac-
tive. No back pay is to be re-
turned.
The Senate committee have
reported a bill reducing the
pay to $1,000 and actual ex
penses OF travel from home.

The report OF the Postm ,st.
er-General is completed, and
shows that the expenses OF the
department will exceed the
income by $4,63S,3s This
does not include 1926, 900 for
mail service between San
Francisco and Japan and CHI.
ma. Yet the Postmaster Gen.
eral told US last year that if
the ranking privilege was
abolished the department
would be self sustaining. There
should be added to this deficit
about another million, which
Uncle Sans Navy, War, Int.
rior and State departments
have paid Uncle Sans Post
office department for carrying
Uncle Sans letters. The re.
peal of the ranking privilege
was one of our greatest of
modern humbugs. There is
only one person makes any.
thing off Of it, and that's the
man who prints the Official
stamps. The people can make
nothing by it no more than a
man can get rich by swapping
jackknives with himself.

IN YINTON CO.

Elsewhere we published q Ia
BILE, which we clip from the
Cincinnati Gazette, showing
the percentage of taxes paid
by all the counties in the State
for local purposes, exclusive oil
State taxes. To it we invite
the careful attention Of the
taxpayers of Vinton county
1t will be seen that there are
but five counties in the State
that pay as high a per cent. as
Vinton, and tour of those are
engaged in an extensive sys-
tenn OF drainage of the whole
counties to make swamp lands
available, which necessarily
makes their local taxes high
In Vinton county We have no
public improvements worthy
Of note; in fact We are behind
all our neighbors In this re-
spect, yet it will be seen that
while the general average Of
the State is l4.9 mills, Vinton
county pays 21,27, or nearly
twice as much as the average.
These are the plain unvarnish-
ed facts from the official record.
While other counties can build
turnpikes, fine Court Houses,
jails, etc., and pay a heavy in
terest on bonds issued under
the old constitution to build
railroads, out of AZ mills tax
alton, we can not carry on the
ordinary expenses of the coun.
ty-for there are hundreds of
county orders u%npaid-on a
tax OF 21.27 mills. These
are the facts; and now we ask
tax payers what they are going
to do about lt9 Take this to
your nelghbor and counsel with
him. There is no political ex-
element now, and you will
have the opportunity to i'm
press the matter upon his
mind, and plenty of time to or.
ganize a movement before
times which will
clean out the tax-eaters ring.
